    Power Steering Flush & Seafoam Trans Tune

    Anyone use this stuff to flush their power steering? I've got a 99 Tahoe with 124k miles on it and need to flush the power steering. How do I do this? I'd like to replace it with the royal purple stuff.

    Helper Spring/Add-a-leaf advice

    Engine Noise trouble. Thoughts?

    Several months ago I had some warranty work done at the dealership to fix a rear main seal leak. As part of the service, they replaced the oil, except with dinosaur instead of the Mobil 1 - 10w-30 that I have been using since 60,000 (120,000 currently on the truck). Immediately after I picked it...

    99 Tahoe Brake Upgrade Advice Needed

    I ended up going with the R1Concepts Premium slotted and Hawk HPS pads, and goodridge ss lines. I'll let you know the results when I get them mounted over spring break next week. Have to wait for R1 to send me a new rotor anyway because one of them had a small gouge in the inner corner (hub out)...

    Brake Fluid

    why don't the 3/4ton calipers work on the 4x4s? I'm interested in putting some on my hoe. Also, talked to the dealer today, DOT 4 is a NO-GO. Apparently the ABS system will freak out and require scan tool use to properly flush it/calm it down.

    Don't want to do blocks. I think they're ghetto and don't like axle wrap. Considering an add a lear, but I'm leaning toward a helper spring. Any suggestions on a specific model. Heard that helwig makes good stuff, but which one?
