    EGR Valve

    I've never bought a EGR value on any vehicle that required them, and I've had plenty with the value. Each year I remove the EGR and soak it in carburetor cleaner for about six hours and clean it out making sure the value moves freely. I think most get clog up and the reason they don't work so...

    Replacing the Intake Manifold Gasket - What a Nightmare!

    This is the information on how I did mind. It shows pictures with all the instruction this person did on his Tahoe 5.7 V-8. I marked my distributor in several places so I could install it the same location. Didn't need to have it scanned. http://www.market-place.com/intake/intake.htm

    Replacing the Intake Manifold Gasket - What a Nightmare!

It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good to have coolant leaking into the crankcase, which would start bearing wear. My oil pressure when I bought the Tahoe new the oil pressure at start up would...

    1997 Tahoe Step Bumper Pad

    Primered means it's ready for painting, and my '96 Tahoe with the same rear black plastic pad isn't primered. Are your sure this firm isn't referring to a metal bumper?

    Where Is The Electrical Short?

    Forgot to post that I had open the fuse box on the driver side fender wall, and started removing fuses to find when the test light would go out. When I removed the 50 amp "BATT" fuse the light went out. Put the fuse back in, and test light lit up. Removed the "Lighting" (50 amp) fuse, the...
