    Low Oil Pressure / Oil Pressure Switch

    I was thinking more along the lines of the additive as the engine flush. That is mostly what I have seen mentioned here and Youtube videos. interesting that would occur with the transmission. This shop the transmission in a few months ago when trying to solve for my ECM problem.

    Low Oil Pressure / Oil Pressure Switch

    Thanks for the input. The sensor was replaced several months ago and rechecked when I got the first error code. I'm pretty sure they left the screen out. I have an appointment later this week. The overall pressure has dropped in the last few weeks, which is why I'm taking it in. I did not...

    Low Oil Pressure / Oil Pressure Switch

    I'm having the low oil pressure that throws the code. Cold pressure is around 20. It will go up to around 40 at highway speeds after it is warm, but seems to bounce around a lot. The oil pressure switch has been checked and I believe they just left the screen out that sits underneath. I...

    Engine Tick and AFM Disabler

    Still trying to figure this intermittent tick sound out. I did notice it seems to start right after I’m stopped at a light or something and the engine seems to all of a sudden start to idle rough. Does that make the cause any clearer?

    Engine Tick and AFM Disabler

    I can see bolts are missing on the top side of the manifolds, one on each side. I used a screwdriver to check the one I could reach and it appears the bolt is broken off in the hole. I have not check from underneath yet.

    Engine Tick and AFM Disabler

    Yes, that sounds the same, like a sewing machine almost. It’s just weird that it comes and goes. I’m going to look into the range device. That jumping in and out of V8 grinds on my nerves in stop and go traffic. Yesterday I dropped into third so it stayed in V8 mode until traffic was moving...

    Engine Tick and AFM Disabler

    Will do. Out of a 50 mile drive today it ticked for 1/4 mile. I stopped and popped the hood trying to pinpoint it. Got back in and went to pull back out on the road and it was gone. Might swing by the shop and just have them check those. I bought this vehicle a few months ago so I have...

    Just an update. New ECM appears to have done the trick. Shop charged me for the part and programming (at a reduced price). My radiator sprung a leak while they were trying to figure out what my original problem was so they replaced that free of charge. I felt like that was fair after 3 weeks...

    Engine Tick and AFM Disabler

    Two questions here. Driving home yesterday and the Tahoe had been running for about 30 minutes. Heard a tick under the hood at a stoplight. Tick increased with throttle. Drove another 7 miles or so to home and no tick. Let it sit for an hour or so and cranked it up, no tick. No tick this...

    Z55 Suspension Options

    The compressor and air boots on my 2007 Tahoe are shot. it is not ******** or anything right now, so no huge rush, but wanted to see what the best options are for either going back with the air suspension or converting over to non-air. I've seen some videos Vigor, Arnott, Suncor and OEM as...

    Shop ordered an ECM and it appears to have fixed the problem. They are going to keep it over the weekend and start it and drive it some more to make sure. Wondering if I take it to the local dealer for a once over on the wires/lines to make sure there isn’t something still lingering just for...

    I'm in NC, outside Charlotte. I called the shop this morning and they are replacing the ECM. They did try a second throttle body and the problem got worse. Hoping to get it back today or tomorrow depending on when the part comes in. If this doesn't work I don't think I have much choice but...

    The initially changed the throttle body. I picked it up and did not even get a 1/4 mile down the road and the problems started again. After that the shop thought it was slipping in second gear. There were shavings and clutch material in the pan and they had issues with it in reverse. I don't...

    This started a week or so after I had the driver's side motor mount changed. Anything along the firewall that might have gotten pitched or nicked when they jack the motor up to make room for the new mount that might be causing the problem? The mechanic said it is like the ECM is fluctuating...

    I called the shop and asked them to check it or if they already have. They surely have to be running out of things to check by now. Maybe the it needs a new ECM. Who knows.

    Is that a sensor if some sort?

    Checked in with the shop today. They put in a second transmission thinking they got a bad one, still same problem. Mechanic said when giving it throttle, the computer shows it as being 100%, but the actual throttle input is fluctuating up and down and usually no more than 10%. Computer...

    2007 Chevy Tahoe developed an intermittent engine/tranny problem. The vehicle cranks and idles fine, but does not seem to respond to the throttle, rpms will not climb and vehicle lurches, like the throttle response is really delayed and limited. Local shop changed the throttle body and it ran...
