    Was able to get in a few days of work on the Tahoe. traced the brake fluid leak to on of the rear lines. They’re both pretty rusted and bad, so I’m going to replace them, but the front ones and the ones headed to the master cylinder have almost no corrosion on them. So I’ll cut the back lines...

    I DID try to pressurize with the cap off the reservoir, so maybe I didn’t blow that seal?

    I might do that anyways, everything in the drivers side wheel well is covered in brake fluid. That’s a bummer, it might’ve blown then. I did the bleed with the car off until I got some pedal resistance, but when I started it, it went all the way down. I think it may have blown before that...

    I know the brakes and bleeding on these trucks are a little different than some other trucks/cars, but why would it have damaged the master cylinder? there’s been a leak on this truck at the brake booster for years now, but fluid has never run low, so hopefully all will remain well.

    belt was still spinning, I think it might be the clutch on the compressor.

    New radiator and new power steering cooler mounted and hooked up. Topped off, bled air, and checked for leaks. got a little concerned because the fans didn’t cut on for almost ever, and started to get worried that I must’ve messed something up, but then they finally cut on. Drove it around the...

    Radiator came today a full week early, and blessedly pristine and undamaged. Body lift kit also came today, will have to get a few more of the longer size bolts, and that’ll be good to go. so time off next week 1) assemble parts back onto fenders, and reattach all accessories and engine...

    thanks! I’m glad to finally be able to make it look the way I wanted.

    Several more parts arrived today, including the headlight hangers, so i got to test fit thatand also installed a new power steering cooler to replace the one the deer nearly broke in half. I bent it back straight, and it wasn’t leaking while unpressurized, but I felt it “give” when it bent...

    The hunt for a drivers side fender is coming up bunk. Literally every truck is smashed one or both of them. And don’t even get me started on the incredible luck of finding a bumper... anyways, part of the plan a LONG time ago was to do a full HD front conversion, including the bumper. Not just...

    I figured painting plastic “chrome” would be easier because I could just sand down to the plastic.

    jarydM’s 2005 Tahoe Build/Rebuild

    yeah, except for the door. I have a friend that has a body shop, gonna have him price painting the door. the bumper of course is chrome, so I’m gonna learn to paint it

    yeah, poor thing had a rough year. I half expected her to not even start. But sitting in the seat and turning the key was like seeing an old friend again. As for what I have planned: 1.5” wheel spacers to move the stance out a bit. NNBS front brake upgrade body repair. after that I’ll...

    The 01-03 HD front is so popular, you literally can’t find the parts. I had a thread on here a year ago after I had seen a suburban with it I just think that looks awesome. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Luckily the age of it is what made the insurance price out of fixing it. It was never “totaled”, and won’t have a remanufactured title.

    The Escalade was great, and made me forget about the Tahoe. Maybe I should sell it, but it had so many good memories, and I knew I could fix it. Then this spring, the unthinkable happened. The Escalade stuck a lifter because of the 4cyl shutdown mode, which I hadn’t been able to tune out yet...

    After several years of school, remodeling a house, and settling into a job, I finally have time to work on my Tahoe. Our original adventure vehicle, and the best car I had ever owned (until my current one) She was perfect, until I rear ended a guy at a red-light, and bent/broke a lot of the...
