    Temp gauge issues

    +1 on that. You could have air in your coolant system that you need to work out.

    why is the 4l60e such a P.O.S.?!

    On my stock tune I found out that the torque converter was staying locked during shifting. From what I've been told, this is bad since it puts stress on the trans during a weak point (shifting). Just an FYI on what I found on my stock tune for my 4L60E.

    E brake

    You should be able to adjust the cable. Have you already gone to an inspection place already? I took mine and they didn't even check out the e-brake. They made sure everything else was fine minus the e-brake. If the adjustment is maxed out, and you have drums in the rear then it's time for...

    Had some trouble at Jiffy Lube

    They probably meant backwards on the threads....maybe?? And a similar thing happened to me with a Champion Oil Lube place. They broke a valve stem, tried to blame it on me (when I wasn't even near the truck when they were checking the air pressure), and tried to use some shitty conventional oil...

    Spark plugs

    I don't really know about those pulstar's because we installed a set on a friend's 5.3L Monte Carlo SS and when we took out a few after like 3-5k they really looked like crap. They looked excessively worn, and that was with a motor that only had 15k on it. So he opted to go with a set of Bosch...

    Brake Booster Bad???

    It does sound like your brake booster is going out. Have you checked for vacuum leaks to the brake booster? How many miles on it?

    Spark plugs

    I have been using the Bosch +4 Platinum-Iridium Fusion spark plugs for 2.5+ years now and the engine still runs really smooth. I used Bosch before and decided to put these on the hoe.

    brakes..... problem???? help?

    Try to bleed the calipers and see if crap comes out the bleeder. Don't press the brake with the pads off of the caliper. If you press the brake with everything off the caliper, the piston could pop right out and mess up the seal. Then you would have to go buy another one or rebuild it yourself...

    brakes..... problem???? help?

    It's not normally possible, unless you have a leak somewhere. Well there could be some build up behind the caliper and thus why it might of been stuck. You'll want to take the wheels off and turn the rotors, with no pressure from the brakes, and see if you hear some rubbing (either from the pads...

    Cat back flowmaster system

    They probably got a custom job from a muffler shop. Go ask a shop and ask how much the job would be.

    brakes..... problem???? help?

    What are you saying? Do you mean that the caliper is holding on and thus causing a lot of heat or are you trying to say something else? If you're saying that the caliper is holding then have you tried bleeding the brakes? Did you check to make sure everything fit well? Sometimes the rotors are...

    seats fully recline help

    Yeah, check out that thread. I wrote up the tread and just did my driver side this past weekend. For the driver's seat I just took off the whole spring, so I didn't have to worry if I did enough or not. I still grinded down the whole bolt down to the bottom. I posted some pictures on the exact...

    Crazy prices

    I know what you mean. There were these little retaining clips that my front valence needed since they fell off when I went off-roading, and they were like 5 bucks a piece. I was like WTF. And the valence required 13 of them.

    Need advice on how to get better MPG.

    Yes this is true, but if you have ANY pre-ignition/detonation before the piston is all the way up then you have WORK AGAINST the engine and thus less fuel economy. A higher octane will lessen, if not eliminate, the pre-ignition/detonation that happens before the piston's full compression stroke...

    touch-up paint

    What type of touch-up paint are you looking for? For what application? I am considering getting something from the following link for the front of my Hoe since I travel a lot on the highway and get a lot of rock chips. http://www.drcolorchip.com/

    Tahoe dies out at idle

    Dirty throttle body and/or IAC. Have you noticed any noise from the A/C compressor? If the compressor is drawing a lot of power from your engine then it might be going out.

    What Motor Oil is everybody using?????

    No!!!!!! It's the opposite. If you get the higher W it is a thicker viscosity and thus cannot flow through the engine as easily, especially during start up. It is recommended to use a lower W during the winter and higher W during the hotter days. I live in Texas and it gets pretty dang hot down...

    Power Steering Flush & Seafoam Trans Tune

    I never used that stuff, but I replaced my fluid with a pump. You can get a pump and attach a hose to it, which you then put into the reservoir and suck out the fluid. I used a pump designed for this kind of maintenance. I did the complete fluid change in my reservoir like 2-3 times and it...

    Removing the driver's seat question?

    Look at the four pics below to help you out. If I remember correctly, when I did my seat mod I had to use 15mm (fronts) and 7/16 (rears) sockets. I used my 1/2" drive ratchet and it was sufficient. The other two starred sockets/bolts that hold down the inner rail are covered with trim. The...

    Alright, that f&*^ing squeak from the rear doors..

    If you're talking about the hinges, I put white lithium grease on mine to prevent this and they haven't started to show any signs of noise. If it's from the weather stripping itself then I don't know what to tell you. I liked the white lithium grease because I don't have to go back and do it...

    What Motor Oil is everybody using?????

    I use Amsoil 10W-30 with their filters and it's been pretty good to me so far.
