    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    I am definitely going to replace both sides. This job is new to me so I am not sure what cylinder heads I have. 2003 tahoe LT is what I have. I just want to replace it with the same heads. Will read up and watch a few videos to wrap my head around the job and parts list. But first I need to...

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    Would you guys change both Cylinder heads or just the one that is cracked? Would you get remanufactured or new?

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    Any comments? I think this picture is the beginning of sorrows. LOL Please confirm for me. This looks like sludge and I change my oil every 3k miles come rain or shine.

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    Shoot I just replaced the cover with the updated cover! Didn't know to look. LOL Yes it was very easy to do. I will do that asap. Hate to have the oil pump clogged. Really appreciate your feedback. Where can I get a good rebuilt Cylinder head. Seems like a lot outfits out there doing this...

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    It has been going on for about 10k miles and a good 3 years or so but frankly I am not sure. I decided since everything was quite old and some items were mostly original, I decided to just take care of the entire system at once including water pump and radiator and everything on the list with...

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    No it doesn't smell and the oil is perfect. But maybe it is a slow leak into the combustion system and so I can't smell it yet until it leaks worse? I actually just ran out there and put the pressure test again on it. 20 psi and there is zero leaks anywhere. But I was losing pressure slowly...

    2003 Tahoe coolant system leak or head gasket leak?

    Alright! Yet another coolant loss post. I have completely replaced the cooling system and I mean everything. Started losing fluid again shortly after. Put 20PSI pressure on the system and found a leak at one of the new tees at the firewall and the hose at the water pump. Tightened hose and...

    Hard to start

    Are you still good. It just needed a charge or did the nav disc somehow drain the battery?

    FYI Parking Brakes

    Yeah you do. But If I remember correctly, I take the brake assembly off in one piece. Just take the two big bolts off. Then when putting it back on I compress the cylinders so it slides on easy. Once you hang the assembly out of the way, pull the rotor and you will see parking breaks behind...

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

    Well it has been 3000 miles since my fix and it is starting to leak again but very slightly and it appears to be leaking from somewhere else. The starboard side of the engine this time. No puddle forming at all, just a slight build up on the bar underneath and only after a long drive. So still...

    FYI Parking Brakes

    Yeah this was strange. I drive my cars very kindly. But again it wasn't that bad of an ordeal to replace them or adjust them as most will simply need to do. I didn't expect this. Didn't even notice until I went to clean them and stared at them for several seconds, thinking what is wrong with...

    FYI Parking Brakes

    I took my boat out about a week ago and noticed immediately that my parking brake was not holding well and I ended up leaning all that weight against the tranny. It worked perfectly a week prior. So got to work and check out the left rear parking brake compared to a new one. What happened to the...

    Knock Sensors and more

    Noticed a lot of threads on this subject. If you all can help please, a couple of questions. I have the 5.3 engine on a 2003 Tahoe. Pretty sure I have one bad knock sensor. (P0332 and no continuity). So I am going to tear into it shortly. While I am in there I will be replacing the oil sender...

    Need help with a oil leak guys!!!

    Probably a stupid question but I assume you confirmed it is engine oil. That will definitely help. In a situation like this, your best friend is brake cleaner. You need to spray the areas involved heavily then wipe it down in every nook and cranny you can reach. Make the suspected area...

    Jarring and harsh response to bumps and minor pot holes in the road

    Stock. The only item not stock wheels and tires... I have... 31/10.5 r15 I also put in new jounce bumpers (bumper stops). All four were either completely gone or half left. They were original. You would think this would help the harshness. Here is the list completed so far for the front...

    Jarring and harsh response to bumps and minor pot holes in the road

    Hello all... (again) Well my 99 Yukon is now almost perfect. Problem now is jarring and harsh bumps in the road. Question is this... I am going to do the lower control arms as they are warn. I have read that jarring could be weakened torsion bars. Should I change out the torsion bars while I...
