    [SOLVED] Recommend Fuel Pressure Tester?

    Even though it says on the box that it is not for GM throttle body systems? I have that same kit for use on a different car and couldn’t get anything to thread onto the valve on the Tahoe fuel rail. UPDATE: I was able to remove a fitting on the gauge itself and you are absolutely correct, it...

    [SOLVED] Recommend Fuel Pressure Tester?

    I want to check the fuel pressure at the valve on the rail (1996 5.7L) and the test kit I have specifically states that it does not work on GM Vortec Throttlebody. I checked anyway and no, I do not have a hose or fitting that will screw on to the valve on the rail. It looks like a bit bigger...

    Locked Up - Won't Move

    The right rear wheel was locked, but not significantly. I worked the drum off and there was nothing out of the ordinary, cleaned the drum with BrakeClean, blew out all the rust dust and slid it back on. I put a new felpro gasket on the diff, filled it with oil, reattached the driveshaft and...

    Locked Up - Won't Move

    Thanks for the quick responses! I've got it up on jack stands so will pop off the rear driveshaft U-joint and see if it is a brake issue, fingers crossed. If it's okay I'll check the front as well. It might be a bit before I get back but will report when I know. Update: Removed the rear...

    Locked Up - Won't Move

    I have a 97 Tahoe 4x4 with 180K miles on it that I have only had for about 6 months. Today, I put it in gear and started down the driveway and it locked up, like I had thrown it in park while moving. It will go into Drive and Reverse, I can feel it engage, but will not move. I can give it...

    This is Odd - P1406

    I have been throwing a P1406 code on my 1996 Tahoe 5.7L (and this is after the EGR valve was replaced) and in looking around, I found this "line to nowhere". Neither can I find any tube that looks like it should be connected to this. Can someone tell me what this is and if this should be open...

    2017 Tahoe LT & P0442

    I've got a bit over 108k miles on my 2017 Tahoe and am throwing my first code, ever. I did some searching and it could be the evaporator purge valve which is an easy fix but rather than throw parts at it, I see that the fuel neck does not look as though it is closing completely. Could this be...

    Interior Rear Door Panel Needed

    I have a 97 2-door Tahoe and am looking to find one of these metal covers as my other rear door is missing it. Any suggestions? Apologies for the size of the picture....

    Mechanic in Blacksburg VA Area?

    From what my son says, it sounds like the area under the passenger set, or where the passenger side cat is. I've asked him to do the screwdriver stethoscope test. Thanks for the replies.

    Mechanic in Blacksburg VA Area?

    My son has my 1996 Tahoe at Virginia Tech and it has begun making an intermittent racket. He just drove down over the weekend and this racket started after he got there. I'm 7 hours away and looking to find someone in the area that could take a look and potentially diagnose. This racket...

    Radio disconnected?

    @YukonGTmaster I have a similar issue, the orange wire is dead which it should be 12v all the time. Does that orange wire go directly to the fuse panel?
