And a right-sized socket to drive the new one in without pinching the rubber boot.

Does anyone know if I can check the throttle body and see if its opening 100%, using a Tech 2? @Doubeleive @Rocket Man @swathdiver ?

I have never tried. What’s going on?

It seems a little down on power, almost like the butterfly isn't opening all the way. The last time I had a similar issue, I replaced the throttle body-- because it wasn't opening completely, and it solved the problem.
Why not hook up the Tech2 and see?

This is the dumbest assembly. Anyone delete the black quick connects? Seems like an unnecessary failure point

This is how things cascade with an older vehicle.
My Tahoe is an 03 CA vehicle with part based oxidation and 18 year old rubber.
Nothing I would call rust like some of the vehicles I've seen from the rust belt......
So I replaced a rear caliper today. Nice looking part from Oreilly's....$55 exchange.....even galvanized coated (not really into that, would prefer to paint).
Why did I have to replace the caliper?
Because the bleeder screw was frozen and snapped off.
Why was I jacking with the bleeder screw?
Because I needed to bleed the brakes.
Why?
Because I had to replace my front passenger side brake line. (ACDelco, and I had to grind on it to get the holes to line up....Sheesh)
Why?
Because I nudged it (you have to disconnect from arm) when I replaced the upper control arm and it cracked. Not all the way through but enough create a safety concern.
Why did I have to replace the upper control arms? (I did both)
Because I had to replace the camber bolts and the bushings were gone anyway on the arms (drives much smoother now)
Why did I have to replace the camber bolts?
Because the bolts were "rounded" at the guide plate and wouldn't adjust much when I went to get an alignment.
Why did I have to get an alignment?
Because I put a leveling kit on......just had to do that and it cascaded from there (LOL)
Here's what it looks like now after a thorough cleaning, leveling, and $300 in Z71 wheels and tires from CL.
I bought it on OfferUp for $3000, but it had a really bad rear engine seal leak. 03 Tahoe 155K LT 4x4 HD TP with 3.73 Posi.
No worries though. Ripped the trans out, rebuilt to 4L75E specs, replaced the seal, changed the oil and now its fine....ready for a bigger motor.

grand total of about $125 and you are good for another 5-8 years before they should be replaced again they are a maintenance item. The plastic gets brittle and soft from heat and cold over time
