    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    I went and changed out the fluid 3 times last week. Borrowed a manual transfer pump from a friend of mine. Pumped out the fluid thru the dipstick tube. Each time I did it the fluid got cleaner. It’s how the color it’s supposed to be. Going to drive it a week and keep checking the...

    Lowering the front of an SSV

    Ok a few more ?’s About this…. Does the ride quality suffer? Is it going to be harsher in the bumps? I have these state route roads and back roads that I’m on a lot going place. They are the smoothest roads on the planet…. Not

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    So there are no codes popping up. I’ve been told if there is no codes then to assume all is good. I 1st thought it could throttle body or the accelerator. While at highway speeds it seems that I get a “dead zone” in the pedal. Throttle response at the onset of the pedal, 1/4-3/4 way down...

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    I have done all the basic maintenance items you mentioned here within the last 20,000 miles. The VVT, can you elaborate on it a bit more. I personally hate the AFM setup, drives me nuts at surface street speeds, however that’s when it’s supposed to be efficient. I’ve been using Exxon/Mobil...

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    I am not sold that my transmission is in need of replacement. I’ve just hit 124,000 on this truck. The trans. Temps have not gotten above 190 and that was in dead standstill traffic in 90 degree heat. I’m getting a sluggish throttle response. NO codes, thought throttle body or throttle...

    Shudder!?

    Can you go into a bit more detail on the shudder. I’ve been dealing with the shudder at all speeds, yes it is NOT the wheels n tires. I have been told it’s the ^%#}€. AFM kicking in and out. I recently dropped my trans pan, to change the fluid and filter. The fluid was pretty dark with...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Dropped my transmission pan to find the fluid as dark as used motor oil. Better yet black sludge at the bottom of the pan and lots n lots n lots of fine shit stick to the magnet. ohh n I would like to smack the crap out of the engineer for the pan or exhaust. 1/8 of an inch is that is needed...

    Lowering the front of an SSV

    I have a 2.5 lowering set up for the back of the SSV, at first I loved it, but then needed to tow stuff so put it back to stock. The front always sat higher, what can I get to level out the truck in the front. The truck has the stock front suspension on it. I’m not towing much anymore...

    Slow throttle response

    You mentioned resetting the idle, how does one do that? Any idea what would cause it to go out of normal range? All I have been able to do with the truck lately is drive it to and from work. A few trips 2 -3 hour trips for stuff that we needed to get done. Its been a bit frustrating have...

    Slow throttle response

    No unfortunately, however in the past month I’ve replaced three out of the four o2 sensors. Not getting the known symptoms of a cat or both of them plugging up. That was my thought at first. Im wondering if it’s the TPS or something like that.

    Slow throttle response

    Ok 1st thing the truck is doing this with or without the ac on. Driving lately to and from work etc the throttle seems to be lacking in response. I’ve noticed that I’m putting my foot further into the throttle to get it to go or to even downshift. Any suggestions.

    Dreaded rear windows

    The passenger window switch crapped put, managed to jump the wires and get the window up. The sweeps look fine, will pull the panels off to see what’s loose in the coming days.

    Dreaded rear windows

    If I could quote the 15 min of George Carlin here I would. Finally home after a crap show of a trip. What else can go wrong... I’ll tell ya. The damn rear door windows! They both have been rattling when open since I got the truck. Now one of em ain’t going up. I know what’s the case...

    Forgive my stupidity

    Getting back to the o2 sensors. Lucked out with the sensor coming out easily with a 7/8th inch wrench. This truck came from middle of this great country and has no rust on it. However.... I’m still getting the code but now for the opposite side sensor 1. Thankfully it’s pissing rain, but...

    Forgive my stupidity

    I’ve got some big mitts myself I managed to change out the # 8 plug with ease. Leaned over the front of the truck and it was pretty easy to get at. I would imagine from the side of the truck it would be harder.

    Forgive my stupidity

    Thank you both, appreciate it, will check the wiring to all. Sensor 2 bank 2 passenger post cat went about 2 months ago. Was wondering if it’s just time to replace them, 124,000 miles on this beast.

    Forgive my stupidity

    Which side of the motor is #1 cyl located on our trucks? I’m halfway to Youngstown Ohio on 80 and this truck decides to throw an OBD 2 sensor issue 015D. It’s running like crap and I’m near an exit with a Napa and or an Advamced auto.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I have one suction cupped to the back winda or the front depending on the most sun where we are at. It’s when we go camping or I’m working on crap and need the battery off the truck to power crap like the VIAIR portable air compressor for the tires or to charge up a battery for one of my...

    Front wheel bearings

    Yup that’s what I’m seeing. Wondering if it’s any different for the police versions. Napa has ones that are considered fleet use. Trying to figure out what’s the difference.
