    Torque app users?

    I have the Torque Pro app but some of PIDs don't work like cylinder misfire counts mainly. I have a 1997 chevy tahoe. If you have the Torque app can you tell me if the cylinder misfire counts work for you? thanks

    Looking at a 96 Tahoe - questions about inspections and towing

    It's very common for the stock radiators from Delphi to develop cracks at this age and is talked about a lot of various forums. They are not going to do TSBs for almost 20 year old trucks that have issues with radiators 18 years later...

    Looking at a 96 Tahoe - questions about inspections and towing

    The coolant leaking could be from the plastic side tanks used on these radiators. I bought mine that had a crack where the upper oil line connects. I almost didn't see it when i bought it because it was a slow drip. It's very common for the side tanks to crack.

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    Wow are you ok? I couldn't even understand that drivel. I know you live here but stop taking it so serious. I simply was making sure I had the correct map sensor in so if you get fired up over that I don't know what to tell you. Yep 20 years working on cars and trucks. Nobody knows...

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    Who is worrying? I am making sure I have the correct map sensor installed simple as that. Don't worry about what I'm "worrying" about. I asked a question. I changed the map sensor before and not sure if I have one from the junk yard in or the one that came with the truck. I might have put...

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    nope I was expecting that comment too:) It's slightly dirty not gummed up. I took a pick and poked it in he hole and wiped it with a rag. the holes are certainly different in size.

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    Ok what explains the different size hole between the both of them but the same part number and same manufacturer? One would let more air in. Look at the attached pictures same numbers different size holes. I also looked up that number 16187556 number on Ebay and lots of listings said it...

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    The hole that the rubber seal is on is a different size on the 2 extra i have. So that 4 digit number i think is not a date code. All 3 have the number 16187556 but all of them have different 4 digit numbers. I asked if someone can read the numbers on your truck.

    Verify I have the correct MAP sensor in my 97 Tahoe

    I have in my truck now part # 16187556 and there is a 4 digit # below that I have 7070. I have 2 spare MAP sensors from the junk yard all with the same #16187556 but the 4 digit numbers for those are 7252 and 6304 Can someone here take at look at their truck and tell me what numbers are on...

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

    So my JB Weld idea didn't work the nuts just twisted off like nothing. So I just cut 2 studs flush with the flange and tried to drill them out but I couldnt get a drill in straight. So i ended up putting it back together with one stud that wasn't broken and I put a 3 inch c clamp on it...

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

    Yep I JB welded the nuts onto the studs. I put some on the threads and on top of the nut. I only sprayed PB on the top of the exhaust flange where the stud screws into it none gets down on the stud.

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

    I changed the rear diff fluid because i wasn't sure if the previous owner did. There was quite a bit of metal sludge on the magnet but no chunks of metal. Hopefully i delayed the need for a rebuild or new rear for at least 3+ years. I also tried to remove the 2 broken exhaust studs that i...

    Those rims are from a Silverado? They look awesome on obs style trucks. I hate my stock 16s I want to get exactly what you have. They seem to fit the boxy look of our trucks better. I found some people selling them on craigslist I just don't have the dough for rims. I need tires bad and my...

    Fule pump brand?

    Delphi without a doubt. I just put a Delphi in my tahoe 2 months ago and this truck starts up so quick in a split second. And my fuel gauge now works correctly:roflbow:

    Oil cooler lines question

    I changed my oil cooler lines the other day and they fit loosely at the oil adapter. I can pull them in and out about an 1/8" roughly and spin the lines. I pushed them in until i heard click from the retaining clip and slip the plastic caps over and they clicked too. Weird the lines feel...

    What type of gear oil in the rear diff? So confusing

    I'm reading that using gear oil with limited slip additive can damage the diff. It is a locker not a limited slip.

    What type of gear oil in the rear diff? So confusing

    I have a G80 rpo code on my 1997 tahoe and i read that it's a locking differential and you don't use gear oil with limited slip additive. Then I look up the rpo code and it says a G80 is a limited slip differential ??:wtf: I just bought Valvoline 80w90 that has a little label on the front...

    Leaking oil lines....

    It's leaking oil at the hose crimps a common problem on these trucks and many other gm's. Mine are leaking pretty bad also. There is mod to eliminate the crimped connection. Buy some high pressure oil hose 300-400 psi and use fuel injection hose clamps to hold it on. If you buy...

    Truck shudders bad going uphill ?

    Yeah it was doing something. Now I know what that weird smell was when i was driving it was the belt burning rubber because of the pulley jamming. Still no shudder after I put my old tensioner on. I replaced it with a junk yard one because mine was kinda jumping back and forth too much...

    How much weight can I put in my Tahoe?

    1997 4 door 4x4 LS all stock. I have to pickup some solid cinder blocks from home depot 45 of them. They weigh 35 pounds each so about 1,600 pounds total. I'm going to lay the seats flat and put a sheet of plywood down and spread the load out evenly. Will that be too much weight or...
