Thin gray line tahoe build

[thingraylinetah]

Well it's parked for now until the parts I need arrive.

I just wanted to give an update. I replaced the mass air flow sensor with one off a parts yukon I have and reset the code and the check engine light is off and the drivability is back. Also my cluster was going dim at night when the lights were on. I changed out the dimmer switch with one from the parts yukon and it no longer goes dim.

 

[thingraylinetah]

I'm guessing the knock sensor codes were related to the crapped out mass air flow sensor.

 

[thingraylinetah]

I painted the tahoe frame in a rustoleum 2in1 paint primer combo in matte black. I put on 3 coats of it and once it dried I put on 3 coats of rustoleum high heat ceramic paint.

Update,

The mass airflow senor went out and threw a code as did the knock sensors. I figured it might be the maf causing the knock sensor issues. I reset the code and it drove fine and got decent gas mileage for a week. Then the check engine light came back on and the code was for the knock sensors. The sensors and the plug will be delivered today and the intake gasket was delivered yesterday.

I'll update once that is fixed.

Glad to see you're getting it fixed. Sorry I wasn't any help

 

[thingraylinetah]

That's okay. I've got a leak from the valve cover. I'm trying to find one of the updated valve covers for when I put the new valve cover gaskets on.

Just snug those valve cover bolts down. I can't remember the exact spec but it's inch pounds. Those bolts are are easy to break

Well I'm giving an update. Thursday morning my step son who is a mechanic will drive my tahoe to the shop where he works. He will be replacing the knock sensors, the connector, the valley pan gasket, the grommets under the knock sensors and is going to change the valve cover gaskets. I'll post more updates once these repairs are completed. As to whether or not it was fixed or not.

Following. I think the front bumper trim would look good in matching Raptor liner.

I can't wait for my step son to get his 2500hd front and rear axles so I can get the 373 rear and 373 front diff from him.

He's going to drop the yukon denali 6.0 in it once he does the 8 lug conversion. He will have the only or 1 of the only suburban with 8 lug conversion with a 6.0 in it in this area.

Actually I am going to get a grill from lmc truck that is black in the center and gray on the metal outer portion. Then I am going to have the front and rear bumper powder coated black and a gray z71 valance with round fogs to finish off the front.

 

[thingraylinetah]

Very cool

Oh the step son also has a complete front and rear rough country 6" lift kit on the 03 suburban lt

 

[thingraylinetah]

Well the step son has started on it since 8am central time.

 

[thingraylinetah]

Well my step son just got home from work. He said he replaced the knock sensors, harness, the o rings underneath the knock sensors the valley cover gasket and the intake gasket. He reset the code and it has no check engine light after driving 30 miles so we will see what happens.

He said he did not change the valve cover gaskets as they did not appear to be leaking. He thinks the oil consumption was from the valley cover leaking.

Awesome news! How much oil are you losing?

 

[thingraylinetah]

It was about a half a quart per week. I don't know the exact mileage.

Awesome news! How much oil are you lo
