Seems like its easier to just buy the eaton locker and install it than doing a swap. I really like the factory eaton locker that comes with these vehicles. In the ice or mud you can tell it is locked, no limited slip junk that rackets when you turn
Make sure it's not the case issue. My 2004 had the case issue where the internal oil pump wears a hole through the case and the oil slowly drips out. This is a known failure in these years. There is no seal leaking the case has a hole in it.and the oil drruels out of it.
I pulled my transfer...
A programmer will help you can get a lot more torque but I average 13mpg. I bought the k&n for my 2004 tahoe it's a waste of money to be honest. There is nothing Cold air about it. It's warmer air than stock. If you want a louder engine than yeah that part works but there is no more HP. I have...
Its very normal My 04 does the same thing…after about a minute it quietens down. I thought it was oil not at the lifters and once you run a minute its lubricated. I was going to try lucas oil stabilizer added to the oil and see if that helps but hadnt made it a priority. On cold days the noise...
Go somewhere else and dont trust a person that says you need an engine when the lifter is bad thats very low knowledge of how this works. My dad had the same thing on his 6.0 and drove for about 2 years and locked up the motor but it was a lot lot worse than this. he could have fixed it by...
I wasted money on my 04 with a k&n cold air intake. I can tell you calling this cold air compared to the factory one is a scam. Maybe less restrictive i could see but it makes you hear the motor sucking air more which some people like that. Its really a waste of money for an inferior product...
The gm 3 years/50k warranty is a lot better and cheaper. These are remanufactured not refurbished there is a big difference. When you take it to a rebuild place they replace things that are broke and obviously warn out but if something tests ok they will reuse it. I think longevity will come to...
I have had 2 tahoes , a 99 and currently have a 2004. Both had solenoid issues. Never over heated that i know of but there is no guage who knows. I rarely tow anything, i changes the fluid and it atill happens. My dad has a 02 silverado and the sunshell broke on it at around 100k but no...
I had the same issue cant buy the parts that came in it. Had 41-985 ac delco….they lasted over 224k on them as did the wires. Starting having a little issue with rough idle…..i replaced with ngk-1465 i figure motor wont last that long but running very smooth. I couldnt buy the oem 0445 ac...
This is crazy but i have 225k miles on my tahoe and pretty sure it has the original spark plugs. I did buy it used 2ith 110k on it but the lady i bought it from said she had only changed tires on it and transmission had gone out and wasjust rebuilt. The plugs are 41-985…the plugs still work but...
How about getting a programmer and changing the way it shifts? I have a 04 and hated it for a while the programmer made a big difference in changing the shift points. Your tranny is setup for eco not fun. You could change that with a programmer. No idea abouut something that new but on an 04...
A lot of people say to get a tech2 scan and trace wires. Most people cant get one of those and too much trouble to be honest trying to figure out electronics. There is nothing wrong with that but although i have a degree in physics i am really simple minded. Another approach is to observe what...
Ditto, i have a 04 z71 there is no traction control on these. I am suprised your locker didnt activate. After 1.5 revolutions that rear differential should make a loud clunk noise and then the other rear wheel should start spinning. The z71 has an eaton locker in it from the factory maybe...
Hello i have a 2004 tahoe. It drives fine no codes but every once i a while i see a wet spot on the ground where the tailpipe is. I have never seen anything dripping but obviously it has because its pretty often i notice a wet spot. I want to say its just condensation but none of my other...
Sounds like fuel pump to me it needs quite a bit of pressure to stay going. Do you keep your gas tank full? I have read that the gas actually helps keep the pump cool. I wouldnt think a leaking injector would stop an engine like this. It would sputter around for a bit. Maybe the fuel pump...
You will likely never have to have low range. These vehicles plenty of torque to grt you rolling. The wide tires will help also. I doubt a locker will help like it does on ice and mud where the road could have grip on some places but slippery on others. Sand is usually very consistent and...
I use either cardboard or the windshield shades to roll around on to keep gou out of the dirt/rock/mud…They are soft. The windhield shade is very slippery it suprises me how i can slide around under there. I would get a piece of 2x12 to put the jack on so it doesnt sink
I have a 246 on my 2004 tahoe that had the dreaded oil pump rub through the case issue. I pulled all the gears out of there to put in the new case. Its pretty simple gear on gear not much to go wrong. I really doubt its the transfer case. If you really think its the transfer case and you can...
I would replace that plug to start with. Its cheap. Just because you put a new plug in there doesnt mean its not defective. If you have the old wire maybe put that wire back on at some point if you continue to have issues
