    Re-circulation Blend Door - where/how/ehh?

    Got a proper look at the thing ugh... I don't think there's a way to get at it without pulling the dash Excuse me while I complain about it for a week before actually doing anything

    Re-circulation Blend Door - where/how/ehh?

    Oh lovely I hate dash work Doable without the dash? Or nah? Found the entry in alldata. Instructions aren't that helpful. It's basically... "Take it out. Then put it back"

    Re-circulation Blend Door - where/how/ehh?

    Yeah, mine's done. Need to replace the thing Issue is I can't seem to find any info on it. Where it is, how to get to it, etc. Even alldata shows no results for "recirculation" or "blend door." So like... Where is it? And what's the best way to get to it?

    Strange creaking noise from brakes

    Clarification: I don't have a FB, and I have any/all associated services with facebook blocked at my router. I can't watch it. the tl;dr of it is they touched my ****** and I won't interact with them ever again. A hard line has been drawn

    05 Tahoe rough idle and spark issue?

    agree Op, I implore you.... Do NOT use a compression fitting Those things are for like... 3 digit pressures. Not 4 digits that your brakes are under. Like VietVet said, you had to union 2 lines, a double flare would be preferable. Interference mechanical fit, not just friction. But like...

    Fluid recommendations differential / trans / transaxle ?

    I run similar in mine Amsoil 75w140 in the diffs, with a slight overfill to make up for slower drainback on the thicker fluid (~10mm over stock. That nets out to the top of the fill port on the front, and bottom of the fill port on the rear. No dipstick method). Can argue semantics on it, but...

    Customer Service Really is Dead

    It really is Had a chat with outsourced customer service yesterday. Like.... No, sorry, I'm not giving out PII to some unknown entity. Ain't that step 1 on what literally everyone says to avoid scams or info leaks or anything else? (This was something super minor but now my need to be petty...

    Safely long-haul towing with a 2006 Z71 Tahoe

    If you need to park it for cooling, flip the a/c on That will kick your efans on and pull air through the radiator. Else they will only activate based on coolant temp. Which flows through the radiator, and across the transmission's radiator-located heat-exchanger. Hot coolant through rad...

    Trans Temp from OBD?

    Here's my gauge configuration for reading from my '05

    Trans recommendations

    While I have no input on the 80 I do have a couple theories on failure modes on the 60s. Nothing I can prove, but, observations of failures and maintenance habits from reading pages of threads - Old fluid: Gets acidic. Acid = high affinity to give hydrogen atoms up. Or to phrase it...

    Ok so i have a huge dilemma......i need opinions from everyone!

    Yeah dude.... This one's a bad idea. Kinda regardless of reason. Paperwork issues can be resolved through proper channels. That said, re-riveting the tag on the windshield ain't it. The VIN is also stored on the ecu, and on other places around the vehicle. I'm not one to go jumping on laws...

    01 Tahoe 5.3 tick then goes away

    All things worth checking Got a chance to watch the video with some better speakers. Honestly, sounds almost like some gnarly piston slap to me. Real easy way to isolate if it's rod knock vs. anything else: Go to the parts store, grab the cheapest 20w50 they have and throw that in there for...

    01 Tahoe 5.3 tick then goes away

    Yup Threw me for a loop shortly after I got my rig. Sounds like a ticking lifter at idle. Roughly the proper cadence. When revved, accessory noise drowns it out. Then it 'comes back' when idle is resumed.

    4l65E stock or added later?

    Stop talking I'm at 175k. Original 4l60e. This is fine. :poker:

    01 Tahoe 5.3 tick then goes away

    I'm going to come at this from a slightly different angle Could you verify that the sound isn't the evap purge solenoid? Unplug the electrical connector from this thing. It's normal for it to sound like a ticking lifter.

    No brakes, just changed hydroboost gaskets/o rings

    When you say you have no brakes, could you clarify what that means? Pedal goes to floor? No assist? Other?

    Yikes! Coolant Reservoir Hose Detached

    Ding ding It's just there to direct overflow in the event of an overheat/overfill. Drain it safely to ground rather than risking it splashing onto a hot exhaust mainfold

    Tahoe dies out while driving not all the time. What's going on???

    Brain dumping: If I name off a part you've already replaced, I read your post. But.... You've replaced a lot of things and it's still being funny. And I don't quite hold a high degree of trust in new parts any more. Always verify. - Fuel pump or fuel pump controller, depending on your year...

    Oops I fat fingered my phone and hit post instead of new line Only happens in motion, at speed. Seems to be aggravated by certain bumps / leans in the road, though I've not been able to put together a pattern.
