    Anyone with a Champion radiator and using Dexcool?

    I ordered a 3 row aluminum radiator from Champion radiators. To my surprise after getting the rad yesterday, outside on the box it says to only use "Ethyl glycol "The green stuff" in regards to coolant choice. Well I use use Dexcool (with no issues). I contacted Champion about this and just got...

    Will be doing the '19-'21 Big brake upgrade on my '00 Tahoe.

    Hello all. Just got my Brake caliper and pads for the big brake upgrade. Hopefully this coming weekend I can get started on it (still waiting on rotors).

    Just completed my E-fan swap on my `00 Tahoe. Took about 6 hours from start to finish (I'm in AZ so it's stupid hot in the garage!) I decided to go with the e-fan control box from www.autocoolguy.com instead of the path most have taken doing the flash/programming route. I been hearing about...

    Rear end rebuild spider gear question

    My spider gears finally blew out a few days ago on my `00 Tahoe LS. Figured I order replacement and do a rebuild myself. I got the old gears out, the housing cleaned in preparation for my replacements. Well I got my replacement in (Yukon 8.6) and for the life of me I cannot get the spiders in. I...

    Door hard to close after weatherstrip install.

    Hello all. I purchased weather stripping from LMC trucks about a week ago for my `00 Tahoe. After installing them on my front driver side door, my door will no longer close unless I slam the door extremely hard. Is this normal and in time the WS will give some or is it a quality issue? If...

    Just replaced my heater core on my `00 Tahoe Yesterday and all I can say is that whomever I pissed off in my past life I am sorry! Anyway I ran across this video last week showing a mechanic and how he did a heater core swap out that did not look like a disaster area vs other videos I seen...

    Spare tire, size upgrade.

    I will be looking at some rims soon (no more than 18" my OE's are 16's). With that said I guess I will need to upgrade my spare as well. I was wondering what is the largest tire I can get under my 2000 Tahoe 4x4 and what do you guys/gals do when you run larger tires (20's and up) that you cannot...

    EVAP canister and rough idle?

    I know this just may be a coincidence but I started getting a rough idle during cold starts which started smoothing out after my Tahoe warms up. Nothing major, no stalling or anything but every now and again my Tahoe will throw a lean code for both banks as well. This is a rebuilt engine with...

    E brake light will not come on when ebrake peddle is depressed.

    As the title states. When the e brake is depressed the ebrake light does not come on. So here is a few things I narrowed down. 1. When the ignition is in the key on no crank. All warning and info lights will illuminate. (including ebrake light) 2. When the key is in the "key on engine running"...

    Question about GM 19168825 bypass kit install.

    Morning all! I ordered the bypass actuator kit for my 2000 Tahoe power steering pump as my power assist mounted on the backside of the pump is leaking pretty bad. I was wondering. Can I install this thing without pulling out the PS? If so how challenging is it? Thanks!

    New LED taillights install.

    I purchased some updated lights for my 2000 Tahoe from Amazon. I really do love these lights. I have always stayed away from LED lights because of the look. I never found anything that caught my attention until I found these! I have both day and night shots but the poor quality of these photos...

    2000 Tahoe PS pump with variable assist module(?) leaking.

    My 2000 Tahoe 5.3 with the variable assist is leaking on the back of the PS pump. I heard that there was a bypass fix for this but it seems that this "fix" is only up to year 1999. I checked the comment section on Amazon in regards to the bypass kit, talked to folks at 1AAuto and other auto...
