    Intake manifold leak?? Help and thanks

    Is it only on the first start up of the day? Or is it consistently puffing white smoke.. like from start up and throughout your drive? Get worse with hard acceleration?

    Looking for someone to tune, 2005 Tahoe.

    Well, The ECU on our 2005 Tahoe is starting to have issues. Would like to get a fresh one. Hoping it would last until we started doing engine mods, but its not wanting to wait. If possible, would like to get a new one with a mild tune on it, and then able to retune as it gets more modified...

    Thanks! Going to start looking into them today. Mabey look at whats all involved swaping to the 2500 diff. Or a solid axle swap? Keep forgetting to ask on here. What is available for doing a brake upgrade? Have seen something about a package that is for the Police Brake Package.

    Yep, it does. Going to swap it out in few months. What would you guys recommend? Would like air lockers front and rear. Richmond or Yukon? Haven't started looking real hard yet.

    Final pattern. .04 pinion depth shim. Backlash .06. Overall preload 18 inch lbs. Its the best i could get with the shims i have. Had to tap in carrier shims. Now all berings have about 30 miles on them. So went with slighty above used berings preloads.

    Had .07 shims, i added pinion depth and went to .03 bringing pinion away from center. Seems to look ok?
