    Problematic P2135 code

    Well, another continuation of the last update. It has been acting absolutely perfect the last several times we have driven it. Multiple conditions. 2 hour round trip. In town idling. Rain. Wondering if the connections were not great on the other module. And once it had a chance to sync...

    How many miles is too many for used?

    i have no desire to go past the 800 platform, although i believe in terms to engine life, if you take a 900 and delete the afm ( basically turning into an older engine mechanics then it has the potential to last as long as the old ones also). transmissions? that is another question. body...

    So, as best I can ****** for now, is that it is a 79' that hasn't run since 06' or so. Has an electrical issue and many other things from sitting. But looks like is in decent shape, and I have a big hankering for it. Have to see what we can work out. I had talked with her dad about it...

    Going to speed this up a lot. But we started to get some work done. The first crew that started to frame did some bad things. They cut a 1" gas main with a sawzall. Could have been a big bada boom. Many phone calls, fire trucks, utility peoples but got taken care of with no...

    Problematic P2135 code

    i replied to this the other day, but apparently it didn't go through from my phone. i swapped modules and it took time, but it was the Denali that gave the codes, not the Tahoe, it has been a couple days and Tahoe is still doing fine on the Denali module so guessing that isn't the issue. i...
