    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    She lives!! Went out and added five more gallons and she fired right up. I didnt think the gas was that low but apparently the hill made up for it. Thank you everyone for your responses and time!

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    The truck is under a quarter tank in fuel and parked facing downhill on a pretty steep incline. Is the pickup for the pump in an area where that may affect it?

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    I tried the priming method but no change. I don't have a fuel pressure gauge handy unfortunately. I'll try to borrow a code reader tonight to see if there are any codes. The truck never had any starting issues prior to this

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    I was going to but I ordered round coil wires by accident so I just reused the old ones. They're AC Delco premiums. Had zero issues prior to changing the plugs and belt but again, it ran perfectly after the work, too

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    Maybe I damaged an ignition wire when I was pulled them off the old plugs

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    MAF is plugged in, intake boot is on properly, plugs are torqued to 13lb/ft, wires are on properly, injector harness is connected. I disconnected the battery and tried again and still same results. It's odd the Tahoe ran great right after I finished all the work and now has decided it doesn't...

    Changed plugs and alternator belt. Ran great and now won't start

    It's a 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71. Fantastic dealership maintenance history. I changed the plugs and alternator belt along with tensioner and idler last night. Started her up afterwards and ran great. Parked it outside overnight and now I get a crank but no start. It will act like it will start for...

    Is this the heater to tank hose?

    I ordered the Dorman one. We'll see how it fares!

    Thanks! That looks more like it. I ordered it and should be here Saturday

    Is this the heater to tank hose?

    One last issue. The Dorman quick disconnect attachment I bought for the heater hose to core connection isn't correct. Doesn't look like my Tahoe actually utilized the quick disconnects (that's what I get for not checking). Do you know the part number for the white plastic connector? I've...

    Is this the heater to tank hose?

    Perfect! The ACDelco one you listed is what I thought it was. Ordered and on its way. Thanks!

    Is this the heater to tank hose?

    I don't think either of those are correct. The hose I'm looking for has a unique y-connection with one of the heater hoses where it meets the water pump. You can see it in the second pic I posted. The part number I listed looks exactly like what I need, I just wanted to be sure

    Is this the heater to tank hose?

    Noticed some coolant loss in my reservoir. No other symptoms of cracked head, etc. Took a look around and looks like one of my heater hoses is deteriorating and definite leakage around the connection. The spring clamp was so frail that it broke in half when I poked it lightly. Is the hose in...

    Blend Door Question

    Hi all, Just picked my Z71 up today! Love it. Literally the only issue I've found so far is a clicking noise that occurs maybe 20% of the time when the vehicle is first started. It sounds like it is near the steering column under the dash. It clicks for around 1-2 mins and then is silent. It...

    Thanks everyone! I'll be able to give it a thorough detail and inspection on Sunday when I'm off from work. Can't wait to take the first family trip in it

    Joining the Club and Picking Up an '04 Z71

    There are multiple places online that sell the seat bottom and backs separately so you can replace as they wear out. You can even buy the foam as well if yours has worn down. Just search "Tahoe seat bottom" or similar. I'm decently mechanically inclined when it comes to cars so I'm looking...

    Joining the Club and Picking Up an '04 Z71

    Can't wait to pick up this beauty! Stock '04 Z71 (aside from 2015 wheels). 170k miles, 47 service records on its Carfax, 95% of which were at a dealership. Also has a brand spanking new (new, not rebuilt) transmission with paperwork. I know about the Castec head issue but I'm not very concerned...

    Prices are high but what are your thoughts on this '09 LTZ?

    It is the 5.3. Here is a photo of the compression results... Does this look healthy for the 5.3? It was done very recently. http://imgur.com/a/6HMqql7

    Prices are high but what are your thoughts on this '09 LTZ?

    The seller has owned it since 160k and for the past five years. The repairs have been done over that time period (the plugs/wires and tires were very recent). Seller says he had the engine compression tested when the plugs were replaced and the shop told him the compression was better than...

    Prices are high but what are your thoughts on this '09 LTZ?

    Thanks for the advice guys. The seller is the second owner. I'll see what other maintenance docs he has and go from there.

    Prices are high but what are your thoughts on this '09 LTZ?

    I've been looking mostly for a second gen Tahoe but stumbled upon a 2009 LTZ. It has 202k miles, which makes me a bit wary. Interior looks very, very clean for its age and mileage. Second row captain's chairs. Exterior is also very clean - no dents, scrapes, etc. Some recent maintenance: -Like...

    2004 Yukon Denali XL - yay or nay?

    I'm in the PNW. I'd need it to be reliable enough to do DD duties of 40 miles round trip four times per week.

    2004 Yukon Denali XL - yay or nay?

    There's a single owner '04 Yukon Denali XL for sale near me. It's got a slight lift, not sure of the brand yet. Looks to be in very good condition and has been in a single family its whole life. The only hang up is it has 172k miles. Seller is asking $4900. How reliable are these trucks? I'm...
