    Fog light wiring 96 tahoe 2dr

    Fog light harnesses( 1-underdash and 1-underhood) ONLY came in Z71 tahoe, Denali or Escalades. I don't think that foglights were actually a separate option that was offered by GM on Tahe/suburban/pickups. The relay is part of the underdash harness, typically attached to/near the brake pedal...

    Mirror glass question

    The bad news is it appears that there is no GM or aftermarket replacement heated mirror glass for our vintage vehicles GMT400- there is plenty of non-heated glass available from the aftermarket (Burco) as well as from GM(PNs are 12382607 and 12382608) The good news though is that while complete...

    rear view mirror sensors

    Barn doors or lift gate? On my 97 with barn doors there are two spring loaded plunger type connectors at the upper side of each door that make contact with the body side; completing the circuit. These are notorious for corrosion and can easily be measured with your volt meter and cleaned as...

    Pest control

    Vehicle is parked outside and gets used 4-6x per week. In winter months it gets used daily. I added a few drops of peppermint oil after yesterdays(6th time) cleanout. smells nice, not too crazy overpowering and not toxic to humans- Let see if that works. Thanks

    Pest control

    2004 Tahoe. I've had to pop out the blower motor 6 times in the past two years due to mice/chipmunks using the blower housing as acorn storage. Luckily its an easy R&R but its getting a little old and i'd really like to believe I'm smarter that a chipmunk......so I should be able to solve this...

    Mirror glass question

    1997 Tahoe 2 door with 1998+ heated mirrors added by me. Was the passenger and drivers door mirror glass available as a replacement level item or did the entire mirror need to be replaced? If just glass can be replaced then Id appreciate the PN for heated passenger side glass as mine has seen...

    Dreaded Random Misfire at high speed or under load- next steps?

    Final update: 1 year later. After confirming a misfire via scanning live misfire data it was observed that one of the plug wires recently replaced(Ac Delco) was actually bad as well-right out of the box. Confirmed via spray test(water misted onto the wires while truck is running) and you could...

    Hydroboost using new parts question

    Ill try and post some pics with dimensions of where the HB unit sits when mounted. Its about 8" off off the firewall (end of mounting bolt) and about 7" off of the edge of the DS valve cover. Yes I installed PS cooler as well. PS cooler was the simplest component of all this upgrade to install...

    Hydroboost using new parts question

    Back when I did this I went all new parts. I suspect that "new" is not an option today. My unit has the gold accumulator and fit without any additional alignment plates or issues. I think that the HB brake pedal itself is going to be the tough find- everything else, HB unit, master cylinder, PS...

    Hydroboost using new parts question

    Go to RockAuto.com and look up the items for a 1997 diesel Tahoe. Those had HB brakes from the factory. If I recall correctly the biggest issue I had back then was locating the correct brake pedal. 8 years later and I still daily drive and love the 2 door. The HB upgrade has performed...

    Rear disc brake issue- need advise

    The caliper pistons pushed back very easy with the reservoir cap off/loosened. The machine shop blasts the inside hat of the rotor to ensure no corrosion is present. I hit the trucks hubs mating surface with a rust colored scotch brite pad on my drill to remove anything there. i had sprayed...

    Rear disc brake issue- need advise

    Scottydoggs, I did clean up the pad "hooks" a bit to clean up the paint flash/metal edges prior to lubing them. Pad fit did not appear problematic- not tight nor loose' I'm leaning towards re-installing old pads shortly just to rule them out or in as possibilities. Zero cost and quick enough...

    Rear disc brake issue- need advise

    PNW Vietvet; I just added that new hardware was used. All metal slide/contact points were lubed. Brake fluid is clean having been flushed maybe 30K miles ago. Unfortunately for me I can't check runout, no dial gauge in hand. Warpage from the machine shop is a definite possibility, just thought...

    Rear disc brake issue- need advise

    Fless, I ruled out the parking brakes because the sounds appear ONLY when I'm applying the brakes. My thinking was if it was the parking brakes then I'd hear the noise all the time not just when braking.

    Rear disc brake issue- need advise

    2004 Tahoe with 5.3 engine. Longish stoty so be patient please. Some background: I'm a fairly decent home wrench and have performed brake replacements on about 75 different occasions and varied vehicles across many years ( family and friends) certainly not a professional though so I'm looking...

I chased down a similar type of hard to locate shudder at 65 -70 MPH that turned out to be my tranny not making a clean shift into overdrive ( torque converter lock up issue) Check tranny condition and try driving without going into OD/4th...
