    Front suspension rebuild - a couple questions

    I'm doing all four front control arms, new struts, and sway bar links/bushings. Done with driver's side, passenger side to go. For the control arms, I'm using Delphi for all four. Looks like the same castings as my original, just about every ridge and casting mark identical. Quality seems...

    Tech 2 scanner vs Autel

    Pretty sure that's where I bought mine in the last six months or so. Turned out alright for me so far. Quality is OK. I'm guessing all these Chinese clones are pretty much identical to each other anyway. I got mine quickly, not much more than a week. The only problem I've had is the...

    Ball Joint Replacement

    I’ve got all four CAs (Delphi, from RA) sitting in my shop right now, waiting for me to have the time to replace them. Going to do sway bar end links at same time, and trying to decide if I want to do struts too.

    NNBS Swap out single speed T-case for two speed

    If anyone is contemplating this swap, this thread has more info than mine. I read through it multiple times.

    NNBS Swap out single speed T-case for two speed

    I finally did this swap. Bought all the stuff months ago: eBay for the correct OEM dash knob and TCCM, LKQ for a 2-speed T-case with around 120K miles. Mechanically the swap was no problem - everything came apart and went back together fine. My second t-case swap in one of these rigs (my...

    SOLVED: Troubleshooting 2013 rear park assist

    I bought this rig in Sept of last year and I finally have gotten rid of the ever-present "Service Park Assist" DIC message. The problem and solution were simple: one of the four original sensors was bad, and a simple replacement with an OEM sensor solved the problem. Unfortunately, I made it...

    Tech 2 showing multiple DTCs - Related?

    Bought a new interstate (non-AGM) at Costco yesterday and put it in - I'd have liked to get the Delco, but just wanted to get it done without ordering or running around to different stores. Out the door at Costco for $130. Cold cranking speed much faster now (didn't even notice it was slower...

    Tech 2 showing multiple DTCs - Related?

    Yup, that's probably it: Battery voltage: 11.4 Batt. open ckt. voltage: 12.45 Batt. voltage high res: 11.59 This was what it was showing tonight, key on/engine off, cold (but in my shop), hasn't been run in 24 hours. Probably will replace it after Christmas. I usually buy my batteries at...

    Did this test tonight. Both "State of Charge" and "Start State of Charge" are showing at 70% and it says "NO" in the "Low State of Charge" field. Still suspect a problem with the battery, or are the DIC messages coming from something else?

    Thanks for the tips. Good reminder to look for TSBs on the specific issues. Found this one: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10112024-9999.pdf Seems like it's saying to ignore the B2555 codes for the lighting circuits - I don't have courtesy lights in the door panels. And I'll take...

    Yeah, I was writing out that post I did wonder about it possibly being a bad ground somewhere. My guess is the troubleshooting Swathdiver is recommending will explore that possibility. Thanks. I considered that, but really a different topic. after replacing harness and sensors, I don't think...

    2013 Tahoe LT, 5.3. 198K miles. I've posted previously about a DIC message I repeatedly get on "Service Parking Assist." The system consistently works fine - all four sensors are triggering when appropriate, but the messages are annoying and I'm still wondering if there are underlying...

    SOLVED: Troubleshooting 2013 rear park assist

    No, I haven't done that. I haven't done any sensor swapping yet. But I did do some additional testing this weekend. I believe all four sensors are working fine. I had engine running, trans in reverse, wheels blocked/park brake on and could get all four to trigger by lowering a piece of...

    Most miles with stock AFM system?

    I bought my ‘13 Tahoe 5.3 in September with 197k. AFM was working 100% fine with good oil pressure, no ticking, not noticeable when engaging, etc. But I have since had it tuned out.
