    That sweet scary smell

I am so excited, the new heater hose came from Amazon. The delco one with the T in it that serve the coolant...

    Connectors are confusing

    I thought about just taking it apart and taking the pieces up to autozone, but from the videos and articles I read often crumble, so I was hoping you guys might be able to direct me to what I need to complete the heater hose change out. I think I am on the right track. You guys have helped me so...

    Connectors are confusing

    Okay, I have a 2004 Tahoe Z71 and I would like to replace the heater hoses as well while I have everything apart. I am confused on what connectors I need. I am being told these are wrong by amazon but other sites say they will fit. Any idea guys? Basically I would like to replace both hoses...

    Water pump confusion

    Hey Folks, Okay, so I ordered my new water pump and it looks like 1A sent the one with metal gaskets and such. This is fine, but I have never dealt with metal gaskets. I am a big fan of RTV silicone and such and put it on for extra insurance. Is it wrong to do that with these? Also, where they...

    That sweet scary smell

    Okay guys, drove the Tahoe today and got confirmation of the Waterpump I believe. I smelled that sweet smell again outside of it when I was gassing up and looked through the wheel at the "offroad" panel and a small puddle of coolant had collected right in the middle. Last day I drive the Tahoe...

    That sweet scary smell

    Thanks for all the info guys. I have been planning on doing a super flush. I saw ChrisFix do one and I thought I might do close to the same. I think I will do this first, minus removing the Tstat, and then change out my parts BEFORE I fill with fluid. I have a new tstat, waterpump, upper and...

    That sweet scary smell

    I am going back with Dexcool from Prestone - any objections to that? I have read both camps, and where this truck has so many miles, 166,+ I am afraid to switch it up.

    That sweet scary smell

    Okay Gurus, thank you! The part is original and I am going to do a coolant flush anyways so I ordered a new one online, let me ask you this: I see that it comes with gaskets. Do I still need to RTV them or should I just install with the plain gaskets?

    My new to me 04 Tahoe and Stereo adventure

    They need to issue a firmware update for this issue. I have read about this alot. It seems to be more CrApple friendly so I dunno.

    My new to me 04 Tahoe and Stereo adventure

    I used a razor blade to score the area well, the sharper the better, and then I used some long needle nose pliers to just clip off the rest of the plastic at the bottom. Came off pretty easily. I am just very glad I did not have to remove the metal mount, I was not looking forward to that, plus...

    04 Tahoe Z71 Birthday coming up

    Hmm, this is something I am going to have to take into consideration. I might check some of my local tire shops too and see what they can order in, that way I know it will be right. Are those sensors difficult to swap?

    That sweet scary smell

    Hey Guys, You all have been great helping to get my 04 Tahoe in shape. I am having an issue. I am smelling antifreeze when I am around the front of the car. I do not smell it all on the inside, and my heat is good. Anything typical with these trucks that leaks or I should be aware of. I have...

    I will give this a shot. I have tried a couple of times, no luck. I even bought a motor "tested" from a junk yard. We shall see.

    04 Tahoe Z71 Birthday coming up

    Thanks guys, I will and I will let you know what I find out. I really just want something that is an easy swap. I might check my local salvage yards too, I had luck in the past. I don't know much about the sensors that go in the wheels, is this something I need to look out for?
