    yes, that would be the oily substance i would say. if you need the kit, check out flowmaster 2010021. on amazon it is going for $184.74 prime. http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/?page_id=451&partno=2010021&make=47&year=1995&model=499&submodel=96&engine=62&category=0&kw=...

    weird idle

    yeah, it was relatively easy. i purchased the flowmaster kit 2010023 from amazon, $312 plus tax. the worst part was getting the nuts off the back side of the flanges where the 'cat back' section would start. its a 9/16" head vs the 15mm i thought fit it right. got the front flanges broke loose...

    weird idle

    well, got the cat section of exhaust swapped out. truck definitely runs better. thinking bout going ahead and getting the catback section with muffler changed out. the only real kit i have found, that won't cost my paycheck, is flowmaster, but still $389. anybody know a muffler shop in or around...

    code alarm ca650

    does anybody have this setup on their tahoe? we've got it on our 99, and i like it. the only problem, haven't figured anything out on how to adjust the sensitivity. its driving me nuts. any rice burner, somewhat loud diesel, or garbage truck goes by, it either gives its warning beeps or...

    weird idle

    well these bastards better hold for the remainder of the life of the truck. so back to original reason for posting. i cleared code long before the O2 sensors were installed. didn't notice a difference in the way it starts or runs. driving it tonight, SES light came back on. haven't had a...

    weird idle

    I'm pretty sure i did, or at least thats what they told me at advance auto parts. $30 each side i believe. i replaced both upstream O2 sensors, truck seems to run a bit smoother, and start easier.

    weird idle

    nope, just 1/2 ton 2 door tahoe. i looked it up and found it says its the 4l60e, but thought i would double check. yeah, my guy told me to try the upstream O2 sensors first, then if still problems, go ahead with the cats. it all seems to be rusting out, so i will probably end up just buying a...

    weird idle

    well i got to talking to a guy who is more saavy with this stuff than me. actually hes an engineer. suggested changing upstream O2 sensors first. i said ok. so i go to oreillys and autozone to compare prices, and they ask a question that i have no clue of the answer. now dont laugh when i say...

    weird idle

    ok, so its finally throwing a code, P0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1). so im figuring this exhaust, motor to catS, is factory? yep, 2 cats. dual all the way back to muffler, dual in, dual out. some crappy muffler thats rusting through. ive been thinking bout going with a...

    Mayhem, you have some info on that unit? Sounds interesting.

    weird idle

    Ok, so first, this has been doing this for yrs, so I'm figuring it's not the pump, possibly filter as well. The pump was recently replaced due to it taking a dump when my aunt was driving down the highway. Next, what will be my best way to check my fuel pressure? I have a gauge setup to read...

    1999 Idle Probs

    i would really like to hear some updates on this issue. it basically covers the same thing i just posted about. youre talking bout a scanner. any suggestions on one that wont break the bank? my wife took it to autozone last week to have them read the SEL code. they said it was the gas cap not...

    weird idle

    so heres the deal. i noticed when the wife and i returned from supper earlier, that the tahoe, when put in park, had a very low almost rough idle. just replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor last week. the fuel pump and filter were replaced several months back. we just recently picked...
