    Hey this sounds awesome, but where do I find a set of headers with the air provisions, can’t find them!

    New Head Unit, no audio. HELP!

    Okie Dokie boys, thanks for all the help… In hind sight I should have just bought the wiring adapter, this would have saved me a few days and lots of head scratching. The issue is that there are two grey wires in the stock harness that do very different things. One is the “+ LF speaker” wire...

    New Head Unit, no audio. HELP!

    I've been through the stock Stereo harness diagram backward and forwards. Touching wires together randomly has a very low chance of stuff breaking btw. Before anything else, a fuse will go out before the magic Smoke decides to pop its head out :p. Anyways I think I need to buy the harness and do...

    New Head Unit, no audio. HELP!

    I made the decision to replace my stock head unit with a BOSS Audio BCPA9. Note, all the audio worked perfectly fine I installed the head unit my self and routed all the wiring... almost. I got the speakers connected, Battery power, accessory power, and ground, all the speakers are connected and...

    How does one remove the electric AIR system in a 1998 Tahoe?

    This is going to be useful for not only me but for anyone who wants to replace the headers on their truck. Let me clarify, this is not a belt-driven AIR pump. There are plenty of threads that explain the benefits and solutions. The air pump sits in a battery mount directly opposite the battery...

    What are these? And why cant I find aftermarket headers with these?

    I drive a 1998 Chevy Tahoe 4D LT with the L31 350 (5.7). I'm looking to do a complete exhaust replacement, but the headers is where I'm finding most of my issues. I have these tubes that connect to the stock manifolds, I've included pictures below. There is a port in the front of the manifolds...

    Do I really need the EGR ports? How would I do without em?

    I drive a 98 Tahoe, the L31 Vortec 350, when trying to figure out what the tubing running through BOTH of the manifolds the only answer I could find was that they were EGR. I might be completely wrong. If I am wrong, what the heck are they? Can I run headers without them without a check engine...

    Do I really need the EGR ports? How would I do without em?

    I'm looking to replace my headers, and well, everything back. I've noticed though when poking around that there are EGR ports on the stock manifolds, but hardly any aftermarket headers with EGR ports. How would I go about installing headers and getting rid of the EGR?

    I am looking to Turbocharge my 98 Tahoe, How should I prepare my engine, what mods do I need/would be recommended.

    I would have to disagree, just adding 200 horsepower, for a total of 450-500 ish. Would be exactly what I'm looking for. would I be able to compete with a REALLY fast truck? No, but it would but me faster than most cars on the roads. A Turbo project would give me around 200 horsepower, which...

    Take it over mountain passes skiing, camping, road trips, and gap other trucks on the streets.

    I am looking to Turbocharge my 98 Tahoe, How should I prepare my engine, what mods do I need/would be recommended.

    Hey Man, I appreciate the advice. I'll be sure to check him out. The thing is, however, I'm in no position financially to drop that kind of money/time on an engine swap. This is kind of a cheap and shortcut way for more power, and I'm just wanting to see if it will be safe or not. While I agree...

    I daily drive currently but want to make it a sportier truck for taking to the mountains on weekends, that's the main goal.

    I am looking to Turbocharge my 98 Tahoe, How should I prepare my engine, what mods do I need/would be recommended.

    Honestly, 500 Would be plenty, this is more of a project to upgrade the Tahoe, give it more spice, and get some experience. Do I need more power? No... But then again who needs a 1000 HP supra? I want to take this car over the passes on the weekends for skiing and through the mountains for...
