If you haven't done to ball joints yet. The rivets can be taken of with a hand held grinder with the arms still on the truck. You could probably do one side in about an hour.

How do you set the distributor using a logic probe? Thanks

If it didn't come up with a code about timing then you are fine. P1345. You said you didn't remove the distributor. Then you are good. Case relearn? Nope A scan tool is needed to set the timing after removing the distributor if you didn't put it back in the exact same position it was in. Double...

I've replaced many hinge pins. And I came to the conclusion that the reason the hinge pins and bushing go bad (especially in the driver door) is because the door latch and striker bolt has play in it from opening and closing the door. The door moves up and down while driving and wears out the...

You will need a scanner to delete the codes on a OBD II computer. Disconnecting the battery will not clear the codes. It will shut the engine light off. Then drive for 100 miles with no codes and no engine light on for the computer to reset.

Just for ha ha. check your u-joints.

check compression. Bad compression will cause misfire to happen as well.

synthetic is the way to go. Doesn't really matter which brand. I'v used them all and found no difference other then the cheaper stuff tends to break down sooner. A whole lot of relabeling going on. There is a very big difference between regular oil and synthetic oil. The internal engine stays...

When you can get rid of the dexcool. Use the tried and tested green fluid. Read up on the dexcool. I changed and have no problems. Don't mix together. Even if the green fluid says it can. Why take the chance.

You may also have a bad injector.

If you lost 3rd and 4th gear in your tranny then puting more fluid will not get then back. Was the tranny 100% rebuilt or used? If used then it was already on it's way out. Some places will only replace the stuff that looks bad and not do a 100% rebuild. The tranny will wine and slip if fluid is...

Ok, if you actually listened to the video it says 99-02 truck and 00-02 Tahoe Yukon and Suburban. Not 99 Tahoe.

Well I finally fixed the pulsing. Changed the axels, little change, changed the drums, pulsing in rear goes away, changed the rotors, pulsing is gone. For the rotors I bearly felt it in the steering wheel.

4wd is 33" long and I went to the dealer and found that I have the bigger bearing. The size I was referring to was the bearing size. One size is 2.5 inches and the other is 2.8 inches.

Why are ther different axle bearing sizes and different lengths? Thanks
