    in town mileage?

    100% in town driving here. 2003 5.3 and I am around 11-12 MPG (hand calced). I cleaned the air filter, MAF, TB, replaced PCV, fuel filter and ran Seafoam in crank case, and a Lucas product in the fuel. Verified tire pressure, took the roof cross bars off, put them back on, changed fuel...

    BB tuning need advice

    It's only money! Honestly, it sounds like a small price to pay for the added benefits. I hope to do a BB tune some day and I think I just talked myself into it. LOL (30th post!)

    BB tuning need advice

    Cost difference between 87 and 92 (or 93 depending on where you live) probably isn't that bad but it all depends on how many miles you drive. It's mostly psychological. Like why we drive 10 minutes out of our way to save $.05 per gallon. Where I live, there is a $.20/gallon difference...

    What is everyone's favorite online parts store these days?

    LOL Well I just "accidentally" bought it on Amazon. I must have had "one click purchase" turned on. I can cancel if I wanted to but the price was great so no need. Part number 89060413 - $53.00 on Amazon via partsdirecttoyou.info Sorry supercharged but rockauto was $77 on this one...

    What is everyone's favorite online parts store these days?

    So I jinxed myself when I thought I had fixed my P0171 & P0174 codes. They came back yesterday so I am moving on to the intake gaskets. Need to source the intake gaskets for a 5.3 motor and possibly the knock sensors too. I have no indication the knock sensors are bad but I'd like to get a...

    120k maintenance tune up

    I bet you could tackle all of that yourself with a limited set of tools and knowledge. Online Chilton access here: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13127 I bet you can find everything you need to know with that resource. Not sure who the favorite online parts dealer...

    120k maintenance tune up

    That does not sound like a good or even what I would consider "fair" deal. Charging you nearly 3 hours to change the plugs and wires? I'm a total dunce and am pretty sure I could get it done in less time than that. Also, M3PO is correct: they should diagnose the misfire first rather than...

    120k maintenance tune up

    Welcome to the forum! The problem with answering your question is: there is no set definition for "tune up". They could be including oil, filter, plugs, wires, air filter, transmission fluid, tx filter, brake fluids, pcv valve etc etc. Or not. Or more! Without a breakdown of what is...

    should I?

    Definitely! There will always be a market for nice OEM equipment. I can't imagine you ever taking a big loss on a purchase like that. Heck, let me know. I am about 2 hours south of you in Longview, WA. This place is a bad influence on me. I was perfectly happy with my bone stock...

    LED taillights Help

    If they are too small, they are too small. You can't do anything to make them grown. As you said, you could scoot them all to the top and find some trim piece to fill the bottom, but that sounds pretty ghetto. I would check with your seller, see if they have any ideas or return them...

    I seem to have fixed my code: P0171 P0174 issue...I guess

    Hey gang – wanted to share my experience working through the P0171 and P0174 (too lean bank 1 and too lean bank 2) codes. 2003 Tahoe LT 5.3 flex fuel engine, 79,700, bone stock. Background: I was tinkering with the truck a few weeks ago trying to see if I could eek out any more MPGs and...
