I dont know why, but brother in law had problem with bosch in his 77 Datsun. Told him to change to NGK, fixed it. Friend of mine had a problem with his jeep after a tune...

    Bad ball joints... again!

    The upper ball joints were done in about an hour and a half. The Idler arm was a huge pain spent a few hours on that. I remember the pitman I did last year being much easier. moog everything, now hopefully I wont have to worry anymore on this damn near 20 year old rig.

    Bad ball joints... again!

    So last year I had to buy all 4 ball joints to pass safety. As a precaution I got pit man arm and idler arm and bracket. They were out of stock of the in house brand so I opted for the Moog upgrade on the lower... I wish I spend the extra 20-30 bucks to upgrade all 4 because they are bad...

    Can I put 18x9's with 33's on my stock height?

    Hey J, I have a 95 that had 33x12.5x18r on it when I bought it. The front rubbed a little around corners but after I messed with the torsion bars it was just fine. I eventually put 3 inch lift blocks on the rear end to level it out. I don't know about 2000, but my mom has a 99 and its the same...

    Sway bar problems

    Hey I am wondering if anyone has experience taking off their rear sway bar. I have a 95 33x12.5xr18. I put lift blocks on the rear end and tweaked my torsion bars up front. In the rear end now, my truck wobbles around bounces more than ever when I go over speed bumps and dips. I think its the...

    NEW and I NEED HELP!!!!!

    I would guess bad head gasket, I have done this about 3 or 4 times in my life. Once on one of my first cars and a few times for friends. Relatively easy fix if you have all weekend to do it, but the engine is never the same after a repair like that. The mileage seems way too low for a problem...

    Dome Light will not turn on Tahoe 96'

    There is a little button next to where you turn your head lights on that sets the dome light for doors open or not. Have you checked that?

    NEW and I NEED HELP!!!!!

    I had these two problems happen separately in a 86' k5 Blazer I owned when I was younger. The dying instantly happened after I drove through a giant puddle, and got water in my distributor. It caused my spark to jump all over the place and die if I shifted. That could have happened when your...

    Fuel Leak at Tank.

    I changed my fuel pump, filter and relay a while back. There was about 80 lbs of mud holding the gas tank on. After about 2 hours of chipping I dropped the tank, only to find more dried mud on the pump assembly. The lock ring holding down the fuel pump assembly was so rusted out, the tabs on the...

    Tahoe towing capacity

    I think you mean Bumper.. not fender.. What I actually think you are referring to (lower fender?) is a receiving hitch. Anyway, 2200 lbs is nothing, you could tow that with a car. I tow my 86 Blazer, on a trailer. That thing is a tank compared to my Tahoe, much less a boat. I think you will be good.
