    Motor Oil Brand vs Consumption?

    After switching brands of synthetic motor oil a couple changes ago I am noticing higher consumption. I'd think it was a coincidence but it happened on both of our cars. The Tahoe never seems to use a noticeable amount between 5000-6000 intervals but needed about 3/4 quart this time around. The...

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    So due to time constraints and needing the truck on the road quickly I had the local shop that I trust swap out the leaking rtv seal with a GM branded fiber type gasket, no rtv. The mechanic was less than thrilled about having to remove the rtv from the 4 previous times of different shops...

    Rear Axle Brake Tubing Anchor Clips?

    The metal brackets securing my rear axle crossover brake tubing have seen better days with winter chemicals taking their toll. The brackets each have one bolt to the axle housing and seem to have wrapped around the brake tubing. I am having some difficulty finding the part number for the anchor...

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    My fill plug has a flange with a rubber seal that both overlap the face of the cover so I don't ever forsee the plug leaking. I recall it is a GM replacement cover.

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    GM parts sites telling me it's not a fit for my Tahoe. Not for limited slip differential? Could they be referring to the Locker? One goes on to note: Genuine: SKU: 15860607 Positions: Rear Other Names: Cover Gasket Description: Express, savana. Silverado, sierra. 8.6 ring gear. 10-bolt...

    Does any use a Fumoto oil pan drain valve?

    Dos the projection of the threaded portion cause dirty oil to stay in the pan when draining?

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    Is there a metal/rubber one for an 8.5" 10 bolt? My GM paper one is 15807693, looks different than yours.

    Rear quarter panel body damage question..

    Agree that totaling is always a threat when insurance is involved. We had someone run a stop sign and clip our Tahoe from wheel to wheel and everything between. I was sweating the talk of "total" loss because we couldn't buy anything for the number that was floating around. The trick to...

    Daytime Running Light Bulb Replacement '08 Tahoe Z71?

    OK, it wasn't as hard as I expected. I just pulled the bumper cover out only as much needed to access the side bolts on the headlight housings. A bit of squeezing a hand in behind the slightly moved headlight housings and I could reach the bulbs. No credit be given to automotive Engineers in...

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    Where are the rubber gaskets found? The GM oem that I bought appears to be thick paper, perhaps impregnated with something. The original one, that looks like the oem that I recently bought, lasted 90,000 miles and the rtv (no gasket) that the shop used to replace it about 3,500 miles. When I...

    Differential Cover Gasket/Sealer?

    Do you use RTV in addition to the gasket on the differential cover? My cover had just rtv after a shop worked on the differential and it's leaking about a year out, but I have an oem gasket to use that is hopefully a better solution. So, add rtv on the gasket faces or not?

    Brake pads

    To continue, VIN search on GM (not AC Delco) parts dealers that all seem to link to the same database, brings up one choice of pads and you noted but they are "discontinued" without substitution reference.

    Looking for Carpet Dye Feedback

    I can't say that I have the body strength to be wrestling with the seats anymore. The truck is 15 years old and primarily a dog hauler/hiking vehicle so I am not looking at a restoration level project. More of a spot repair intended.

    Please don't laugh... Quick Fix for a Oil Pan / Timing Cover oil leak

    I had a Jeep Cherokee that had leaky valve covers and at the back of the intake manifold before it had very many miles. Valve covers had no real gaskets, just rtv. Napa had real gaskets so that was easy enough to take care of the right way. The back joint of the intake (to the block) was another...

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    Thanks for the input guys. It's been an education. I'm going to give 20970875 and 15183623 a shot for what I need based on several matching searches related to the VIN.

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    I need the Control Module and Intermeadiate ones only, and don't need to have "fuel pump stuff" sent, just in case the part number actually matches the fuel pump parts and the error in in the cross reference from the cable search.

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    Interesting that it occurs across platforms including AC Delco look up. I don't have a way of knowing if the picture or the part listing is the error or another possibility is that the part number and picture actually match properly and it's the reference from the cable search that is messed up...

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    I see agreement on several sites for the Control (Actuator) including the AC Delco parts site, but they show intermediate cable 15183623, Pass rear cable 25864664, Driver rear cable 25793731 which are all 1st designs. A couple sites are GM Parts store and Tasca Parts (probably same database)...

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    This is the picture found on a few GM parts sites plus RockAuto for GM Part # 25952157, Intermediate Cable. either the GM parts sites are all linked and using the wrong picture but this is not on mine. Is that some sort of electronic control? \

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    Thanks for that! Atleast that tells me which group I am in for parts. I see the controller for the handle to release version like mine, that I think includes the front cable, is the part number I was honing in on. The intermediate cable that I need is a different number but I have the Tahoe. I...

    Looking for Carpet Dye Feedback

    Of course not. Not looking for perfect nor just a spot fix. Looking for an appropriate material to use that will be permanent and not bleed off.

    Parking Brake Cables Replacement???

    As I wrote, 2 versions come up, even on the AC Delco parts lookup using the vin for the intermediate and rear cables.
