this traitor got what was coming to him
last i knew both v8s from fords suffered from plastic timing tensioners that would crack or warp. as they also used the same oil passage for the cam phaser and oiling for the front of the head that would all not be getting oiled. so they are in the same boat as where im at with the 4.0 and the...- drakon543

this traitor got what was coming to him
thing that kills me right now is used car prices. my accord actually went up in value instead of depreciation. dealerships aren't budging on prices. also its in really good shape besides the engine so i am debating on getting it fixed still. not having much luck there as 3 shops have told me...- drakon543

Intermittent A/C?
I've experienced a slightly similar problem when a vehicle just needed a proper recharge also. if you have never had the system charged before its 10 years old. you will periodically lose some refrigerant over the years. typically with a system with a leak you will lose it much faster so it... -

Weird drumming sound while on the gas
i cant tell anything from the video but i had a strange occurrence with my 97 tahoe i would have described as a rapid drumming sound but i could generally feel it to. the universals on my rear shaft were apparently bad but felt fine whenever i went over the driveline to find the source. i...- drakon543

To Performance "Chip" or not to "Chip"....
if your referring to those obd2 plug in "chips" those are all a scam. im assuming that's what your talking about as even the old school chips you could swap weren't even 50 bucks. the only real performance software option is a full tune. either a custom dyno tune or the favored blackbear...- drakon543

Window rollup - should I replace the motor?
that was my point i was just stating they all claim they are as good or better. i should have filled the rest of that in. -
Window rollup - should I replace the motor?
all aftermarket stuff will generally say meets or exceeds oe. generally for what your saying the window is doing i just apply some grease to the tracks and the problem is fixed. only other thing ive had to replace is the side felt sliders. after a period of time the felt like material will... -

Hate to do this... Anyone have a OEM NBS Y pipe for sale?
haven't tried to take the remaining pipe off the exhaust manifold? also you would be surprised what a custom exhaust shop would charge. have to find a custom shop tho. ive gotten some pretty surprisingly cheap quotes for whole custom exhaust systems. -

Hood gap 03 Tahoe
look very closely at the full radiator support top and bottom. not saying that's your problem but the marks on that bumper are very odd especially the lower valence. the paint generally comes off like that when a painted piece of plastic has been bent well beyond what the paint and continue to... -

Hood gap 03 Tahoe

99 Tahoe AC Head Scratcher
the cycling switch is the main power switch to the clutch engagement i believe and is at the end of the circuit. so bypassing it will run it even if its empty and bone dry to the point you sieze the compressor. my 97 was very similar issue initially same symptoms and was the dash controls... -
99 Tahoe AC Head Scratcher
id have to look at the schematic again however the relay for the a/c will always have power waiting until it gets a second 12v to flip the switch which comes from the dash controls. most of the higher draw components in a vehicle will be switch operated but the switch isnt actually driving the...
