Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

I was out there too bro! Funny thing is the sun is finally set behind the clouds and now it feels hotter?

It's still 91 outside. I'm not built for this heat. Can't wait til winter!!

Oh for 101°f here!!!
Has been the coldest july on record here since 1977!!
You wont know yourself when you get the new mufler welded uo!
Will sound way better!

It already sounds so much quieter, even with those clamps that are too big lol.

Finally cut the muffler off the Tahoe. It was hot af--101 today. So of course I decided to work on the van too. The 3" v clamps were too big, should've got the 2.75" clamps. So gonna have the gf go tomorrow to get it welded up.
The seam split on the MBRP too.View attachment 376304View attachment 376303View attachment 376302View attachment 376301

New one is on.

Partially done. Got to get it welded, the clamps are too big unfortunately.

Finally got the muffler welded. One place wanted $175 just to weld it--it was already mounted. Found a place to do it for $75.
Once I got home from work I took it for a ride, but it feels like it has a miss or something. Took a pic of fuel trims, as usual I don't know how to decipher the info.
Anyone have any insight/idea what's going on here? Running and sounds not so great. I took the pics in park while giving it some gas. Tia.

-11.7 and -3.9 on the other side. way off from each other. the -3.9 is normal. the other bank is rich for some reason. try looking at it when cruising normal. see if they come closer together.

The short term trims are fine and those are your instant trims; anything within +/- 5 is great. Drive it a bit to see if they affect the long term trims -- those should come down if your STFTs are staying fairly solid as they sit now.

Might want to see if you can look at individual cylinder misfires, at idle and at 1,500 or 2k rpm, see if one cylinder is misbehaving.

I won't be able to look at it until this weekend. What could cause those fuel trims to be so off? Air/gasket leak of some kind? Bank 1 is the driver's side? Thanks for the info guys.
