Yes, correct. Plastic install "tool" was way larger than seal and machined flat. Flat, even, slow install. I made sure I wasn't angled or anything.
Took my time and several whacks with dead blow on plastic tool to ensure a smooth install.
Yes, the sealing surface on the axle had typical...
good questions! I used a flat machined 6" piece of UHMWPE rod that i cut to 3" thick. Basically a large round flat piece of plastic and a dead blow mallet.
And yes, I lubed the inside of the seals real good before sliding the axle shafts in...very carefully.
'09 Tahoe. Front Diff pumpkin gasket was leaking and the pinion seal as well.
Pulled the front diff, replaced all gaskets and pinion seal and while there, replaced both axle seals (were not leaking before).
I was very careful, took my time, cleaned everything and reinstall per the book.
I had...
Do you have this setup in a video? I know you say that you want it louder, but this is the exact setup i was looking at doing. I dont want it that loud, but just a little better sound.
OK, looks like the last hose I needed is the 15834773 (Since I have rear heat controls). It has that quick connector I needed.
Thank you 89Suburban and donjetman for the links to other posts!
Been looking, but cant find a thread that details all the part numbers needed to complete the Tee and Hose replacement.
I found the black GM Tee: 15055342
The white GM Tee: 15055343
The heater core GM hose: 22885825 (appears to have the crimped on quick connector to attach to the 15055342...
Yes. Thats what i am looking for. I have found others, but the plug was in the rear section of the pan and would be right where the exhaust crosses over.
This one can easily be drained. Thank you.
Hey Onlyone,
Couls you point me to the pan with the drain plug that you are referring to? I am only finding the older 4 speed pan when i do searches.
Thanks.
Alright, well I will keep my eye on that as well.
I assume only codes that my Tech2 will see or are you talking codes that throw a check engine?
Thanks Doubeleive and Geotrash!
GReAt.......:rolleyes:. Well, i guess i have that to look forward to. Has a 3 YR warranty, so if it doesnt make it a year, i guess I'll know why.
Can you enlighten me on the "updated" design for the alternator?
Took the battery to the parts store. They load tested and it said good, so i had them test it over and over. Probably 5-6 times. Each time the reserve capacity dropped about 6%. So, what started at 96% dropped to 79% after the last test. Cell going out. Bought a new battery. AGM this...
Tested bad in the car when hot and just shut off. Took it out and let it sit over night, then retested it. Tested good. So I bench tested with a load (work light). Bad. The capacity kept dropping every time I load tested. So I’m probably on the edge of a bad cell. Probably going to switch it...
So I had something weird happen about an hour ago. I scoured the pages, but non of the "service traction control" threads said anything about this.
I was sitting in a parking lot with the engine idling. Probably idling for 10 mins or so. Cold out, like 38 deg.
All of a sudden, all my gauges...
This guy has a great YouTube channel for his transmission shop. I'm wierd and I like to watching engine rebuilds and transmission rebuild videos. Your Sonnax article reminded me of this video from the transmission shop where he stumbles upon the 8th ball for the first time.
8th ball in 6L80E...
I have been asked for this part number from several other Tahoe and Burb owners not on this forum. I looked and realized i never came back here and added it here for others.
Here is the tote i used from Lowes:
Hefty Tote
So we all know the issue with rear cargo storage in the Tahoe and I see multiple solutions on here for adding storage in lieu of the third row seating. I need the third row seats in all the time for the family.
In my endless pursuit of every little bit of extra space i can get, i try to find...
Swapped out the old chrome LTZ five spokes for a set of Silverado wheels. The Chrome was starting to flake and slow leak around the bead. Found a guy on marketplace that swapped his for black rims and just wanted them out of his garage. Got lucky with that find. Glad I pulled the trigger.
