Well it finally happened. I was driving home Thursday after work and noticed my transmission was slipping and would not shift. The RPM's would climb to like 3500 and it still would not shift. Then I noticed it was overheating. I just figured the trans was slipping and causing the engine to get...

I too have this issue and really want to keep the stock unit. I noticed that your radio has a "TheftLock" symbol on it same as mine. What exactly does that do? I have held off on pulling the radio due to this label. I have heard that once the radio is removed it will lock up and you need a code...

Well I just went out to check and the silicone never hardened. I have had that stuff in my tool box for years and I guess after a while it goes bad. So tonight I'm gonna clean it all up again and use J.B. Weld. That should fix it up.

Yeah that's it. I was "seeping" throught what appears to be a casting flaw in the case. I know it sounds retarded but it is. I did not scuff it because I think the rough surface, as long as it's clean and free of dirt and oil, would "hold" the sealer better. I did not have any J.B Weld so I used...

Well I cleaned the sh*t out of the case and after diving home checked it out and there was enough fluid there to be sure there was a leak but it was not anywhere near the split in the case or the tailshaft housing. There are two bolts on the passenger side at both these locations that I thought...

I have sealed what I think was the only oil leak on the engine and now I'm looking at resealing my transfer case due to a small ATF leak at what appears to be coming from where the cases split. It's a very minor leak but it's the only one left and it drives me insane to have any leaks. My...

U-joints are not very difficult to change at all. That does not seem to be your issue though. If it was a driveline thing I would think it would do it in 2WD and 4WD. I do not know much about Tahoes as I'm a new owner myself but I would check the front and and mabe wheel balance? I know I had an...

If you need parts for that Pete hit me up. Anyway....back to my tired old POS.:fu: I changed both rear driveshaft u-joints and resealed the oil filter header adapter. I also seafoamed it as well as used some deep creep. Ran a compression check on all 8 cylinders as well as a cylinder leak...

LOL Yeah the Jeep weighs about 1/2 what the Tahoe does. But it's tow capacity is less than 1/3 of what the Tahoe is as well. I completely understand what your saying about the weight difference but dag-um. Yeah it's a pretty steep ramp. And yeah it's got to go into 4 low to get the boat up and out.

I'm just jackin' with ya! I know it's not new but it should be able to pull my boat up a ramp regardless. Now that you mention it though I might do a compression check on it tomorrow. Yeah I am in parts sales now but I was an ASE certified mechanic for 10 years. Class 7 and 8 trucks though. So...

What is it exactly that keeps the RPM's at/below 1800? In my theory(I have no actual knowledge:lol:) with the throttle depressed and with an automatic trasmission, the engine should rev and the torque converter should slip between the pump and the turbine. Now I would assume that this "slippage"...

First off, thanks for the response. I was starting to wonder. As far as the oil leaks on the engine I plan on trying to use some type of degreaser along with my pressure washer to clean up the engine compartment and motor so I can pinpoint exactly where the engine oil leak(s) are coming from but...

Really?!?!?! Nobody has anything to contribute?!?!?! Nothin'? HUH.

DISCLAIMER: This is my first post here so please excuse the length and/or ignorance that follows. :o I am kinda long winded but will try to keep it short in the future. For now though, here it goes. Well after years and years of longing to own a 2DR I finally found the one. It's a red '95...
