    Wireless Charging

    I ordered the kit from Boost and installed it over the weekend. Super easy, works great. Maybe a little pricey, but there's not alot of alternatives on the market. As part of the kit, there is an adapter that allows you to disconnect the power plug from a cigarette lighter, plug in this...

    Flex Fuel

    I've got an '04 Tahoe that supposedly is Flex Fuel capable, but besides the VIN (1GNEC13Z74R146854) there is no other indication anywhere that it actually uses Flex Fuel. Can anyone confirm, for sure, whether it is or not? Are there any benefits to using Flex Fuel? Thanks.

    Torsion bars?

    Oh, and..... Rather than adjusting the torsion bars so that the front fender measurements are 1" lower than the rear fender measurements, do I need to wait until I replace all the jounce bumpers and then adjust the torsion bars until the bumpers rest on the control arms?

    Torsion bars?

    Are there jounce bumpers in the rear also? I don't remember what the front ones look like, but I do remember seeing something like those on the rear and they looked old and dry-rotted. I didn't think much of replacing them, because I thought they were only there in case you hit a bump so hard...

    Torsion bars?

    Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

    Torsion bars?

    "Jack boat in the key", what's that? "Top of the fender", where exactly do you mean? Where the fender meets the hood? What would be a normal measurement for a stock setup? Thanks.

    Torsion bars?

    I'm new to my Tahoe, so I'm not sure if I'm getting the terminology right, so bear with me and correct as necessary. I noticed that the passenger's side front corner was lower than the driver's side. I thought maybe it had some accident damage, but when I got under the truck, I noticed that...

    Wireless Charging

    Just ordered the Boost kit. Exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!

    Wireless Charging

    In the new Tahoe's, they added wireless charging to the top of the center console armrest/storage door. I have an '04 that has the cubby thing on top of the console armrest that's good for holding a phone (The black part in the picture). Has anyone added wireless charging to that surface, so...

    Blend doors

    Bit of an update/wrapup. I found the driver's and passenger's blend doors unplugged. I plugged them back in and cycled several times from full hot to full cold and everything worked fine. I don't know why someone unplugged them, but if I had to guess, either they were failing intermittently...

    Blend doors

    I replaced the climate control module because the temp dials were failing. The numbers would just jump up and down no matter how you turn it. It didn't have any effect on the lack of heat. I put my scanner on it and got these 2 codes from the HVAC system: B0414-13 Temp control 1 feedback...

    2004 Tahoe Throttle issue

    Here's the end result of this issue. Same write up as my other thread: So I put in the ECM I got online from the '04 Suburban with a 5.3l. I did the 3 cycles of 15 minutes with the key on. The truck started right up the next time. I let it idle for about 15 minutes. Since the ECM came from a...

    Wrong ECM

    So I put in the ECM I got online from the '04 Suburban with a 5.3l. I did the 3 cycles of 15 minutes with the key on. The truck started right up the next time. I let it idle for about 15 minutes. Since the ECM came from a different vehicle with all it's own learned info, I disconnected the...

    Wrong ECM

    So, I found an ECU from an '04 Suburban with the 5.3l. It has the same part number as what I "think" my Tahoe is supposed to have, 12586242. Hopefully, other than having the wrong VIN, it will clear up some of the wierd stuff going on, so I can focus on what really needs my attention. I'll try...

    Head bolt length 04 5.3 flex z code

    Do you remember the cutoff between the engine with different size head bokts and the one with all the same size? I have an '04 and I don't know which ones I need.
