    1994 G3500 - short bus

    Hey everyone! First off, this site has been crazy helpful since I bought my '96 Tahoe a couple years back. Thank you! My buddy and his family have a '94 G3500 short bus he's slowly converting over to a sorta-RV. We've installed aux batteries and an isolator and an inverter and a ton of other...

    New owner needing help!!!Please!!!

    All great advice. I'd add (kinda ties in with the driveshaft) is look at the u-joints. You're going to want to focus on things that are road speed dependent, like the previously mentioned wheels/tires.

    soft brake pedal

    When I bought my '96 Tahoe the pedal felt terrible. Everyone told me, "hey, they just suck". Well, the master was leaking a bit so I replaced it. And then I bled and bled and bled. I used a pressurized bleeder AND a scan tool to actuate the control valves for the ABS. I bet used a gallon of...

    Colorado Registration Fees

    I moved from Seattle a few years ago, and I assure you, Colorado is NOT the new Kaliforniastan. Some of the new rules and regulations may be annoying, but it's nothing like 30 or so other states subject people to.

    Wont Stay Idle/Running

    If you don't disconnect any fluid lines, then no. Sometimes you can unbolt the master from the booster and sneak the booster out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wont Stay Idle/Running

    Even if you can't hear it, my guess is that's what's going on. Unless someone here is aware of a more common problem on these trucks with those symptoms.

    Wont Stay Idle/Running

    Sounds like maybe the brake booster is leaking internally. When you go to hit the brakes it'll cause a big vacuum leak and cause the engine to stumble and die. While idling can you slowly depress it and hear any kind of hissing from inside the cab?

    Fuel pressure?

    Sorry for the delay, sick toddler. Alldata reads that key on, engine off the fuel pressure should read 56-62 psi.

    SAS Parts Checklist

    I have a question I haven't seen addressed much regarding SAS. I have a '96 Tahoe, 4 dr., 4WD and would like to stay with 6 lug and also keep my ABS. Is this possible? Is it possible with 8 lug?

    Fuel pressure?

    I thought it was 60-65 to start and then settled at 55? I'll check Alldata tomorrow if someone doesn't give you a real answer first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
