The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

[Fbell17]

I didnt really know where this was supposed to go. And I kinda felt stupid asking, so I figured it might as well go in here. I want more power for cheap. I have a horrible job and get 10 mpg. so most of my money goes to gas. But I would like to get some relativly cheap upgrades to give me a little more power. I was thinking cold air intake? any other ideas are appreciated. thanks in advance

Resonator removal, just take the lid off of the air filter. And get a better filter, oil-free high flow are the best I hear. It probably won't be noticeable but idk you can try it lol.

A couple things. 1) My steering wheel squeaks/rubs when turned? Idk, weird problem. 2) I have a 4dr, is there any way to make the rear windows go down any more? 3) Where can I find vanity mirrors/sun visors to fit this? Will they come off of any other year/model or do I need to get the same GMT400 style? I know, all minor things, but it's the small things in life that piss me off.

1. Dorman #31025 - Steering wheel position sensor. My Suburban does the same thing, and I've learned to ignore it!

2. Truck, Tahoe, or Suburban?

3. In the junkyard. All the GMT400's after 95 for sure, dunno about the earlier interior.

Thanks, and it's a Tahoe

I believe the reason the window will only go down so far on a tahoe is due to the door shape in regards to the fender. It gets too narrow for the window to fit in the lower part of the door. If thats not right I'm sure someone will correct me.

I just looked at it, and yeah, that seems about right.

This. No room for the window to go down any further. My Suburban, however...
