    What cartridges need for Mt2500 (red brick)

    Would you happen to have a picture of what those might look like? Would I need to verify from whoever I buy it from that the primary cartridge has been updated, or is it something that "is what it is" and wouldn't have been updated? Is the k9 identity key a cartridge as well? I think that I...

    What cartridges need for Mt2500 (red brick)

    I have a Snap On Mt2500, referred to as the red brick. I also have a 1999 Suburban 5.7 4x2. I'm curious what cartridges I would need in order to work with my suburban. Will one cartridge do everything I need, such and reading and clearing codes, setting the timing, etc? Thanks,

    Code P0161 after Intake Gasket

    I'm not sure if these are related, but how close they are makes it seem suspect. I just replaced the intake manifold gaskets on my 99 Suburban 5.7. My wife just drove the Suburban on about a 300 mile trip. When she got back and we got in the service engine light came on. She said it hadn't...

    Can't Find Antifreeze Leak

    I'm not sure if super simple is an adjective I'd use, but then again this was my first time and taking pictures and figuring everything out was very time consuming for me. I'm used to older cars without so many foreign and "scary" electronics. And metric bolts??? What are we, terrorists??? I...

    Enought RTV on front of intake?

    Hello, I just bolted the intake back on my '99 Suburban 5.7 after replacing the intake gaskets. The kit came with RTV. I thought I had some more but I didn't and the tube really didn't have enough to do the job with as much as I thought it needed. I didn't have time to run and get more...

    Manifold Port Question w/pictures

    Since this rear area is so prone to leaking could one weld the hole shut in the head, rather than sealing it with the gasket and intake and solve the problem once and for all?

    Manifold Port Question w/pictures

    Thanks, I'm glad to hear it. What was the purpose of casing those ports if they aren't used. My guess was multiple application uses.

    Manifold Port Question w/pictures

    Hello all, I'm in the process of changing the intake manifold on my 1999 Suburban, 5.7 4x2. It was leaking at the passenger rear. I expected to find a coolant port here, but when I removed the intake I noticed there's no hole here in the intake. Also, I noticed that the intake has two holes...

    Can't Find Antifreeze Leak

    Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I had this same leak two weeks ago, replaced the quick disconnect with a standard fitting and then found another puddle under the Suburban this morning. Apparently it's the intake this time. I think I'm going to flush the coolant system out and...

    Can't Find Antifreeze Leak

    Thanks for the tip. I was afraid of that possibility. From what I've read, the MS98000T is the preferred gasket set to go with. Are there any other typical problems that I should address since I'll already have the intake off?

    Can't Find Antifreeze Leak

    Hello all, My 99 Suburban (5.7, 4x2) has an antifreeze leak I can't seem to find. It comes down off of the dust cover. I can trace it up the passenger side rear of the engine. I think it may be coming from over the top of the valve cover, between the valve cover and intake, but I'm not for...

    99 Sub. 3rd brake light: how to diagnose

    Hello, I have a 99 Suburban that we've had for about a year (our first '99 burned to the ground last year). The 3rd brake light hasn't worked on this one since we've had it. I'm curious where to start diagnosing this problem and what the process is to figure this out. Thanks, Brandon
