    Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown

    Yep youre both correct. You can unplug to test. Unfortunately same result. So far unplugged high side and also replaced coolent temp sensor. Going to throw a new thermostat in just for the hell of it approaching summer. Some have fixed with a thermostat but I dont understand that theory when the...

    Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown

    08 Tahoe. Weird it started the other day while driving on the first really hot day out. I noticed the snowflake icon on my a/c flashing and my ac got warm. I got out the truck at my next destination with it running and the fans were on wide open. I checked coolant, good. A/C belt, good. Got out...

    Went Wheeling - Couple issues maybe connected. Traction control, 4WD etc.

    Motor mounts looks good. Got under it today. Next time I wheel I’m going to put it in 1 and see if it does it instead of D. When you said that I was kinda thinking this never happened till after i lifted it the other week. Maybe something to do with this and linkage. It’s raining today so I’ll...

    Went Wheeling - Couple issues maybe connected. Traction control, 4WD etc.

    I used to be a master mechanic back in the 90’s not saying I know much and here for your help because it’s strange. fluid does not smell burnt. Have a feeling TC light will be a speed sensor. Grabbing a bidirectional scanner. Rear diff I ruled out. Def seems trans related. But this is like no...

    Went Wheeling - Couple issues maybe connected. Traction control, 4WD etc.

    All 4 tires are brand new and same 35x12.50r20. This never happened with stock wheels in tires in the two months i drove prior but i never took offroad. The Tc like flickers everyonce in a while at wot at high speeds. What gets me more is the jumping out of gear happened again but in traffic. I...

    Went Wheeling - Couple issues maybe connected. Traction control, 4WD etc.

    Went wheeling to test out my newly lifted 08 tahoe BP. Its got a G80 rear and everything was going well until I was in 2wd in a sandy area I went to accelerate and it seemed to kick out of gear. Well thats what it felt like the RPM's shot up with zero resistance like you thru it in neutral with...

    Airing down F load MT Tires how much is safe?

    I was more worried about them being 12 ply and 3ply sidewall. I ran them at 65 to start no full contact patch. Then at 58 off road and slipped on everything not mud. At 48 now and gotta say the drive so far is the best yet and get good contact patch while DD. These f load are stiff and made for...

    Airing down F load MT Tires how much is safe?

    I’m running the Hercules TIS TT1 and it’s an F load tire. My truck came with max trailering package and I realize these tires far exceed my load use. They say max pressure 80 psi https://tiswheels.com/tt1/ https://www.herculestire.com/treads/tis-tt1/ How much can I safely air down when...

    Service tire monitor on, but my model came with no sensors?

    I have a Border Patrol 08 had stock 16” steeliest and no sensors. I swapped to 35’s and have been driving for 3 weeks and today boom service tire monitor system is on dash. Any reason for this to come in if you don’t have sensors? Well and are supposed to not have sensors.

    What is a direct swap for my 08 5.3 LMG?

    Turns out I got luckier than I thought. Ran my RPO codes I got 4.10's. Truck is on the ground jamming.

    What is a direct swap for my 08 5.3 LMG?

    So 3.73's are doing the 35's justice for now. I am going to get them done. I found 2 different L92 6.0L for $850 at the yard. I may snag one. What else is needed accessory wise, ecu etc?

    08 Border Patrol Tahoe - Do these come with different sway bars?

    That photo actually says alot. My bar now is similar to the one on the left. But just enough difference in the hump and mounting area. I believe the front sway on the right would work no issue. Thats the style I'm after when I go to the yard this weekend. I'm just surprised to hear RC never run...

    Great catch. That photo has the bracket loose so no tension clamping the mount together yet. The mount is just hanging.

    Sway bar orientation during install

    Yeh pretty sure the PPV or BP has a different bar fitted by Baja Fabrication. Thats what was on my springs and other suspension components with Procomp shocks. I'm heading to a Junkyard here in LA this weekend and plan to grab a regular sway bar. Then I should be able to install the kickers...
