    Transmission life on the early Hoes?

    You are absolutely right again and if the person can do these things himself, he should do it and if he cannot do it himself, but has the money to go to a workshop, he should do it. However, I keep observing that many people refrain from servicing their transmission, because it is too...

    Transmission life on the early Hoes?

    You are right, but, I don't think the oil pan needs to be removed every oil change. The filter in an automatic transmission is only there to catch coarse chunks that arise somewhere. The metallic abrasion ends up on the magnet anyway and the layman doesn't see the status of wear from the mud...

    Bad crunchy chain slapping sound on occasion

    I would check the wheel bearing hubs. When my died i had also sometimes a horrible noise, but mostly not. Reason was that the debris of a damaged role sometimes get in a position where it makes noise.

    Transmission life on the early Hoes?

    That is the most important. It is very easy to flush the transmission. You don't need to go unter the car, every layman can do that, you need no special tools. You do not need to change the filter. The filter in a transmission is more for bigger debris and will never be clogged. Don't get me...

    And check your allignement. Especially the caster and toe. If the caster on right an left side is severe different, your toe will change in different amounts, according to steering ankle, what will result in unstable driving.

    Who's the ass that did this??

    hopefully they drive him to mexico, open the tailgate, give him a kick in the ass and leave him on the road.

    Used engine flush, now rear main seal leaking.

    With oil pan gaskets, it sometimes helps to simply tighten the screws a little. Of course, be careful not to overdo the torque and destroy the threads. Otherwise changing the oil pan gasket is no magic and the O-ring of the oil pump pipe can be changed directly in the process, which is a weak...

    Lifter Tick on New Engine

    But seriously. A ticking that only goes away, when the engine has reached operating temperature, does not sound like a ticking of the hydraulic lifters. Maybe you should make a video of it and upload it to Youtube and post it here, so we can listen to it.

    Lifter Tick on New Engine

    However, loose spark plugs often don't tick for long, preferring to say goodbye with a loud bang through the wheel house paneling and then sticking it the door of the car next to you, at the traffic light.. :cool: Good if it's not a gang member, or the police..

    New user and new to Tahoe Ownership / Very reactive steering

    Check the wear of the steering components and then make an allignement. If the caster and/or toe is out of specs, you can have this behavier.

    UPDATED* Carbon in Purge Valve = just do extra PM?

    Check if your vent valve opens when you turn off the ignition. This is responsible for allowing the air to escape when you fill your tank with petrol if it happens again.

    2002 Suburban Brake Issues after part replacements

    Are you sure you installed the front caliper correctly? They are a "floating" construction and must move freely on their gliders. I would disassemble the front calipers and see if the pistons are moving when you break, then see if the calipers are free to move... If your wheel is removed and...

    High FT diagnostics with sprays

    That's no problem at all, if you use this spray to detect a vacuum leak and spray it into the throttle valve at the front, the gas is so fast in the engine, that it can't affect the plastic parts at all. If you clean the plastic parts with it, spray it and rub it with a rag, that's a problem...

    2003 Chevy Tahoe- Transmission Fluid Change

    The oil dipstick must be the same, because, as you can see in the post from @rockola1971 on page 3, it doesn’t matter, how deep the oil pan is, because the oil dipstick shows the oil level of the oil, not the quantity. In a larger, or better deeper oil pan, more oil fits, but the oil level...

    Rear end oil change

    There are two possibilities. In the glove compartment is a sticker, where you can see the equipment features codes, there is also a code somewhere for the differential, e.g. g80. I don't know exactly which ones these are for the other differenzials, but someone here can definitely tell you. The...

    Brake booster replacement; brake pedal slow to return

    There is something wrong. You have the wrong brake booster, or the brake booster is missing these parts. Are you sure that is the right part?

    Brake booster replacement; brake pedal slow to return

    Maybe the brake booster needs to be bled? I assume you have the hydro boost system that works with hydraulic pressure. If you can't bleed the brake booster, I would loosen the screws again, brake a few times and then tighten the screws again. Maybe it's just a little tension? If you don't...

    Rear end oil change

    The limited slip additive is important for the clutch in the differential, if a certain type of locking differential is installed there. The locking differential also has normal gears and bearings like a normal differential. If the Limited Slip additive does not interfere with these gears and...
