    2001 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 Engine knock - help to identify

    If it’s got a leaking injector and leaked enough it could’ve hydrolocked one of the cylinders. If it had already fired on another cylinder before the piston in the cylinder with a leaky injector came up then it would definitely be enough to force the crank around resulting in a bent rod. Seen it...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That’s how I’m trying to look at it. Planned on buying a junk core and building it myself as a backup but the truck decided to create the junk core for me

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    in the middle of replacing the trans after a week of owning it. Knew what I was getting into when I bought it, but damn didn’t think it would be this quick lol

    Dome light issue

    I know there are a few threads on dome lights but from what I can find their issues are they either stay on all the time or nothing works at all, can’t find anything similar to my issue. When I open the door my front dome lights and front door courtesy lamps don’t come on. The rear cargo dome...

    Rear end noise

    Gets louder the longer you drive and goes with my speed. Also gets louder when I hit the brakes which would make you think brake pads but they are fine. That’s why I’m lost with what to do.

    Rear end noise

    I forgot to mention in the op that I checked the backing plate, I’ll definitely try cleaning the rotor and mating surface. Should also mention the noise is louder while making left turns and almost nonexistent around right turns.

    Rear end noise

    Definitely not parking shoes since they aren’t even on right now. I’ll try to get a video up soon.

    Rear end noise

    sorry if this is in the wrong section I didn’t know where else to put it. I have a scraping noise almost like a completely worn brake pad scraping on the rotor but that’s not the case. It’s been happening for a while, doesn’t get better or worse. Pads are good and so are rotors. I took off the...

    Tie Rods

    Not too much, I measured the old ones that came off and set the new ones to the same measurement and it was fairly close. I only did it because I need new UCAs, which I will hopefully be able to get in the next few weeks, then I’ll take it to get a proper alignment.

    Tie Rods

    Detroit axle had 4.3/5 stars from 60 reviews so I ordered them and they came in today. They looked and felt good so I threw them on, aligned it in my driveway and they feel awesome. They were $35 so we’ll see how long this lasts.

    Tie Rods

    Well I ended up going with Detroit axle. Got them today and they looked and felt good so I threw em on. Don’t need to calculate in an alignment, all you need is some rope and 2 sturdy objects and do it in your driveway. Looked it up on YouTube so I gave it a try and alignment is damn near perfect.

    Tie Rods

    I understand Moog is top quality, but as I stated in my original post I cannot afford them at this time.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    For inner and outer on both sides it would run me about $120, but with no job and not knowing when I’ll get one I’d like to keep as much money in my bank for emergencies. Once I get a job I’m getting a new truck so longevity is not too much of a concern. Just don’t want one that’s going to shear...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I made a thread on this but I figured I’d get a quicker response here. One tie rod has some play so I need new ones but I’m on a budget so Moog is out of the question because I just graduated college and have no job yet. Anyone have experience with AcDelco advantage series, Mevotech, or Detroit...
