    Removing oil pan 6.2L

    This was precisely what I'd been looking for, and he did a great job explaining it. The only difference in my car is that I've got a 2WD, which means the engine sits lower. I have to remove the steering rack bolts to lower it down to get the pan out. This is an excellent video on removing and...

    Removing oil pan 6.2L

    On my path to doing the AFM/DOD delete, I'm at the point where I need to remove the cam. I need to walk the chain off it so I don't have to remove the oil pump. I've seen people do it on YouTube, but after trying it, I feel like it's too much force. I've decided to go ahead and drop the oil...

    L86 gen 5 lifter kit

    I decided to buy a kit from briantooleyracing.com because I had been reading reviews, and everything was positive. I talked to a guy there; he was very knowledgeable about my situation and put together a package for me to review. The total cost was about $1500, but that included everything I...

    L86 gen 5 lifter kit

    My wife's 2015 Escalade ESV started making the dreaded knocker sound. The EMU says there is a po302 code about cylinder two is misfiring. I've tried moving around the spark wire, spark plug and coil pack but it still knocks. I'm now about 98% sure it's the lifter. I will be pulling the valve...

    Heater core hose to water pump

    So, I was going to do Scotty's suggestion, but after swapping my lines from what they were, my core stopped gurgling. The left core port goes to the left water pump outlet and the right to the right. I pulled this image off a YouTube and it shows the correct layout.

    Heater core hose to water pump

    I'm concluding that it doesn't make a difference. I've watched about 10 videos about replacing these hoses; some are right-to-right, and some are right-to-left. I'll switch mine to right-to-right and see if it solves my gurgling problem. If I'm wrong, it's only expensive anti-freeze that I'm...

    Heater core hose to water pump

    Thank you both for the responses! The picture shows that your lines are connected right to right, left to left...but the diagram shows how mine is currently connected.

    Heater core hose to water pump

    Good morning, Gents! I'm replacing my water pump because whoever replaced it before me didn't seal it correctly, and it has been slowly leaking. I've done this on other Tahoes, so it's not a big deal. While removing the hoses, I *think* I noticed that whoever did it before might have mixed...

    Side Mirror replacement

    Has anyone tried using Gen 3 side mirrors as replacements for the stock mirrors? I'm looking for something different. I've used the extended truck mirrors but didn't like the look. I think the Gen 3 mirrors look much better. Wondering if anyone has tried them putting them on a Gen 2 Tahoe...

    Ok, what is this?

    Well, that makes complete sense! I thought it was something to hang my sun glasses on. ;)

    Front brake upgrade from 2013 Avalanche?

    After doing a little research, I'm pretty sure the brake calipers off that 2013 Avalanche will work just fine. Looking on Rockauto, I can see that the part numbers (GM GENUINE 85569601/85569602) for the 2007 Tahoe is the same as for the 2013 Avalanche. Also, LSXMatt did a good job showing the...

    Front brake upgrade from 2013 Avalanche?

    I was browsing my local Pick Your Part junkyard when I noticed a 2013 Avalanche just sitting there with the tires off. After further inspection, I could see that they had the two-piston brake caliper, and it made me wonder if they'd fit on my 2001 Tahoe. Any thoughts on this? Is it worth the...
