What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Christoph]

Replaced drivers side motor mount and spark plugs/wires. What a huge difference. Smooth idle and throttle response.

How many miles did your plug wires last and what brand were they?

Met up with a fellow member today @dross99_si and attempted to find an emissions leak. Turns out the Tech-2 wanted the engine temp below 158 and that wasn't happening under today's Florida sun, even in the morning after a short drive. So instead we poked around the computer system and shot the breeze until next time. We're both chasing a P0442, very small evap system leak. The Tech-2 can be used to eliminate one portion of the system but I really need to make or buy a smoke generator and do a visual search.

Andy's 2007 Tahoe is one of the cleanest and well maintained trucks I've seen.

Oh, for you guys with Tech-2 and 2007 or 2008 trucks, where can you see the Fuel Pump Module or the pressure and such? Mine (2009) has a dedicated menu but did not see it on the 2007 and poked around a while and still couldn't find it.

It was nice meeting you today and I thank you for taking the time to try and help us sort out this P0442 issue. Also thanks for the compliment. We try to take care of our vehicles as best we can. Much appreciated James!

I don’t remember where it was on my 08 Silverado but it wasn’t hard to find.

How bright are they?

They literally light up in entire of the truck. I got cool white.

I just replaced the original wires on my 07. They were ACDELCO and lasted 216k. They would have gone longer but I’m a huge proponent of preventative maintenance and I didn’t want to push my luck. I replaced them with OEM ACDELCO wires and should get another 200k+ out of them

If you were that huge (Damn auto correct) of a proponent you would have changed them 100k ago....

I changed plugs 100k ago. Wires didn't need it.

evap leaks are generally one of the 2 solenoids, the front solenoid runs about $25-30 online and can be changed in a matter of 2 minutes, the rear one runs about $35-50 and takes a few more minutes but is not difficult, the more pricier part is the canister which runs about $100 but probably doesn't need to be replaced unless your having trouble filling the gas tank.
for the time and prices involved to troubleshoot the leak you can shotgun it and replace all 3 and be done messing with it. just my .02, last time mine popped up it was just the front solenoid $25 and it went away
