Care to let us know how much the accessories have cost vs the actual cost of the bike? Then we will know how crazy you really are.

04crewvt

That must be Reed's Native American name.

We will see how it goes, I am not worried right now it just is a bit loose but not dangerous. I may try to adjust it but right now the bolt is frozen and it's too cold out to monkey around with it.

Dealer gave the 20 degree off info I don't know for sure but it runs better now and code has gone away.Especially with the new cats.
It's not the pump they want to replace it's the gear box itself.

04crewvt

Too late, distributor already replaced, it was held in with a wood screw where it had broken off one ear. took us a month and a trip to the dealership to get the thing to stop setting the crank position sensor code. The shop I used had set the distributor in 20 degrees off and never spotted the prob...

I bought my Tahoe 1998 (211K on the odometer) for $1800 this summer. Positives include more room for both gear and people, about even gas mileage with the Crew, more towing capacity, longer range gas tank, better seats ( I never knew how much heated seats were worth until it hit -6f), sits up higher...

I used This site . easy to use and it has links to explain details.

Spent the $30 or so and do a simple will on line with no lawyer to deal with just a questionnaire to fill out. Without one the State can decided all details including custody of your children and the allocation of your estate. If you have a spouse they will eventually get something but the creditors...

I knew the specs for the transmission has 75 degrees listed as the lockup temp so yours sounds about right. What concerned me a bit was that the trip home yesterday was in 4wheel drive with the trans locked into 3rd. At speeds of 40mph max I sort of expected the temps to reach a little higher. TCC m...

04crewvt

Ok, so this is really about the Tahoe but I have a question. I looked but can not seem to find any info on what the minimum operating temp should be for our transmissions (since both the Crew and the Tahoe use versions of the same one) It has been single digits with a wind chill of about -11 for the...

04crewvt

My condolences to you and your family. May you find the strength you need to get you through this.

04crewvt

I don't see the 195 giving you much extra heat in 2.5 miles, It takes about that many for mine to get heat stock. An electric cabin heater might be your best investment.

04crewvt

What do you do to get that mileage, push it by hand half the time? I would love to see 20MPG in mine.

04crewvt

He don't know you too well yet do he

If there is an easy way and a hard way Reed will start out at one end of the scale and quickly the ducks will come out.

04crewvt

Wish you had seen Brule's current review of the Hawk pads before you started. Hope you have better luck than he is.

04crewvt

Just an thought. Guess there are no cheap Rolex's around your place either.

04crewvt

Snce they were an E-Bay purchase any chance they were Fake? you wouldn't be the first to get a cheap knock off when buying there.

04crewvt

Or that they were the lowest bidder.

If you bought your rig from a dealership they probably replaced a K&N type filter with stock parts, since the K&N kit seems to be becoming a notorious problem with breaking in our rigs. I know my dealership does not like the aftermarket air cleaner on mine and they even wrote that it might need to b...

OEM was around $65 installed.

Nope I just had to pay to have mine replaced this summer the 04 was not included in the TSB.

Here's a link to a photo of my rig on Crotched Mountain . This is on 30" with just a T-Bar crank in front and shackles in the rear I was in a group of 15 s-10 and blazers and I was one of only 7 that made this bunch of rocks without a tow. I can tell you no one thought my truck was a 2 wheel drive. ...

The very first thing I would check is the actual phone wire into your house. Standard telephone wire is great for voice but not so good for data especially the cheap stuff installed in the walls. Pick up a phone patch cord long enough to go from the gray Telco box on the outside of your house and co...

That my friend, sounds like you picked up a virus. No reputable site advertises like that and they can't look at your registry just by you going on line. If you don,t have it I also recommend SpyBot Search and Destroy. If set up to allow content blocking with the TeaTimer active any active registry ...

I would try running msconfig and selecting diagnostic startup. Reboot the system if it starts right you will need to use selective startup to disable each item until you find the one causing the problem. Here is a like with more details. Microsoft Help and Support

I have done other things to it.

That's ok I picked up some mini strobes from e-bay for $25 which will do fine for the front. It's the rears I really wanted set up,they look great in the dark. I have used the overhead lights a couple of times on the interstate when due to accidents traffic was slowed down to a crawl, they work grea...

Yup, the place I got the replacement lenses for the light bar ordered them for me. They look sharp through the back windows.
I still have some front strobes to install and the fog lights to hook up.

You gots to pay to play. If you can get your current system running well again it might be worth it to save up for a high end system.

CCLEANER is more than a registry cleaner. I don't know MaxSecure so I can't compare I run TuneUp Utilities as my paid tweaking software and CCLEANER as my free backup, they tend to find different things at times. If you want to go to $500 you can get a great system. I would not look at a new monitor...

oh sure those 30 degree days are torture to warm up in.

Welcome- Good luck on keeping the mods to a minimum there are too many cool things we have done and still want to do, most of us have a list a mile long waiting for the right time and the money.

04crewvt

I ran one winter with cardboard tied to the grill. It helped with warm ups quite a bit but I also was only running a 10 mile drive so I needed to do that so I would get heat before I got to work. There is plenty of space between the grill and the radiator to get air flow.

We are in an industrial area that does not have good delivery track record and much of what we sell is heavy/oversize. Instead of having to pick and choose what we can and can't ship we go with the big guys who give us much better rates and can track items mid stream, not just start and end points. ...

About the same price per foot but shipping is the bear. Most of our customers are buying more than one item so the shipping works out a lot better. A single item like that would be better shipped via postal service which we can do but it's a royal pain. We have to physically take it to the post offi...

Less than 1000 miles in and code P0420 has reared it's ugly head again. I still thing the Cat is bad but since it was showing good flow the dealer didn't check it further or change it out.

Looked at the alternator thread and under the hood of the Tahoe this AM. It appears I already have the AD244 it looks like the photos at least and it does not look like the stock Crew alternator.

04crewvt

I will have to see what's around, not a lot of junk yards anymore up this way, scrap metal is worth too much so most vehicles are heading to Canada to be recycled. There are a few so who knows what I may find. where do I look on them to figure out what they are and what are they most likely to be in?

Alternator is part of the research I am doing I have to see what's there now, there is a provision to run dual alternators as well in these trucks with a couple of mods it was an option with the factory towing package I think or at least I have photos of it done.
