We got around 16"-18" of snow, I got to test out the NV149 AWD case the 06 SD has and all I can say is WOW! It had no trouble plowing out of all the snow behind it, and I was driving through spots up over the fog lights. This truck is awesome in deep snow!! It has Michelin Defenders in it and they have great bite in snow! I can't decide if I like the SD in the snow more than my 09 6.2 Tahoe in the snow, lol. They both exceeded my expectations in the snow today. Colorado roads were in pretty bad shape today.

Awesome! My Denali AWD with that same TC does great in the snow too.

From my experience now, I'd buy used calipers with brackets from a fresh (2017-2019) Tahoe/Silverado/Escalade off eBay. You'll get OEM quality for around $100 each.

Btw, 2017 brakes will fit 2001. Here is a guy doing exactly that:

Interesting. What size are those rotors? I’ll bet I’d need larger than 18’s to clear them.

Sounds like a vent solenoid. The problems with the fueling probably related too, but there are some gas stations that just got too much flow. I don't have fueling problems anywhere, but Costco. So, at Costco gas station I just put in the fueling gun at an angle, so the seal is not sealing, and it does the trick. Greenpeace is upset :-(

Code has not returned.....yet. I replaced the vent and purge solenoid recently. <18 months. Doesn't mean it hasn't failed, just mean less likely. I have never replaced the canister until now. I filled on Saturday evening with success, so fingers crossed. If the code returns, the sensors are so inexpensive, I will just get one of each.

I have this issue intermittently. Drives the wife nuts. One of these days I'll mess with it...

Sounds like you got it.
