    Would you buy a 20O7 Tahoe with AFM/DOD?

    I've been looking for a Tahoe. Found a nice one nearby. 224k miles. Freshly rebuilt transmission at 200k miles. It has everything I am looking for. But....it has AFM/DOD. I've heard bad things about it. I realize it can be physically deleted but I don't want to put that much more time and...

    Excessive oil consumption

    I did a BG EPR treatment, then started using Valvoline Restore and Protect. My oil consumption went from 1 qt every 1200 miles to 3/4 qt every 2800 miles.

    NEED HELP Got a tick I want to lick

    Mine makes a clicking sound when it's warming up. It's the heat shield and the exhaust manifold coming up to operating temperature. It stops when it's warmed up. I know you said it was there all the time so it's probably something else.

    ECM B fuse blows instantly

    I had a similar problem on a GMC Envoy. It was a loose female spade connection on the main ground ECM/PCM plug bundle.

    205k miles. Transmission still good. Any suggestions to keep it that way?

    Transmission is still working great. I've changed fluid and filter religiously every 30-40k miles. I have the PMC of N.C. transmission cooler installed. Other than continued fluid and filter changes, is there anything else I can do preventative maintenance wise? I've heard some about valve...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect. Observations.

    I've been using Valvoline Restore and Protect for the last few oil changes It had definitely slowed down my oil consumption. I have noticed however, that it gets dirtier much faster It makes sense and I'm fine with that. What I do suggest is anyone making the switch to R&P is do your oil...

    Replacing lower radiator hose question.

    Thanks Blckshdw for the info. I tried this a few days ago. One of the tabs broke on my spring clamp and left me no way to loosen it. I ended up having to pull the alternator and grind the clamp off with a Dremel Cut off wheel. A true nightmare.

    Any special purging of air needed after replacing water pump?

    I know I need to circulate coolant through the heater core. Are there any other things that need to be done to get air out of the system? Thanks for any info.

    So the Hayden 3200 fan clutch is considered "Severe Duty"?

    I have decided to reinstall my Behr fan clutch. It works perfectly. Theres no need to install the Hayden at this point. It will remain on my spare parts shelf.

    Factory style Spring type clamps or Worm drive style?

    Thanks for the suggestion Mooseman. I decided to go with your method. I can access both 8mm nuts from the topside to snug them down as needed if they are a problem.

    Factory style Spring type clamps or Worm drive style?

    Since I decided to replace my upper and lower radiator hoses, I'm finding the spring clamps to be a nightmare. Even with the correct tool. The bottom hose where it connects to the thermostat didn't look too bad getting too it from the driver's front wheel well with the wheel removed Then the...

    So the Hayden 3200 fan clutch is considered "Severe Duty"?

    Hi Mooseman, I do tow a small trailer on occasion. 2900 lbs. I do live in S Cal and travel in Arizona towing so it's hot. So it looks the Hayden doesn't keep enough rpm to move sufficient air under more demanding conditions? Is that a known problem with all of the 3200 series? Did you...
