Gearshift selector switch???

Damn--reverse lights not working now, and fuses are good. The never ending story. Anyone have any ideas?

Burn it to the ground lol. But pull the engine first. Oh wait...it has problems too.

Shows proper gear selection, PRNDL etc. Would that still work if it was the selector?

Engine is good buddy. Everything else is just getting older. I have to drive it everyday now--didn't before. Had it up to 126--so it runs great NA!

Doesn’t it still go into reduced power mode? Sucks that’s still happening.

Yeah, I don't really consider that motor related. I'm almost positive it's the tps plug I replaced. Feels a little loose. If I jiggle it around you can hear and feel the guts of the tps clicking. From the motor shaking I think it jiggles that plug enough to cause it to lose contact--enough to get that damn reduced engine power.

I was just messin' Tony. You have a few little things, nothing major. You'll figure them out.

Thx for the vote of confidence Mark. She's getting long in the tooth, and stuff just breaks now. Has around 292-295,000 on it. Poor ol' girl.

Yep. I just sold the Tahoe I had with 265k on it a few minutes ago. Nobody wanted to take a chance on it due to the mileage. Stupid, they go for 400-500 k no problem with just maintenance. 3k is all I could get, third time listing it on FB marketplace and the first people to look at it. Been trying for 2 months to sell it.

I forgot what you paid--hopefully you made a few $$ on it. More money to put into the beast ir silverado.
