    2011 5.3 engine noise, lend me your ears

    Both good guesses, but nope.

    2011 5.3 engine noise, lend me your ears

    I don't know how to explain it other than the rough idle and sound was caused by a gunky tb. I've dealt with this in previous vehicles, but yeah this thing sounded like something was about to fall off. Ever since I cleaned out the throttle body it runs very smoothly. I hope it's not just a...

    Maybe, it seemed to have been fitted properly but it surely was nasty in there.

    Just following the rules to riddle engagement! I'll go ahead and say just so that posterity can at least look into this before they start removing intake manifolds and headers and dropping transmissions and such. The throttle body was gunked up. I got in with some 99% isopropyl alcohol and some...

    2011 5.3 engine noise, lend me your ears

    Yeah, I'm not trying to be cryptic, but genuinely want to see if others offer a possible fix. Not a wiring problem. That's not exactly true since I have a driver's side headlight that keeps going out, a passenger seat heating element not working, very intermittent cruise control, and the air...

    2011 5.3 engine noise, lend me your ears

    New information, or rather information I already had, but didn't think it was important. You be the judge. I did have an old code that I didn't really think about, because the problem just started recently, so I assumed that it was because of a recent code. The code in question: P0121 Go! Hint...

    I used a stethoscope, couldn't really find anything unusual, but I didn't probe the starter or catalytic converter. I think I'm going to take it by the muffler shop next.

    Idles rough when the noise engaged, otherwise idles smooth. Nothing noticable while driving or changing gear that I know of. Once the noise started we pretty much parked it. Oil and oil pressure looks fine.

    I did not, but I paid attention while the clutch engaged and there was no noticable change. Another thing I've noticed is that there is a definite exhaust leak. I figured it might be a loose pipe connection or header. Would an exhaust leak cause rough idle?

    Codes thrown are P0521 P0523, I've already replaced the oil pressure sensor (you can see it right around :40), boy was that a task. I have not done the DOD delete, makes the noise with belt removed. I'm wondering if this is a lifter. What do your ears tell you?

    Tpms reset needed?

    Thank you, I was hoping there was a simple solution to this. I took it down the road, and just as I was losing hope the light went off before I made it back to the house.

    Tpms reset needed?

    Thanks. I didn't think it was the right section, but I was just following the section a previous poster had about the TPMS. I just want to confirm that this is in fact a lot more complicated than it needs to be. I don't mind that, but if it's something super simple I don't want to miss that...

    Tpms reset needed?

    2011 Tahoe LTZ. My low pressure light came on and display tells me my RR tire is low. I put the correct pressure in, does the sensor not know when the pressure is correct so that it can reset? Do I need to buy the reset tool to get this thing so it's not showing a low tire, or am I missing...

    Side mirror replacement or fix

    In for answers. I just found out that my passenger side mirror does not fold in, I'm guessing it's a motor, but I just want to see what some of the options were to get this fixed.

    Just bought a 2011 Tahoe LTZ and looking for a tuner

    Thank you. I have not disregarded your advice. I won't make any decision hastily.
