    OBD II scanner fried control module

    On 5/18 the check engine light came on and I had O'Reilly pull the code. It showed only P0442 for a small EVAP leak. I had recently changed the fuel pump and had problems connecting the EVAP line that ran over the frame with only 1" of clearance in the rear. On 5/19, I made a better...

    Gas smell

    I ordered the Bosch simply because it can be delivered this Sunday (Amazon has an arrangement with USPS to deliver on Sundays and Holidays.) I wanted the one you got, but it couldn't be here until Tuesday. Also ordered a new locking ring. ---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous...

    Gas smell

    Found the problem. The fuel pump is so badly corroded that it is leaking a LOT of fuel.

    Gas smell

    My research has produced every possibility imaginable. I parked my truck at airport parking for two weeks in order to fill in on a band's national tour. Upon my return the truck started right up and ran perfectly all the way home. Once I turned it off and stepped out an hour later, I smelled...

    CLUNK...THUNK...POP...neat

    It was the one closest to the driver feet area. All the body mounts sit in a metal "cup" and that one's "cup" was extremely close to the frame. I put a small composite shim under the edge of it and backed out of the driveway a few times. Once I checked, the thin shim had been severely indented...

    ABS & Brake Light Fix

    You will probably have a stored code C0265. The most difficult part is getting it off the truck due to stripping out the screws. If everything goes smooth, you should have it off in a matter of minutes. I was bored and stuck at home with a cold, so figured I would tinker with it. I have a degree...

    Help! Both the Stabilitrak/Traction Control and ABS lights are lit up on my DIC!

    ^^ Yep. I just put on a leveling kit and this happened. I checked for tension on the speed sensor cable and it seemed fine at the wheel when the suspension was maxed out. (I didn't see the connectors or I would have unplugged them myself.) On top of each rail there is a connector, simply plug...

    CLUNK...THUNK...POP...neat

    Pretty sure I've found the clunk sound.....BODY MOUNT INSULATORS! The front left one near the strut assembly is shot for sure. It also explains the clunk while turning and sounding as if it's in the wheel area but no feedback in the steering wheel. Looks like a fun project!

    CLUNK...THUNK...POP...neat

    I guess when I replace the suspension I'll go ahead and pull every steering/suspension/axle component off the truck and do those too. Thanks for the info. I guess I'm accustomed to experiencing bad motor mounts in a car which are usually pretty obvious and easy to replace. I have a 2007 4WD...

    CLUNK...THUNK...POP...neat

    I recorded and watched the mount/engine as it was braked torqued. (Never let a girl do this while your standing in front of the vehicle. I had a near death experience tonight....she let off the accelerator AND brake at the same time when I told her to "let off") There was only an inch or so of...

    Fixing the Famous *CLUNK* Noise

    4WD cannot use grease due to use of Auto Track II in TC. (I've posted the info below.) I just serviced the front/rear differentials and transfer case. No pump rub hole in the TC yet and I'll be doing the TC pump upgrade in the near future. Transfer Case Pump Upgrade parts and watch the "Chevy...

    CLUNK...THUNK...POP...neat

    I was going to put this in a suspension thread, but don't know if it is the suspension... I get a solid "thunk" from the front driver side wheel area and I've done everything imaginable to find it. I primarily notice it when reversing and cutting the wheel left and its usually at the end of...

    Rancho QuickLIFT

    It's time to replace my struts/coils/shocks. I can get new OEM equivalent struts, shocks and a CCW 2.5"f/1"r leveler for $100 less than Rancho's best stuff. I figure I might as well spend the extra money on this: RS999901 - RANCHO LOADED QUICKLIFT COMPLETE STRUT ASSEMBLY 2" FRONT LIFT...

    B pillar rattle

    I'm going through this myself and found this thread from 2010.... I've got rattles coming from the passenger seat and rear passenger side seat. I've removed the headrests for diagnosis and it wasn't those.. The only thing that makes the rattling go away is when someone is sitting in those...

    Should I be concerned?

    As for the rust....it's this truck! It only has 72k miles on it (20k in the past 6 months) and my 2000 Tahoe had 210k miles and driven through the same conditions. The difference is that the older Tahoe didn't have a spot of rust on it. (Sadly it was totaled by a dump truck after I dropped a new...
