    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    I do need to call Spectre at some point and figure out a replacement for the anti-vibration bolt this week. Looks like somebody (for the first time, I’m not the one who broke something) probably leaned on it and snapped the thing cleanly in two. Might be worth looking around to make sure there’s...

    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    Update: cleaned the MAF, filled the fuel tank, then went on a 30 mile drive with majority interstate. LT fuel trims started trending upwards towards -10, then dropped again and stayed at -19.5 the majority of the way, ST spent early parts of the drive highly positive, then went majority...

    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    It’s a 2006, but it is a bit of a Frankenstein vehicle as far as the engine is concerned. It has a 2007 block, but I believe only the bottom end since it still has the 706 heads instead of the 799’s. The swap happened over 8 years ago, however

    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    Could it being a flex fuel vehicle affect that as well? Just realized that I forgot to include that in the original post. Would the alcohol content number being wrong cause it to think it’s too rich?

    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    I thought that as well, but I hadn’t noticed it on previous towing experiences with the same intake, albeit not under the same level of load. I can’t exactly switch to the stock air box either since I sold it when I was moving here from halfway across the country Would it really take a few...

    P0175 & P0172, Hard Cold Start, Recent Emissions System Work

    A little while ago, my vehicle started throwing a few emissions codes, starting with P0455, then P0449. I replaced the Purge Valve and Vent Valve solenoids, and got rid of that issue entirely. However, right after I got the new vent valve solenoid on the vehicle and verified that code was...

    Please Tell Me My Test Drive Wasn't The Worst Ever

    Let me preface this by saying I already have a '99 Tahoe 2WD that I love to death. I'm actually in the middle of fixing it back up after an engine and transmission incident some time back that left both fried (clutch pack failed on the highway combined with cruise control running means hello...

    Wiring Issues, and Equipment Question

    still nothing, what's the best way to test that diode? And I assume it's the same part as a '98 1500, so what would it cost me to get one out at a Pick-n-Pull if I so need one?

    Wiring Issues, and Equipment Question

    VIN: 1GNEC13R3XJ377530 Checked the fuses, fuse itself looks okay, swapped in a spare just to be safe, gonna test it later because of time. If they still don't work, I'll check the diode.

    Wiring Issues, and Equipment Question

    This is a two-pronged thread, both involving exterior lighting. No, they don't tie into each other. 1. When we bought the Tahoe, the RR reverse light was out. The shop we took it to for state inspection said the wiring was bad, and they quoted $700 to fix it (outrageous, right?). Any way I...

    Opinions on black rims or chrome?

    I'd go with chrome. I see way too many kids at my school spray-painting or plasti-dipping their rims black. I'm personally tired of seeing them, most of the time it doesn't even look good. Just don't do what one guy did and plasti-dip the rims and fuel door neon green.

    The 3 Generation Collection

    Posted an intro a couple days ago, now got some pics of our Tahoes today during Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, due to the time and having a tiny garage, I wasn't able to get good pics of my '99, but I did get a couple of our '06 Z71 and the '12 LT. I'll try to get some pics of the '99 soon...

    All 3 Generations Covered

    Been here looking for a while, just now getting around to actually posting on here. I'm a high school senior in SW MO who is hoping to be in Austin for college next year, and was blessed with a first car being a 99 LS 4 door 2WD. She's taken everything I've thrown at her and then some, and I...
