    2004 Tahoe z71 value

    I'm thinking these 00-06 go between 3-6k when not really modded out. I bought a Tahoe last November on the low end of that range last November thinking I got a good price. But as the board well knows, I've had a lot of problems to fix on it. I added it all up this weekend and I'd have to sell...

    2003 GMC Yukon?

    Are you saying that you can't unlock it with the keyfob? Or you can't get the door to unlock at all?

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually been watching several YouTubes on replacing that o-ring and fuel pump so I'll probably do it as part of my list. I've got several things that I want to do around the engine like the intake gasket and, cover gasket and lifter adjustments. I bought this...

    Ron, you hit the nail on the head in the first post! You don't get any better than that. lol

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    One more thing to add. I was inspecting my old OPS and I noticed that there was oil inside of the area that connects to the wire. My guess is that it was cracked somewhere inside of it and that allowed oil to get in there causing a short circuit or something. The new OPS has my pressure back...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Wow, this has turned into a great thread. Loving all the stories but it sure makes the problems I've gone through seem like nothing. SO...I think I'm fixed. I can't believe it but I *think* it was the oil pressure sensor. I got home from work after leaving the battery unplugged all day and...

    Never too late! Thanks or the input. I'm glad that your engine was toast. That's crossed my mind a few times through this whole proces.

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Now I'm starting to think...could it be an ignition security problem because I have no radio installed at the moment? When I first installed my new stereo last week, it wouldn't start or it would roll over once and then die. It's doing that again exactly the same way. The Crutchfield tech...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Well, the first time I just cleaned the MAF several times. I had purchased a brand new one, but I was hoping that cleaning the old one would save some money. So it did start after I put the brand new one in. Thankfully, I haven't done anything with the wire harness. I was just mentioning...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Thanks for pointing that out to me. I can see where that could be confusing for someone. The starter turns the engine but it won't roll over into the engine running is what I should have said. So that's one thing that I left out before. I didn't think it was a fuel problem but I tested out...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    I agree with DNT1010... I'll never do this again. lol Progress report! I disconnected the new stereo when I got home tonight to eliminate that. I tried starting the Tahoe and like before it was really rough. Like it was before and would run for 10-15 seconds and then die. At one point I...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    I actually only disconnected the radio from the harness and connected back to that with the new stereo. I'm going to pull all that out tonight just to see if there is possibly something in it that's causing me issues.

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    Boy that Seafoam is awesome trouble. Thanks for the story Tim and welcome! You'll love it here. :) I couldn't wait until I got off work so I ran home at lunch after stopping at the parts store to grab some MAFS cleaner. I took it off and cleaned it out really well, let it dry and hit it...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    I can't think you all enough for taking the time to help me and taking the time to write up all this up. Great group of people here and I appreciate all of you. So this is my plan for tonight. 1. Check all the IGE fuses. I noticed this morning several of them but I didn't pull them. I did...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    The oil looked fairly dirty but I didn't see any chunks come out of it and I watched it completely drain. It is the first time that it's been changed since I purchased it in December and I'd been meaning to do it. As a matter of fact, that's why I used the Seafoam yesterday. I planned on just...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    I really appreciate all the advice. As suggested I got a ride home after work and drove back with all my oil change equipment. Drain all the oil in the place the filter. I let it run for about 5 minutes and oil pressure came up to about 20 psi. That's about half what it normally is. Drive...

    Low pressure all of a sudden

    I might have just done something dumb. I added Seafaom to my Tahoe's oil last night. I'd done it to my other Yukon and had no issue. It was about 1/2 a quart low and input a full can of Seafoam in which likely overfilled it. It drive fine to work but I noticed at lunch that the oil pressure...

    Nerf Bars

    I recently found a set of those in the junkyard and took the left one off. When I went around to the other side I found the forklift that they used to set the car up crushed most of the brackets on the right side. lol . My luck. Oh well, I'll wait for another one to come through hopefully in...

    Usb cigarette lighter replacement

    I never use my cigarette lighter for anything other than plugging in a phone charger. I'm thinking of taking those out and just replacing the unit with a direct USB charger. Had anyone here done that? Looking at something like this. YONHAN Quick Charge 3.0 Dual USB Charger Socket...

    Nerf Bars

    I'm looking to remove and replace the running boards on my '05 and replace them with some kind of nerf bar. I'm seeing lots of used one for sale in my area but they're for varying years for Chevy/GMC models. Is there a chart out there that shows what model years are compatible with each other?

    New guy's first question

    I had bought some used rims with 295/55/R20 tires (slightly under 33") on them with my car having a 2" torsion level added it still rubbed when turning. It would especially do it when I was turning up or down on a hill. I recently switched over to a 275/55/R20, which is effectively a 32" tire...
