    No start to start...unexpected.

    Must be something going around! My truck did the same thing the weekend before this past one. I drove it to and from the area I snowmobile in and had no issues. I got home and took it to the car wash to get the salt off and it ran fine the rest of the night. Overnight the temp dropped...

    Tahoe - 4l80e or 4l60e

    I meant re-gearing your differentials which you are already doing in addition to the solid axle swap. I was thinking this was a daily driver type of application not special purpose. I still think that going with a heavy duty rebuilt 4l60e is a viable option. have you checked out...

    97 Yukon Idling rough and trouble reving

    Which sensors did the mechanic replace? You said he replaced one for each bank but there are 2 per bank, one in front of each of the cats and one after each. The ones in front of the cats handle fuel management and the ones after the cat read the quality of the emissions. The code you are...

    Goodyear Duratrac- The Great Equalizer

    I have not had any experience with the Duratrac but every set of Goodyear tires that I have ever run did not wear for crap. I have had much better luck with BF Goodrich and Bridgestones when it comes to longevity. The Goodrich tires that I am running right now were installed by the original...

    Tahoe - 4l80e or 4l60e

    Craig, If I were you I would stick with the 4l60e myself and once you get the tires you want on it spend the money on re-gearing so that the tranny won't work as hard. If you have the factory tow package then you are even better off as you should have the added transmission cooler as well...

    97 Yukon Idling rough and trouble reving

    I think what the original poster might be inferring is that his O2 sensor triggering may have been caused by the injectors dumping too much fuel into the system. For the Original Poster: When the mechanic did the scan what codes did he find. That should be your first place to start. If you...

    Dropping fuel pressure at WOT

    If you are maintaining pressure then your regulator, injectors and the overall integrity of the fuel system is good. Which pretty much points to delivery as the culprit either a restriction i.e. clogged filter or pressurizing system i.e. fuel pump. Here are some links that might help you in...

    Dropping fuel pressure at WOT

    Either you have a leak or restriction in your supply line or your fuel pump is not operating correctly. When was the last time you changed your fuel filter? If it is old and partially clogged then that can cause a reduction in pressure. When you shut down your truck does the system...

    hesitation

    The back screw on the distributor can be a bear to. Remove the air cleaner so you have better access to it. You have to climb up on the fender or use a stool or small ladder and really reach to get to it (of course having a lift kit just adds to the problem of getting to it). Careful when...

    I hate salt!!!

    I went with Rustoleum rust converter and did the frame, wheel wells and any areas showing rust this past weekend. Since my truck has never seen a winter (that will change this year) I just had some issues with slight surface rust. I am hoping to keep ahead of the rust. In the spring my plan...

    CSFI to MPFI conversion identification

    Delphi makes the AC Delco unit so it is the same, you just eliminate the middle man. I will be doing this swap next spring. The previous owner of my truck had the intake gasket done and the recommended initial service done on the injectors before I bought it, it sucks that he did not want...

    Hi-Lift Jacks

    Kris, I would agree with all that has been said. I have never lifted my tahoe by the bumper with it yet as I have not had a need to but I would go with what Jonathan said and lift from a frame point (I do not trust these bumpers much anymore especially the front due to the SRS). I got the jack...

    new to the forum and lifted trucks

    Nice truck, you definitely make a trade up in the world although your MPG will most surely go down from the Mazda. Welcome!

    Coolant leaking inside my passenger foot area.

    You will definitely need heat if you are at Ft Lewis now. Great place to be though if it is anything like it was in the mid 70's when I was there.

    Hi-Lift Jacks

    Hi-Lift jacks are great especially for getting unstuck but they are heavy and kind of awkward/cumbersome. If all you are looking for is a jack to lift your rigs for maintenance then a floor jack or a bottle jack is a much better option. That being said, I have used mine for everything from...

    I hate salt!!!

    Actually, the snow is not the issue it's all the darn salt that they use on the roads. One flake of snow hits the road and they dump a pound of salt on it. I love the winters in upstate NY, it means playtime for me!:party33: Sorry for the thread hijack - I now return control to your...

    Coolant - Found my leak, Or is it a crack?

    Stop Leak may provide a temporary fix but I would still switch out the radiator at least before cold weather sets in. I have a few people I know that have had their water pumps fail after using stop leak and looking at the pumps they were pretty gunked up but they may have been close to failure...
