2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

Jeeps don't do burnouts so I have no interest. I used to do more offroading when I lived up north but since Florida is either sand or mud I keep out of the mud and only go sand blasting occasionally.

I really don't remember the part number but I can look. It will fit all 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0s. I like that it its longer so theres more to grab onto when removing.

I am an Amazon member so if I can get a case price for mine I am gonna do it. Thanks.

When I lived in Missouri we had Mud Runs all the time. Always took my wife with me in the passenger seat. She loved it more than I did.

It was almost a year ago I found that deal not sure if theres still a good deal on them. I love Amazon

Also bought some stainless braided brake lines from a member last night. Sometime soon I'll throw those on and bleed the brakes. Its already got a stop tech kit front and rear as well as hydro boost which is the single best upgrade for any GMT800 IMHO.

There is a thread here about the swap from vacuum boost to hydro-boost on the GMT800. It is recent too. Was that you or another member. At 67 I need reminding sometimes.
Thanks for the filter number. I thought that was it but wanted to be sure.

No it wasn't me this one had it when I bought it but I did it to my silverado. Seriously massive improvement! The tahoes pedal seems real squishy though so I think it needs a good bleed. Stops fine when you finally get the pressure applied but I'm pretty certain theres either air in the lines or the rubber hoses and flexing bad.

How old is the fluid? Power steering builds a lot of heat and that fluid can break down before you know it. Plus it is doing 2 systems now instead of just the one. How old are the pads? Good quality ceramic pads? It would be a very rare thing for air to be in there after even just 2-3 days of normal driving. That air gets cycled to the top of reservoir pretty quickly. If it is running hot and starts to aerate then that could be a source as well. P/S cooler in good condition?

So the powersteering fluid still stays separate to the PS system even with hydroboost. It just sends the booster pressure and then it routes back to the PS reservoir. The brake fluid could be ancient I'm not sure. It looks very dark and probably needs replacement.

I guess when I said I changed all fluids in my original post I didn't mean for that to include brake or clutch fluids. As those are more than a 1 person job.
