It could have been a head gasket leak from your symptoms did you do a compression check?

Nobody...... nothing?

Will a later 4l60e from a 1999 fit in the 1997 Tahoe with a 5.7L?

I am assuming you have original water pump like I did and need to replace it. It is a good time with all the stuff out of the way good insurance and drains the block of antifreeze necessary to remove the intake.

Yes you do need to remove one valve coverI had the most trouble getting the fan off. I ended up getting two longer bolts to hold the pulley.

Interesting I would like to know also. I do not have any temp issues in my 1997 but learning about the Tahoe. I love the truck. Not a looker but, rides like a dream.

Thanks

I think you are in the wrong year Tahoe section. I do not have that part on my 1997 Tahoe.

I just joined Sunday. I have been driving my sons 1997 Tahoe for a year and he has had it for 8 years.

It might be easier if I remove the brace. I am going to try that now.

Hear is a picture looking up from below drivers side. It is hard to see this is to get a general idea. this is a close up of the plug Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I am in the middle of the same project your thread is helping. I am stuck on trying to drain the cooling system. I was told that the bolt on the bottom of the block if removed will drain the system but I can not get a good grip in it. I will get a picture of it and post it.
