    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    thanks for the input!

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    Is there a servo/ actuator of some sort on the front diff? Assuming it gets power from the transfer case?

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    Interesting. That would be the easiest solution. Is there anything going on at the front axle as far as engaging the “hubs” or does it all happen at the transfer case?

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    Thanks for the input everyone. My son and I are dropping a K5 Blazer body onto a 2000-2006 Tahoe chassis. I’m going back and forth between customizing the heck out of the wiring and ancillary systems, or just using all of the Tahoe wiring/ components and going with a custom “retro” type dash...

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    Is there anything that happens with the front hubs/ differential? I’m wondering what “tells” the transfer case and front axle to lock everything in 4wd.

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    I’m wanting to be able to select 4Hi or 4LO and have the system work as designed. I think “auto” would rely on the ABS computer, which I wasn’t planning to keep. I messaged Painless wiring also.

    2001 Tahoe 4wd theory

    I’m looking at using a 2001 Tahoe as the basis for a project. Does anyone know off the top of their heads what happens when you push the “4wd” button? I used to have a 2002, but I don’t recall if it had a BCM or any other annoying computers like the newer ones do. What I’m trying to do...

    p0128 Engine temp below thermostat temperature/ strange O2 sensor values

    I’d go ahead and replace that sensor just for peace of mind. At least now you know what to look for.

    p0128 Engine temp below thermostat temperature/ strange O2 sensor values

    was the old thermostat actually stuck open? I’m still having a hard time imagining GM designing a cooling so efficient that the engine won’t reach operating temperature if the thermostat is stuck open. GM is famous for underengineering things, and I’ve been wrenching on them for over 40 years...

    p0128 Engine temp below thermostat temperature/ strange O2 sensor values

    I can’t fathom the thermostat sticking “open” causing the engine to never get to temperature. I think it would get there eventually. In my case, the gauge was showing no movement whatsoever, and I drive 75-80 for half an hour each way to work. I also had hot heat in the cab, so I’m confident...

    Considering buying a 2017 Tahoe Lt--need input from 4th gen owners

    don’t rule out a PPV if the braking and handling on the civilian models is too soft for you. You can always bolt a third row seat in if needed.

    PPV and SSV - AFM and DFM

    My 2015 has 174K on it now (I bought it with 120-something) and I’m not having any indication that the AFM system is in distress. I can feel it engage/ disengage on the highway. I don’t think I’d spend the money to tear into this engine to replace them, I’d probably build up a lower mile unit...

    DIY Video for coolant temp sensor/ thermostat/ serpentine belts

    Here’s a couple of DIYs that make things a little simpler before you dive in:

    What’s wrong with my 2015 Tahoe?

    The fans running constantly and that code are a sure sign of the Coolant Temp Sensor. Do the thermostat at the same time, its about $60 worth of parts:

    question on steering wheels and clusters

    Thanks for the reply. WAMS really likes the Denali Clusters, apparently they’re pretty easy to program compared to the others. I’ll send them this ’18 PPV one and see what happens.
