    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    After replacing everything up front, especially the upper and lower a-arm bushings, the Tahoe sat too high in the front. The bushings most have been worn out for a while. Not sure what happened to the brightness on this picture. Oh well. The spacing from the top edge of the wheels to the...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    Had some more excitement the other day. Was cruising through Yuma Arizona on the way to Mesa and decided to stop off at Taco Bell to grab a burrito. As I am handing the kid at the window $4.00 all of the sudden the drivers side front drops and there it a huge bang. Lower ball joint came...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    So I was making my way back from a week at the office and in between Maricopa and Gila Bend I just happen to find a huge pot hole. Messed up the wheel to the point it would no longer hold air. The outside lip was not that bad. I could see the shop off in the distance in Gila Bend where I...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    We are down South by San Diego. We live East of San Diego up in the hills in a tiny town called Descanso. I still don't have the A/C working. Or the gas gauge, or the tach. LOL I tried to get help locally, but all of them want to replace the harness because they think I did something...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    Dude that tank looks great! Great job with that paint work. The Tahoe was painted around 1996. They did a really good job. The flames are under many coats of clear. They continue through the door jams onto the rear quarter. The interior is tweed and the flames continue in there too. It's...

    Limp mode, PRNDL fuse hot, no power to 4L60E

    Did you ever figure out what the fix is?

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    Nothing note worthy. I will say the 5.3 swap is one of the greatest things I have done for the Tahoe. The 5.7 was such a dinosaur

    A/C Help After 5.3 Swap

    Haven't changed anything other than the compressor, but when doing the wiring, their are wires coming from the new ECU. I'm going to mess with it today. I need to reacquaint myself with the project after sitting for so long. I know nothing happens under the hood. I can't remember what is...

    Tried So Many Things But No A/C in 1999 GMC Sierra K1500 Classic

    "I used the diagram in the 1999 service manual for C/K trucks." Can you post that diagram?

    A/C Help After 5.3 Swap

    Well, my A/C still does not work. Honestly I just haven't had a lot of time to mess with it. Health bull$h!t. Now that I am feeling better I really want to get the A/C working so we can enjoy this thing again. Is there anyone here that has gone through this after doing an LS swap? I'm handy...

    Two unknown PCM wires

    Are you sure those wires are from the black plug? All of my purple/white wires were from the blue plug. Either the O2 sensors or the VSS. The black/white wires I had were in the red, white and black plugs. I have some other complete harness's I can check tomorrow to see if they offer any...

    Going to 5/7

    Not sure if this helps, but my Tahoe has parts from a Beltech 4/6 drop. I have Belltech spindles. Wheels are 20x8 with 5" of backspacing. Front tires are 275-40 R20 Toyo Proxes. The wildcard on my setup is the front springs. They are from a 69 big block Camaro with some coils cut off. I...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    I haven't done much to the Tahoe lately. I did buy HP Tuners in an effort to get the speedometer, tach, A/C, electric fans and fuel gauge working correctly, but that is kicking my ass. It's still a blast to drive though.

    Hooking up 97 fuel gauge to 12200411 PCM

    I finally purchased HP Tuners 2. I tried copying what you posted for the gauge, but did not have any luck. Gauge still buries way past full. I'm sure it's operator error. I'll keep poking around in the program to see if there is something I forgot to click.

    PS request - 1500 Emblem on my door?

    If you're going to add an emblem, in the groove looks nice with the rest of the molding gone.

    Hooking up 97 fuel gauge to 12200411 PCM

    About to break down and buy HP Tuners to help me with the Tahoe. I want to make sure I understand what you said about scanning vehicles. If I buy the MPVI2 with one credit so I can manipulate the Tahoe's computer, can I use that same device to scan other vehicles for codes without having to...

    A/C Help After 5.3 Swap

    I also found this wiring diagram. It has an A/C High Pressure Recirculation Switch. That makes me wonder if what I think is the A/C High Pressure Switch installed in my high pressure hose, is actually a A/C High Pressure Recirculation Switch, and that is why the A/C is not working.

    A/C Help After 5.3 Swap

    Hi Everyone. Swapped a 5.3 from a 2002 Tahoe into our 97 2 door Tahoe. We have been driving the thing all over the place because it is so much fun to drive now. But it's getting pretty warm out now so I really need to figure out the A/C. The compressor is a Sanden 508. I have the A/C...

    97 Tahoe with 4/6 Belltech Drop

    Leaks like that can be a pain in the ass for sure. The 6.0 will be a great addition to your truck. The 5.7 in these things is pretty weak.
