    2010 Tahoe loses all electrical power momentarily

    Yes, like Fless said, I think the door locks cycle when the power is restored. It happens so fast that its difficult to say what is happening. To Mikes point about the ignition switch, I had thought of that, so with the car running I wiggled the key around for a while thinking maybe something...

    2010 Tahoe loses all electrical power momentarily

    Here is something I have never experienced before, and I'm hoping someone here has, or has some recommendations: I have a 2010 Tahoe with about 260,000 miles on it. I put in a new engine and had the transmission rebuilt about 40,000 miles ago. At that time I also removed and re-loomed the...

    Cooling fan wiring colors / advice in wiring aftermarket fans

    This did the trick. In case anyone ever has this question and comes across this thread, the light blue and grey wires were the hot ones. Thanks all, and especially Doubelieve!

    Cooling fan wiring colors / advice in wiring aftermarket fans

    I am in the process of installing an Entropy Radiator which came with two larger more powerful fans in an integrated sort of shroud. Unfortunately, they use a Metronix 280 connector which is not the same as the factory harness connector. I have the parts to make my own Metronix 280 connectors...

    EGR/VVT Sys and EVAP Sys Monitors Incomplete

    This is probably what I need. Far more detailed then the other sources I have seen, and I think the devil is probably in those details. I will try this in the morning and report back. Thank you!

    EGR/VVT Sys and EVAP Sys Monitors Incomplete

    It is time for my state inspection and they hook up an OBDII scanner to the car during that inspection. I have EGR/VVT Sys Incomplete and EVAP Sys Incomplete in the I/M monitors. I am allowed to have one or the other monitor incomplete, but not both. I changed the battery in the car shortly...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I used one that I got off of Ebay. I pulled the rear interior out to sound deaden, so routing the wires was easy, and I even ran them into the hatch through the factory rubber conduit. Got power from one of the reverse lights. I have heard that some Tahoes may be plug and play with the...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Finally got my backup camera installed. And added about 100 pounds of sound deadening material to the back hatch, cargo area floor, and the area over the rear wheel wells. The camera is great, and I can definitely tell the difference with the sound and vibration while going down the road.

    Need help finding front brake hardline

    Well, disaster has struck. The mount to block bolts on the driver side loosened up and allowed the header to contact one f the brake hardlines that run along the frame rails on that side. Its a little hard to see in the picture, but you can see the staining on the header where the fluid got...

    Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

    Thanks Rocket Man! She's running great although, as with most projects like this, I am already looking at doing some more things to the Tahoe. Specifically, I think I need to upgrade the cooling system. I think an aftermarket radiator and fan set up is next. It also needs tires, and I think...

    Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

    I got the front main seal fixed, and also (finally) tracked down and fixed the transmission line leak. I don't think it'll ever be truly done, but the Tahoe is now completely drive-able, and a real blast on the road. I still have a list of things in my head that I'd like to do to it in the...

    Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

    Its time for another update... I installed a Morosso Catch Can that is marketed specifically for these vehicles (really just means that it came with a bracket that lines up with some factory bolt holes), and also installed a valve in the line going from the valve cover to the intake. No more...

    Transmission Cooler Mount Options in a Tahoe

    Shimmyt - Did you figure out where to mount it? I recently put a Derale in my 2010 Tahoe, and I think its the same model. If you are still in need of mounting location ideas, I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. I'd try to describe it but I need to go look at the car before I can even...

    Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

    Ok, after looking the car over today more closely, there is definitely oil in the exhaust. There is a coolant leak too, which I believe is coming from the rear steam crossover. I'm probably going to pull the intake, and maybe just block off the rear steam crossover. Whatever the case, I am...

    Engine Swap to stroked 6.0 (408) and general vehicle refurbishment

    No wideband. It could possibly be rich as it is on an initial tune. But I thought it would be a darker color smoke if it were rich? I'll get a video in the morning in light so the color of the smoke is more clear.
