Mine blew a month ago. Original hose
Did you blow a hose or a connector? I posted about this a years ago saying the connectors get brittle and I guess more trucks are getting up there in age now. Mine broke on me in the middle of downtown dallas..dumped all of my coolant almost immediately. Big steam show and talk about a hard part to find. I just wonder if anyone is having trouble with the hoses as mine have held up.

I went to go put on my 22's and saw this--minus the ratchet.

Puddle of trans fluid. I took the front splash shield off.

When the trans guy put the trans cooler line in for me, I guess he didn't route it the correct way using the factory hold down clips, so every time we'd turn the wheel left, the idler arm(I think that's it) would rub on the metal line, eventually rubbing right through it. I'm so happy I noticed it today and not on the road. I bought some fuel pressure line with some fuel line clamps. I then cut the cooler line(hard line)and fed the rubber fuel line in place. I used 1 foot of line, so hopefully that's plenty. Then I must've used 20 zip ties, because that ***** was still rubbing everywhere! I think I finally got it to where nothing is rubbing--I HOPE! I don't have pics of the finished job as it was getting dark and mosquitoes love spanish meat. Wish me luck guys.

That right there is the reason I do all my own work. There's nothing that pisses me off more than paying some outrageous price to have someone work on my rig, only to find out later they didn't do it right so it needs to be done again. And usually it happens way away from home so it's even more frustrating and expensive. Good thing you happened to be installing the wheels.

Wish I could "like" this 1,000 times. I totally agree with you. I didn't even get a chance to put the wheels on, messing with the trans line. Tomorrow hopefully.

I've found that shops don't like to use torque wrenches..warped rotors at 5k miles due to overnighted lugnuts.,I do make it a point to bring my loud ass tahoe thru they service drive and leave it there to get air filters since wix don't fit it..pisses off the svc manager..same dealer told me 0w20 oil will kill the engine even though the manual calls for that weight oil..they insist on 5w30..I literally have an out of town shop service it now..!uck dealerships.

Swapped to the 22's today. Gotta get used to them again.

I also fixed the dip on the bumper from the trans fluid mishap.

I also figured out a good way to mount the bowtie center caps.

Now I gotta figure out why when my ac is on high, it vibrates. I feel it through the gas pedal and steering wheel.

not the tahoe, but my regal. i did the wb wire through the egr on it already.

today was the regals turn. got my wb wired to hpt.

i did some re tuning after it was falling on its face about 90 mph at the track. pretty sure the zero'ed out pe time vs rpm folder let it go lean, some maf tuning at its holding its afr much better, then i installed the large meth jet for fun kinda, just wanted to see if it was to much or not, dont ya know the engine loves it.

no kr at 19 wot so i need to put it back to 21. af holds steady at 11.2 wot now.
