1998 Tahoe LT. Please view/listen to video. Brake pedal very soft, then a new “mooing†noise once near bottom. Slight stuttering while trying to stop. The car does have ABS. Also the rear brake pads were replaced just last week by a mechanic. Any help? Thanks in advance. Randy

Heavy blue smoke from exhaust on start up. Rough idle on start. Smoke goes away after about 10 minutes. Note: A few weeks ago I had white smoke coming from the exhaust. Smelled sweet, definitely coolant burning. No evidence of oil burning. Diagnosis by mechanic was intake manifold gasket. No...

Thanks so much east302! Such a great help! Best, Randy

Thanks so much! Do you happen to have the GM part number for the arm itself, #12?

Want to replace the rear wiper arm on my 98 Tahoe. I find the arm online, but it doesn't seem to come with this gasket/nut that is cracked. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Randy

Seems I am missing some sort of spring here. Can anyone identify for me? Can I purchase it somewhere?

Replacing the shock absorbers. Any recommendations for a stock '98 LT? (179k miles, cared for.) Thx in advance.

Ok. Sorry about that. Ive had some urgency in trying to get this done. I left time for it being a difficult repair, but have hit numerous snags. If I do get it done on my own I will post what I found step by step to contribute; as the instructions and diagrams are missing numerous small...

Can anyone tell me if I have to remove the back seat in order to get at the rear evaporator in a 98? Or can I remove the rear quarter trims without? I have a diagram for a 99 which says I do. But this diagram doesnt match mine in a number of ways.

Actually cannot for the life of me find the upper of the "two bolts from the PSIR bracket" pictured in diagram below (the diagram w entire front panel). Nor can I determine which are the "the left and the right lower instrument panel pivot bolts" in the bottom diagram Any help? Puttin in...

Thx Lester. Even w that link for the front Im struggling to make out some of the diagrams. (eg #7-PSIR bracket ??) But Ill keep trolling web. Hopefully there's something for the uninitiated. Ive gotten to dropping steering column and Im stuck.

For those looking for a similar solution for the front evap see this link: http://www.justanswer.com/gm/3y526-replace-ac-evaporator-99chevy-tahoe.html

Or even vague instructions. Just the order in which the parts need to come off. Thank you.

Can anyone point me to detailed instructions for taking the dash off to get at the evaporator? And instructions on getting to the rear evaporator as well? (I have a freon leak and after much forensics, dye, replcing compressor, etc., everything under the hood is good and free of leaks. Its...

Lester, Thx so much for the reply. What I'm really wondering is just how to take apart the dash to get at the evaporator. If there is a diagram or directions w pictures somewhere? And the same for taking apart the rear....

So my saga continues. New compressor, syastem has been evacuated. But I have a leak. There was some cold air coming out rear for a small while. Now no cold air front or back. The freon is being lost. Dye has been placed in the last charge. I had a second mechanic do a black light test...

Just ckd the link. Perfect. Excellent! Thank you.

Heard skreaching sound in engine first, then burning smell. Looked under hood and compressor was glowing inside its casing. Def shot. Seems pretty clear need full vacuum of system and replace all parts you mentioned.

Yes. I meant a larger job than I can handle. Quality shop is the question. Is there standard procedure to this cleaning of the system? And anything else that needs to be replaced? Hoping I can be somewhat armed when I speak with the mechanic. I could see someone easily tacking on labor and...

Thanks for this... Compressor is seizing as of two days ago...so looks like I have a larger job on my hands. Cant tell whether the repair shop should have seen this coming before they suggested and replaced the receiver/drier.
