    Here's my (very) Low Budget DIY Carpet Replacement on a 97 Chevy Tahoe LT 4 Door

    This 1997 Chevy Tahoe K1500 Suburban LT four-door was left outside for a very long time (over a year) and had a leak when I bought it. The carpets were wet and obviously ruined. The first thing I did was remove the back seats and back carpet. I have driven this vehicle for almost 2 years without...

    AC Not Cold Compressor Cycling on/off in my 1997 Chevy Tahoe V8 5.7L - can I test a high pressure switch?

    My 1997 Chevy Tahoe V8 5.7L air conditioning system blows air but it's not cold air. So last year I stupidly bought one of those AC pro recharge canisters from Walmart and gave it some freon. It seems to fix the problem and it blew cold. Now a year later it's not blowing cold again. It's not...

    Where is this power steering leak on my 97 Tahoe 5.7L coming from? (Video)

    I have a very aggressive and sudden power steering leak. I filled it back up and power steering was restored! I drove down the street and back (<5 min) and it all leaked out again. No power steering again. I can see where it's dripping down but it's difficult to see where it's emanating from...

    97 Tahoe 5.7 V8 Gross Dirt / Mud / Residue in coolant

    I know many people don't like StopLeak as a solution for coolant leaks, but I had a difficult-to-locate leak and in laziness and desperation, I used the product. It seemed to work great at first, the coolant stopped disappearing. I figured the leak was plugged. The engine ran great for a month...

    Should I just drive off a cliff or is this fixable?

    This is a 1997 Tahoe Suburban four-door 5.7 L V8. I'm pretty sure it's not low transmission fluid because it was recently topped off. If I drive for a long time on the highway and then come to a complete stop, then start to accelerate again, there is a loud clunk. Almost like being rear-ended...

    1997 Tahoe 4D, Hot air coming into the cabin through the steering column! Rubber boot failing!

    In my 1997 Tahoe LT 4 door, the steering shaft goes out the cabin and into the engine bay through a hole in the firewall, underneath the driver's side dashboard. There is supposed to be a rubber boot or "rubber grommet" on the engine side which creates a seal at this transition. Mine became...
