    96 2 door rear wiper switch question

    Did not say I had wipers with my barn doors. Barn doors and wipers are not an option on the same vehicle I took apart a wiper switch to compare when rebulbing my fog light switch. Tbruz

    96 2 door rear wiper switch question

    The dash switches use similar bulbs to the radio. They are T1 12V 50mA wire term bulbs. You need to unsolder the old burnt out one(s) and solder in new one(s). Should be able to get online or at any Radio shack. I also have barn doors but I think the wiper switch has two bulbs in it. Tbruz

    Spline count on stock Rear end??

    1997 Tahoe, 5.7L 2 door 4wd. I want to have a Eaton TruTrac put in the rear and I'm gathering info and pricing. I know it has a 3.73 ratio rear end and I know its a 10 bolt. How many splines are the stock axles, 26? 28? 30??? What is the stock ring size? Thanks Tbruz

    Engine temperature gauge problem?

    Bowtie, I had(have) the same issue with my 97. Scanner reads 195 but the dash temp gauge reads lower. I too replaced the temp sender on the head and on the thermostat housing. Changed T stats twice and tried my spare dash as well. All this with no luck. I finally decided to "recalibrate" the...

    Check gauge light flickering

    I wasn't there but I'll try to get specific wire details. Per the mechanic, it was the feed side of the transmission fuse in the interior fuse block. I do know they had hooked up their remote start controls and noted that when they remote started the vehicle there was no CG light versus a...

    Check gauge light flickering

    Problem Solved and verified at this mornings 1st start; no more Check Gauges light. Vehicle was brought to my mechanic who re-validated that all senders, oil level,oil quality, mech reading of Oil Pressure were in fact correct. On the recommendation to check wiring, the ignition switch wiring...

    1999 Tahoe Hydroboost Install

    You are correct regarding the EVO steering, Its not on a 1996. Two separate issues here plate and pedal 1) Ebay plate is for centering the hydroboost unit in the existing firewall hole. If you already have the HB unit and its centered in its mounting plate you don't need the Ebay plate. If...

    Check gauge light flickering

    A mechanical gauage was isntalled on the manifold( in place of the OP sending unit) ; reads 47 lbs at first start, around 1000 RPM. Mech gauage responds similarly to dash gauge, i.e higher pressure with higher revs, lower pressure at idle or warm. Based on this test I beleive the Oil Pump is...

    Fog light switch re-bulbing

    Learned a new skill this afternoon as I took apart some OBS fog light switches and re-bulbed them. The outside frame with FOG LIGHT illuminates and dims with the dash lights. Center Amber light only comes on when the fogs are in use and is usually good. The outside frame bulb is usually burnt...

    Check gauge light flickering

    So over the weekend, Fri, Sat and Sun I tried two different spare clusters, with same results on both(all three if you count my real cluster), check gauge light comes on at first start, no top end noise and its off in 60 seconds, never to be seen again until next days first start. By the way the...

    Check gauge light flickering

    First start this morning and Check Gauge light came back on for around 45 to 60 seconds. Sender did not fix the issue. I have a spare instrument cluster and I have installed it for tomorrow mornings cold start. Trying to rule out the in-cab electronics as a possible cause. Any other ideas...

    Check gauge light flickering

    Installed new sender and no more flickering check gauge light. Needed to go from the top down while laying on my engine, dizzy stayed in place, but I did have to borrow the "oil-pressure-sending-gauge-socket" from a bud. Thanks Tbruz

    Check gauge light flickering

    Thanks for your input. Just ordered sending unit acdelco 19244500, will replace it over the weekend and post back. Looks like its in a tough place to reach and the dizzy may have to come out to actually get to the sender. Tbruz

    Check gauge light flickering

    1997 Tahoe 5.7L with 137K miles At first start in morning I'm getting a flickering "check gauges" light on dash. Initial start is ok(NO LIGHT) but as soon as I drop it into gear, the light flickers and glows, If I add RPMS, light goes out. Any other starts in the day are fine, no check...

    #$$@& HydroBoost Swap

    So I finally got around to re-bleeding the brakes. Pedal got a little bit firmer, slightly higher up as well. I then borrowed a friends Snap-On Solus Pro and ran the ABS Activation test 4 times as per the factory shop manual. This test cycles the ABS pump and valves in sequence. Pedal got a LOT...

    Steering box

    If you like the feel of your steering and if you still have the variable assist steering working(EVO and steering sensor on column are good) then stick with a stock unit from places already suggested. If you want to firm up the steering feel go with a Redhead steering box and have them adjust...

    #$$@& HydroBoost Swap

    Thanks for confirming my suspicions Sunlit. two questions: 1) Does your HB upgrade suffer from a softer pedal at first cold start? 2) Now that we have Hydroboost system installed, Is it true that we cannot use the NBS master cylinder fix to firm the pedal travel due to the size...

    #$$@& HydroBoost Swap

    3 additional hours on Saturday and I'm done; hydroboost upgrade is complete. Initial impressions are that the braking performance is definitively improved; ie shorter distance required to stop. I am a little disappointed in the pedal though, its not "instantly" firm at its uppermost location as...
