I got me a Tahoe!

A few things I'd suggest:

1. Check the fuel pressure at the rail.
2. I assume that you have a scanner that reads individual cylinder misfires -- is #4 the only one showing anything significant?
3. Just to rule it out, do a quick CASE relearn. If the crank position sensor has been changed this might make a difference, and it's quick and easy.
4. What is the MAF reading in g/sec at hot idle? It should be close to the engine displacement in liters.
5. Look at the short- and long-term fuel trims. You could have an injector that's over- or under-fueling. Might do an injector balance test.

I don't have a scanner but I just added one to my Amazon cart, a cheaper one ($250) because I just flat out need one.

I swapped injector to a good GM Flex fuel injector. I deleted the CEL code P0304 and let it idle for a bit. No CEL came back... yet.

If I rev it up in park, the idle hangs BAD, like if I take it to 3K RPM and let off throttle, it will take a good 3-4 seconds to come back down and when it does, it stumbles a little and starts smoking out of the tailpipe. Its not an oil or coolant smoke though, it smells like a lot of water in exhaust pipe and there is a ton of water/vapor/moisture coming out of the tailpipe.

I'll add throttle body cleaning to my list of suggestions.

Not sure why half the muffler has mud on it and the other half is clean. Hmmm

I'm watching the Army - Navy game..... Was distracted....

I am watching it too. Go Navy and looking good.

I thought he had said that in post #1 and was not sure, so I had to go look.

If in fact #4 is the only cylinder effected, I have to lean at a vacuum leak, since the compression is right on spec at 170 psi.
