    OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

    Only concern I have, is not what some of you are thinking about the 6 gauge wire. It is fine for the charging and will keep the battery up to s*n*u*f*f for running off of if needed. To disconnect, have to loosen the green knobs. When I do that, the knobs will vibrate loose and fall out, over...

    The second battery install is all done. The disconnects are right at the second battery. The battery is the 2 year O'Reilly's Super Start and used 5 foot of positive and negative 6 AWG cable and tied off. The positive cable is attached at the Jump Start snap shut positive cable box and the...

    I have decided to put tools for sale ads up at CL and FB

    @Hey you made a post on another thread that got me thinking. If my medical problems do make it so that I physically cannot turn wrenches any more, I could rent my tools out, with a deposit. The only drawback would be the never ending calls and messages from the ding bats. I believe the best...

    You may have just caused me to rethink selling all my tools because of my medical problems.

    Lost and more than a little bit concerned...

    Welcome to your first post at the forum. After you have cleared codes again and checked all related connections and grounds, especially the add ons, I would like to know the "ma" draw that is going on when Tahoe is shut down for the evening. With all that running in the background, it pays to...

    Can someone help identify his grinding noise?

    Yea, does sound like up top area and does sound like a heat shield. Cold engine and then check it all. The reason we asked about recent transmission work or not, is that so many times, work is done on something, especially major work, and something gets left loose or moved during the major work...

    Just Won a 2012 SSV auction. Going to sell. Advice pls.

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. Need more interior, exterior and engine bay pics to even have a chance for a recommendation. Proof of all service records and repairs? Rust on frame?

    Truck Dash in an SUV

    What @Doubeleive said. The hump is there no matter what. What do you need a middle seat for? Kid.....do the bench seat, like has been said. Adult? Make 'em sit in the back.

    Can someone help identify his grinding noise?

    Gotta agree with the heat shield aspect. You said start up and "slow accel" and I thought you revved the engine.

    Can someone help identify his grinding noise?

    Welcome to your first post after 6 years as a member. If you are talking about the noise when you accelerated the one time, could be numerous things. Sounded like an exhaust noise from either a leak or clogged exhaust but you did not say if the noise affected the power of the engine. Be...

    If you buy without driving, you sometimes talk yourself in to "feeling" the ride is good enough.

    Purchase Options - HELP!!

    Get a rust free GMT800, even if you have to fly to get it, and make sure to see great paperwork/documentation for repairs/maintenance. You will be money ahead. Have the best seats, by the way.

    Last but not least. Choice of positive cable attachment. Inside/under the battery box or at the jumper connection?

    Yea, I did look at those switches choices and decided that simple is better for me and Linda.

    2002 Tahoe LS 98K miles

    Bragging about the towing capacity and adding the extra back up lights at the bottom of the bumper, tells me I would not likely get the truth when asking about how much towing has been done with that Tahoe. Plus, no response back for my questions.

    @Joseph Garcia, I did ask about when the disconnects are plugged together for charging. Is there a pattern you use?

    Now, on to the battery. I did a dry run the other day and verified that an O'Reilly's Super Start 78 series battery will fit in the second battery try and the typical GM battery hold down block bolted right in and held the battery tight. The height is 7.25", width is 7.25" and length is 10...

    So, I do not have a positive fuse block cable connection at the p/s firewall. I believe that red snap close box is a good place to attach the positive battery cable. The other choice for positive cable connection would be at where the small convoluted tubing covered cable snakes down from the...

    My plan is to run the negative cable from the disconnect to the d/s of the engine, toward the front, and ground eyelet to the same as I have already. Right in the middle of the 2 pics. The other main ground comes off the negative side of battery and is inside the convoluted tubing and runs right...

    Ok, I think, because of the clutter on my d/s of the engine compartment, I will be doing the disconnect(s) at the p/s.
