02 sensors not disconnected or bad contact on 1 side of exhaust?
Shouldn't be--but we know how that goes. I actually haven't been under the truck since it fell last week. I didn't get any o2 codes, I scanned it today. Used a scanner instead of the Tech 2.

I had it jacked up last week with a jack stand supporting the ps under the axle tube--also had the jack still under it. Long story short trying to bring it back down, the jack went crooked, jack stand tilted and it got stuck like that. Had a feeling it was gonna fall so I grabbed a rake and tried to pull the jack stand out(because it was stuck sideways)and the truck fell. Had a feeling that was gonna happen. Second time this has ever happened to me. Once was enough.

Glad it did not smack you on the way down. I had a guy working for me a few years ago that got hit by the frame of his truck in a similar situation. It smacked him hard enough to cause permanent brain injury. He was in the army at the time and ended up medically retired out of it.

That's pretty sad. I don't mess around when it comes to crawling under a car. I've been paranoid about that since I was a kid.

I drove it a few blocks today. My gf drove it twice this week locally and she also noticed it wasn't running right. I can hear the exhaust note from the tailpipe sounds off--if that makes sense. At idle and while driving it.

We've done some fuel trim interpretation way back in this thread before, I believe.
See what happens to the short terms when you get on the gas?

Sounds like you need a better floor jack and jack stands.

This Tahoe sux.

They're good, it's where it was that was the problem.

You know it hears you every time you say that, right? No wonder it doesn't like you anymore.

Sorry if I'm late to the dance here, but when's the last time you reset the trims? The long terms adjust over time to keep the shorts at 0. Is that scan data at idle?
The 1st scans were just at idle. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get pics of the fuel trims on the short ride today. I did see a high of 10 on the short term trims--I think on bank 1. Driver's side? Do you know how to reset the trims with the Tech 2? I'm guessing it would be under the "Special Functions" menu?
