    Vibration/Front End Issues with RCX 2-3" Lift...

    Well, I took my left output shaft out the other day. found a piece of metal just sitting right behind the output shaft (don't know what it was). I replaced that outer bearing and the seal, put it all back together but it still wobbles. Not as bad, but it's still there. It kicks into 4wd just...

    Vibration/Front End Issues with RCX 2-3" Lift...

    Nice 2-door rig man! That lift looks great on it. Hope you figure out your problem soon. I should be tearing into mine in a few hours. If I come across anything groundbreaking, I'll let you know. :D

    Vibration/Front End Issues with RCX 2-3" Lift...

    Pretty sure the diff isn't moving around. The other side fine, nice and tight. How do you suggest to remove the output shaft bearing? Slide hammer/bearing attachment?

    Vibration/Front End Issues with RCX 2-3" Lift...

    Found out yesterday that the vibration problem on my front drivers side is caused by the output shaft coming from the differential. I can grab the flange that the CV half-shaft bolts to and wobble it around a good 1/2" in every direction. Don't know what caused it, or if it's even fixable...

    The OFFICIAL 2015 Tahoe unveiling thread

    Had two OBS's that actually felt like trucks. Got my NBS, doesn't feel like much of a truck at all. Then the NNBS's came out, still trying to not hate them. Now this crap? If none of the sheet metal or lighting fixtures matches up with the new pick ups, then these 2015's aren't a truck at all...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Hey, had a chance to log in and update everybody. The guy that hit us was drunk, didn't have insurance, and was driving his gf's car (that didn't have insurance). Turns out, my wife use to work with his gf. Small world, huh? The wreck ripped his left arm off and I was told he almost died...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Thanks guys. I just learned the other guys name, he's 41 and in serious condition. They still don't know if he has insurance or not, and I haven't heard if he was drunk or not. But by the way he was driving, I would think so. The wreck was on Highway K, just south of Racine. About 4...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    You bet I am! I would hate to think of what would've happened if we had been in anything else. That truck took a hell of a hit from the front. I loved Tahoes before, but now I owe my life to them....

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Well, my family and I were just in a head on collision in the "new" Tahoe. Its totalled. We were on our way to my parents to swim and someone was coming around a sharp corner (notorious for drunks), we watched him lose control and overcorrect and hit on my front drivers side. We are mostly...

    Magnaflow Catalytic Converter installation?

    Just bought a '99 LT 4-Door Tahoe with a 5.7L and had the SES light come on. Ran 4 catalyst system codes, so I checked underneath.... As I thought, a previous owner had cut the cats off and welded in straight pipe. The O2 sensors are still there, but I'm sure they are no good. Yesterday, I...

    DexCool - VERY IMPORTANT

    Had dexcool problems with a 2001 blazer with the 4.3L vortec. They used plastic intake manifold gaskets in the 3.4L and 4.3L engines. Dexcool contains a chemical closely related to a plasticiser, which will start to break down the IMGs after about 90,000 miles. This will lead to a number of...

    R.I.P. 1997 Chevy Tahoe Joplin Tornado

    I feel your pain, man. My 1997 LT Tahoe was destroyed as well. I lived a few blocks west of the high school at 22nd and Kentucky. Everything we had burnt. I'm very glad you and your family are alright. It will get better....eventually. Hang in there!

    Factory Installed Remote Locks

    You can also jump the #4 slot to the #8 slot on the OBDII port with a paper clip. If your locks cycle, then you have keyless entry. After this, you can then press and hold the "Lock" and "Unlock" button on the key fob at the same time to program the remote. The locks will cycle again and...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    thanks, felixgun and sparg93! Sad to say, but the "emerald" (Aqua Seafoam Green) Tahoe is nothing but parts now. After I strip off everything useful, its probably going to scrap....only have enough time and money for one 'Hoe, unfortunately.

    Replacing Blower Motor Resistor

    Since my last post, I have replaced the blower control switch, which solved my problem of the blower running constantly. Sorry for not posting sooner. O'reilly's Part #: S15002 Autozone's Part #: SW1464 You basically just take off the instrument panel bezel, then take the AC/Heater...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Lol. Sorry, no chop top or convertible 'Hoes for me. Just gonna use it for parts. I think I might fix up the motor & trans real strong and drop them in the new truck someday. Besides, the wife won't let me have too many projects at once...and I'm saving my next one for a CUCV. :) Glad...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Thanks for the kind words... Yes! after we pulled the neighbors roof off the passengers side, demolished the ignition (keys burnt in the fire), and put a charged battery in it, she fired right up! Drove 20 miles south to my parents house with no problem. My dad was following me in his Ford...

    Tornado Victim: RIP '97 LT

    Haven't posted in a while, just wanted to lay my 1997 Tahoe LT (179,xxx) to rest with the only people that would care. She held up pretty good against 300+ MPH winds, although I believe my house took the brunt of wind. My family and I are okay, we hid under the stairwell, luckily the only...
