    2002 Tahoe front end whine

    If I'm reading this correct it only happens in 2wd at 45-55 mph and goes away in 4wd completely? Have you ran it without the front drive shaft connected to see if it goes away in 2wd if not I would look at the rear end. 45-55 mph is pretty specific and mainly happens when something is just a...

    Goodbye autocrap246

    Could you please share how you engage the front axle and parts used? I have a 241 swap on mine, but I haven't had the driveshaft made as of now. atm I have it engaged electronically, but I would like to have everything engaged manually.

    Sudden coolant loss; 2002 Tahoe 5.3L

    thats weird, unless they changed them sometime between years, mine connects to 2 at the front and 2 at the back of the heads and mine only leak when running duh! Maybe next time you go out let it cool enough and go back recheck, the mistery continues!

    Sudden coolant loss; 2002 Tahoe 5.3L

    Like snow pointed, check the steam pipes whatever their real name is, those connect at the front and rear, kind of hidden by the intake, the orings in there tend to go bad over time, I actually have the same issue atm, but mine is very minimal, to the point I haven't added any coolant to it...

    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    If anything you are probably off by .002 in the drive side, but its your call, I would have tried a few more shims but there is that. Its never fun to be back there. Let us know how it turns, I know re setting preload sucks balls with the solid spacer.

    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    Coast looks pretty good the drive looks messy, can you upload the negative side, as in the teeth you didn't coat but got printed by compound from the teeth you coated, Drive side, based on that line I suspect too deep.

    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    8.6s seem to like it in the 30-36 area for the most part so you are in the right track, when I said shallow I meant the first set pics in your first post, then when I said they appear a tad deep, I meant that for your last set of pics. Which is why I asked if those are 2 cut or 5 cut, if two cut...

    First time rebuilding a 8.6

    Are those 2 cut gears or 5 cut? if two cut drop the lash lower, or they will whine a little on coast 3-6. if 5 cut 7 would be perfect middle of the road. Also If you could run the compound thinner it would give you a better idea of the true pattern, doesn't look bad though maybe a tad deep, but...

    4l60E to NV3500 5 speed 04 Tahoe

    Welp got an update, been dallying this thing and lately it has gotten hard to get it into 1st gear from a stop, and second gear has resistance when taking it out of gear when I am about to shift to third, no problem rev matching/downshifting back to second, I woke in the wrong side of bed and...

    Transfer case whine

    How many miles on the Tcase? I replaced mine because it clunked pretty loud going in and out of gear and when I stabbed the throttle, but didn't whine which after several 100 thousand miles it was expected, tore it apart and it looked clean, barely any wear in the bearings/chain/forks but I...

    Transfer case skid plates

    I will tell you a secret, I haven't installed my Tcase and front skid plate back into my z71, I took them off about 5 years ago and haven't bothered to put them back, they are dusted in the garage I might put them back on after my oil change.

    Gear noise HELP 2005 Tahoe new 4.56 rear gears, .007 pinion shim, back lash .007, pinion preload 23nm, total preload 39nm.

    For the ford 88 did those happened to be motive gear orange box? I did a set of those 390s and my god, I can feel the hardness of the material in the pedal to this day.

    Gear noise HELP 2005 Tahoe new 4.56 rear gears, .007 pinion shim, back lash .007, pinion preload 23nm, total preload 39nm.

    depends how far off,I know the pinion for motive gear comes stamped with a pinion depth to check with a pinion depth tool, they are expensive and not worth it unless you want to do a lot of them and sometimes might still need adjustment after fact. I know the pinion head comes with a +-.002...

    Bought a 2003 G80 Tahoe

    I was never a fan of lift kits, Mine is pretty much stock in the rear z71 package and leveled at the front with leveling keys. with the stock wheels, and deflared I like the clean look. At most I would go with a 3 inch but thats just me, Its more to do with the tires than the lift, and the CV...

    Yukon wont go over 3k rpm at w.o.t

    This remind of my Ebay "tuned" ecu for my manual swap. I install it, starts fine no cel so I reverse, shift to first fine, start moving shift to second gear and gun it, BOOM! like I hit a brick wall! somehow the "tuner" didn't unlock the rpm range or something in the ecu and it wont rev past 2k...

    Transmission separator plate check ball almost pushed through

    I've been thinking of tearing into my old 230k mile 4l60e to give it a shot, but I wouldn't have something to put it in, so I have it in storage to someday give it a try and burn my self. I know the pan had a lot of clutch material last time I serviced it before replacing it, but it was still...

    Vibrations

    +1 I had something similar, it ended up being a U joint, the needle bearings had made a safe space for teach other in the bearing surface of the Joint, but only in one side of it. A bad transmission could also cause something similar, or a rear end. But before jumping to conclusions you need...

    Gear noise HELP 2005 Tahoe new 4.56 rear gears, .007 pinion shim, back lash .007, pinion preload 23nm, total preload 39nm.

    First 2 pics assuming you didn't screw the preloads look pretty dang close, going from that, I would have pulled .002-.003 thou of pinion thickness at a time,check what the pattern looks like and then bring it back to original point if too shallow and add .002 thou and compare the difference...
