    P0521 and P0523 error code during roadtrip

    Lol I don’t. I got a new torque wrench needed one anyway. Got everything put back together, codes gone, oil pressure sensor working properly again. Got a little bit of smoke on startup but II‘m guessing that was due to the spilled fuel. Outside of breaking the pcv hose to the intake and having...

    P0521 and P0523 error code during roadtrip

    We well I cleaned it up probably not to that level of detail. Bake cleaner on a rag did all around the ports. Air compressor into the ports to get debris out then shop vac everything up. I did put a new gasket on. The old one didn’t look too bad but figured swap it since I had it already. Only...

    Well I took the manifold off it wasn’t as tricky as I’d thought it’d be. Kind of dirty underneath there so gonna try to clean it up some.

    P0521 and P0523 error code during roadtrip

    Oil pressure shows 0 but no error codes other than the two I mentioned. Also no popular of low oil pressure or anything. I was about a quart low so I just topped it off. I normally keep a couple of quarts with me. I’ll be watching it closely on the way home. But no new leaks and nothing else out...

    P0521 and P0523 error code during roadtrip

    Typically I’d try to do it but I just can’t get the connector off (after climbing into the engine bay and trying for like an hour). Could be due to me being sick too so brain is all foggy.

    P0521 and P0523 error code during roadtrip

    Hey everyone my 2010 Tahoe popped up with these codes a day before I head back home a little less than 1k miles from Florida to Texas. As far as I can tell it’s the sensor or filter. No abnormal noise from the engine at all. Should I try to get it swapped before I head back? I do have to tow my...

    Transmission Cooler Mount Options in a Tahoe

    I'll definitely keep folks updated. As far as I know not really. Although I ddi find this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/293140906299 it's basically a SS bumper. That'd be better then my current thought process of turning the front license plate area into a ghetto grill.

    Transmission Cooler Mount Options in a Tahoe

    Hey everyone so I've a 2010 Chevy Tahoe with the base 5.3 and a 4L60. I've got a small travel trailer and for towing I picked up a Derale 13960. I'm looking for mounting options, i'd prefer not to go in front of the radiator (I did a lot of reading in @Geotrash thread about overheating engines...

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

    Upgraded my rotors and pads to the heavy duty power stops. First time doing a brake job. Tomorrow it’s getting a good wash. Next weekend swapping out the rear diff fluid and maybe installing my new transmission cooler.

    Smaller Trailer Upgrades Worth It?

    Yeah this trip is making me rethink my entire tool setup when traveling. Will be bringing a breaker bar, ext, impact wrench and a new bottle jack.

    Smaller Trailer Upgrades Worth It?

    Yep didn’t use tow haul mode till day 2 but once we figured that out then manual mode for going downhill everything became a lot easier. Funny you mention the tires they are the Goodyear endurance rated at 87mph but sure enough 1 of the tires almost blew when we were about 6hrs from home. It was...

    Smaller Trailer Upgrades Worth It?

    Thanks! outside of a few dings in the front bumper, a couple of scratches and a couple of sun spots it's a really good looking truck. Not quite 21 - 23. Could be due to the way I drive but I get around 19 - 21 on the high end. Thanks for the insight! You've given me some ideas. I think I'm def...

    Smaller Trailer Upgrades Worth It?

    I did not know it was an XFE model! During the trip we got about 11.6mpg. This will pretty much be the tow setup for the next couple of years. We are looking at the Grand Design 22RBE models the GWVR on those is 6995 which I think is gonna be beyond what I want to take this Tahoe up to so we'd...

    Honestly it towed pretty well with that weight back there but we were super conservative on speed never going over 65.
