    Escalade Center Console - $150 Columbus, IN

    If it doesnt come with the correct HVAC ducting for the Escalades/Denalis then all the heat/AC that blows out the floor vents under the center of the dash will now just blow directly into this console.

    14 bolt swap question

    I am currently on the hunt for a 6 lug 14 bolt. Is the Dorman backing plate listed above the direct replacement for the GMT400 6 lug 14 bolts? What about axle seals? Id like to get all the parts I need locked down prior to pulling the trigger on a junkyard rear.

    Buying a Tech 2 Clone... Questions...

    Has anyone been able to use one of these tech2 scanners with a 0411 swapped ECM? I need a scanner to do the power bleed and set the CMP offset. I do not trust the apps and bluetooth devices for setting CMP. I think they are too slow.

    98 L31 vortec 0411 swap

    The 0411 must be reprogrammed in order to work correctly on your 98. I did this swap many years ago and used a guy by the name of Lextech I believe to program the ECM for me. There are a few things that get changed out and you will have to do a minor 1 or 2 wire modification under the hood. He...

    Misfire - Cylinder 4 - Check Engine Light at 55-60 MPH acceration under load

    FWIW, I chased a random misfire for a couple years. I could feel it while driving but it never set a light. Then, it got worse and was unlocking the converter around 2K RPMS while cruising on the highway Now, If I get the truck to 85mph, the light will flash until I back out of it. I have...

    96 Tahoe code P 0300

    Ya, chasing a random misfire can be a PITA. I tried everything on my 98 and nothing fixed it. Im just about confident that its a cracked head now. Hope yours is just something simple. If they do decide to change out the spider injection then make sure they use the new style one from Delphi or...

    Steering shaft slop

    I have a 98 and Im running a custom made U joint shaft from Derek Micheal. Not sure of his screen name here. It was a drop in and go shaft and works perfect. I am also running a Redhead steering box and my steering feels tight. Truck drives near perfect and it has a 6" lift with 20x9 wheels...

    Steering Box

    Get one from Redhead. All the other aftermarket ones are complete garbage and dont last long. You'll be changing it out in a year All the boxes should be the same for the 1500 series trucks. The 2500 series had a bigger housing. https://redheadsteeringgears.com/product/1997-1999-gm-suv-2/

    I really need to do a back flush on my 98. I have good heat but it always bothers me with the Dexcool. Just have to wait until it warms up a bit. Let me know where and when you go to a junkyard. I am looking for a few odds and ends. I usually hit up Pick N Pull in Johnston. There is also one in...

    Oil Pressure Needle

    The only way to correct this the correct way is to install a mechanical gauge and then reinstall the needle so it matches the reading on the mechanical gauge.

    Best bang for buck mods to wake up vortec

    A tune and a set of gears will wake up the Burb. I suggest NOT using a cheap China spider injection setup when you do your rebuild either. Spend the money and get a Delco/Delphi one. A lot of guys skimp out here and but the $85 ebay ones and quickly regret it.

    replacing the bulbs in the dash switches????

    Does anyone know the purpose and importance of the little blue condoms GM put over the small bulbs inside the switches on the dash? Do I need to reuse them? Do they just change the color tint or do they reduce heat around the plastic?
