    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Okay I just got off the phone with Dave the PO of my Tahoe. Suburban gas tank 42 gallons Tahoe is either 28 or 30 gallons. He wasn't 100% sure about the Tahoe gas size so it might be wrong but he thought 28 or 30 gallons.

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    My girl and I drove the 99 diesel Tahoe up to Greenville NC to buy the Suburban. Driving back we spoke on the cell phones and compared RPM's at different speeds. Here is a shot from our ride back of my RPM's in the 95 BURB. As you can tell by the pic... first my gas gauge wasn't going crazy...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Okay so the reason the 99 is easier to start is it has key on lift pump prime which means once the key is turned to the on position the lift pump primes which makes it easier to start. Is that correct? If so... Can I get the same set up on my 95 which lacks the key on lift pump prime feature...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Will, that's part of the problem with the USA economy. We as a country don't really produce much of anything anymore besides movies, music, overpaid sports stars and babies. I too would be willing supporting many upon many products if they were manufactured here in the USA. It would be great for...

    My new truck

    Very nice. I looked at a few crew cab dually 6.5's but wanted an enclosed back. I know a cap can be added but I like my suburbans/Tahoe's. But it looks like a sweet ride. Hope you get many of safe miles out of it.

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Thanks for compliments on the two diesels. No dash light doesn't come on. I will wire them back. The Tahoe starts so much easier. Other then that this 95 is awesome. Runs mint. Rides good but feels like she needs a new suspension. My main focus will be the Tahoe but this 95 is now my dd so if...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    How can I tell if that's happening? I can get into that right now but I am just wondering so after I fix my leaks that will be my next project. Oh by the way on my turbo RX7's I used to upgrade all my lines to steel braided. Do they have them for these trucks and are they good?

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Well compared to both my 99 5.7 Burban and 96 5.7 Tahoe even with all the mods it doesn't compare. PO has a thread where he states he couldn't pull anything with it. I'm confused I mean I know it's not supposed to be quick off the line like a gasser and I don't press her anyways due to I don't...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    Okay all. I am not going to quote each of you to reply so let me start by trying to address all questions which were brought up. Jrsavoie, I believe I have two oil leaks one front towards passenger side near mid to rear of passenger front tire but not close to the tire let's say more near...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    When I bought it he said she had only one leak which wasn't anything major. He said it was leaking a drip of oil from the harmonic balancer. So I guess driving from Forida to South Carolina I developed about 3 more leaks from all the vibration or something. I mentioned she had more then one leak...

    Need help with my 99 6.5 Tahoe please

    okay so the time is coming that I am going to start fixing her up. I don't drive her because she has a few minor leaks. I bought her from Spdgofast on DieselPlace forums and found an old thread of his about my Tahoe from when he owned it. I am pasting a link here for reference and it has...

    Any Differences between 95 GMC suburban sle 6.5 TD & 99 tahoe 6.5 TD

    Okay after doing more research found that in 95 they had 2500 light duty diesel and 2500 heavy duty diesels. LD (Light Duty) is 7200# GVWR, and semi-floater 6 lug r/e. Also equipped with the same smog as the 1/2 tons in most states. HD (Heavy Duty) is 8600# GVWR, and full floater 8 lug r/e.
