    ‘04 z71 No 4x4 lights No service message

    Swath, I wish I had a tech 2… would there be codes if there are no service messages or lights? I think you’ve seen my turd-burban! I’ve got some more semi-progress stuff for it coming soon. I’ll throw a pic or two of the new ride. Nooj

    OE quality carpet

    I laid it in the 90ish* sun for a a few hours while I put the Silas mat down, but it didn’t help much…

    ‘04 z71 No 4x4 lights No service message

    Howdy all, Nooj here. Just picked up my brand spanking new 04 Tahoe Z71. Biggest issue (so far!) is that it has the equipment of a 4x4 underneath, and the accompanying electronics- but with none of the fun of a 4x4. No lights on the control, no 4x4 action when said control panel buttons are...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Picked up a fairly clean ‘04 Tahoe Z71 for my son. Got a little work to do, but it’sa big head start ahead of where the turd-burban started!

    OE quality carpet

    I ordered the ACC (Auto Custom Carpet) off of RockAuto for my 02 Suburban. I’m still working on the installation… It’s pre-formed, has the mass backing and carpet padding attached. Unfortunately, it got misshapen and some creases from being jammed in a shipping box. Some of the preformed areas...

    2003 Chevy Tahoe chassis for a muscle car

    I thought about sticking a ‘57 Chevy wagon on a tahoe chassis. But all I did was think about it… I know lots of folks have put older pickups on Tahoe chassis. In fact there’s a company that makes a body mount kit for various old trucks. But, part of the benefit of doing so is having the modem...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    Hello fellow bipeds! I have only a small update: There has been no progress :favorites68: I found out why my tow/haul switch doesn’t work: wires broken under the steering column cover. Haven’t had time to fix. I DID drop the tank to replace the fuel tank pressure sensor- which was successful...

    I’ll give that a try on the way to work in the morning and report my findings.

    2002 Tahoe Subwoofer replacement attempt failed, can anyone chime in?

    Do you have another system you could test the new sub with? I suppose it’s possible they sent you a dud. If a new sub brought my bass back to life, in my heavily beaten, water leaking, “somebody butchered lots of wiring” suburban- I would certainly think yours would work too. I’m sure you’ve...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    I’m getting a high frequency vibration in the floorboard. I’m going to explain it as simply as I can so you guys might be able to help me figure it out. -Imagine “the missus” left her personal massager in the car, and it’s rolling around near your feet, on. -it’s noticeable around 20-30mph...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    Today it was hotter than two rats f*ckin in a wool sock. I was sweating like a virgin reading a love letter. Felt like my nuts were sawing my legs off, and my âss cheeks done went phase to phase (electrician humor). Stayed busier than a puppy with two peters this weekend, and accomplished a...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    This weekend has been busy and terribly unproductive… Planned on picking up the parts turd, couldn’t get my uncles trailer… I at least went and paid for it, seen it in person. It’s in better shape than the original turd! Couldn’t get it home today. Tried to do the factory amp bypass Once...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    It was fairly cheap ($63) and yes it’s 8” and it fit the factory sub box without any modification. Well, I drilled a few holes through the box to mount it- but that’s it. I wired the two 4 ohm coils in parallel so it matches with the 2 ohm factory specs. I think the wattage range and box...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    Turns out the reason I had no sound from the rear sub is because it was crap. I reinstalled the power filter thing, and installed my new sub, which is the MB Quart Discus ds1-204. I now have bass!! Sounds much better, but I’m still going to do the crossover bypass for the door speakers...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    That makes sense, seeing that it’s in the 12v power wire and there’s no other wires involved.

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    Sound quality in the turd is…. Lacking. It has pioneer speakers in the doors, but they’re still fed through the factory amp. I plan on doing the bypass to get a better range through the door speakers. As for right now though- I’m getting no action out of my tattered sub in the rear. Should it at...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    For my stock Z71, there was not a lot of slack. I think they will be fine at the wheels, just make sure what little slack you have in the front is in the right place. The center rear one seemed the tightest- but that was with one wheel hanging in the air. If you go wheeling (articulate the rear...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    My brakes before the install were really warn. I honestly didn’t drive it enough to get a feel for the brakes before the swap, so I can’t say how big of a difference they make…

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    I asked the feller if he’d do $600, and he said sure. So I reckon I got me a parts vehicle. Just gotta work out the details of hauling it to my dads. Initially, I was against the parts car- because I’ve already got at least 7 vehicles parked at my dads o_O I didn’t think he’d want another in his...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    I think the interior is batter than mine, even if only slightly. Mine is ROUGH. I could probably swap seats with that one and only have a couple panels to replace, vs the entire seats to recover. That’s the potential parts vehicle. The interior color scheme is the same as mine. I did start...

    Rise of the Turd-burban

    Well, the owner said there’s a hole in the side of the block from where it threw a rod :oops: If nobody buys it he’s gonna donate it to the local fire department to practice with… maybe I give it a few days and make a counter offer.

    Evap crap… Popped a P0446 code driving to work. Watched some videos on troubleshooting the evap system, which were great! But… I don’t have a fancy tool to look at all the data and whatnot. So, I did what any normal person would do and stated disconnecting hoses and blowing through em! The...

    Torque app question / Evap code help (P0446)

    Have you gotten your evap problem resolved? I’ve been driving my project ‘burb around, waiting on the emission monitors to get to “complete” and I had the P0446 code pop up today. I also do not have a diagnostic tool capable of reading the fuel tank pressure. But perhaps the voltage can be read...
