Trouble Removing Wheels
be careful what your putting on there tho and make sure you dont use alot. too much and your liable to have it get slung out and potentially get on the pads. it could also get under the clearcoat on your aluminum wheels and cause premature peeling. ive always hit the steel mounting hub with a... -

Under hood temps in Phoenix AZ. Cowl hood or vents?
your best option is to get a better flowing fan setup. cowl hood will help a bit but nothing overly noticeable on the temp gauge. ive never experienced it myself but they say ceramic coated headers can lower engine bay temps. the ceramic and better flow will allow hot exhaust gases to leave...- drakon543

Rear main info
well above argument about mobil 1 aside when a rear main is ready to start leaking its all or nothing and will only progressively get worse. nothing you add to it will help much if at all because its a rotational seal. making it to 230k is more suprising for some as a rear main can start as...- drakon543

Front wheel bearing education
through the years ive used just about every easily accessible brand of hubs you can get. anything other than timken or directly from the dealership i didn't get any longevity from. they few brands i didn't get to use may have been from skf and other above noted bearing brands.- drakon543

windshield wipers not aligned right
decided to watch that video as i haven't had my tahoe in a while. just like i remember in the video prior to him completely removing the wiper drive arms you can see slots on the bolt holes. thats so you can adjust the arms separately not together as he was doing. it may take some penetrant... -
windshield wipers not aligned right
if i recall there is some adjustment. however as the work was just recently completed instead of fighting with it yourself just take it back to the shop and request they fix it. the wipers are typically removed for the work they did so they put it back together wrong. -
Truck wont crank
jumping the starter can be done with cables but isnt ideal. either way the point is to bypass the solenoid on the starter and force it to try to turn the engine. if your going to try with cables clamp the ground to the starter mounting bolt and touch the positive cable off the opposite large...- drakon543

Rim sizing is about to make my head explode
far as ive noticed for the most part when using different factory tires just run the tire size that was intended to have been on those rims and your good. well for an easy choice atleast. plenty of other tire sizes you could match it with. -

1999 Red OBS 4dr Tahoe owner
easiest thing to check is your pitman and idler arms as they can be checked visually on the ground. another easy visual check is above the steering box is a coupler with what is basically a piece of tire being used as the actual coupler. if the pitman arms are moving and the tires aren't... -
