    Need new spark plugs...

    On my Tahoe the air box says to gap plugs at .060 inches... So if you're doing .035 you're about halfway there. Thats unless you know something that I dont. ;)

    LS1 crate motor question

    Well I was looking at prices, and someone is offering a 400hp LS1 for $5300 and my dealer wants $5800 for a new long block, $7600 for a 6.2. So I figured I ask about the LS1, if its 400hp and its cheaper then a stock replacement, it's worth asking. If the better route is to go a 6.0 or 6.2...

    LS1 crate motor question

    so, you're saying go with a 6.0L, but why? Curious.. Do I need to stay away from engines designed for cars? Stay with motors that were built for trucks?

    just for fun, funny vanity plates you have seen

    We are getting 02TACO for our Hoe. Our 4 year old cant say Tahoe, he says Taco. So the family joke is we are going for a ride in the Taco.

    question on door speakers

    got a bad sounding speaker in the passenger front door. So my question is how to get to them. Does the grill pop off or do I have to remove the door panel? If it matters, I have a 2002 Hoe. Thanks

    Question for 4WD guys

    only time I use any of the 4WD's is when it snows. And I feel since the Hoe weights so much, most driving 2WD is perfect. But sometimes you have to stop at an incline and 2WD just doesn't cut it. So for the most part if its snowing out it's in Auto 4WD. It wont be till summer when I find out...

    Question for 4WD guys

    I've got 2002 5.3 Hoe with 4WD. I have an option "Auto 4WD". I'm curious, I know it says that it's 2WD till it senses wheel slip and it will engage, and it does that. But I'm curious is once it's in does it stay that way till I put it back in 2WD? Or will it go back to 2WD in a matter of a...

    what are you guys getting for MPG

    right now im 50/50 to 60/40 - City/highway I'm getting anywhere from 12.9 to 14.5 mpg in this situation. Just curious if my Hoe was in ballpark of everyone else. I was getting 8 to 9.5 when I got it, and it was throwing codes saying Bank 1 and 2 were lean. But I've cleaned my MAF and...

    what are you guys getting for MPG

    What are you guys getting with 50/50 city and highway driving. Figure some of you that live in big cities would have a great idea, since there is a lot of interstate/bypass 4 laners and a lot of in town stop and go driving. I'm getting 14.5 MPG right now with that type of driving, am I...

    Got Codes, any ideas where to start?

    Actually I see nothing simple about it. Only way to still solve this is throw parts at it. I'm doing the simple things, like cleaning the MAF and I'm heading to Harbor Freight after work to pick up a FP test gauge. E-85 5.3's should be 48-54 psi. And I'll just go from there. The Hoe hasn't...

    Got Codes, any ideas where to start?

    Well from what str8wkd posted for me, from what i gather is the LTFT shouldn't be higher then + or - of 10. and it is in the 21 area. and my STFT is like, 1.5 to 5.0 + or - so that seems to be right. My question then is, if I know I'm lean at LTFT does that tell a trained mechanic really what...

    Got Codes, any ideas where to start?

    Ok thanks, I cleared the codes and waiting for it to trip again. Nice thing about having this on the laptop is I can be driving it and I can watch the vehicle on the fly. If I remember right, STFT was in a area of -1.89 to -4.98 and Idle and LTFT was either + or - but it was like 21.29. When...

    Tell you some of my problems I'm having

    I'm not sure why it wouldn't take the codes, not sure if there was something wrong with the device or what. But the guy that was running the scanner, is a mechanic at a GM dealer here in town. He helps out part time at O'rielly's. He wasn't sure why it wasn't getting the codes, just...

    Tell you some of my problems I'm having

    I took it to O'riellys and it says theres codes but it couldn't pull them. Guy that tried to pull them is a SAE mechanic that part times the counter. So I do trust his experience, he recommended me to take it to a Chevy Dealer. Kind of really dont want to go that route right away.

    Tell you some of my problems I'm having

    I've got 2002 5.3 Tahoe. I've got a stumble when it's cold, it's getting 8.5 to 11 mpg. Today it really stumbled when it first started, then it died. I tried three times and it wouldn't start. Had to floor it then turned the key and it finally started. Hoping someone can give me some ideas...

    Roof racks from Escalade to Tahoe

    Thank You... The ones I saw on Ebay were black, probably why I couldn't tell the difference. Now I see the upgrade value. Thanks
