    Rear Climate Control

    So this issue started after I reconnected my battery after it was disconnected for 3 weeks when I was replacing the rear main seal. I ordered an OEM actuator and installed it and it didn’t work. I reconnected the Dorman one and it worked but still was doing same thing. I disconnected the...

    Rear Climate Control

    Been having an issue on my 03 Tahoe LT with the rear temperature control. It was stuck on cold and would not go warm. I ended up replacing the rear blend door actuator with a cheap aftermarket one. It worked for a while and then it stopped. I then replaced it with a doorman one and now I am...

    I have a local auto parts chain where I live called ABC Auto and they sell OEM/AC Delco. They charge a little more but that’s fine.

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    Had a quick question. I’ve been getting OEM/ACDelco parts on Amazon. I was told supposedly to stay away from Amazon with that because there are knock off companies that advertise them as OEM but they really are not.?

    Transmission Fluid/Filter

    So another issue I’m facing is finding the correct transmission filter. From what I understand I have the deep pan but the filter I pulled out is plastic on bottom and the new one is different shape and metal on the bottom. The one I took out looks like this one. Assuming this is the one I need...

    Transmission Fluid/Filter

    Currently replacing the rear main seal on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe 2wd with the 5.3. Decided while I am at it just going to change out the transmission fluid and filter. I am a little conflicted on a couple things. I want to stick with OEM filter and fluid but I am seeing different types of OEM...

    Rear Main Seal OEM or Felpro

    With the centering tool I am seeing a few and also seeing a couple different methods in installing the new rear main seal. I’ve seen some where they install the seal into the plate with it out of engine and ones where they put the plate back on and then use the centering tool and then torture...

    Because it’s a totally different topic. It’s about OEM vs aftermarket parts for this job.

    Rear Main Seal OEM or Felpro

    For my 03 Tahoe 2wd with the 5.3 I’m a bit conflicted on what brand I should get for the rear main seal and retainer gasket. I tend to want to stick OEM especially in a job this big but others are telling me Felpro brand is just as good if not better. I’ve got a local parts place here selling...

    Replacing Rear Main Seal

    I have an 03 Chevy Tahoe 2wd with the 5.3. I am fixing to resolve the rear main seal soon. My question is what all parts am I going to need? So far I see a gasket and the rear main seal. Should I replace any other parts in there while I am at it having the transmission off?

    Ran low on oil

    It’s my next project. It’s going to sit until I can get started on it in a week or two. Would this explain why it was running rough at idle like it wanted to stall out?

    Ran low on oil

    So I discovered my rear main seal needed to be replaced. It had plenty of oil the other week but today when I got home, the engine was chugging like it was going to die, almost like if it was running out of fuel, and I could smell a slight burning smell. I looked under it and saw oil dripping...

    P0174 and P0171

    I have an 03 Tahoe with the 5.3 Flex Fuel engine. Check engine light came on today and it is throwing a P0174 and P0171 code. A few weeks ago I checked the fuel pressure and it was as follows and with what I have found is below spec. I was lead to check this because when it gets low on fuel it...

    Bose Amplifier

    I have an 03 Tahoe with the Bose system. The current amplifier on mine is tweaking out. There are times I start the vehicle after it sits all night and no door chime or any radio sound and then once you’re driving a while all of a sudden it kicks on. I see a lot of used amplifiers for sale, but...

    Transmission output shaft seal/bearing

    The ones I watched had a transfer case but figured it was similar. From what I gather the shaft should slide out and the seal just pops out with a screwdriver. Do you have a link to a video?
