Rhino lined rocker panels

I like the liner much better than the chrome rocker trim, which I personally think is hideous on every vehicle I've ever seen it on, and I'm once again thinking about doing this on my white Tahoe. I'm also curious as to how thick you applied it? Tom

muffler ticket

It's kind of funny to hear that someone in Minnesota got a ticket for not having a muffler, since I swear at least 50% of the cars here are so rusted that their exhaust systems have long since fallen off. There's nothing quite like driving down the road and playing muffler hockey with some...

Fuel Pump Fiasco

Depending upon how old your fuel pump is, you may also have to do a little wire splicing, as most of the replacement pumps you can get now have a revised plug that you'll need to wire up. If you do have to do this, do NOT do what the shop that replaced my Tahoe's fuel pump did (previous owner...

Wiper problems on 93...

Keep the old board around and re-solder the connections, if you're up for that sort of thing, as these boards seemingly go bad at random. In my old '91 the board went bad seemingly every six months to a year for three years, then we must have finally gotten a good one because it was fine for...

New to the forum, but not fullsize Chevy's.

Thanks guys. So far this Tahoe has been doing a great job of nickel and dime-ing me to death, but for as cheap as I picked it up, I can't really complain too much. My friend sold it off as though it would never drive again, and I had it back on the road (albeit, temporarily) the next day. Now...

exhaust cut out??

I've been in the same situation, and I've run cut-outs in the past with middling success. A cut-out will indeed be louder, and will certainly sound mean at part- and full-throttle, but very seldom do they sound very good at idle or cruising without a big cam to rough-up the idle (if you place...

Am I crazy??????

I've seen a few Cummins swaps in person, and the general consensus from the guys I've spoken to is that you'll probably want to toss a little more metal on the frame of the 1/2 tons to compensate for the added weight of the diesel, as well as the torsion bars you've already mentioned. Good...

Lite up OBS!

There are a lot of Jeep guys who run small LED lights recessed into certain spots for rock lights so that they can wheel at night. During the day you can hardly see them, but at night they throw a good amount of light. Here are a few examples...

New to the forum, but not fullsize Chevy's.

My name is Tom and I'm another transplant from GMFS and FSC where I used to be fairly active when I had my 2001 2500HD and my 2005 2500HD Duramax. When I sold my HD's and picked up my Jeep, I sort of bowed out of the forums for a while, but I just recently purchased a dirt-cheap 1997 Tahoe from...

Will Vortec Heads work with my 92 TBI intake?

You will need a new intake manifold to bolt to the Vortec heads, something like the GM Performance 12496821 intake manifold, designed for just this purpose, as the Vortec heads only have eight holes to bolt the intake to the heads. You may also need to address the EGR, should you need to keep...
