    Any Transmission Guys? 2006 Suburban Shifting Issue

    At this point I don't think it's a physical issue in the trans. Still working with the electronics side. A rebuilt trans will operate the same if electrical...

    Any Transmission Guys? 2006 Suburban Shifting Issue

    Well, Scanned for codes with the big shop scanner. No transmission codes. Only codes stored were P0172 and P0175. These are more than likely from the CAI. They have popped up prior to this situation a handful of times in colder weather and harder acceleration/deceleration Still no CEL light...

    Any Transmission Guys? 2006 Suburban Shifting Issue

    I've read the 4L80E has issues with the TPS. Mine is the 4L60E. I'm not sure if they function the same with the same computer inputs. I plan on replacing the TPS hopefully this weekend. The dang OE part is riveted onto the throttle body. I need to drill the rivet and replace with nuts/bolts...

    Smog test

    You know to continue using classic plates you need to carry specific classic car insurance to renew registration. My registration expired in Aug and I haven't bothered to change my insurance. I'll wait till my last premium expires then go with Hagerty.

    Just curious. Why is your 75 Jeep exempt? Classic Plates? I have classic plates but I haven't added the classic car insurance yet.

    I think muh transmission is about to poop the bed.

    Does your truck have a tach? Do the RPMs match what the engine is doing or are the RPMs running high compared to speed? I just wonder if the trans is slipping or if it could be an engine power issue

    Motorcycle shipping

    A little side note from when I was in junior high and we moved from Subic Bay Philippines to San Pedro Ca. My dad was in the Marines and wanted to ship his Yamaha 650 he had purchased in the PI to Long Beach. The problem was the military only paid to ship one vehicle, the family station wagon...

    Show Off your Classic or Performance Car

    It's alive again. It got parked in Aug 2020 when laid off due to covid. Last moved Apr. 2022. It's been driven 12 miles since 2020. Registration issues due to DMV closure, fuel pump went bad from sitting, tires were old, and battery finally died. All issues fixed and ready to rock again.

    Help me figure out what's going on with my Suburban

    I'm guessing this is an LS motor? 5.3? Static FP should maintain at 55-60 with the key on. Running it should be around 50-55 psi. Could be a fuel pressure regulator, or a bad fuel pump. I'm going to say a bad fuel filter isn't going to cause the pressure to drop. Gas engine FPR is easy to...

    NV AB349 Classic Car Plates & Insurance

    And it will serve the purpose to have those cars that can't pass smog off the road. I still think it has a green agenda IMO, it's a sideways way to tie up the law they already have to classify a classic vehicle. They should have a rolling exemption date from the current 1967- older exemption or...

    All Terrain Tires?

    I picked up 4 AT Trail Finders from Discount Tires. Standard load 265/75R16's. I think they were around $120 each but I want to say there was a discount code?? We don't do any serious off roading. Groomed fire/dirt roads mainly. It fills our needs.

    NEW TRUCK

    FSJ's Rock! I had an old Wagoneer with the 258 and manual trans. An HEI conversion is a nice upgrade. I also did a Weber DGEV carb swap on mine. Regret selling every time I see one.
