    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    Took me longer then I thought but finally made it back to Costco for a refuel, it is labeled under 10% and after one fill up it is still reading 7% so I'm hopeful I dont have to reset every fill up, but we'll see, this Yukon has been fill of surprises.

    P0420 Code, has anybody found it to NOT be a bad cat?

    Pretty much like the title says, it's the one code I was hoping would clear when I got rid of the rich fuel condition. After resetting the fuel composition (previously had P0172/P0175) this was the only code that came back, anybody found a solution other then cats? I'm still pretending there is...

    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    Yeah..... that's what I've really been thinking about, is the black bear tune. How do you like the hellwig sway bars?! That's one of the other things I'd really like to pick up but I think shipping here to Hawaii will be unreasonable.

    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    I did not do a manual sample/test on the fuel, but multiple sources I found online says the Costco 91 Octane here on Oahu doesn't have ethanol in it, but I think I'll be over there tomorrow to see if the pump is labeled. However the reading was 67% before doing the fuel composition reset and...

    towing an Astro van 50 miles with my PPV

    There should be no problem towing the weight, but I would always go with a trailer over a dolly if you can. I've definitely put things that heavy on a uhaul car hauler, Im surprised the website is giving you trouble with that configuration.

    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    That's an interesting one, I dont think my level of annoyance has reached that cost yet, unsure what I'm going to do about it yet.

    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    Hah not yet! But it's still fairly new to me and it's mostly been ironing out all the little problems it came with. But now that I'm approaching the "all clear" status I find myself thinking, it doesn't "need" more power but it'd be a lot cooler if it did.

    Tech 2 arrived today, hopefully resolved my high alcohol %

    Finally decided to pull the trigger on a Tech 2 and hopefully resolved my codes from an abnormally high alcohol percentage in fuel with a composition reset. It seems to run better! For some reason I had gotten it in my head I could turn off the TPMS light with a Tech 2 on a 2009 but does not...

    Annoying constant dash/cd/stereo noise

    As always, I tried searching first but everything about random noises was slightly different, or temporary like just for awhile after shutting down or opening the door. This noise is 24/7, doesn't matter if an audio cd is in or out, doesn't matter if the navigation cd is in or not, I've had the...

    Rear suspension "done", on to the front...

    Yeah I was torn about which way to go with parts, one of the challenges I face is lack of reasonable shipping to Hawaii. I'm pretty much limited to what is available on Amazon and the local parts stores. I am thinking I should have gone the route you suggested. That was kind of the intention...

    Rear suspension "done", on to the front...

    Hah very true, unfortunately Ive never had the pleasure. These bumpy Hawaii roads should loosen it up pretty quick.

    Rear suspension "done", on to the front...

    I finally finished getting all my suspension parts installed, and I still feel like it rides kind of rough. I wonder if something else is in need of attention or my expectations were out of whack. I went with Arnott SK-2954 for the front, and what moog cross referenced as stock springs in the...

    Rear suspension "done", on to the front...

    Before: After: Is it sitting too high? Maybe these were the wrong springs.

    Rear suspension "done", on to the front...

    I finally got all my parts and finished getting the rear end much closer to stock. I replaced rear springs with the Moogs that cross reference with OEM spring, the Dorman compressor and (Im ashamed to admit) off brand air shocks. But so far so good, I know some people have negative things to...

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

    Replaced both downstream O2 sensors and now my new to me Yukon drives like it should, what an amazing difference from the stumbling, underpowered truck I purchased.
