I had the tuner leave the chop in it. At least, as much as he could without causing problems. This cam could probably be tuned to sound almost stock.

I've considered messing with the spark tables again to give mine more chop but I still haven't had time to tune it in cold weather so I doubt I'll actually do that lol.

Grrr I got the "tighten fuel cap" message again this morning. I thought that was specifically from the evap valve but I see some say its from the thingy on the manifold.


Also, @PNW VietVet Made me jealous by getting both front and rear Hellwig bars and since I am redoing the entire front end it makes since to do a new sway bar so Hellwig 7702 is finally on the way.

I get the jealousy thing but the sway bar kit is not gonna fix that "tighten fuel cap" message.

What if I beat the cluster with the sway bar?

That of course would not only fix anything but your MPG will increase. True story!

Oh I'm sure that plus putting 2 stroke oil in the gas will probably push my MPG to the mid 30s

Well busy weekend done, moved to a new house Saturday conveniently 1mile from my shop and old house which I'm keeping. Then Sunday I ran errands all day and got started on the Tahoe right around dark. Got everything off, chopped, cleaned, and painted!

Also all 4 ball joints were completely shot! Can't believe it wasn't more noticable driving, guess I'll see how it feels all new soon.

Coil overs done. Sitting a little nose high got 36"on the dot for fender height but I forgot to measure before. This is with basically no preload on 1,000lbs springs. Alignment is a little wack probably but between that and spring settling I doubt I'll get 1.5" drop to put it even with the rear 34.5" fender height.

Overall swap went great nothings seems wrong and it rides great in the front with both dials in the middle at 9 clicks. Rear rides like a horse drawn carriage now.

I'm to tired and cold to post more. My new house has gas heater and the tank is empty so I gotta start a fire in the fireplace now to keep from freezing solid in my 5 hours of sleep.
