    Engine dies - but why?

    Following! I hope you all are doing well. Car is running like a dream since (with all your help) I replaced the 706 heads with 799's. Thanks again!

    Advice please

    LOL, I once drilled a hole into the wall ( don't ask why ) in the garage. I found the stud with a stud finder and I missed with the drill to the right by millimeters. But I didn't miss the copper water pipe that was right there apparently. Drilled a hole in it. Turn the main water off and...

    Rear brakes still surging

    I assume this only happens as you are coming to a stop and you can feel the undulating? If it were your front brakes you would feel it in the steering wheels as well. But the back brakes tend to give you that undulating or surging feel. I had this as well when braking with only about 10k miles...

    HELP!!!

    This one sounds like the ground behind the engine passenger side. it is likely broken. Tiny little wire bolted to the engine block. Ridiculous design. That little wire will cause all kinds of havoc if not grounded properly. Hard to reach the bolt but can be done with a little finagling. Also...

    When is enough to let go?

    Well the minimum cost of a RS1 is $78,000 plus about ( roughly ) 5% for tax license and registration in Colorado. So if you buy one with no frills, it is about $84,000 minus a $7500 refund on your taxes. So out the door is about $76,000. $6,000 more if you want the 321 miles battery, $82,000...

    When is enough to let go?

    I don't do the the heavy duty stuff anymore. I pay someone to handle it. For instance I had a major real seal and oil leak at the very same time. It was leaking bad. It cost me $2500.00 and it was worth it. You should do the same and spend a few thousand dollars and few more if needed to...

    Yukon xl misfire

    Did you check those fuel trims during the "bucking and popping sessions"? It sounds like it is intermittent so I would do that first. Are you losing any coolant? Also spraying water or carb cleaner doesn't always find the leak unless it is a large enough leak that you can tell immediately...

    2003 Reduced Engine Power in Tahoe; Only code 1516 now

    Hopefully you replaced all sensors with OEM. ACDelco for the throttle body for sure. When you replaced the pigtail and if that was the problem, it is imperative that you solder the connections. Super important! Also as you do this, be careful with the 8 wires at the TPS, you could actually...

    Needle with grease? Does this work?

    2003 Yukon Reduced Engine Power

    Super important that when you replaced the wiring harness, you solder the connections - this is a must. Again this is a must. Do not use crimp connectors or solder connectors of any kind. This is must do. The two grounds behind your engine can be the issues as well. There is a thin ground...

    Ok so i have a huge dilemma......i need opinions from everyone!

    Just do the right thing according to the laws of the land. In the long stretch it is the right thing to do for your own well being.

    So long everyone.

    This is great forum. People are mostly good to awesome. Let's keep it kind and with a thought of how I can be a blessing to others. I replaced my 706 heads with a huge input from folks here. some really good detail that opened my eyes before I made the mistakes. Mission accomplished on a...

    So long everyone.

    Apologies, my insurance would only go up $600.00 a year for a 2018 tahoe LT. So this is only $50.00 a month.

    So long everyone.

    I hear you and I want you to talk me into a newer vehicle as I road in my friends new ford truck and it was so quiet, powerful, and smooth, I couldn't believe it! But when I run numbers it just doesn't makes sense for me at my stage of life. The registration fee is over 4 times for your 18...

    So long everyone.

    California. Just realized I wrote triple every year. I meant it would be 3 times what I am paying now. Trying to stay retired.

    Reduced Engine Power notes

    Alright so I have been battling this issue with my cars ( 2003 Tahoe LT and Z71) for years now. I am writing this up to hopefully help someone else who is having similar issues with p1515 p1516 p0120 p2135 p0220 and all of the rest of the codes attributed to the fly-by-wire throttle system on...

    So long everyone.

    Hmmm, man I just bullet proofed my vehicles. But for $16k, maybe I would let them go. The problem you have is that insurance will go up by 100%. You have to pay taxes here about $1600.00. Then every year the registration is 3 times what it was with your old 2003. Not sure I want to spend...

    Reduced Engine Power write-up

    I agree with you as this has been such a huge issue which I finally figured the problem. The wires leading to the TPS are ridiculously small and vulnerable. Considering how little voltage that runs through these wires and how important they are to the Chevy ECU, you would have thought after...

    Tail lights don’t work but brake lights do

    Usually it is a corrosion or grounding issue. The light/lamp sockets can get corroded inside. You mentioned that it sometimes works. Check and make certain that it is clean in the sockets. Also, it would be good to use a very small file and give the connection points in the socket a quick...

    New shocks

    So the reality was for my Z71 package the correct shocks were 15770188 540-67 and 15770189 540-68 (the red and black ones). This is what came on the vehicle. I did purchase the ones you mentioned above and definitely they take the sharp edge off but I am not sure if they are stable enough for...

    Every other day something folks! Water pouring out of the HVAC vents over passenger seat driver side

    This is great but my front two are not clogged. But this gives me and idea to look at the back two doors as well to see where the weep holes in the back are. I will look around. It looks like the headliner may have to come off for the back two. But maybe not. We will see.
