  1. Bad bow tie

    Work Log for my 1995 Yukon

    Looks tight my friend. I'm loving the Rhino Lined rockers. Like the others said, the chrome wheel well trim just doesn't look right without the side molding. If you do strip it, look into getting some stock fender flares (I know Bushwacker sells OEM for these trucks, or just buy a set taken off...

    noob engine swap questions

    Just drop in a stock 350 Vortec engine. It will bolt right up and is all plug and play. There are other options out there, but they are more complicated and complex, so the easiest would just be going back to stock. What's wrong with the engine in it now? And would you be going with a reman'ed...

    Few irritating problems

    I have no codes...ever. The "check engine" has never come on. I don't think it is burned out because it comes on when I turn the ignition on. Checked the timing a couple month ago when I was trying to fix these problems.

    No idea. How does one determine this?

    Few irritating problems

    Could it be the MAP sensor? I have read that it causes hesitation and fuel delivery problems. ---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ---------- Fuel filter has been changed.

    Few irritating problems

    Does the TBI have a MAF? I thought only the Vortecs had those... Thinking I will check the IAC and the fuel pressure. What's the pressure supoosed to be?

    Few irritating problems

    I have a few problems that are really starting to piss me off. The truck is a 1995 Tahoe with 191k on it. First, my truck hesitates upon acceleration. It bogs down when I accelerate for a couple of seconds then picks right back up. Second, when lightly touching the gas to maintain a speed, the...

    New Eyes for the rig

    Looks tight my friend. What kind of front bumper is that and where abouts did you get it? I think I'm liking the inserts.

    2 Door on 38's

    That is just down right dead sexy! Why the hell did you get rid of it?

    Roof Rack

    RockyMt21 has one for sale in the For Sale section for $115 plus shipping. Believe it or not, I have never had a flat tire on any of the vehicles I have owned. Nor have I had to replace a battery.

    where to start???

    First of all welcome to the forum. The ball joints are a ***** and a half to do. They are press in type. It took me and a buddy about 10 hours to do both upper and lower. If you are somewhat mechanical, you should be fine. I would go with Moog ball joints. They are a little more expensive...

    2 Door on 38's

    Nice looking truck. Those are the Pro Comp 1069's correct?

    Roof Rack

    Only if you line it with lights and carry a spare tire in it. Otherwise, no.

    6" IFS Tuff Suspension lift on a 1998 2 door 4x4.

    I vote either Cepek, Superlift, or Pro Comp. I hear all good things about these lifts except Pro Comps customer service is shitty. Here is a Cepek over on GMFS for $950 picked up. $300 off retail. I don't know how far you are from Michigan, but perhaps you can talk him into shipping it. It's...

    Hello All

    haha I didn't see this thread before I posted in your engine swap thread. Nice rides! That Vette is sick! So you are thinking about Line Xing your rockers huh? As I said in the other post, I also thought about doing that if mine ever begins to rust. I think that would be sweet. Post some after...

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    Yeah that is a pretty decent price on an engine that is complete. I would deffinetly do a mild rebuild with a few upgrades before throwing it in. Hey throw up some pics of your Yukon and Vette. I know what you mean by getting rid of rust. I redid both rockers and the bottom of both doors...

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    Seriously though, if you do it, take a lot of pics and do a build thread so I can see how it goes. I have a 1995 2 door Tahoe with 190k and the stock power plant is getting a bit tired so I am thinking a new engine is in order in the future. And I don't want to go with a new stock long block, I...

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    Damn dude, that is shitty. Check this link out.. http://www.gmfullsize.com/forum/showthread.php?t=136333 It really doesn't look that hard other than the wiring issues you will run into. From what I have been reading, the engine needs to be 2002 or older because after 2002, they use an electric...

    95 and back: anyone doing LQ4 swaps?

    Shit if you do end up doing the swap, let me know how it goes. I thought about doing it and throwing in a 4L80E too but figured it would be too hard. I'd love to have that set up in my Tahoe.

    Will a 4wd Silverado rear end fit in my '99 4wd?

    If it has discs, it is probably out of a NBS.

    Will a 4wd Silverado rear end fit in my '99 4wd?

    I don't think it will fit if it is out of a NBS. I don't think the perches will line up. But you could grind them off and reattach them. Best way to find out is to measure it from perch to perch. You could make it fit, but doubtful it is a direct swap. Plus I am not sure how the disc brakes...

    Yea or NA

    I say leave it. I also like the red outline. Makes the bow tie stand out from the rest.
