This is what happened to my tahoe in May

2014 front seats going into my 96 2 dr tahoe

Figured my rebuild is on the other thread so I’ll start my interior thread here. Just bought 2014 Silverado seats for my 2 dr tahoe. I’ll be buying the www.obsoutpost.com brackets to use these. I also plan to get a GEN5 3rd row to use as my 2nd row. All these have been proven to be an upgrade...

Here’s a link to my interior install for those who didn’t know about it

Bummer about the wreck!

Looks like it's coming along great though, that front bumper is sick.

Huge fan of the seat swap, I thought about doing the same but those brackets are pricey!

I just noticed this thread...... 2 days ago, driving on a 3-lane street..... I was in the middle lane....driving the 50mph speed limit..... I saw ahead, traffic was slowing, due to a traffic light. I slowed down a bit..... Preparing to apply more brakes.... SUDDENLY, the truck ahead of me steered quickly, to the left lane. Ahead was stopped !! i braked FIRM but no skidding ( giving the vehicle behind me time to slow / I also hand-signaled !! ) Good thing my brakes are VERY GOOD....

No collisions..... no skidding ( from me or the car behind me)......

ATTENTION.... ALWAYS...... When you are DRIVING...... Everything else, causes an accident.

( I spend many years as a 'performance driving instructor'......
Get your children to a QUALIFIED driving instructor, or it can happen again, if they don't learn more, than what they still know ( or don't know about driving).

Accident evasion is important..... Prime example is the above story.....

Yup your rear is protected when you signal behind you, and as best as you can, give the drivers behind you, as much time as possible to also to NOT HIT YOU !!

Yeah it was a tough one to swallow, but now that they are in I feel much better about the swap. I’ll say it again though, you won’t be disappointed about how easy the seat swap is with these brackets.

Update, my exhaust was subpar to say the least.. I’ve been meaning to change it for a while now.. ordered new cat section.. and the flowmaster 17165 force II system..

I also had to hit the junk yard today, found 3 nice 4 dr OBS tahoes, I got.. a driver side battery tray, a transmission cooler, and some exhaust hanger brackets since mine were missing, as well as a small little air deflector that sits just below the nose panel. All for $40

Nice stuff !! But, I'd rather listen to my stereo and not the exhaust note, if this system is louder than stock. If there was an exhaust that was quiet on residential streets, but "opened up" only when on acceleration, I'd consider that ,for performance.
I don't know if there is such a design??

Yeah…. It’s called a cut out lol, actually this muffler is part of their 50 series… it’s not that loud at all

I live in a gated community.... My neighbor has a Dodge Ram.... They are my alarm clock at 6 am every day....

Exhaust arrived

Update: ok it’s taken a year… but actively working on it about 9months.. finished off the exhaust( was NOT a straight bolt on affair) got the lights on, got the grill on, finished the wiring for the new upgraded electric 4x4 actuator….. behold, she is ready,

I still need to take her in to get an alignment, register it, and have the AC charged.
Things still to come: fender flares, stereo upgrade, paint/body work, finish the electric fan wiring, finished the trans temp gauge, finish the door hinge pins, and lastly the 4.56 gears

Hell yeah! Lookin great! Looks super tough on that wheel and tire combo.

I had a Flowmaster system on a Corvette and it was pretty quiet but beautiful rumble at idle and awesome sound with just enough roar but no drone cruising at highway speeds. On throttle it sounded so beautiful! I had a high end stereo system put in that Corvette but I rarely listen to it because the engine sounded so good lol!

lol I swear… this truck… I had started it at least 3-4 times in the last week with no issues… let it idle about a minute each time to check for leaks… started it today and drove down the street for the first time… seemed to be running well.. about a mile down the road started to be a bit rough… came to a light and the idle was erratic.. stumbling, couldn’t get it to idle… then it died… starts up again but rough idle

Few thoughts come to mind; #1 gas in it has been sitting for 14 months.. the sloshing around might have sent debris or whatever into the fuel filter (I forgot to change the filter)..

Thought 2; might be MAF related once it went into closed loop, the MAF might have been compromised from sitting and occasionally sat in open air.. I did clean it with CRC MAF cleaner and let it dry about a week ago.. MAF might be bad
Thoughts?

Pulled code P0341 camshaft position sensor… anyone with input on this?

 

[th3 shifty]

Changed the cam position sensor in the distributor…. Cleared the code, started up just fine… let it idle for about 2-3 minutes, seems just fine… go to back out the drive and the stumble starts… gets rougher.., shut it down and restart and it’s still rough.. CEL sets, check it.. same code P0341…

Might get some more targeted responses if you post in the Engine & Drivetrain section.

 

[th3 shifty]

Will do

Update: all I/M went into ready mode, got the emissions passed, registered today. It’s been a long road, but she’s road worthy now.

Still a few things to fix, like door pins, paint, get the 4:56’s installed, and some body adjustments to a few panels

Thank you to all those who followed this thread and offered insight and knowledge
