    99 tahoe electrical gremlins

    The connector behind the glovebox should be C200, but check the wire colors to see if it matches: Glancing through the circuits, it’s largely transmission mounted controls but I see one circuit for the brake switch. It’d be worth checking the wiring on that - does the gear indicator show...

    Blower wheel issues

    You bring up a good point about air leaks. phatz_hatz, if the dash vents are selected does air leak out from the center floor vent? The dampers have a rubber perimeter seal that eventually rots away and causes air to leak out. That definitely decreases air flow from the dash vents. The...

    Blower wheel issues

    If the face of the evaporator is clean as mentioned above, then it’s probably as good as it gets. The next generation truck had much better airflow than these. I usually just keep the passenger vents closed on mine to get a bit more cfm on my side.

    Mystery Wires

    Not sure if this will help since mine is a 98, but the airbag impact sensor is behind the grille. There’s a connector right at the firewall. The picture isn’t the best, but I drew where the wires go.

    Parts

    Here’s a link where someone talks about the doors: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/what-doors-will-work.40301/ Best bet - get the parts from an 88-94 truck or SUV rather than a 95+ to avoid extra work due to minor differences.

    Interior Door Panels (Reproduction or used OEM)?

    Here’s a video on the Coverlay panels (with viewer comments), maybe it’ll give you an idea of how they look. The ones in the video are gray, but it’s hard to tell how close the color match is to the dash.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Just a heads up, some distributors will come with a long hold-down clamp that goes around the shaft. These fix the position which prevents you from setting the CMP offset. So, save your factory clamp and use that instead.

    Excessive heat

    Just making sure, you had the temperature dial in the “max” detent when checking for voltage? And the vacuum line from the solenoid to the PCV fitting is intact?

    [SOLVED] 99 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 misfire

    Here’s the diagram for a 99 350, the yellow/black should be for the #6 injector. To me, it sounds like it may be grounding out between the injector harness and VCM. Maybe disconnect both ends and check for continuity (one probe to a ground, the other probe to one end of the wire). Jiggle it...

    [SOLVED] 99 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 misfire

    Was it doing it before the distributor cap was replaced? Delco caps don’t give me issues, but I’ve had single-cylinder misfires of new parts store brand caps before. A spark tester on plug #6 wouldn’t hurt - see how spark quality compares with the others. Have you done a coolant pressure test...

    1999 Tahoe Shift issue

    He may have messed up the shift cable, there’s a clip on the side of the transmission that has to be pushed in to keep it right. Here’s the adjustment procedure…

    Does anyone know the name of this part?

    GM called it a rear bumper filler and had two part numbers for it: 15680493 (black) and 15160516 as paint to match, so it was presumably a matte finish black or something. It’s almost certainly discontinued from GM unless a dealer can find one in stock somewhere. Otherwise, it’d be a salvage...

    [SOLVED] Recommend Fuel Pressure Tester?

    Good deal, glad you got it sorted out. As for the TBI on the box, technically ours had the central fuel injection versus TBI on 95 and under models. Those may not have had a threaded fitting on the line for testing. Instead, I think you had to splice into the fuel line at the filter or...

    [SOLVED] Recommend Fuel Pressure Tester?

    I’ve had this one for maybe ten years, but it has the threaded connector for the schrader valve.

    Heater Not Blowing Hot Like It Used To

    What are the temperatures of the two hoses before and after the valve? Hoses number 1, 10, 16 and 18 in the image below… 10 and 18 are the outlet, so they would be the same temperature if the valve is not obstructed. Same thing for 1 and 16.
