    Emergency CV axle repair

    So I think I have a CV that is blown. It was making some skipping clunking noise around corners, and a pulsing grinding noise with each wheel rotation. It is worst when turning hard right, and especially bad if I engage 4x4 and make it bind up. Even without jacking the car up, there is...

    No Brake Lights

    After doing an oil change, fixing a window regulator, and a few other little things that had been bothering me, I was happily out on a drive the other day noting how damn near everything was working perfectly for once. This was until another driver pulled up and said "you know you ain't got no...

    Fuel pump has power but not running

    It is fixed. I had tried swapping the relay and it was good. something was bad in the Positive lead from the pump to the relay. I ran a new one and all is good.

    Fuel pump has power but not running

    I am baffled by this one. I was pretty sure my pump was dead, relay was good, but there was no prime. I got the tank dropped, tested the wiring, and it was all good. 12V on the pump power wire for a few seconds when key goes on, then back to 0. Ground was less than 2 ohms to the negative battery...

    Bad fuel pump?

    Ah, didn't even think about the manual, good to know that breakdown is in there... Sadly that fuse is good. Looks like it's time to check out the pump. I'm thinking about cutting an access panel and doing it from the top

    Bad fuel pump?

    Rhys It's not quite that. I'll take a look later, I don't remember seeing any PCM fuses. There were a couple ECM ones, and I checked all those. I've got another vehicle I can drive for now. Planning on waiting till it warms up then I'll get the tank down and investigate. It has come down...

    Bad fuel pump?

    Is there any way the anti-theft system could disable the pump? From what I remember it just disables the injectors.

    Bad fuel pump?

    How? I have a scan tool capable of basic obdii , might be able to borrow something. What exactly do I need to read? I know the pump is not running, but I'd like to be able to test the power to it without dropping the tank.

    Bad fuel pump?

    Where is the fuel pump fuse? I didn't see it on any of the diagrams ..

    Bad fuel pump?

    02 Tahoe 4x4 5.3 Flex. 330,000 miles. I think my fuel pump died last night. Hoping it could be something else. I slowed down to a stop sign, it stalled and would not restart. Fuel pump is not coming on to prime (I can usually hear it, but it's silent. I swapped the fuel pump relay, still...

    Coolant temp 02 Tahoe

    The dash gauge in these trucks is never really accurate. It will go high when it actually overheats, but otherwise doesn't really mean anything. They basically just sit just below straight after it warms up, and never changes unless it starts to run away. It doesn't sound to me like you have any...

    Front End Noise

    Another +1 on the timkens. Watch out though, there were knock off ones that weren't actually made in the US floating around on amazon/ ebay for a while. I forget exactly what it was, but there was an easy way to tell. Also not always an easy job. The hubs tend to fuse themselves to the vehicle...

    GMT 800 Towing Package?

    They pretty much all came ready to tow. I believe they all have the tranny cooler and tow/ haul mode. The towing package added a transmission temp gauge, although the sensor is there even without it, you just need to check the OBD stats to see the value. Some also had autoride auto-leveling rear...

    Oil When Replacing AC compressor

    I'm in the middle or replacing my compressor. Had a shop purge the system, I'm swapping the parts, then they are going to pull a vacuum and charge it back up. I'm trying to figure out if I need to add oil to the system. The specs say it takes 11 oz total for the system, and the compressor states...

    Low cold start oil pressure

    How bad was changing the oil pump? I fear trying to get everything off with 300k of Michigan rust. Although I did recently drop the tranny pan and that wasn't as stuck as expected

    Low cold start oil pressure

    The part that scared me is that close after startup, the pressure would actually drop if I put my foot down. Not down to 0 or anything, but it certainly didn't rise like normal. Now, the gauge has done the bouncing thing at idle for nearly the cars entire life, so I suppose this could be a...

    Locks and Alarm Going of In Rain

    The last 2 times it has rained, my alarm has started repeatedly going off. I can disable it, but it comes back within a few minutes. I have to disconnect the battery now whenever there's a chance of rain overnight... Last time I drove it after this happening (and having the battery disconnected...

    Low cold start oil pressure

    Noticed that my oil pressure has seemed a little low in the cold this winter. Sits around 30-35 at idle, climbs to maybe 45 driving, but doesn't settle in to 50-60 like Id expect until the engine fully warms up. Is this something I should have serious concern about? It feels like if runs just...

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing w/ New Muffler

    Mine doesn't drone at all. I wasn't able to reuse the stock tailpipe since the stock muffler was dual out though.

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing w/ New Muffler

    Ended up just putting a stock like tailpipe on. Fixed the torque, and it still feels good at high rpm. A LOT quieter.

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing w/ New Muffler

    Just had a dynomax ulta flo muffler welded on. Currently no tailpipe at all, but I really should do something. It sounds great, but the drone is awful, and the low end torque is gone. any suggestions on how to get some of the torque back? I'd like to have it exit out the back, but I feel like...

    Extreme inner pad wear, caliper seems fine

    I'll give it a shot. I did clean the slides well last time, but I'll do it again. Not sure I'll be able to tell if it's wearing unevenly after that little time, but I guess we will see. Just dont want to keep throwing new pads at it all the time and risk the new rotors.

    Extreme inner pad wear, caliper seems fine

    Interesting, I'm in Michigan, so certainly used to the salt and rust issues. I'll have to take a look at this. It seems to rapid to be something like that, but I could be wrong.

    Extreme inner pad wear, caliper seems fine

    Yep, it moves just fine by hand.

    Extreme inner pad wear, caliper seems fine

    Put new rear calipers on about 2 years ago after one seemed to be sticking. This was before I really did my own work and it was a shops diagnosis and solution, but the warranty is up. In the last year, the right caliper ate through its inner pad WAY too fast. I replaced the pads, cleaned it all...
