    Dr. side wiper arm problems?

    Ended up being the part of the transmission that mounts to body broke off. Factory transmission had a plastic housing. The replacement had a metal housing with new bolts. It's back in business. Thank you for the help.

    Dr. side wiper arm problems?

    My driver side wiper arm attempted to self eject on my way to work this morning. They were both working fine then the Dr side flopped over and hit the door mirror at the speed of light then that was all she wrote.... It's really hard to push it back down to resting position and does the same...

    Rear axle shifted back with 3" block kit. 99 Yukon Denali

    This how I see it: The spring sits higher at the rear of the body. The spring sits lower at the front of the body. Not alot of height difference but some is present. This creates an arc of travel at ride height vs compression. If you move the axle away from the spring w/ a block, then you...

    Rear axle shifted back with 3" block kit. 99 Yukon Denali

    It doesn't really feel stiffer to me, just better supported. But again that's my opinion. How far kicked back are we talking? Would you say that mine has the issue?

    Rear axle shifted back with 3" block kit. 99 Yukon Denali

    The angled block will help and like SLC said said as long as the angles match you'll be ok. But, I feel like you're going to have some axle wrap going on. What shape is your spring packs in? Was your butt sagging without the blocks? I used to prefer blocks until I tried an Add-a-leaf system. I...

    95 Tahoe 3" body lift questions

    The kit should come with front bumper brackets. If it doesn't, I'd Definately buy them. Or purchase a kit that does come with them. Performance accessories is the original manufacturer for most brands of body lifts, I just buy theirs, they come with front brackets and have been making them...

    Sunlit do you happen to know if a map sensor grommet is available? The truck isn't producing any codes but the gromet was in poor shape.

    Help with air box

    That's the pre-heat system. The heat from the manifold is pulled through the hose to the air intake where you see the flap. The flap should only be open upon initial start up and may be temperature controlled. Or the spring may expand when warmed and close the flap. Anyway the preheat is...

    Nevermind, I did some Google image searching and see that 245 is the wear part and 217 is the retainer that holds it down

    Thank you Sunlit. I've never put lifters in one with the roller lifters, is the 217 the only one that I'll need to replace? I see that 245 may be related to the job? I can't see well enough to tell what it's function is...

    loosing .5 gal of coolant in 24 miles?

    Well it is disassembled and waiting on parts. I will work on dissapating the water out of the oil after work in the evenings while I wait. Manifold was pretty bad corroded, forgot to take pics of it but I don't think it's re usable especially around the most forward water port on the even side...

    loosing .5 gal of coolant in 24 miles?

    Water leaked into the block after the pressurizer blew out the gasket or whatever it is that I heard inside the manifold. The oil is about 4 " past the full marking on the dipstick. I haven't started the engine since that happened. Need to know, what should I do? Can I drain the oil and re...

    Well the coolant system pressuring tool was the ticket. Found the leak running down behind the alternator. Pulled the alternator and it's the intake gaskets and/or intake corrosion + heater core hose quick connect leaking. By the time I pulled the alternator, I could hear the pressure leaking...

    It supposed had the fel pro perma-dry (I think that's what they are called) manifold gaskets installed. I didn't do it so I can't know for sure. Although I have seen in person some a lower Intake that actually corroded enough around the water port to break through and fill the engine with...
