    Recommendations for a good power steering pump

    Hello everyone, I replaced my power steering pump with a Cardone unit from RockAuto, which was loud out of the box. Returning that, but I need to know what’s a good brand of power steering pump for these trucks. I don’t want to have to do this job a third time. I have an 05 Tahoe 4.8 4x4, with...

    GMT800 door badges

    Hey all, Anyone know which years/trims of GMT800 Tahoes had the “Tahoe” badge on the front door? Also which years had the LS badge behind the back doors? My 05 LS has neither of these and I wanted to know if that’s a model year thing or if they were removed at some point.

    Exhaust manifold clamps

    Hello, I have a 2005 Tahoe with a 4.8. I noticed I’ve got several manifold bolts that have broken, the furthest rear on both sides as well as the front one on the passenger side. I’m specifically looking at doing the front pass one first because it’s easiest to get to and I can see some soot...

    Head gasket question/advice (05 Tahoe 4.8)

    Hey all, I need advice for the specific situation I’m in. This might be a bit long so I apologize for that. I have a 2005 Tahoe with a 4.8 and 162k. I’ve had the truck for about 3 years but it was my mom’s before that since about 08. Anyway, before I owned it (around 2017 and about 120k) there...
