    Maintenance to do after picking up your "new" truck

    I'm with you. I drive mine to work most days and the highway between home and work is notoriously dangerous and busy. I'm doing R&R's at the first sign of degradation or failure of any moving parts. I-635 is 1 place where you do not want to be stranded or dickin' around with some junk, I promise...

    Maintenance to do after picking up your "new" truck

    https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCCbGGtbW86uP81oHjs7C7IA https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCxy96SSiorGGYmCQn6ExwWA Look into the tutorials these 2 guys put up on the 246. I don't know which design either 1 is working on so pay careful attention of that and consider rebuilding the clutch pack as...

    Maintenance to do after picking up your "new" truck

    Have you rebuilt a 246 before? I want to say 2003+ is slightly different from the earlier versions. There are 2 very good tutorials I have found on YouTube, 1 more intensive than the other. 1 guy shows how to rebuild and set up the wet clutch. If you have the earlier 246 that spins the front DS...

    Maintenance to do after picking up your "new" truck

    VIN 'z' 8th digit gets the fuel filter replaced. Drop the spare tire and look it over. check all of the bulbs for working order. The truck I bought last time had 1 license plate bulb burned out & the other 1 was busted, hence nothing on rear plate. Most used trucks prob need the high brake lamp...

    Wobble when going over uneven road at speed

    if your vehicle was originally an auto leveling or smooth ride RPO code the problem could be with the rear springs. For sure on the zw7 suspension package, softer OEM springs are used with the Nivomat self adjusting shocks. When said shocks are replaced with standard units, the springs must be...

    Loud *clank* sound from engine - 2007 Tahoe 5.3L

    When I went to buy my truck, the dealer said that the AC would stop blowing cold. He said that the AC pulley wasn't turning true and after they had it shimmed, the AC worked properly. It has been working fine since I purchased the truck last April, but he warned me that it would need replacing...

    my 2004 Z71 journal

    15-min with the perfect combination of socket and extensions. I went the advised route using the Lisle socket that oreilly auto parts had on the shelf for this specific application; just picked it up same time as the OPS. Then I exchanged it for something else on $10-store credit next time I...

    2500 suburban with quadrasteer

    Lucky Dog! I've never even heard mention of a quad steer suburban. The 2500 chassis, 6L & 4L8 is just abominable. Then 4x4 too?! As stout as they come and the rear steer is a solid GM product. Very rare to hear of any fault with the quadrasteer system as a whole. Good thing you snatched it up...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Replaced the original 129,500 m wires with these bad boys. My aunt told me it's the weirdest gift that she's ever bought for someone. I had a scare with the power steering yesterday driving around the airport. I removed the drive-belt & felt no resistance from the pump so I replaced some...

    Coolant Leak after changing Thermostat?

    Some of the air would have purged simply through the heating and cooling process but a proper bleeding is what's called-for. I would start off with that and have my OBD reader plugged in to monitor the coolant temp in real-time via the "live data" mode or equivalent. I know that my truck has an...

    Regular sounds 4lo & road testing 4WD, 2002 Tahoe

    Ya you don't necessarily need to be in a low-traction situation to know if 4wd is operable. As you said, the under steer is unmistakeable. I wouldn't go around trying to break traction at-all-cost; you may be making a repair. Your truck should have a factory locking differential in the rear...

    Coolant Leak after changing Thermostat?

    You can't tell if the coolant exited the overflow? The biggest concern would be overheating if the air hasn't been purged out.

    Empty too early?

    My truck is empty before it gets down to "1/4" on the gauge. My buddy has a 2003 tahoe that is the same exact way.

    Replacing CV shafts with an axle in 01 Yukon

    It's called SAS. Solid axle swap. Google it. Very common these days. Several companies make an install kit. Mostly hard core off roaders & experienced DIYers who own just about any tool a pro mechanic would have, along with a welding machine, various grinders, recip saw, I mean you need...
