    Low coolant temp reading

    My 5.3 (01 Silverado) isn't coming up to temp either. Barely any heat in the cab. It's been a problem for a couple of years and is only an issue in the winter. Replaced the radiator last year due to end tank cracks. I, too, am leaning toward a stuck thermostat but will wait to see how your...

    2002 Tahoe/4.8 to 5.3 swap what's all needed

    My engine uses throttle signal bywire. I imagine I'd need to keep that and have a pcm that's configured for it?

    2002 Tahoe/4.8 to 5.3 swap what's all needed

    I realize this is an old thread but was about to do the same thing: 02 Tahoe 4.8-5.3 swap. Where's the recipe? Who's the goto guy for the pcm work, here?

    Elusive engine oil leak

    I can't keep putting oil in it at $8/qt. I'll never have to change the oil but it's a hellova mess and I worry about it lighting up on the exhaust. Glad I'm 2WD, too. Gonna be replacing the oil pan gasket when I drop the trans.

    Elusive engine oil leak

    I have the same leak. It seems like the rms is leaking and the oil is running along the lip of the oil pan and then dripping out at both corners: under the oil filter and under the starter. Oil pan is also leaking from the front but the deluge is definitely rear engine, unfortunately. Pretty...

    Rear main seal leak? Pics attached

    It's little grungy back there but I don't see it pissing out. Still, I'm going to replace it when I replace the knock sensors (again and with quality parts).

    Rear main seal leak? Pics attached

    I didn't exaggerate. Will post pictures of my well-preserved undercarriage and the oil slick on my back doors/glass tomorrow. It drips faster than a woman crying while watching a Lifetime movie. When I pull in to Walmart (to buy more oil) in the rain, rainbow dots lead the way to my Tahoe like a...

    Rear main seal leak? Pics attached

    On second thought, after seeing Davids vids, this could actually be my problem. I may have overlooked it when I had the intake off to replace the knock sensors. I don't think I went that far back (and down) because I wasn't actually looking for it: just a general look-over and a OP sending unit...

    Rear main seal leak? Pics attached

    Yes. Recently replaced knock sensors (and OP sending unit because it was accessible) as well as valve cover gaskets. Was clean in that area. I'll be redoing the job - see my other posts today - and will check it out again. I'm having to add 1.5 qts for every tank of gas. It's embarrassing.

    Advice on knock sensors

    Thanx, Scott and Matt. Good info. Regarding fake "OE" parts on Amazon, the pic for the $35 GM OE 213-3521 sensor is the EXACT photo used on the Summit site. It's hard to know who to trust any more. I'll let you know how it works out....this time.

    Advice on knock sensors

    Glad it worked out for you. I did this about 2 months ago and the codes keep coming back. It's probably my fault for going cheap. I used a cheap kit from amazon that came with off-brand sensors and harness for around $22. I did my homework AFTERwards, unfortunately. Lessons learned. I'm about to...

    Rear main seal leak? Pics attached

    My 02 Tahoe (285K mi) rains oil. This thread affirms my suspicion of the RMS. With oil at $8 a qt, I need to do something about it soon. New to Atlanta area and few tools, unfortunately. Anyone know anyone in the area who'll rent me their shop stall or garage (with tools)?? I'm also concerned...
