I got my Tahoe back last night and dropped it at the shop to get some maintenance done. I am beyond pleased with the work that was done. The shop did an excellent job with panel fitment and going above and beyond with their customer service. I did get a quote to just go ahead and repair the rest of the body (dents, scratches, and a repaint) I'm going to save for that over the winter and get the rest of it redone next year. After the first week or so goes by I'll wash it and detail the interior (very dusty from being in a shop for 3 weeks).

Thanks for all the suggestions and support over the time I've been on this forum. I'll keep everyone in the loop as my rebuild continues!
Very nice work. Not very often you hear praise about a body shop nowadays.

I'm very happy with their work. They called me half way into the job and said they found more rust than anticipated so they took care of it as well. I plan to pick up paint ready bumpers and a cowl hood then get the savings together to get the entire body painted and all repairs done. I plan on keeping this thing for as long as I can.

Sounds like a good plan.

More time to play with the Tech 2...
ABS light came on and stayed on yesterday.

Current code:

20220521_170413.jpg


Then I got into recent history:
20220521_170458.jpg


And this morning, I did live data view. I was doing snapshot record. I think it recorded, but I can't look at it again until after work.

Live data showed me RF speed sensor was showing 3 MPH the whole time.
Thanks to Tech 2, I am pretty sure it is just the RF sensor needed to be replaced.

Eh... I'll get to it in the next week or so.

I'm having a similar issue, but both the brake and abs lights are on. I gotta learn how to get into the live data for it.

I'm running the supreme suspensions 3" lift (keys and blocks). The wheels are Fuel Rebels 20x10 and the tires are 275/60R20 Bridgestone Revo 3, I plan to change to a 305/55 when the tires wear out so it gives it a more beefy look. I'll get some more shots of it once the paint is cured and I can wash it. I'm probably being a bit "extra" but I want to be careful with it lol. I've got a couple buddies locally that can get some good shots of it so it'll be artistic (I'm not artsy one bit)

Maybe you have a bad Park/Neutral switch?

Should be able to start while moving in Neutral.

From page 2-22 of my 04 owner's manual...
"Starting Your Engine

Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position – that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only
."
Thank you. For looking that up for me.

we really need a pic of the ass dragging, unless you got some air bags back there. thats a bit more then shes rated for easy.

ive got them coil air bags. pulled a trailer out of the garage for a friend one day. the work trucks were more trouble to un hook and use, so im like we'll just use the hoe, as we're dropping the trailer on the ass just hit the ground pretty much. so i jacked it back up. aired up the bags to 35 psi, and she dropped maybe two inches. i was indeed impressed. first time i had actually used them.

Worth it, except for the charge for being trans. ;)

Seriously, it's great to get rid of that stuff!
I probably could have done it cheaper if I hauled the rocks to a recycler but I just wanted it all gone. I need to make room under my covered patio for house contents when I get the new carpet installed starting in a couple weeks. I’m splitting that up into 3 days, each a week apart mostly because that’s how it works into the installers schedule but also that helps me as far as clearing the areas out. Furniture will have to be removed from each area of the house as he needs. First is the great room and the stairs up to the middle landing,then the next week is the living room and 2 downstairs bedrooms, then finally the master bedroom and walk-in closet. I have 4 couches, 3 are recliners so they’re heavy and there’s lots of stuff that I’ll move onto the patio to make room for the big stuff to be moved into adjoining rooms. I hope the king size mattress I have upstairs fits into the master bathroom up there because it’s no fun moving it up the stairs.

Auto level FTW. I have hauled more weight- wise when I did 3 loads of old bricks and one was pushing a ton. These pics are from today. It sat down a bit until I started the engine and it pumped it up.

People will come pick up free rocks. Rocks are expensive if you are trying to buy them.
I went and picked up free broken pieces of concrete once, and made a decent looking retaining wall.
You’re right. I was originally thinking about using them myself but then I decided I had seen them on my fireplace mantel for 15 years and didn’t like them when they were inside the house and I really didn’t want to see then anywhere outside so I decided I wanted them gone. They had mortar on one side too but I’m sure that could have been chipped off.

Decided to drive it today and run a few errands. It's also time for the biennial emissions test, so after work I took it through the test station. Sometimes they just connect and read from the OBD port, but this time they put it on the treadmill and ran it a bit; that way we get actual measurements. I'm running a high percentage of E85, and the test results were great:
