Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

Tbh I am quite overwhelmed at the depth of knowledge and commitment you guys have put into your vehicles. Home town stuff huh.

Thanks Tony
Reading what you've gone through with your Tahoe so far as I've read is impressive.

You guys rack up the miles fast as I'm working out your backyard is a size!

Looking forward to adding stuff to my thread as it moves forward.

Cheers T.B

Looking forward to seeing you add to your build thread. My Hoe starting out as something simple--in my mind--and morphed out of control. I do have to say it wouldn't be where it is right now without my fellow tyf brothers who have helped me relentlessly lol, and my loving fiancé Tracy.
I really hope I'll be able to enjoy it a little without friggin' breaking down for awhile!!

Not sure if you've seen these vids.

This is maybe the 2nd time, although very sporadically--that I've gotten a P0123 and a P2135. This is over a course of a few months. I clear the codes and it's fine. Runs fine. So idk, not sure if something is on its way out or what, although I wouldn't be shocked.

my 03 used to do that, I am pretty sure it was the throttle body, wasn't often enough to bother replacing it.

Hmmm....I replaced the tb on the original motor, I think back in 17. I bet he gave me an old one.

LMAO!!!!! Tear it up!! LOL.

when I had a Granatelli maf installed the thing would throw all kinds of codes, throttle body codes, 02 codes, lean codes, misfire codes, put the stock maf back on and codes went away, just once in a blue moon the throttle body would goof up

That was with the 22's.

I forgot which brand the guy put on, but it worked great.

I had issues with a new MAF that I bought from Oreilly, house brand. I replaced it with a Delphi and all was well.

sounds like a bad throttle pedal position sensor. if not the one in the gas pedal. the mechanic (i use the term loosely) just might have swapped your old tb to the new engine if this has happened in the past. iirc you need the same part #'s for the two of them to work right.

So far the code has been random--let's hope it stays that way. How's your Hoe running with the new maf?

 

[Scottydoggs]

i like you, i have no where to go. so its just been parked. but the new maf stopped setting the code right after it was cleared like the beat one did. so it all seems good.

still waiting on the vent solenoid for the evap code. but that one takes days if not a week of daily driving to come back on.

That evap code is a ***** when it does that. Mine was like that, every time I’d change a part it seemed like it was fixed but nope, it was just taking its time to set the code again. Finally got it fixed.

 

[Doubeleive]

I think it takes 3 cold/hot cycles for the evap to pass

this is its one chance to be fixed, if the damn thing dont fix it, ill delete every evap code and call it a day.

GTK. I wish mine was an 03. The 99-02’s have a completely different wiring harness and there’s no way I could see no way to add the power fold without adding my own wiring and switch. It wasn’t worth it to me.

I've a LT Hoe made in 2000 as a 2001 model. It has heated mirrors but not power fold. I've done research a while back and never came across power fold models and it made be think at least for the Hoe I think it hasn't been a option until the facelift in 2002/2003.

 

[Doubeleive]

I had my 00 for about 12-13 years I went to the junkyard a lot always looking for nicer parts or whatever I don't recall ever seeing power fold mirrors for it, could have been a option on the escalades or something but there switches and panels were always different, if it was a option it had to be pretty rare or a upfitter install.

2nd time in about 2 weeks that I've gotten these--

And got this one!

I haven't seen this one in awhile. I think since I cleaned the grounds on the ds underneath. I cleared them all and it drove fine. Just really annoying. I read on another thread how the P0220/2135 components usually don't go bad, that it's due to GM using the wrong gauge wiring for those components, which they upgraded in 04.

I have had to replace the accelerator position sensor on a couple GM cars to get this issue to go away. They were on an '08 Impala and a '12 Malibu. Both had intermittent issues like you're having.

It's just annoying as hell.
