    Budgeting for a paint job

    First thing I do when looking at a used car is evidence of a ****** paint job because that’s usually hiding something. Maaco has ruined a lot of used cars because once they get overspray on everything because they don’t believe in removing trim the car is pretty much shot. It doesn’t matter if...

    '02 Tahoe radio recommendations?

    You won’t be sorry, there’s so many options for a great head unit. I’ve always had good luck with Pioneer. I opted to go with one that has wireless CarPlay and Android Auto so I don’t have to take my phone out of my pocket but the models that have the wireless are their more expensive models. So...

    '02 Tahoe radio recommendations?

    I would do the double din conversion, it’s easy and you end up with a way bigger screen and more radio options. No matter what head unit you end up with, the harness and steering wheel control interface cost a hundred alone iirc. I did a DD conversion, it was worth it.

    Oil on spark plugs - misfiring p0300

    And yes I am willing to help of course. If you need, we can meet up. But I think you’ll really enjoy a Tech2 of your own!

    Oil on spark plugs - misfiring p0300

    I bought mine off eBay from a vendor that no longer sells them but there are others. Here’s one with 100% positive feedback. Edit: you might get it in time for Christmas but they come from China...

    PM on exhaust manifold bolts?

    It doesn’t say anything about high temp. It says you can use it on spark plugs but you can use any anti seize on plugs. I mean, there are several high temp ones- Permatex copper will withstand 1800 degrees so I’m pretty sure it will do. There’s several more specifically rated for extreme heat.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I’m fine with the way I do it, you’re fine with the way you do. No need to argue. You seem to worry a lot more than I do, I don’t do all the “what ifs” anymore that shit drives me crazy. I’m 64 and I’ve learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t. I have my shit dialed in, if a guy...

    Meh. 30 minutes for a flat from a nice shiny AAA truck is worth it for me. Those “ included” type of roadside assistance I wouldn’t bother with, they’re meant for selling cars not servicing customers.

    That’s what AAA Plus is for. At $100 per year, I can get a tow up to 300 miles, 3x a year. I’m not changing a tire on the side of a highway, that’s a death wish anymore. They just tow me home if I ever have that problem. I just tell ‘em I have no spare, because I don’t carry one. Neither do...

    I had a shop do a flow test on the cats, it didn’t cost much. There are other ways I’ve heard of.

    Oil on spark plugs - misfiring p0300

    I had a lot of misfires and stuttering on hard acceleration and it got worse and worse. It was plugged cats, the engine couldn’t breathe so it was coughing and choking. It got worse over time, and was worse when it was hot. Once the exhaust cooled it would be fine until it warmed up. Just...

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

    Finally sent the oil sample into Blackstone for The Beast. She just gets hard short city trips nowadays, I’m rough on the old girl. It took well over a year to roll 3000 miles though. At 170k she still looks great and no mechanical issues in the last year or two. I don’t think I’ll ever get...

    You can swap a back wheel to the front and put the spare on the back but it’s a PIA. I’d need a 22” spare regardless and I haven’t bought one so I use AAA Plus and a plug kit. I ain’t sellin my brakes son. I got too much powah for anything less than what I’m running. :yaoface2:

    Most people would sell their wheels and find a set that fit their new BBK but if your priorities are all screwed up then there you are. ;) :rolleyes::p

    Are you sure it’s not torque converter shudder? What trans do you have? I know the 6l80’s have that issue.

    I know from my experience you can measure all you want and ask as many questions as you want and you’ll never know until you physically bolt up a caliper and try a wheel. Unless somebody else has the exact same wheel and caliper combo on the same platform as your truck. I thought I was going to...

    Well...it says it MAY fit 17 inch wheels but they do offer a diagram to help you determine, did you look at that? https://www.wilwood.com/Images/BrakeKits/WCD_Drawings/WCD_dwg-Large/ds1522_wcd-lg.jpg

    Rear Glass Defroster Cord

    Frost Fighter or you’ll be fighting it. It’s the only electrically conductive epoxy made afaik and the stuff will repair even the most damaged solder pad area that no other method will. I tried the other methods and they all failed sooner or later. Frost Fighter has been working for years on mine.

    Rear Glass Defroster Cord

    Frostfighter is a win. Permatex not so much, it’s more hit or miss. I won’t use anything other than FF.

    PM on exhaust manifold bolts?

    I’ve removed every one that weren’t already broken, then removed whatever broken pieces in the heads that I could, and replaced them with ARP on both my trucks. At least there won’t be any MORE broken ones.

    Yukon made it 1400 miles before breaking down again, it's cursed.

    This^^^. I just did mine after the compressor failed and sent metal shards throughout the system all the way to the rear. If you replace them before the compressor breaks internally then it’s not bad but once it shreds itself it’s a real PIA. I almost deleted the rear after finding out I needed...

    That’s a 4 banger item. There’s no plug tubes on any v8 ever made with the possible exception of a Chrysler hemi.
