    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    OK, I will have to take a closer look on the transmission mount, but I think i felt some play in the U-joint as well. The transmission was in park with the parking brake applied.

    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    So, I drove the truck onto ramps today to check for play. I didn't notice anything bad at the diff. It has some play in the directions in which the driveshaft turns forwards and backwards, but i think this is normal. But i noticed some play in the driveshaft on the transmission side. I took a...

    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    It's a RWD. The color worries me a little, but I will replace it as soon as the new filter arrives with regular Dexron III. At least it doesn't smell weird and seems to have the viscosity of a regular ATF... Is there any way to properly check the pinion bearing. Wouldn't it become louder and...

    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    After I drove the truck again, to figure out where exactly the sound comes from, it sounds like it would be the middle of the car. It doesn't sound like it would be in the rear, but I'm not 100% sure. It starts around 45mph and is the loudest at 50mph. it's completely gone at 60mph and more...

    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    I also noticed that the ATF color is clear bright yellowish. I've heard from some people that there are oil manufacturers that don't stick to the color coding, but I'm gonna change the transmission fluid next week anyway. Just hope that if it was a wrong ATF, it didn't do too much damage...

    2WD Front Spring Installation Tips

    So... I made it today. It worked with this kind of spring compressor. Got it on eBay for under 20 bucks, it's actually meant for some older Mercedes. I just had to cut of a little bit of the rod to make it fit in there. I didn't test drive yet, but it seems I have to get an alignment, because...

    2WD Front Spring Installation Tips

    Hi, I wanted to take out the lift spacer at the front of my Suburban. The 2WD front suspension should be identical to the Tahoe, as far I know. Everything worked fine until I had to put the spring back into the seat. Has anyone of you done it without any special tool? Or can you recommend a...

    My first Chevy

    Thank you all :thumbsup:. The condition is alright. It has some clear coat damage on the hood, roof and upper parts of the doors. But the body is completely rust free, which was really important to me. On my to do list is to put some paint on the frame and rust protectant on the underbody.

    My first Chevy

    Hello, I recently bought my first Chevy ever. It's a 99 Suburban. So far i really like the size and practicality of the truck, but there is also some work to be done. Unfurtnately the previous owner spray painted the grille and front bumper black and added some tinted front lamps. I will go back...
