    Rebuilt engine, low(er) pressure.

    So, I hit the 250k mark and had to rebuild the engine because I cracked a head and melted a piston. I finally had the funds to put it together and the first time I was getting low pressure, around 40 cold and 10 when warm. The rockers were also not getting oil. I took the engine apart again...

    Engine rebuilt but low pressure and knocking.

    I just rebuilt the engine in my 99 Tahoe and when I went to prime the engine it was only showing 40 psi and no oil was coming out of the pushrods. There was also alot of air bubbles in the air and it the pump was making a gurgaling sound. I swapped out the new oil pump I installed with the...

    4L60E torque converter replacement.

    I am replacing the TC on my 99 Tahoe and I noticed there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the flexplate and the TC mounting holes. I can get it flush when I tighten the bolts, but I don't remember a gap. I felt the three jumps when I installed it on the trans so I was seated but doesn't feel...

    Unused York 210 compressor with dual v-belt clutch and rotolock heads. $100 obo

    I have a York 210 that I was going to install on my Tahoe but was given a nice pair of electric compressors that I am using now. I was planning on using this for onboard air since I had a handyman business and always needed a lot of air for tools, but this is no longer the case. This...

    Sway bar screwed?

    Does anyone know of a way to test the rear sway bar? I think mine is shot. I noticed a few years ago that the rear of my Tahoe seemed to sway when looking in the rear view when hitting slight bumps and going above 40. I also noticed that there was a honking sound comming from the back when...

    Disabling Steering Wheel and Shifter Lock, Voice Activated Start Plans in Progress...

    I want to disable the steering wheel and shifter lock on my 99 Tahoe for a custom remote start system I am working on. I am not to worried about anti-theft not working because there is no one in my area that would take a second look at my vehicle and if they wanted it it would be easy to take...

    Pneumatic Starter

    Anyone ever put any thought into making or converting one for a SBC? There are plenty for diesel engines and there must be some way to make one for a gas engine. I think this would be useful in a truck that has a York compressor and an air tank. The compressor already makes mad amounts of...

    G-Oil?

    Anyone have experience with G-Oil? I know of a few people around here that swear by it. I am all about anything American made since I will sit at the parts store looking for the label, but I don't know if I want to take the plunge from M1. Engine oil is too important to be worried about where...

    Tahoe rear suspension sag?

    I replaced the rear springs on my Tahoe because they looked fatigued. They looked like they were bending in the opposite direction. I ordered new ones from RockAuto and installed them a few weeks ago. The truck rides better and a lot of the sway is gone, but the springs look completely flat...

    DO NOT USE E-15!!!

    When the car manufacturers and AAA say that E-15 is bad for your car and can void the warranty, you know there is something wrong with it. http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2000862202001/ If your vehicle is not flex-fuel capable, do not use it! If you don't know, don't use it! When at a...

    Disconnected MAF, recipe for disaster?

    Well, for the last year my 'hoe has been driving weird. It felt like it was dragging. I changed all of my fluids and felt a little change, but not much. Plus, I was getting horrible gas mileage, around 12. I disconnected my MAF last week when I cleaned my air filter and forgot to reconnect...

    99 Tahoe timing cover replacement, can't use synthetic now?

    I have a '99 Tahoe that I rebuilt the engine on last summer. When I put the engine back together I did not notice the misalignment of the stupid rimming cover with the block and now there is a huge leak ( 2 drops / second) coming from the cover. I was told to remove the cover and reinstall it...

    Don't waste the $50 for a B&M or $120 for a TCI electronic shift improver.

    My neighbor bought the B&M version of the electronic shift kit. I tested the box with an ohm meter and found out that it is just a set of overly expensive resistors. Position one read around 27 ohms and position two read at 5.6 ohms. After looking at the instructions and the 411 swap sheet...

    When it rains it pours. Time for an engine rebuild.

    Why is it that whenever a vehicle is running its best it is a sign of trouble? I was driving to Ft. Belvoir last Wednesday when my 99 Tahoe started to make an annoying rattling noise. I thought it was maybe just bad gas or a knocking lifter. So being the idiot I sometimes am I tried to...

    411 swap questions

    Just wondering what style gauges the vehicles with the 411 ecm have. They don't by any chance have one with the information center on it? You can see where I am going here.

    Wrong LCA?

    So, I just received the new LMC magazine in the mail. So as always I thumbed through the pages to see what outrageous prices I could find. That is when I noticed something in the front suspension section. It shows there being two different LCA's for the 4X4 Tahoes. One is a stamped metal...

    STS on a L31 with 170,000 miles

    Does anyone think this is a bad idea to do and not rebuild the engine? The engine runs perfectly and I have never had any problems with it. (where is that plank of wood at?) It has even ate 3 transmissions. I am going with the old saying if its not broken don't fix it. Of course I will...

    So, here is a project I have been kinda brainstorming for the last few years. If there are any electrical engineers out there interested and would like to jump in on this project let me know. It is not limited to just our vehicles! I had a Viper remote start for my vehicle. You know, the...
