    Tuner to fix shifting in 2000 Tahoe (auto transmission)

    Hey @Marky Dissod — this is the original post I asked about getting a tune. I'd love your insights! As an update — I replaced the Fuel Injectors AGAIN (this time with another, Amazon off-brand), and it seems to have resolved the problem! Also, my spark plugs don't seem to be getting fouled...

    Which Gear for SC "Foothills"?

    Thank you, again to @Marky Dissod , @Fless , & @Doubeleive ! You took a weight off me! About "tuning" — I've looked into it several times, and I'm interested, but I'm finding the cost way outweigh the (understood) benefit. (non-Mac PC, +Software, +Credits, etc.). FYI — the "lurching" only...

    Which Gear for SC "Foothills"?

    Thank you all for replying! Marky — Apologies. TBH, I didn't understand most of what you are saying. :/ Also, I'm not as concerned about gas mileage. I'm mostly concerned about burning out my transmission (again)! Fless — Attached is the info from the glovebox. But, I can't make heads or...

    Which Gear for SC "Foothills"?

    Howdy! I've just moved from very flat, Central Florida — to hilly, Greenville area, South Carolina. I had the automatic transmission rebuilt (twice) and upgraded the transmission radiator/cooler. :) I remember my Florida, transmission mechanic saying something about keeping the Tahoe in 3rd...

    Spark Plugs keep fouling & P0172 code

    I finally had a chance to run diagnostics on my Tahoe with my Blue Driver. I took a short, 20 minute trip with a mix of stop-and-go and 50m/hr highway. The short and long trim was mostly in the -10% to +10% range - with the exception of a couple of +/-100% blips. I'd guess these would happen...

    I totally get not trusting non-OEM injectors! I just couldn't bring myself to pay $800-$1K to replace them. No, the rich condition happened sometime after the new injectors.

    Spark Plugs keep fouling & P0172 code

    That is a great question. And, honestly I have no idea. Here is the link to the Amazon Injectors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QKR1BC7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=tahoeyukonforum-20 However, I wouldn't recommend them. I had to purchase two sets, as the first set...

    No oil consumption at all. (yeah!) Also, the oil looks completely normal for the milage - a nice golden brown.

    The spark plugs & wires were AC Delco. The injectors and coils were aftermarket. As the truck is 24 years old, I didn't want to spend the X10 price for those. However, this could be causing the problem. The diagnostics the master mechanic ran didn't show any issues though. Great question! Thanks.

    Spark Plugs keep fouling & P0172 code

    Thank you, Mudsport! Great questions! No codes - except for the P0172 (and rarely the P0172). No "missing" codes, which I find odd. But, the master mechanic I took it to said that the "missing" isn't enough for it to trigger the code. I didn't gap the plugs - they were pre-gapped. However, I...

    Only some basic condensation on cold morning startups. Never while driving.
