    Hello from Finland

    Welcome from Colorado and hope your Tahoe treats you well! I also did some rust busting on my 2013 Burb, I think that’s a good investment of your time.

    2013 Tahoe LS Radiator(s)?

    Probably has the oil cooler, check the back side (engine side) of the radiator for the oil cooler lines on the driver’s side of the radiator. My 6.0 also has the transmission cooler integrated into the radiator, those lines are on the passenger side

    AC compressor not engaging

    yes the low pressure switch will prevent the ac clutch from engaging. When you put gages on it verify the level of charge, if its empty or nearly empty you should draw a vacuum on the system to see if it has any leaks before adding charge. The hi/lo fill valves are known to leak over time, plan...

    Is this frame too late to save ?

    BTW, that spare tire and carrier was a mess, I unbolted all that and went to town!

    Is this frame too late to save ?

    That isn’t extraordinary rust. It looks like mine did before i cleaned it up, now it’s more of a keep it up project. Yours also looks like it had been undercoated at some point, and when the undercoat starts failing it holds water against the frame and its off to the races for the rust. I use...

    Congrats on the new addition, I have a 99 1/2 ton burb that my son took to san diego so I looked and found a 13 Burb k2500 that I’ve been driving all over the place. Awesome vehicles

    Why don’t my batteries last !!!!

    I know they all say ‘maintenance free’ but they do lose water over time. I got 14 years out of my T4R battery and it needed 15-20 cc of distilled water in each cell every year. Once the lead plates are exposed to air they will oxidize and it only takes one bad cell to ruin the battery. You can...

    Newbie looking at a 2018 Tahoe SSV 18k miles

    I looked at a number of fleet burbs, the rear seats were vinyl. You’d most likely have to remove the emergency lighting, many states even ban the a-pillar lights on personally owned vehicles. These trucks may have engine hour counters (Can be reset) in the driver info center Up armoring type...

    Need to Replace Upper Control Arms and Ball Joints

    The factory puts a plastic insert in the camber cam to hold it in stock position, and I’ve seen those stay put for a long, long time. Once the plastic insert is removed, however, I’ve had the camber re-adjust itself (bumps, hard braking) and then you’re troubleshooting front end wobbles and...

    Need to Replace Upper Control Arms and Ball Joints

    Tie rods and idler arm if they’re worn since you’re in there and will need an alignment. Also, I like the DK Camber alignment cams, they have holes instead of one long slot, and they stay put. https://a.co/d/4OvXmcz

    Anyone tried Extended travel CV Axles?

    2013 k2500 Burb, CV axles are still ok (now at 10 years / 90k) and started browsing replacements. I noticed the Trakmotive extreme CV axles for our trucks and wondered if anyone had given them a try. They use 10 v 8 ball bearings (for 67 v 34 degrees of angle) and have a sliding shaft for more...

    Front suspension sag with plow

    I bought the timbrens for my 99 burb when I was fitting it for a plow, they helped. When you crank the keys make sure you jack up the front end to remove the load first. I’m also a fan of blades with wheels to help support the weight of the plow and prevent porpoising over bumps, not sure if...

    Rubbing sound after dropping front differential

    2013 Burb, leaky oil cooler lines. I dropped the front differential to install the new oil cooler lines and afterwards it made a rubbing sound when steering wheel was turned 1/2 turn to the left. I thought it was the tire lugs rubbing the mud flap in the fender well and after a little...

    Easiest way to install manifold clamps? Dorman Manifold clamps

    I bought replacement arp bolts and watched a few yt videos on removing them. Best tricks I saw were doing one bolt out/in at a time, using penetrating oil and heating the bolts first, and going very slowly on each bolt a little cw / ccw until you feel the bolt starting to free up. Most guys...

    Carrying extra fuel in an SUV

    Rather than carrying gas cans, I use a siphon that I can transfer fuel from my tank to hers… Super Siphon w/ 6' Siphon Hose 2... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZORJ1E?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    How do I know what transfer case I have? This is the only label I could find. 98 Yukon 4x4.

    I read once that the NP8 actually had multiple suppliers (could’ve just been the new process / new venture thing) but a few of us have gone through this from time to time. I think you’ve already figured it out, but putting a swab into the fill hole would have probably been good advice since...

    In a real pickle with fuel pump issues. Advice appreciated!!

    Do these vehicles have the low-oil pressure fuel cutoff switches? That would interrupt the power supply.

    Oil filter leak after 1st change…

    I’ve seen oil filters leak from two things; one is from the old gasket being stuck on the engine and the new filter is put on top of of the old gasket (2 gaskets are not better than one). The second is faulty oil filters usually not crimped correctly at the can’s base. normally you see the leak...
