    Water leak in rear

    Gang, My 2-door has a decent water leak in the rear lift-glass and/or tailgate area. I discovered the carpet in the rear cargo area soaked after our recent storms. I have a floormat that I usually have back there, and had pulled it out to clean it when I discovered the factory carpet wet...

    Window channel nut thingamajig

    I got into the driver side door on my 97 hoe to replace a broken interior handle. I noticed that the metal window channel thing (I don't know what it's called) was spaced out with 3 nuts. I suspect the stereo shop did that when they put in the bigger midrange speakers so the window would clear...

    Which High-4 kit?

    Looking at doing a high 4 kit, because I don't like my HIDs turning off when I want to use my highbeams, which is usually just for a short bit before I encounter other traffic. Intellitronix (unknown brand) for $19 or Painless (known brand) for double that, $39 ? ? ...

    Gang, I need to replace the rear brake drums on my '97 2-door. Are there any *decent quality* aftermarket drums? I don't want to pay stealership prices, but I don't want crap, either. thanks...

    Back up light bulb

    Gang, Had a backup light go out. Pulled it out, says it's a 3057. Strange, that's a 2-filament bulb... So I picked up another 3057, and everything's good now. But after getting home, I checked online and at least a couple sites (Osram Sylv and Phillips) show that OEM spec calls for a...

    HID lamp warm-up

    Gang, I installed a pair of HID lamps (DDM Tuning, their brand, slim ballast) in my hoe. When I turn them on, there is a bright but very brief flash, then the lights go dim. Over the next 5-10 seconds, they gradually warm up to full brightness. Is this normal for HIDs in general? Or normal...

    Power seat buzzing

    Gang, The front-back adjustment on my driver side power seat is jacked. It buzzes and doesn't move (well, sometimes it moves a little). It sounds like a gear is either stripped or only making partial contact with whatever other gear it's supposed to mesh with. I've never had one of these...

    LED lights for license plate light

    Gang, Have any of you replaced your license plate lights with LEDs? I'd like to get a really clean white (4300k) but there are so many styles to choose from, I'm not sure what would be best. Lots of folks use superbrightleds.com, so here are their selections of #194 LEDs as a point of...

    Brake pulsation

    Gang, I've had some intermittent brake pulsation lately in my '97 hoe. I notice it mostly when I'm creeping along around 3 MPH at a metered on-ramp to the freeway by my work. Kinda feels like I'm riding a slow moving horse, if you can imagine it. Anyway, when I do feel it at faster speeds...

    Broken accmulator valve in trans

    A couple months ago I started getting delayed and hard 1-2 upshifts in my '97 hoe, and it also felt sluggish taking off in 1st gear. It was more pronounced when taking off gently, but even WOT launches just didn't have the same oomph as they used to. The computer didn't have any codes. I...

    Coolant capacity in a '97

    Gang, I want to flush the coolant in my '97 (5.7) and run the new mix down to 80:20 (with Water Wetter). Does anyone know what the total capacity is for the coolant system? If I can just flush everything out with distilled water, then add a fixed amount of coolant, it would be easier than...

    Headlight switch knob

    Gang, The headlight switch knob has started to disintegrate in my '97 hoe. It was kinda grimy looking, so I rubbed it with my finger and the rubber/plastic pretty much started to crumble. Yuck!!! What are my options for replacing it with something a little cooler? Billet? I don't want to go...

    My hoe

    Just joined, coming over from the TahoeForum :Handshake: I actually spend a lot more time on FullSizeChevy (and a little chatter on the c/k series listserv). Here's my '97 hoe. 6/7 static drop... Dennis
