    Can someone name this color?

    Wow. Lot of different possibilities here. Thanks for all the thoughts. Never got a chance to ask the owner of the truck if I could see the tag in the glovebox.

    Garage door opener out of a 99 suburban

    Never ended up getting it to work. I believe I had it hooked up right but for some reason would never program.

    Can someone name this color?

    Looking for a “close enough” match to Smokey caramel metallic and I think I found it on a newer truck. Can’t find the name of the color though. Anyone recognize it?

    Jb5 to jb7 front brake upgrade, part numbers?

    I’m looking to upgrade my front brakes to 2500/3500 calipers and get rid of the whole quick take up system. From what I understand, I’d need conventional calipers and a single bore MC. Does anyone have part numbers for the calipers and MC id need? Thanks.

    Garage door opener out of a 99 suburban

    Bought a garage door opener at the junkyard today and for some reason it won’t program. Holding the 2 outer buttons doesn’t do anything and the light stays solid. It has orange, black, and white wires. Any help would be appreciated

    Where can I find spray cans that match Smokey Caramel Metallic?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Might have to try that driftwood metallic and see how different it is. If it’s way off next stop is the paint supply store.

    Where can I find spray cans that match Smokey Caramel Metallic?

    My 97 2 door came from the factory with Smokey caramel metallic paint. I haven’t been able to find anything that matches in auto parts stores, so does anyone know of a close alternative or an exact match for somewhat cheap?

    Tuning subs, complete noob to car audio systems

    Thanks for the help. Think I have everything where I want it, and I’ll lower the 3 band eq so it stays proportional. As for what I want, I’m not really sure. I like “feeling” the song but it’d be pretty cool to be able to piss people off of I wanted. So from my understanding the amp isn’t...

    Tuning subs, complete noob to car audio systems

    I got my first subs, dual 12in MTX terminators with the terminator amp as well. Absolutely no clue how to tune these. I have an Alpine 133bt head unit. I don’t know how they’re supposed to sound, so it’s hard to set things right. What settings should I have on the head unit? I don’t know what...

    Cat broke off at front weld

    This is going to sound wild, but hear me out. Right now I have that car held in with a steel can cut in half and expanded to fit inside both pipes covered in exhaust paste and wrapped in aluminum tape. What if I replace the cat with a piece of pipe, then put the oxygen sensor in right next to...

    Cat broke off at front weld

    Trying to avoid buying a new cat. What would go wrong if I just deleted the whole thing?

    Cat broke off at front weld

    Picture pretty much tells the story. Was driving then all the sudden the truck straight piped itself. Any ideas to fix, other than welding? 1997 2dr Tahoe

    97 Tahoe 5.7 hard starting high idle

    That’s it! Replaced the ECT today and so far so good. Idle is back down, started fine hot and cold. My old one was reading -40°F with key on but not running and while running. Replaced it now I get a reading and seems to be running good. On another note, one of my monitors for inspection is also...

    97 Tahoe 5.7 hard starting high idle

    Would the coolant temp sensor reading wrong cause too much/too little fuel to go to the engine? It seems like it’s lean when it’s running but way too rich when I have to start hot, which is why I have to hold the pedal down

    97 Tahoe 5.7 hard starting high idle

    Can I check these with a scanner? I cleaned my iac and it didn’t seem to change anything. I also u plugged it and started the truck and everything was the same.

    97 Tahoe 5.7 hard starting high idle

    I have a scanner with a data stream but I’m not sure what the codes are supposed to read or what any of the values mean. When my foot is off the accelerator the tps reads 0. Does that mean it works?

    97 Tahoe 5.7 hard starting high idle

    Well a new problem made itself known today. Pulling out of the gas station my truck decided to shudder and stall right as I was starting to pull out into traffic. If I don’t let the truck idle for ~3 mins after starting even when it’s warm it stalls when I put it in gear. So my symptoms are...

    Gmt400 brakes-master cylinder upgrade, residual valves, disc/drum MC differences. So much confusion.

    Might try this later on. Is there a difference between the braided and SS brake hoses? I'm still using the ones from the factory with 225000 miles on them. Should probably replace.:rotflmao:

    Interesting about the fluid level as a pad wear indicator. Never thought of it like that.

    Gmt400 brakes-master cylinder upgrade, residual valves, disc/drum MC differences. So much confusion.

    So why is the reservoir for the rear drums smaller? In the stock QTU master if I remember right the small front part of the reservoir that holds less fluid routes to the rear. Wouldn’t it make sense that the larger reservoir would go to the rears since they require more fluid? Thanks for all...

    Gmt400 brakes-master cylinder upgrade, residual valves, disc/drum MC differences. So much confusion.

    Ordered a Dorman M390259 master to try. It's supposed to be an "OEM style" replacement. I also noticed an M390257 master, which seems to be the same except with a 1.25 bore. Any benefits to the larger bore? I know larger bore=more fluid, less pressure, firmer pedal. Is the 1.25 master for...

    What exactly does this do? I tried a while ago having no idea what I was doing. From what I remember the pin wouldn't push down at all, and it pushed out when the pedal was pressed.

    Gmt400 brakes-master cylinder upgrade, residual valves, disc/drum MC differences. So much confusion.

    Do I have a combination valve? I thought that 4WAL ABS trucks didn't use one, and all of the proportioning was handled by the abs. Also, why do the drums require so much fluid? The wheel cylinders are much smaller than the front calipers. It also seems like my brake pedal firms up from the...
