    2005 Tahoe Towing

    Ok and what about for a hauling a heavy load? I'm looking at purchasing a project 04 silverado, weighs around 4-5k lbs plus the 2.2k lbs of the uhaul trailer, the tahoes tow capacity is 6500, so its a bit over. Do you think it's doable? Of course keeping out of OD.

    2005 Tahoe Towing

    Hello, so in the coming days I'm going to be hauling my dads motorcycle to the dealer about an hour away with my tahoe. Will be using a uhaul bike trailer with a 500lb bike. My question is with the 4l60e do I need to keep it out of overdrive or use towing mode for this load? How do I know when...

    loose steering

    I'll remember how it goes together, but I definitely need it for the rest of the week, need to tow my dads motorcycle to the harley dealer for work. I'm just worried those studs are going to give me a hard time, so part of me feels like it'll be easier to get them out now. But if they're rusty...

    loose steering

    Having a debate in my head right now, ordering parts today for the idler and pitman arms, but I already know the ones on there are seized on pretty good. I have a pickle fork to get them off. However I'm having a stupid debate in my head, should I get them unseized first before the parts come...

    loose steering

    Total waste of money! Got this alignment done the same day I got tires at ******* pep boys, and I waited 5 hours for them to mount and balance them, and to do an alignment, what a joke. In their defense I could've checked my suspension components sooner because I have been having the loose...

    loose steering

    Oh its definitely been bad for years, my mother had this truck before me, she bought in early 2019 and the steering was loose then. I checked the ball joints all around for play, wiggling the tire at 12 and 6 position, no slop. Took a big breaker bar beneath the tire and pryed up while looking...

    Updating yall here! Found a ton of play in the pitman and idler arms. No wonder why my steering feels the way it does!

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Thanks! And those grounds are the ones I cleaned.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Are there any common grounds for the EBCM, and the 2 front wheel speed sensors? I cleaned up the EBCM ground on the frame underneath the drivers door, but wondering if theres any others?

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    I think I will do that, didn't even think of that lol. Thank you.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    I'm probably just going to get that rebuilt and replace the 2 front speed sensors that are throwing codes at the same time

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Should probably get that rebuilt sooner than later then!
  15. JPVortex

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    May replace those 2 speed sensors first

    Everytime when the abs light comes on when I start driving I hear a little vibration then it comes on. Sounds like maybe the abs pump running for a split second then the abs light comes on, interesting

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Yeah that's what I thought, was just thinking it'd be worth trying cause it's on hand. Theres also the 30 minute relearn procedure so the truck will be able to start.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Would there be any chance of the actual PCM itself being bad? And loosing connection with the EBCM/ABS system? I ask this because I have a spare PCM lying around that a friend gave me amongst other random parts that he had leftover from a partout, and deciding if it's worth trying to swap out PCMs

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Ohhh so that's why its not as easy as just buying a used replacement, that's why people always opt for rebuilding.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Ok thanks! I'll remove mine(hopefully those little torx screws come off easily) and see what's up with it.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    How would I know which one I have?
  22. JPVortex

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Ok good to know thanks. I'll see if the EBCM will separate from the pump lol. I may also get a better OBD2 reader that can do an "autobleed" that will run the pump motor and tell me if the pump motor is bad or not.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Not sure if my soldering iron would hold up with this, it's a $10 one from walmart lmao. I may consider a used EBCM, seen a few for around $70 on ebay, probably even cheaper at a junkyard, but theres the chance of it having issues too. Would I be able to see the bad solder joints?

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    I cleared them and they all came right back! Lol. The light is off till I start driving, and after about 25 feet it comes on.

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Hello, so for a really long time my 05 tahoe has had abs codes. It has a ton of them, and I'm wondering now if the EBCM has failed causing all of these codes? I cleaned up the EBCM ground to no avail. All the codes seem to have to do with loosing signal with a circuit, which makes me think the...
