    Swapping door problems

    Hey all - Was having some major problems with the driver side door in my 98 2-door Tahoe. I could no longer open it form the inside since the plastic tab holding the the handle to the metal rod broke, and also something was going on where the window was completely off the track. It had power...

    Oil leak near the filter, need to replace oil cooler gasket?

    The original one is super crumbled and pieces were actually stuck in there. I cleaned it out good but have no idea what the original looked like. I'm not gonna take that adapter all the way off again because that would involve disconnecting the oil cooler lines which is a huge PITA with those...

    Oil leak near the filter, need to replace oil cooler gasket?

    So I'm leaking oil right near where the filter screws on, I've narrowed the leak down to right near where the oil cooler lines plug in on the oil filter adapter. Looks like I need the kit pictured below. Appears felpro makes one (although has terrible reviews on advanced auto) or one made by...

    Tippy hoe

    Sort of a weird story, had all my front suspension replaced last fall. Fast forward to May of this year, parked the hoe for the weekend and when I went to start it up on Sunday, drove it about 1/4 a mile and all of a sudden heard a loud bang like a huge rock kicked up and hit the underside of...

    Gas Smell

    I had the same thing a year ago, smelled gas inside the car and all around the truck but didn't see any leaking. Turned out the top of my gas tank was rusting through, after replacing that and the filler neck my smell was cured. Also replaced the fuel pump while under there.

    Leaking oil lines....

    Replaced my hoses, ended up having to take off the part the lines run into and the oil filter screws onto (has 2 bolts holding it on). In the process I destroyed the main paper (metal?) gasket, so I bought http://www.amazon.com/Fel-Pro-ES72671-Misc-Set/dp/B000C2CFWW. When I reinstalled it, I...

    Leaking oil lines....

    Noticed last night I had a ton of oil coming down in the front driver side wheel well, and also from under the front chin. Got underneath it and looked up and it appeared to be coming from an oil cooler line that runs near the gear box. I tried to take some pictures to help identify it, because...

    383 Installed

    Make sure to get all the bolt ons you want installed before you take it to get a tune, saves money from having to be retuned again :p

    what engine oil do you guys use on your Tahoe?

    I use Pennzoil Platinum, change about every 4500. I'm using a Wix filter and I'm not sure how many miles it can take.

    Tahoe 98 having trouble starting.

    Mine does the same thing, except when it's cold (between negative 10 and 20 degrees) it will not even turn over, just makes a grinding noise. Someone told me it was my starter solenoid going out? Normally I have to turn it a handful of times (4-5) before the starter actually sounds engaged. I...

    Blown belt and heads?

    Drives just like it should, no overheating or funny smells or noises. Will change the oil tomorrow since it's due for a change anyways, and hope for the best :happy160: Turns out the belt tensioner blew or something, and that is what took out the belt. So I had to pick up a new $20 tension wheel...

    Blown belt and heads?

    I'll do an oil change tonight and check the oil for coolant, that should be a for sure way to tell. No coolant in the oil, then I'm good.

    Blown belt and heads?

    Driving down the highway tonight, had the belt completely blow. Pulled over after I noticed the battery light and check gauge light turn on in the dash. Noticed then the fan wasn't spinning and the temp gauge was all the way over to the red. Limped it home approx 1 mile from where I noticed the...

    If that is stock, than mine is lifted beyond belief with no lift kit.

    285/70/17 on stock Denali

    Will this same tire size fit on a 98 Tahoe with no lift or torsion crank? Running 265/75R16 now. I'd run them on a 17x9, and someone online said the tire itself would be wider running on a 9" wide rim rather than an 8" wide rim? I just figured running on a wider rim would mean not as much tire...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Is that on a 350 or 383? What does the rest of your exhaust system consist of? Any video of the final product?

    PACT Tranny Blown

    Are you running oversized tires? If so did you ever re-gear? If not, that can create an extra load of wear on your transmission.

    Gear ratio suggestion

    Yes, but you'll have better pickup and go :D I know people have said with bigger tires, if you don't re-gear your torque converter next locks which can cause havoc on the drivetrain.
