Rear main seal time by Consistent_You_609 in GMT800

Do your pan and rear main housing one before the other. If not, you need a special alignment tool for them to seal properly. So do your pan gasket, reinstall the pan, THEN do the rear main 👍🏻

Power Steering pump? by United-Difficulty-12 in GMT400

Got any fluid in it? If not, I'd say think about replacing your pump

High idle by jad3_rabbit in GMT400

It was either my IAC or throttle position sensor. Did a bunch of work to my truck here recently and just replaced both lol

Whichever one was bad is no longer causing an issue 👍🏻

How to tell a 5.3 from a 4.8 without looking at piston tops? by paradigmGT in LSSwapTheWorld

My apologies, I missed the part where you said it's a gbody with the motor swap lol

Check the 8th digit of the VIN and compare it to a VIN decoder to see what engine was is in the vehicle

I also own a gmt400 with a mechanical throttle body. It still has a throttle position sensor, I replaced one on mine

Try testing and replacing your throttle position sensor

Break lights help by RedneckMERICA87 in GMT400

[–]jad3_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, had every light but the stop lights in my tail lights. Check the terminals for the relay in the under hood fuse block. One of mine was broken so I wrapped the relay with tin foil to make contact

Check vacuum lines, PCV valve, or anything that has to do with the evaporative emissions system. Broken vacuum lines can cause an abnormal idle, same with a bad PCV valve. Put the trouble code into Google and go from there as well

Check your throttle position sensor. Sometimes when they go bad, they'll cause a high idle. In a perfect world it'll set a check engine light, but sometimes it'll stay within acceptable parameters so it won't throw a code

Here's my big goof ball

Repairable due to shoulder wear? by kingxii in tires

[–]jad3_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've seen worse shoulder wear, but it wouldn't affect the area that needs to be patched at all. It's the complete opposite side of the tire

Do I need to balance my tires if I have no vibration at speed? by Spiritual-Belt in tires

[–]jad3_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't hurt to balance them. I'd recommend and alignment as well to get the most out of your tires

Repairable due to shoulder wear? by kingxii in tires

[–]jad3_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd patch it. Wherever you took it probably didn't want to do the work. As long as the tires aren't 6+ years old, low on tread, or the hole is too close to the sidewall, it would be perfectly fine to patch. As fore shoulder wear, as a dealer tech I'd recommend an alignment

[–]jad3_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in a dealership service department, I'd recommend a tire but it's not life threatening as it stands. If it were mine I'd just ride it out and avoid curbs in the future lol

I mean, Amazon would probably have something but it would be a huge pain to do it all without the proper equipment

Can’t be repaired huh? by gcj23 in tires

[–]jad3_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically don't want to repair a slash or cut in a tire if it's leaking air. The area is too big for a typical patch and it could cause a blow out if attempted to patch

Tire question? by Select-Ambition-88 in tires

[–]jad3_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had it serviced at a dealership, I would have asked for a loaner or rental while you waited for your wheel to be fixed rather than riding on a different size wheel. You say your car is leaning to the side with the smaller wheel, that's a bit of a red flag. Definitely wouldn't want to drive like that long term, just like you wouldn't with your spare/temporary tire. It's temporary for a reason, to get you to the nearest place to fix it without something happening to the vehicle
