    extended rear flexible brake line

    My tahoe (96 2dr 4x4) is lifted and I'd like to replace the rear flexible brake line. Anyone know of a vehicle I can purchase a replacement rubber line for that is a longer direct replacement? I don't really want braided lines and I only need the rear. On some of my former jeep CJ's you...

    95 winch bumper fab

    I"ll take one. I could come down, mount the winch in the bumper and help you install it. I'll do all the winch wiring. How long would it take you to have one ready? I will pay cash when I pick it up.

    lower radiator hose removal?

    I dropped the passenger side inner fender liner and got it. My truck has 6" of lift. If not, the wheel would have needed to be removed too. I assume the radiator was installed with the lower hose attached. I don't think the hose was original. Those clamps were a major PITA. Thanks for the reply

    lower radiator hose removal?

    Today I set off to change the spark plugs, thermostat, heater control valve, upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose. Everything went well until I got to the lower hose clamp on the radiator. The tabs on the friction clamp are pointed to the inner fender and I don't see any way to compress...

    Another won't start tahoe 1996

    Starter, cap, wires and plugs got it back up and running. Sadly, the flexplate was damaged during the failure(s). Sounds terrible during the starting process now. Transmission and transfer case will have to be dropped... Will update when I get it back.

    Another won't start tahoe 1996

    Thank you for the input. I called and asked them to check the crank position sensor. The wires, plugs and cap were due anyway. Hopefully I can report back with some good news tomorrow. I miss the truck. I have other things to drive but I always grab the tahoe keys on the way out the door.

    Another won't start tahoe 1996

    my 1996 tahoe won't start. Less than 1000 miles ago the transmission was rebuilt. Last friday I went to start it and the starter sounded terrible. It was not turning over the engine either. Had it towed to my friends shop. Starter broke at the nose cone. Got a replacement and the truck won't...

They used a new convertor, parts kit, solenoid pack and mild shift kit. 12mo, 12k mile warranty. The 3/4 gear clutches went out on mine. They do the...
