    2002 LB7 Fuel Leak by Cooler

    Finally finished the power steering hose & hot side intercooler pipe replacement and new shocks all the way around and upon wrapping up the rear shocks yesterday, it was noticed that the truck has sprung a fuel leak. It's leaking where the braided hose crimps to the hard line near the fuel...

    2002 Brake Master Cylinder Tube Replacement

    The tube front tube out of the bottom of the MC has sprung a leak & needs replacing. I’d just as soon get a flexible hose replacement instead of the tube. But can anyone help with a part number for either a replacement hose or tube? Any help would be appreciated. 👍🏼

    2015 Suburban Lost 4th Gear

    Accelerated hard to make a turn at a light before it turned yellow/red and then immediately let out. When I let out it had just shifted 3-4. It tied up or something and shifted so hard it chirped the tires. I didn’t realize it then as I slowed to make another turn almost immediately after that...

    Baby Girl is All Good

    No one may have noticed but I was MIA for a couple weeks while my baby girl decided to come a week early. Ms. Kaileigh Marie is doing really good and momma is doing good now (had a little incident with her bladder being nicked while they dissected her & put her back together). My wife is a stay...

    Duramax Suburban Value

    My wife is pregnant with our second child (current boy is 5yo and baby girl is due early August) and her leveled 2002 Chevy 2500hd d/a ECSB truck ain’t gonna cut the mustard as a suitable family mobile. While there’s enough cab space in my super cab f150, it doesn’t leave room for groceries...

    Help: HVAC Only Blows Out Defrost & Feet

    I couldn’t find a more appropriate sub-forum to post this but mods move this wherever it belongs or will get the most exposure if this ain’t the right spot. Anyway, as the title says, on my wife’s 2002 2500hd LS d/a the HVAC is now only blowing out of the defrost and feet regardless of which...

    Loud Clunk When Let Off Accelerator

    Not sure whats going on but I'm getting a loud metallic clunk when I let off the accelerator pedal. It is most noticeable at lower speeds but I think that's mostly because everything else is quieter when going slower so I can just hear it better then. It does not sound like heavy metal objects...

    Sightron Scopes

    I'd like to see if there's anyone with personal experience with a Sightron scope. Particularly the S-Tac 4-20x50 model. By what I'm reading, there might not be a better buy for the sub-$500 long range rifle scope. Reportedly has exceptional glass equal to scopes costing upwards of $1000 and has...

    GM Last to Class with 1/2 Ton Diesel??

    So obviously Dodge has done pretty good with the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and now I'm reading that Ford is putting a 3.0L V6 Power Stroke in the F150 starting mid-MY2018. What's GM waiting for? Just like suckling on the ol' hind teet or what?!?! I mean crap, they went through complete development of...

    Focus ST or VW Golf GTI?

    Anyone have experience with either one? Which one handles better? Which one responds to mods (exhaust, I take, tuning, fmic, etc.) better? Any known issues with either one? I was pretty sold on a Focus ST to replace my TDI for a DD. But then I went for a ride in a reasonably modified 2015...

    Allison 5sp: No reverse

    On my donor truck, an 01 4wd D/A... I jumped it & took it for a spin to charge the batteries. Well it would barely go forward at first & had zero reverse. I figured the converter drained back since its been sitting a few months & my 02 truck does this too. Well, I make a run around my...

    Question about LBZ into NBS Tahoe

    Electronically, would installing an LBZ in an 07 Tahoe be "plug-n-play" I have an LBZ on the engine stand & may have the opportunity to purchase a NBS (it's somewhere btwn an 07 & 2010 I believe) Tahoe. If this engine will plug in with little or minimal re-pinning, I may consider the purchase...
