    Gas tanks

    Dual tank set-up? 2-dr Tahoe tank in place of spare tire? Aux tank/truck box in bed?

    Can anybody identify this?

    The only remedy I've run across is cutting it off and replacing it with a bolt-on clamp. This route enables you to leave everything intact while doing the modification. They keep the leaves aligned so you don't end up with silly axle wrap while drag racing your buddies...

    do any of the the cold air intakes work?

    I do like the reusable feature. I run my Airaid with a prefilter (in AZ) and it holds up pretty well between cleanings. My 'Hoe is left stock, so as soon as I find a swarm of bees in the airbox I'll replace...

    Clear Tail Lights

    APC carried them and promptly discontinued. Disclaimer on box said they could not be utilized on road-driven vehicles. Pretty much unapproved in all 50 by DOT. I had clears on my stepside and I loved the look, but when I had the lights on they looked like a magenta or rich pink color. If DOT...

    do any of the the cold air intakes work?

    A little larger filter surface area is about it. A little gain in the amount of air being pulled into the motor. I have an Airaid intake with no box that I put in years ago because it looked cool. Wouldn't do it again. A paper Fram filter will do a better job at filtering the air and only high...

    LS Swap 65 Bel Air

    DIY dudes with sick talent can build cars like that for half the asking price. Point being, ever since all these auction companies went big time, every ******* with a pre-1970 vehicle thinks they're sitting on gold bullion. Eff your rusty '67 'Stang "Eleanor", it's worth $2500 in Indiana circa...

    LS Swap 65 Bel Air

    If it weren't for Barret Jackson, you could pick up that car for $12,000...

    Plus size tires?

    1999 Tahoe, 4wd, no lift, running the OEM sawblade alloys. What's the largest tire you could install without rubbing? I have a mismatched set of tires on it from previous owner and want to run BFG Rugged Terrains. The Long Trails are a bit too timid and I don't want the cost and road noise from...

    Inaccurate Gas gauge

    What if the gas gauge needle has a wicked shimmy to it while the vehicle is running? That's what I'm seeing. It reads accurate, but looking at it while it's having a seizure at a rave is bugging me...

    Locking console latch

    The console on my '99 Tahoe has the latch completely missing. No biggie, but I like the lockable Tuffy consoles. They're ugly as sin, but it's a farkin' safe in between your seats. You'll also lose out on cup holder option for your rear passengers. I still may go that route or build a one-off...

    sun visor swings out

    I know older ones have a spring loaded nut, maybe nylon threaded. You would have to remove the visor and check the guts to see if it needs to be tightened...

    compass mirror broke?

    I picked up a Tahoe a couple weeks ago and mine is out of whack, too. Direction is never right. I've never tinkered with one before and mine only has the temp in Celsius. I don't mind doing the calculation, but I also don't think it's worth replacing. May just pick up a black anodized Bowtie...

    1999 Chevy Tahoe LT

    Picked up this 'Hoe in Phoenix this weekend. Needed to go bigger for a growing family and wanted 4wd capability. Bone effin' stock, not even a dash mat or tow hitch. What to do? Still have the step-side, btw...

    1989 Service Engine Soon lamp issue

    O2 sensors seem to be the culprit. Same deal here. Light came on and off several times over the course of a few months. No codes thrown. Replaced sensors, back to normal. For... Now...

    Sad day and slighlty wrong feeling

    Comanches are pretty cool and strangely coveted, if they're in good shape. In AZ it's hard to find a nice one for under $5000. I owned one for about a year and the options for building a fun little off-road rig that can be driven daily are sky-high. Replacement parts and aftermarket is robust...

    Factory Stereo / Tape plus CD slave player

    I'll send you a six-pack of your favorite beer for the little bass control knob! Mine popped off while adjusting, deflected off my glasses and went out the driver side window. I was a bit more upset than anyone should have been with that situation...

    New parts! Should I color match?

    I say do it, and it looks like you already did your license plate mount. Also looks like you have the same body color as I do. I'm going to look for a shop that can color match some bedliner so I can have them shoot up my valance, bumper plastic, and step pads. Need to save some $ beforehand...

    how to justify another vehicle?

    Why not invest the money intended for vehicle number two into your truck? If you have a 2k budget for another vehicle, you could dump $1500 into your truck and set aside the other $500 and start up a AAA account or save it in case the truck blows a tire, shreds a belt, drops a driveshaft, etc...

    Engine Stuttering and RPM Dives...

    A couple vacuum leaks and a severed PCV hose. Double face-palming myself for not seeing it, or even listening for it. PCV hose had split so perfectly the tech could only see the damage while the engine was running. Tech didn't document engine code, but the truck runs great again. Stupid problem...

    Engine Stuttering and RPM Dives...

    Haven't taken it to anyone to see what code is being thrown. Could be unrelated, but who knows. The truck is going to the shop today, as I am tight on time and patience to tweak with it myself. Thanks guys!

    Engine Stuttering and RPM Dives...

    1997 Chevy C1500 RCSB 5.7L auto: Applying brake to slow to a stop, right after truck comes to a stop engine loses rpm's and stutters then idles normally. Accelerating from stop, engine stutters again then gets back on track once past 5 to 10mph. Problem has been getting worse for about three...

    opinion on full phantom gmc grille

    I didn't think recessing the lights was needed. I thought the grill shell protruded a bit more and the metal grill inserts were cut away on the back side once they ran across the lights. I like the look, super clean.

    How long have you owned your GMT400 !

    Used insurance check from stolen '92 to buy my '97. It had 7 miles on the odometer when I picked it up after prep. It is an AZ truck, but has made appearances between British Columbia and all the way down and over to Florida. Hit 203k last week...

    Sponsor adds in participated?

    And in other creepy news... Before I log in on a PC, the ads that show up are for sites or products I've browsed recently. Big brother, and his whole high school football team is watching. Well played, Internet Explorer.
