    A/C issue after fixing HVAC doors

    I feel like I need to start this by saying the only knowledge I have on A/C systems is from what I've figured out along the way of fixing issues on my vehicles. I'm going to try to put as much info here that I can about this issue. Also, to preface this story, the A/C blew ice cold before the...

    4l80e shifting out of overdrive

    My dad has a 1997 K2500 5.7/80E, uses it mainly as a plow truck but takes really good care of it, it's his pride and joy. It has had an issue for this and last winter where you'll just be driving it and it will shift out of overdrive into 3rd. It seems like there is nothing obvious causing this...

    2000 K2500 with FF rear end, brake issue while plowing

    I was out for around 15 hours plowing last night. Noticed about 8 hours in that the back brakes would lock up with even the slightest application of the brake pedal, as well as squeal just before I came to a stop but only in reverse. It didn't do it all the time, but I'd notice when I was...

    Heater Mode Door issue/questions

    I was out plowing in my 2000 K2500, it was like plowing fresh concrete. It was a rough night with plenty of jolting/jerking since it was like plowing fresh concrete. Around 8 hours in I noticed my little toesies were getting cold but I could hear the blower motor screaming. I was getting like 5%...

    2000 K2500 trans cooler questions

    2000 k2500 plow truck 4L80E, trying to hook back up the radiator trans cooler after bypassing it in hopes that it was the cause of the high temps before replacing the entire radiator. It wasn't, so now I want to hook the cooler lines back into the radiator since I added a Derale cooler with fan...

    2000 k2500 CV shafts... Replace?

    I am replacing my front pads/rotors/calipers/hoses/UCAs/all ball joints in the front. I figured while I'm here, I'd see if RockAuto has Delco CV axles. They don't. This took me down the rabbit hole that I seem to always fall down. These shafts were not clicking or making noise before I pulled...

    Issues on two GMT400 plow trucks, 350/80E and 454/80E

    I've posted this in a few different places now but haven't found much help, figured I'd post it here. My dad and I have two GMT400s that we plow with, his is a 98 k2500 350/80E and mine is a 2000 k2500 454/80E. We both noticed that ever since last year plowing, when you've worked the trucks...

    2000 k2500 shift lever won't fully engage into 1st on the dash

    Hey all. I noticed a few months ago that my 2000 k2500 plow truck seems like it won't fully engage into 1st according to the light under the 1 on the dash and just the feeling of the lever the shift cable is brand new and the trans just got rebuilt a few days ago (for other reasons). When I pull...

    Quality replacement 9003 pigtail/connector replacement options

    Good evening all. Just curious if anyone can recommend a good quality 9003 replacement harness/connector for my dad's 1998. His passenger side is old and flickers when he hits a bump, then goes dim and bright again. I want to replace it but all of the reviews of the ones that I'm reading on...

    Normal operating temp for 4L80E in a plow truck?

    I have a 2000 k2500 regular cab with a 454/4L80E in it. This is my first year plowing with it. I noticed that during the first snow, once I got rolling with it, the trans would kind of hesitate once you put it in reverse and gradually pressed the gas pedal. It would do this until about 5-10 mph...

    Extended crank time and A/C question

    Hey all. I just got a 2000 K2500 454 from my dad with 160k on it. Truck is in great shape. Ever since he's owned it (probably 8+ years now), it takes a long time to start when it's warmed up. If it's cold, it cranks right up. If you let it warm up, turn it off, and try to start it, it probably...

    Really stupid question about dual exhaust pipe sizes

    Good morning everyone. I was thinking the other day about dual exhaust tubing sizes and HP gain/loss. I've googled this a few times and mostly get people with race cars and open headers saying how the smaller the tubing size, the more restrictive it is. This is obviously true for high HP...

    4L60E smoking when towing

    First off, I thought I posted this issue here before but if I did, I can't find it. 97 2 door Tahoe, 4x4, info is in my sig. I had the trans built by a reputable builder near me. My rebuild receipt says: 5 pinion R. Planet street shift kit Corvette servo Kevlar band Beast sunshell HD Z pack 8...

    WTB: Tahoe/Suburban tailgate

    As close to southeast Michigan as possible. I'll drive pretty far if it's a dark cherry metallic in near perfect condition. Speaking of... If you have any other color that is dent/rust free with minimal scratches, post up pics and name your price. I'm looking for one. I had a guy on Facebook...

    Does a 1997 Tahoe 4L60E have a temp sensor?

    Long story short... I'm trying to get Torque Pro to show me the trans temp of my Tahoe via a bluetooth OBDII device. It shows it in the Dashcommand app, but not Torque Pro. I read somewhere that it will not show due to me not having a trans temp sensor, but I'm wondering why it shows in...

    6an lines/fittings for trans coolers

    Last year, I added a second aux trans cooler in-line with the stock radiator and aux cooler (4l60e). I just tapped into the lines that went into the radiator with rubber hose, a few barbs, and hose clamps. It was a quick thing, as I was taking the truck to the sand dunes that weekend. Before I...

    Long center console that's burgundy?

    I'm trying to figure out what "long" center console that I can try to find that came in burgundy. I'd like one to replace my current one (97 2 door tahoe), but that goes up further towards the dash for more storage. I don't really want to dye it, I'd rather find a burgundy one to match the rest...

    What can I expect to pay for this paint/body work?

    I know it's going to greatly vary from region to region. I'm in southeast Michigan. I have a 97 2 door Tahoe that I'd like to get the rockers replaced, as well as a small rust spot above the passenger side rear wheel (Not through, but there is a rust spot), and a new used tailgate painted to...

    Accessing roof rack mounting holes from interior

    Hey everyone. I have a 97 2 door Tahoe. Long story short, my kayak ripped the bolts out of the roof on the driver's rear bracket. I lost the bracket, and am now left with two gaping holes. At first, I was just going to buy the rubber well nuts for the rear one, buy a replacement, and put it...
