    Not much air out of vents

    Having just dropped in a new motor, I went through and replaced all of the components of the a/c system and had it all charged it, it blows nice and cold in the 30's out of the vents now. However it takes a LONG time to cool down the inside of the truck on a hot day, like rediculously long...

    Place to pass wiring through firewall without drilling metal?

    Having trouble finding a DIY on this, I'm adding some wiring for indicator lights for my electric fan operation and manual switch, and likely a power lead for my inverter. Usually I can just follow somebody's big fat stereo wire install DIY and be good to go. But everything I'm seeing for...

    Stupid question re: exhaust tip on stock tailpipe

    Just welded the stock tailpipe onto the magnaflow muffler on my truck to get rid of the stupid turndown pipe drone. Now it sounds great but the stock tailpipe looks ugly. I'm looking to buy a stainless or chrome slash cut tip to throw on to dressup the stock tailpipe. At the very edge as near...

    Door roller pins

    Where is a good place I can buy these? My passenger door's roller pin is bent causing it to "POP" when shutting the door as it doesn't roll smooth anymore, the hinge pins and latches etc all seem fine as the door opens and closes fine otherwise and doesn't seem to sag any. Unfortunately I...

    Safe to drop rearend and re-use hardware?

    I'd like to drop my rearend to swap my catback so I don't have to cut the stock one incase I want to switch back to using it. Would it be safe to undo the u-bolts to drop the rear and then put it all back together when done, or should they be replaced if loosened?

    vortec 350 component or wiring harness schematic?

    I'm finishing up a crate motor install and fired the truck up on the new engine yesterday but I have some concerns with the routing of some of the wiring harnesses, specifically the bundle with a little metal bracket that sits near the starter motor on the passenger side, it looks like that...

    do you have a 2dr tahoe with turndown after muffler?

    If so, how loud is it in the cab? I have a custom stainless magnaflow dual in / single out catback with a turndown on it that would put the dump what looks like pretty close to the rear axle on my 2dr tahoe 4x4. I'm worried there would be a ton of interior drone/resonance especially at...

    2dr crate motor swap

    Picked up a new engine for my stupid tahoe and dropped it in. Crate engine with 2500 miles, came with an airaide intake, gibson headers, and full stainless magnaflow midpipe + catback. Cool story, bought it out of the "Overhaulin'" 1996 2dr Tahoe, so I guess the new engine in my POS is kind...

    5 people in the truck, went up the grade by my house into the next city, going 70mph, it downshifted to 3rd, then began to free rev until ~4k rpm, then 2nd gear hit. As soon as it tried to shift out of 2nd into 3rd again, it free rev's. Had the truck towed home, tranny fluid was below the...

    Hello

    Joined up looking for tech info and used parts for the wife's 'new' truck. ~6 years ago it belonged to my brother and it began swallowing coolant into the oil pan. He replaced the intake gaskets twice because of how common they seemed to cause this but still the same problem after short...

    I've been going over everything on my truck as I just got it back on the road after it sat for 6 years. it has some play in the steering going down the road, maybe 4" of play at center before it changes direction of the truck. I know the pitman and idler arms are common to go out, but I don't...
