    Got my new lift done!!! PICS!!

    Thanks for the info Bowtie, The 383 is sounding better all the time. I'll just have to look around for a custom shop for the custom program, tuning and dyno, we don't have much of that around here. I live in southwest Louisiana, probably the closest thing I will find is Houston, Tx. My...

    Got my new lift done!!! PICS!!

    Bowtie I see you've got the GMPP 383HT. I've been thinkin about going that route with mine. How much power did you gain over your stock motor? Any significant difference in gas mileage with the stroker verses the stock.

    flowmaster

    I just had a 40 series single in dual out put on my 95' two door Tahoe. The tailpipes go straight out the back on each side of the drop hitch. With the two door, the flowmaster is pretty much right under the rear seat. The idle sound is great and it sounds good up to about 70mph. Past that...

    New Engine

    A rebuild would be cheaper as GS said. If you go that route just make sure that you use a shop you can trust. I've reached a point in my life where I'll take a 3year, 36,000 mile warranty over a rebuild strictly for the fact that dependability is more important than anything else. I...

    New Engine

    Two answers for you, I only have 106,000 on my 95' Tahoe so its a long way from a rebuild but I have a 95' 3/4 ton pickup that has 202,000 and its still running decent but burning oil in the rear passenger side cylinder. That should give you an idea of how long your motor will last if it hasn't...

    New Here

    Thats a great looking 99'. I just picked up a black 95' a few months ago haven't done much to it yet. I've been looking around, trying to find the lift and wheel/tire combo that would look best on my truck and you just about nailed it for me. Would you give me some details: Lift...

    Fresh Pro Comp Lift

    Looks great, can't wait to do my 95', did you notice much of a drop in power with the bigger tires?

    Misfire Now Kills Truck

    This could be way off base but may be worth a try. A couple years ago my son did some sound system mods in his 93' Z71. Afterward his truck mysteriouly started running rough, the lights would dim and the dash gauges would jump around. Notice the similarities. I'm better with wrenches than...

    2WD in Snow?

    Every 96 and up 2 door I have seen is 4WD. Not saying they don't exist, I just don't recall ever seeing a 2WD, 2door. As far as driving in the snow, can't help you there, all we see down here in Louisiana is mud.

    Transmission a little slow when shifting in reverse

    The transmission on the 95 Tahoe I just bought is doing the same thing. My transmission mechanic told me to try TransX, he said it may just be a valve sticking if the TransX doesn't help eventually it will be time for a trans rebuild ($1800). Good news is the $1800 includes a bullet proof...

    95 tahoe

    They are correct, the vortec did not start until 96'. I have two 95's, a pickup with a standard transmission and a Tahoe with an automatic trans. The 95' model 350 is a good dependable motor with the Throttle Body Injection. It has 210hp stock, which should be more than enough for you S10.

    how many miles on your hoe

    95' coming up on 104,000. Bought it 3 months ago. As far as I know its the original engine and transmission. The guy before my always used quaker state full synthetic and thats what I am continueing with. The motor runs great but the reverse gear in the transmission is getting slow to...

    Calling all gearheads: want engine build advice/opinions

    95TwinTT, thanks for all the info, but as in most cases more info leads to more questions. I want to keep my 95 around for a long time and I am also willing to spend some extra cash to get it to perform better. I checked out your link, that is some awesome stuff under the hood and in the...

    Calling all gearheads: want engine build advice/opinions

    General, hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread here for a minute, but this is just way too interesting. I don't know much about superchargers but want to learn. 95TwinTT I recently bought a totally stock 95 2dr 4wd Tahoe and yes it's motor is sluggish. The motor has 103,000 miles on...
