Looking for the torque spec for the front sway bar link(s) nut torque specs. Is 17 #ft correct?

On my 2001 Tahoe, 5.3, I got a "Service Engine" light and an error code yesterday: "PO327 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input". I reset it and it came back after 5 miles. Could this be about poor fuel (used 87 octane CITGO) or more likely a bad sensor? I've tried to mix in half a tank of...

I agree that weight is the culprit. Our C5 vette with a similar engine used to get about 20 on it's worst days with foot to the floor every chance I got.

It could be worse. I just read about a pleasure boat that uses 33 gallons and hour.....less than 1 knot per gallon.

Put the seat in the basement until you have enough kids to fill the 3rd row. Personally I order vehicles to avoid spending $900 on a seat that we'll never use.

I'm doing very well right now, both on leftover or new order.

My '01 dosen't look good underneath. Kept it too long. Soon to be turned in. Numerous things went wrong in those years but it's got to be better than a F-O-R-D..

I read 14/19.

The EPA is changing the numbers on the stickers. Look at the "compare to official window sticker" button on the right side to see the old and new mileage ratings. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm

I guess that's what I meant......anyone know if the bolts are hidden, requiring special tools, a PHd, superman, etc Or if it can be done from the inside with minimal trauma to my blood pressure ? A 2007 shop manual might give a clue.

Is there any great issues removing the middle row seats in the new Tahoe? We need more of a cargo hauler than a back seat people hauler.

My 2001 window sticker claims 14/17 mpg. Firguring in the BS factor, you might not be far off.

My 2001 Tahoe smells like burning brush lately when I push it hard up hills. It seems like it's near the headpipes or tranny area. I checked for the obvious and there are no mouse or squirrel nests on the engine or pipes, and it's only when pushed hard anyways. The tranny fluid was down a quart...
