    Heater Hose Blew Out

    I have an 02 tahoe 5.3 4x4. She has 300,000 miles and still passes Cali. Smog. No ticks or motor sounds whatsoever. However!! In the last 6 weeks my heater core started leaking, my ac compressor failed and my blower motor died. The heater core is the worst project imaginable. So after pricing...

    STUCK ON THE ROAD- 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 6.0

    The previous owner removed the parking brake? How long ago was that? And why would he do that? Did he remove the cable? Or the drum too? Sounds like your parking brake is grabbing due to the reason he removed it.

    No pressure in cooling system

    Dont taste it, that's reckless. Look under the throttle body, there are two small coolant lines in and out that have a tendency to leak under pressure.

    No pressure in cooling system

    Dont taste it. E.C. is poison and causes organ damage. Now obviously a tip of your finger probably isn't going to make a difference. But it's still poison and a bad habbit.

    Time To Rebuild

    Ive got 352,000 on my 02, curious if yours is burning oil or failing smog? Mine still passes smog here in Calif. And im not burning oil. But compared to my girlfriends 6.0 yukon it feels like a prius. So I might go ahead and do it. Any thoughts out there.

    Talk me out of it or into it

    Ive got 352,000 on my 2002 Tahoe. I drive nice and put up with the squeeks and rattles. Mechanically the air ride went out 2 years ago so i swapped it for conventional.

    ABS to conventional brake conversion.

    Im looking to streamline my rig for the environment I live in. That means getting rid of all unnecc. Systems for reliability reasons. A simple vac. Assist braking system works great on my ram, 4runner and F250. It'll be fine on the Hoe. My intent is to create a lighter less fragile truck for pre...

    ABS to conventional brake conversion.

    Too many moving parts. I use my Tahoe on desert roads constantly in So. Cal. My ABS is always a problem. Now I know I can just pull the fuse, but why drag around all that hardware if im not using it. Ive already gone conventional on the suspension, and removed all the old hardware.

    Fuel and oil additives

    I have never followed an oil change regimen, mostly between 5 and 8 thousnd miles i'll change it.

    Engine shut off while driving after Refueling

    Id put a bottle of heet in that tank. As a habit, I dump one in once a month. And defntly keep a 1/4 tank at all times. The fuel is actually what lubricates the in tank fuel pumps. I personally keep my rigs half full at all times.
