    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

    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

    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...

    Should I be concerned?

    2007 Tahoe 4WD I offer the longer narrative so that you understand the workmanship of a national company and my concerns. A few months ago I had the U-joints and control arms replaced as well as a complete alignment while in Omaha at Brakes Plus. (I generally do stuff myself, but I was...

    Lots of flats....Tire question

    I've done a lot of searching on here about tire sizes for the '07 and need to replace all of mine tomorrow. I bought a low mileage '07 Tahoe a few weeks ago and it currently has Eagle LS 2 P275/55R20 tires that are virtually new. I've had to get 6 patches within the past 2 weeks due to...

    Need electrical info

    My rear center console entertainment system and AC controller have no power. All fuses seem to be good following an Ohm test. Everything looks as though it's hooked up correctly to the rear controller. Does anybody have a schematic for the wiring to this thing? I would think that if something...

    No RES or Rear AC controller power

    I just bought a 2007 Tahoe LT (Head unit is navigation w/ rear backup camera.) There is absolutely no power to the rear entertainment system controller / rear AC controller. The aux power button from the head unit controls the rear air perfect, but there is nothing displayed on the rear...

    Heat only at higher RPMs

    I've done searches everywhere but the solutions offered don't resolve my issue. I have a 2000 LT 5.3 and recently arrived in Omaha where we have freezing temps and recent snow. I'm from Florida and the weather is never freezing so the truck got to normal temp relatively fast year round. I...

    EVAP Question

    My purge solenoid is lacking vacuum which results in a woodpecker sound coming from the solenoid. I ran an independent tube all the way back to where it connects so it doesn't appear to be a vacuum leak in the line. Its tube plugs into a canister near the fuel tank and I was wondering what to...

    Quick Throttle Body Question

    I just received my new AC Delco throttle body from rockauto.com ($106 and surprisingly it included a new IAC and TPS). It has the metal piece for the cruise control's plastic part to fit on; however, I can't figure out how to remove the plastic piece for the cruise control from the old TB...

    AC blend door question...rear A/C HOT

    The rear A/C in my 2000 Tahoe LT is blowing HOT. This is obviously a blend door issue whereas regardless of whether I use the front or rear control panel, it does the same thing. Is this the same blend door that controls the front which is located under the glove box? I know there is a mode...

    TPS signal voltage at idle?

    I'm plucking and chucking parts following an engine swap but cannot locate the proper signal voltage for the TPS at idle. I get the 5v reference voltage and a smooth transition through the response range but cannot find what the proper signal voltage should be when idling. I'm reading .647v at...

    Idle issues and "black" fuel

    I'm having issues with my 2000 Tahoe 5.3 idling at 500 when warm and about 550 when cold. Activating the AC does not change the idle RPM. Chevy says all readings are within range after cleaning the EGR and replacing the MAF. The MAP sensor tested within range, a new IAC was installed, and new...

    Engine tapping w/ video

    I recently swapped the old 186k for an "alleged" 44k mile engine that the salvage yard now has no available VIN record for. (This will be addressed via sworn complaint with the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice - Division of Criminal Investigation where the engine was shipped from.) There are several...

    Starting issue when warm

    Just swapped the old 5.3 for another one with 44k miles. (Cylinder 6 had a small nut grenade in it following an intake manifold gasket job. Apparently the nut was just sitting in one of the extremely deep pits between 6 and 8 in the manifold and popped in number 6 upon sliding the manifold out...

    Gasket replacement hell...help!

    I just replaced the intake manifold gasket on my 2000 Tahoe 5.3L and have a SERIOUS problem. After replacing the gasket and reinstalling all of the components I started the vehicle. It fired and ran for about 3 seconds, followed by a clunk and dying. I pulled it all apart again, checked...
