    Which Master Cylinder

    I tried this and it felt different, not better. I got better results from replacing the rear drum hardware, fluid flush and replacing the MC with a NEW, correct one for the OBS. Bigger and better difference. Check rockauto.com for rear drum parts. I was getting emails from them on clearance...

    Tranny swap question

    The tranny from the 2004 is probably hooked up to an LS Engine. Chances are it's probably a 4L60e also. However, it has a different size torque converter and will not fit behind the 5.7. You will need a conversion kit from GM which includes a Aluminum spacer to sandwich between the engine and...

    4l60e tranny questions

    No it will not if you have the LS version of the tranny. GM does sell a kit to make it work. However you need to remove the old alignment pins from the block which is a nightmare. This is because you have to put a cnc made aluminum spacer between the block and tranny.

    Master cylinder upgrade

    I did it and i found no improvement in braking. In fact, it felt worse to me. Only after replacing the rear drum harware and the correct mc did it feel better than before

    drive shaft rotation

    Wrong. Forget the driveshaft. If you look at a clock from the front face, it turns clockwise. If you look at the same clock from the back, its counter clockwise. In relation to my original question, i asked looking from the back, towards the transfercase, which way does it turn.

    Tahoe Leaf Spring Replacement Installation

    Hey Movie, Saw your posts late, sorry. I do have a stock set up except for a pair of torsion keys. The bounce and sway I was feeling were definitely due to the worn springs. Going highway speeds in a turn was just awful. The rear was sagging more on the drivers side believe it or not. It all...

    No spark

    I would check to see if you have voltage at each of the connections to the coil, and sensors.

    Ebay fans vs. aftermarket

    Yeah, this is the first time i'm doing it this way. There are lots of other forums for different types of vehicles that are doing it on the outlet side for aftermarket fans. In reading through them, it made sense so I'm giving it a try. That's why i've been keeping a close eye on the gauge. I'll...

    Ebay fans vs. aftermarket

    The fans kick on at around 205. I have a 195 stat. They used to come on all the time because the water temp is at its max going into the radiator. If the radiator does its job dissipating the heat, then there is no reason to have the fans kick on. Using the outlet side of the radiator better...

    Ebay fans vs. aftermarket

    I had bought FF dynamics fans about 6-7 years ago. They were about $100 each. They seemed to be ok for a while but then I noticed that they had slowed down a bit. One of them used to get stuck or spin real slow. I had to tap the housing to get it to spin up again. This went on for a while. About...

    Tahoe Leaf Spring Replacement Installation

    Update: These springs are stiff and ride a bit hard. They also raised the back around 1.5-2 inches.

    Tahoe Leaf Spring Replacement Installation

    Install all your bolts and tighten accordingly. The one thing I didn't like about the new shackles is that there was a lot of space between the bushing and the shackle steel. I tightened the bolt enough to close the gap a little without binding. The ride overall is a little stiffer. Im...

    Tahoe Leaf Spring Replacement Installation

    Well after driving around with my sagging rear for a while, it was time to replace the worn out leaf springs. I figure I would give my experience and 2c. While it may seem an easy enough job to do, its always nice to have a little info before hand, so I wrote this up. From my research there was...

    NBS front axle in OBS

    Yeah lots of cutting and grinding off. Not a project im looking to undertake anytime soon but its on my back burner. The 14 bolt 6 lugs are harder and harder to find as well as getting older with more miles on them. By the time you pay for a rebuild with a possible gear change to both axles, it...

    NBS front axle in OBS

    Yeah I cant find any info on it at all. I'm just thinking rather than convert to rear disks on our style rears, just get a NBS rear differential with the disks and get the matching front differential with a better gear ratio than our 3.42. I know the spring pads and shock mounts have to be...

    Possible but I dont think its a dead cylinder... the sound is coming from the gauge chattering back and forth.

    Exhaust Back Pressure

    Hello all. I just got an exhaust back pressure tester because I suspect my engine is running like crap because of a possible clogged cat. So I hooked it up and of course the results are not what I expected. The gauge fluctuates like crazy...not steady like in every other description and video...
