    Tall Gears = Offroad Tears

    Hey guys, I've just got to regear my new OBS... 3.42 for something that never sees over 50mph is just painful. My other 96 has a s.a.s. and being familiar with the (solid) axle setup it was a sinch to put gears in. However, never running into the issue of keeping the IFS Diff more or less...

    99 Yukon intermittently dies an sometimes hard starting

    Does the sensor work now? If it does do you really want to spend more $$ on a second one? All I hear is "Oh, delco or no go" but honestly my Crank sensor and TPS are made from 100% Chinesium and work just fine. (side note) Ive ran into this issue as well Crank sensor solved it after a week of...

    1995 Tahoe cat back exhaust fitting issue?

    Ive NEVER seen a proper exhaust shop use a clamp like that? Why they didn't just weld up a 2 bolt flange is beyond me as opposed to welding a 6$ reducer to the flange face. If i saw that unaware of your story id assume you had some guy of craigslist do it in exchange for a 12pack.

    95 Tahoe 4x4, 5.7l, tranny removal issue

    hmm, ill guess all the torq converter bolts are out, also we will assume the T-case isnt making contact with the rear cross member. My advice pull the transfer case off its 5 or 6 bolts and will save you time if you're doing this all with jacks. if you hoist the trans up mid pan with the...

    IDLING ROUGH/ACCELERATION MISS

    Lol, I don't think it's an intake or spider issue, let's look at the basics. Does it prime and maintain fuel pressure (good fuel pressure) how low was the tank? It's possible to burn up a FP on a dry tank but burnt up isn't maintaining solid pressure but a plugged fuel filter will drop this...

    Moisture=Money 5.7 no start

    Problem solved! Its cold as heck out here but stopped raining and humidity is low. So I went out gave her a quick pep talk and she fired right up! F' yeah boys, so its either the coil or cap both are cheap and will hopefully remedy the issue but Im guaranteed its not a fuel thing so happy day.

    Altho I admire your courage and overall tenacity towards doing a manly man task and breaking the dreaded millennial mold (being 29 myself) as a machinist surely you have not overlooked the giant logistics challenge that goes into a swap i.e. Tools, time so on. But let me sum up your sentence you...

    Moisture=Money 5.7 no start

    Yeah, I've got to test both sensors while rotating the engine by hand...But im narrowed down and both are under 100$ I just thought working on other makes when either sensors go the engine will start/backfire/misfire. I come to the idea these l31 engines use the CMP and CPS work in sequence to...

    Moisture=Money 5.7 no start

    The maint/repair history is good religious maint actually but nothing was done that stood out. The guy stopped driving because his eyesight was failing he is 70 but original owner. You can tell nothing was fiddled with. I did a comp check and oil press check when i got it home and for 207k its...

    Moisture=Money 5.7 no start

    Thanks, The startup feels like no fuel or spark scenario, It just cranks but does not hit, no backfire nada out of 5 or 6 attempts spaced out with ample fiddling It felt like it hit on a cyl or two (barely a spudder) but nothing after and to date.

    5 different mechanics, $4,000 in parts, still no answer..

    A lot of guys seem to think its the ring and pinion. Its possible it was installed and shimmed incorrectly however, I'm curious and perhaps you can help me here so it ONLY makes this noise while in gear and moving NOT while in park and creeping through the rpm's also, have you noticed does the...
