    What is this?

    Hi there, here is the German noob with another strange question: while bolting on the new AC compressor I saw this strange piece of pipe coming out of the intake manifold right underneath the back end of the AC compressor. What is this and should there be some piece of tubing attached...

    Need help with connectors

    Hello, I bought a '96 Tahoe recently and now I'm trying to restore it as good as I can. The previous owner did some changes so I'm sometimes not sure about the wiring. I found two empty connectors in the engine bay, one near the MAF and intake air temperature sensor and the other near the fuse...

    Greetings from Germany...

    ...yes, that' in Europe. :) I recently bought a '96 Chevy Tahoe from a British guy. The car lacked quite some maintenance and love, so I try to rebuild it step by step as good as possible. Since I might need some tips here and there, I signed up to this forum. IMG_20190601_105905 by aball...
