    Flex fuel or gas?

    I’m assuming that’s the relay labeled F/PMP. I have some spare relays, so I will go ahead and replace that as well. And just to clarify, I didn’t have an issue with the pump itself. I busted a fuel line and literally pumped out a full tank of gas in just over half an hour. I just figured...

    Flex fuel or gas?

    There is a filter on the frame rail. And I will be changing that as well.

    Flex fuel or gas?

    Thanks @iamdub. That’s the kind of info I was looking for. I’ll check that when I look at the VIN numbers.

    Flex fuel or gas?

    I had not thought of that. I’ll check that ASAP.

    Flex fuel or gas?

    So, if that pump has worked previously, I should be okay with the same as a replacement, right? That leaves me with my original question. Is there a way to tell, by looking at the engine, if it’s flex or gas? Because I think it has been changed. It’s in too good of shape to be original, I’m...

    Flex fuel or gas?

    The VIN is 1GNEK13ZX3J283139. As you can see, the eight digit is Z. When I bought it, the engine looked very clean and runs like a champ. I think it has been replaced with. Gas only engine. Is there a way to tell?

    Flex fuel or gas?

    So, no responses so far. Is there an easy way to tell if my engine is gasoline only? My VIN says it’s flex, but I think it may have been swapped.

    Flex fuel or gas?

    According to my VIN, my truck is flex fuel (Z). But I had to drop the tank to replace a line this weekend and the lines and pump match what online stores have for gas only trucks. Can the flex Tahoes be converted to gas only? I rarely even see E85 fuel anywhere, much less use it, so gas only...

    Mysterious door lock issue

    After some digging around in the wiring diagrams, I found that the rear doors and liftgate locks go through the BCM, but not the front door locks. That explains some of the stuff I noticed, but might mean I need to replace the BCM. @TEXCHEVY, thanks for the info. I'll try that before I look...

    Mysterious door lock issue

    It's me again.... Problem 1: One of the things on my list to update/fix was the power door locks for the rear doors and liftgate. So, I got the liftgate actuator and just hadn't gotten around to replacing it. The other day, I noticed that as I locked the doors with the fob, I heard ALL the...

    Dutchman's Tahoe Build

    I thought that was odd when I first turned them on, but if you move to the sides you can see them. At about 30 degrees you can see both. At about 45 degrees and beyond, the bottom row can really be seen and the top row fades. It's the way the reflectors are designed. I can't say I'm 100% a...

    Dutchman's Tahoe Build

    Ah, didn't think about that. Good thing they're easy to take out. The brackets seemed good, but I didn't really compare the two while I had them out. I think that's something I'll do when I take them out again. If the other ones look sturdier I might switch them. But, on a good note, my new...

    Dutchman's Tahoe Build

    The OE stuff is still connected to the sides. I just left it there. There's also a wayward blown fuse down there too that I can't reach yet. Here are my LEDs... I mounted the LEDs in the housing first to make sure there was no clearance issues.

    Dutchman's Tahoe Build

    UPDATE I got my cables to do my BIG3 upgrade last week, so I started working on that. I think I did good to get the positive cable run on the first day. I'll continue to work on the others. (Cutting that dang big cable is a bear for an old guy with arthritis! :eek:) I found these post...

    Overhead A/C controls

    Yeah, I was debating on whether to just do that and see what happens. I just thought I'd throw out the question and see if someone had done this before.
