Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Oh shit, hope the trans didn’t get damaged. So you stopped right away, that should have saved it. Double clamp it, and check on it by pulling on the hose to try and separate it or add a flair like others have said.

Done and done. Trans fluid has really gone up in price.

First thing that came to mind.

Damn, I was trying to go back to sleep since it’s 1:30 am here and now I got that song stuck in my head. So I’ll bet you might end up with it in your head too @Tonyrodz. Guess we’ll both be singing the same song at one point this morning. Hope you have a great day Tony!

Oh man, just seeing this. Almost 9 pm here. Had a long 12 hr day at work today--again. Hope your day was better then mine was Mark.

A new issue popped up with my 03. When stepping on the brake pedal to stop, the pedal slowly goes to the floor. Letting up and then stepping on it again the pedal feels normal, then again slowly goes to the floor. There's vacuum going to the black canister that's bolted to the booster. Also my abs AND brake lights are lit on the dash--but it's been like that for months. Brake fluid level is good. The pedal issue is new. Any ideas or clues?

Master cylinder took a poop...

I thought it might've been the booster, but was told no. Thanks for the quick reply @George B .

Leave the lines attached and unbolt the master cylinder from the booster and pull away and see if you see WET. If you do, that fluid is leaking out the back, BUT, the master cylinder CAN take a poop by bypassing internally and never leak out the back. I do agree with @George B
