    TC Shudder, misdiagnosed as 4WD issue by myself

    Ok, thanks. It was snowing yesterday and I put my truck in 4auto and it was more like a constant rumbling at city and highway speeds. Put on 2wd and it went away.

    Hi, my front lower control bushings need changing. I know I need a the ball joint tool to change them but I don’t want to take the whole control arm off. Could there be enough play perhaps by take the bolts bolts off, pry it down and change the bushing? Anyone ever have that experience? I hate...

    Transmission selector cable

    I bought the bottom shifter cable last summer but I haven’t installed it yet. Picture hanging wire has been holding up till I tackle this. Btw, I tried those inserts and they didn’t work. I must have been doing something wrong.

    Transmission selector cable

    I tried to make that kit work, it loosened at a drive thru and burnt my forearm on the exhaust attaching the cable. I’d show a pic but it’s nasty and got infected.

    yes, smart ass. I was going to tell him I bought it $30 cheaper online from the dealer website than the price he gave me yesterday over the phone. But just walked out.

    Transmission selector cable

    Hi, my 14 Tahoe 6 speed trans linkage cable came loose from the plastic grommet, if you will. So I went to the dealership and bought part 20787608, the lower shift cable part, and the parts guy tells me I need to buy the the upper, too. I told him I’ll just take the bottom for now. He made a...

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    Thanks, how much should I be saving up? Last time I bought a transmission, not sure what brand, I paid 3600 for a new one with 36,000 warranty for my wife's 5 speed explorer from an independent shop. The new one went out a few weeks before the warranty expired so I really lucked out. But I'm...

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    I have a 2014 tahoe with the 6speed transmission. At times my transmission will act like it goes neutral under moderate to hard acceleration, I would have to let off the gas to snap back in. The first time I noticed it was on a 10 hour drive from MD to Nashville and my truck had about 25,000...

    Fed up with 5.3 Oil Consumption

    The reason I came up with 1/8 of a quart, is because on average I was putting in oil where the line is on the oil bottle and it seems to match up with the full line almost perfectly *about every 3 to 4 weeks*

    Fed up with 5.3 Oil Consumption

    I'm fed up with adding oil to my truck to keep it at level. I have a 2014 Tahoe that I bought new but did not know about the oil consumption til I started working on my own truck 2 years ago. Yes, I was guilty of not checking my oil before I fired my local Chevy service center and Firestone. I...

    Broken transmission pan bolt

    Thanks for the advice. So I drilled thru the bolt in the center but could not get the extractor to work. But since it's not leaking I'll leave it for now and tackle it when I do the next change. I'll back out the bolts tomorrow and torque. Thanks again to everyone. Brian

    Broken transmission pan bolt

    I dropped my trans pan and filter with a new gasket in my 2014 Tahoe Saturday. Luckily my flange exhaust bolts weren't rusted at all and I did it by the book by dropping the exhaust. So I couldn't find my torque wrench and I tried to wing it, and broke a bolt. Trust me, it didn't take much. I'm...

    2014 5.3 Front End Suspension Help

    I just did my transfer case, front and rear differentials(gasket for the rear, too) last week. When I did the front, I stuck my finger and I felt no oil. Also, not much came out. I checked it yesterday and it was full. I plan on doing my transmission fluid in 2 weeks.

    Hi, I decided to check back again was happy to get a couple of responses. I did end up buying and replacing my outer and inner tie rods, too. One of my wheel bearings is new, but I did have another on hand to change (it's still good). Just did't do it cause I was beat after doing all that work...
