Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Rocket Man]

Driving today I got the dreaded "reduced engine power" P1516, a few times and it sux! I pulled over and shut if off, both times for less then a minute, and it was fine, but wth? Later on, as it was idling, I wiggled the hell out of the plugs and wiring coming off the throttle body, I went about a foot or so in and I couldn't get the reduced power to display. I've read a million times on here how that's usually the common issue. Anyone have any other ideas? It doesn't happen often but it's still annoying, and I don't want it to become a dangerous issue for us.

I've read it could be a broken wire at the TB specifically the yellow one that breaks internally and the best way to check is to try to pull on each wire separately while it's running.

Replaced both front hubs which included new wheel speed sensors

Not bad, at least you got it figured out.

Ahhhh, good stuff Red! My next step. Yellow wire especially. Thx again.

I got my 2" drop spindles today.
I really don't want to remove my 2" drop keys if I don't have to. Think it would be possible to crank the keys all the way up and use these spindles? I really don't want to reinstall the stock keys. As of now, the edge of my front fender to ground is 32 1/2 inches.

Install the spindles then crank the keys to fine-tune it where you want it. I doubt you'll be able to crank out the full 2", but maybe you'll be fine with a 3" drop?

 

[Rocket Man]

We should all be fine with a 3" drop. 3" drops for everyone I say.

Or 3" lift for us 4x4s

Hey Tony what cam did you end up with? Specs? I'm looking at doing a cam in mine and thinking about the Vinci Trucker.

Here's the sheet with the cam specs. I don't know Jack about cam specs. Has a really lopey idle and decent bottom end. Hauls ass!!

That's really close to the one I'm looking at. It's 216/224 duration, .551 lift and 115 LSA. I think I'm gonna get it.
