I pulled my rear driveshaft out and took it to have it balanced and new u joints put in last week. Now I'm leaking fluid out from where it plugs in to the transfer case. I've never done one of these before and it's probably real simple and I'm over thinking it but alldata/service manual simply...

I should have got the 2" like the other dude said, 2" looked way too big, I bought a 1.5" and thought it might've even looked a little big, but it was too small. exchanging tomorrow. Is all that box is for is just making things quiter? I know my brother the home depot cai wizard took off...

I've also heard old fluid carries with it in a suspension particles of worn clutch packs and other junk that helps everything work right and when you put new atf in, since the clutch packs and other magical transmission stuff are missing the material and now the fluid is too, problems!

I'm borrowing my brothers 6hp power washer this weekend for something else but this sounds like a good idea. I think I'll give it a try too. I'm gonna be kinda ghetto though, just rattle-canning the parts you can see under the doors mainly and maybe the rear axle and stuff. there's probably...

I found the TSB that says the front and rear driveshafts should be going the same speed in 2hi. this is in regards to NP8 pushbutton autotrak transfer cases tsb # 02-04-21-005A Slips in 4-Wheel Drive, Noise, Vibration, Leaks, Hot Odor (Diagnose and Repair Front Differential and/or Transfer...

cool thanks for the explanations guys. didn't mean to hijack the other dudes thread. I remember seeing a tsb, I don't remember what for but it was talking about an np8 pushbutton transfer case and having a tech 2 hooked up to read the front and rear driveshaft rpms in 2hi and said they should...

So what's everyone's opinion on changing the fluid and filter on a high-mileage trans that it's unknown if it's been done before? I know a lot of people say don't touch it and I'm kind of starting to be on their side as of a year ago. I bought my tahoe with 135k miles. should I do it or not...

I can see where it could get confusing with some of the stuff on autozone shelves called "oem replacements" or the company called "OE solutions" or even better, I bought a new plastic upper intake for a 3.8 v6 and the brand name was "OEM" I guess they're counting on people hearing "buy OEM!"...

I don't understand a lot about how the 4wd system works and this'd seem like a good thread to ask. What all is spinning up front in 2hi? I know the front driveshaft still spins in 2 hi, the cv shafts obviously do, so are they all 3 just spinning but not connected in the diff until you engage...

It comes with a distributorless ignition too, neat, but at $1400 and having to get an aftermarket custom pcm and harness I'd rather go for a 5.3 or 6.0 with pcm that already has that good stuff from craigslist for way less $$. also that thing's way tall, maybe need a cowl induction hood and it...

Yeah I'm just talking about the box over the dist that does nothing. I'm not going to go try and make a whole cold (hot) air intake out of home depot stuff like my brother does every time he gets a new car. (and then goes back to stock air intake months later)

Just wondering what's the best way to get rid of this thing, what to block off the hole with? I don't think it'd make any performance improvement but it is ugly, in the way, and it's called a silencer. 3 strikes, sounds like it needs to go to me. The LT1 caprice/roadmaster people had a huge...

I didn't end up experimenting with resistors and don't think I will now. I woke up late this morning and only had until noon to go to the chevy dealer to get the sensor, didn't leave me enough time to try resistors and still buy the sensor if I couldn't find a good ohm-value one to use so I...

I've read it on the here that the tahoes can't do it because the back doors are notched for the wheel wells. Somebody in that thread also said suburbans can do it since they have straight no-notch back doors. I've always since I was a kid thought back windows on all kinds of cars didn't open...

I usually switch to mobil as soon as I buy something. The tahoe I didn't have much money when it was time for the first oil change but I put in mobil 0w30 last weekend. My dad and I both use mobil 1 and do 10,000 mile oil changes, 5000 mile mobil filter changes. I've been doing it since I...
