Can anybody verify for me which transmission fluid line connection on the transmission end is for intake and which is for output, as well as the oil cooler lines. I know for the radiator it goes in through the top one and comes out the bottom one, but I want to make sure I don't have it mixed up...- will

Well guys its been a while but I'm on spring break now and finally have time to work on the truck. I picked up an engine at a local salvage yard and I'm about to drop it in today. I noticed it was missing something on the back of the intake manifold that my original had. Here's a pic of the...- will

Oh and another thing, will I have to leave the transfer case on or can I unbolt it from the transmission? I'm just not exactly sure how everything is connected in there.- will

Nope I've been way too busy. I've decided I'm probably going to have to pull the transmission out with it, unless somebody has a better idea.- will

So just to be clear you are referring to the rear axle and differential, right? Sorry I'm new to these terms. Is the 14 bolt a 3/4 ton axle? and does the differential have the same gear ratio? Also about how much would all these cost? I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should go with a...- will

just bought my fist tahoe
I would love to get a 383 crate but realistically I only have about $2000 more I can spend on the truck, and if I get anything more powerful I'll need some of that money for a better tranny. Best case I'm hoping I can find a rolled suburban 2500 or 3/4 ton truck from the early 90's at a junk...- will

But doesn't the flywheel turn with the engine, so if the engine is locked up it wouldn't turn?- will

Thats what I was thinking, but it seems like I will need to be able to rotate the engine in order to gain access to each bolt. Or would it be possible to somehow use a box-end wrench?- will

After spending all day on it I've almost managed to get the engine out. Everything is disconnected and out of the way except the transmission, which I'm not really sure how to disconnect. I can see that the 6 bolts holding the bellhousing to the engine will have to come off, but how do I...- will

Haha yeah I have a feeling I'll be getting a new engine. If I could find a 454 how much harder would it be to put that in? I know I would need to get the 4l80e transmission as well.- will

Alright guys I'll post some pictures when I go home this weekend. I think one of my buddies is comin over Saturday and we're just going to spend all day taking this thing apart.

Well I took a look under the valve cover this morning and there is quite a bad sludge problem. The valves are all but completely buried. I'll be back home this afternoon after class so I'll see if I can figure anything out. As you can probably tell I don't have very much experience working on...- will

Ok so I finally got a chance to work on it this weekend. I took the battery, alternator and starter to advanced auto and I ended up needing a new battery. After I got everything back in I tried starting it but it just made a clunking sound like the engine just wouldnt turn over. I couldn't get...- will

Alright guys, so the guy I bought it from finally got around to towing it too my house, but it was so late I didn't have much time to do anything. I did try to jump it, and after letting it charge for a few minutes I tried to start it but it just made a clicking sound and all the interior lights...- will

Hey guys, I just bought a 95 tahoe for $800 off craigslist. It isn't running right now and the guy is having it towed to my house for me this morning. If I'm lucky it won't be anything major, but as I have no experience working on these trucks I was hoping to get some pointers on where I should...- will
