    White smoke issue

    Great suggestions by all. Currently I’m at 275k miles so I guess it was only a matter of time for issues arose.

    White smoke issue

    Recently had white smoke pouring out of the passenger side tail pipe and a rough idle. Checked the coolant and it keeps showing low after being driven. The motor hasn’t overheating yet according to the gauge. Could this just be an intake manifold gasket? What other things should I be looking at...

    What are you talking about when you say case? Like the crankcase?

    From what I can tell it’s coming from the oil filter bracket/lines. I plan on having them changed when the front end work gets completed

    Water in Passenger floorboard

    I went outside and cleaned out the cowl. There was some debris present so hopefully that was the issue. I have it airing out right now. I’m pretty sure the heater core has been replaced in the last few years. I would just think if it was coming from the firewall you could follow the moisture...

    Water in Passenger floorboard

    In my 1996 Tahoe that I am working on I have noticed that the passenger footwell is always soaked with water. I cleaned out the drain at the fire wall and I haven’t noticed any water leaking. Any ideas what could cause this? Bad door seal perhaps?

    I also found leaking oil lines today when blowing out the drain. Something else I need to get taken care of

    1996 2Door Tahoe Refurbishment

    I got the roof rack installed other night. It’s a simple one from sportsman’s warehouse. I also installed new 4x10 speakers in the rear. The Tahoe is going into the shop on January 16 to have the front end completely replaced. I wanted to do it myself but decided against it due to work and other...

    Got the Tahoe back from paint and installed the new starter. The ticking has stopped thank God. Next will be some new crossbars and then will probably start on front suspension and steering Chandler

    it was done before the transmission replacement within the last couple of years. it has been parked essentially for the past 4. the guy who rebuilt the transmission said that the seal looked really good and he did not see the point in replacing it.

    They inspected the flex plate, fly wheel and even the rear main seal while it was out

    1996 2Door Tahoe Refurbishment

    We had the transmission rebuilt after getting 265k plus miles out of it. It was done by a very reputable shop. I started the Tahoe cold other day and climbed underneath and tapped the starter with a hammer. It was making the exact noise it does under load. So that’s what led me to the starter

    I heard it a few days after it got out of the transmission shop. I’m pretty sure it’s the gear not withdrawing. I’m going to throw a starter in today or tomorrow.

    It might be hard to tell in the photos but the hood needs to be repainted. This is getting done tomorrow. We just recently had the transmission rebuilt with all upgraded parts. Cosmetically the carpet needs to be replaced as well as the dash. I have been looking into a dashskin for it and a...

    1996 2Door Tahoe Refurbishment

    So I am going to start a build thread on the work I’m doing on my 1996 2 door Tahoe LS. My dad bought me this car when I was in high school and we have kept it for the last 19-20 years. It’s been parked for a couple of years and I have recently pulled it out of retirement to drive. I will be...
