Hi. Does anyone know if a box from a 2002 Silverado will fit a 2003 SS?What is a reasonable price for a rust free box in the right color? Thanks
-
No mods other then a tune.I think it is throttle body related.I'm going to start with cleaning the TB and then check wiring. Thanks
-
Great.Thanks.It happened again today.The code 1516.
-
Thanks guys.I can't remeber the code but if it comes up again I will post it.

Hi. My SS went into Reduced Engine Power mode the other day.I took it to a friend who did a diagnostic check.The trouble code was something to do with the throttle body and he cleared it.Sorry.I don't remember what the code was.The truck ran fine for a couple more days and it happened again today.I bought a cheap hand held code checker and again eraced the code.Does anyone know what is needed to stop this from happening again? Thanks

A online suscription is about $10 for a year.Hard to say no even if you only look at the pics.;)

A few months ago I noticed my mileage (MPG)was getting low.I drive the same route every week day and don't drive much during the weekend.My route is mostly country with 10% city.I was averaging 15 MPG.Not good.I topped up my tires to 30PSI.One was down to almost 20PSI.Bad.I know.I also changed the oil and checked my K&N stock style air filter.I had cleaned/oiled it about a year ago and it looked ok.I had some time so I thought I would clean it anyway.The problem with K&N filters is they are dark compared to the white stock filter which shows up dirt very easily.Usually the K&N will go light grey when the oil drys up telling you it's time to clean/oil.I sprayed the filter down,let it sit for a minute or two and then soaked it in a warm bucket of water.After about an hour I pulled the filter out of the bucket and the water was filthy.I was surprized.I rinced it out in a clean bucket of water,let dry and oiled it.My truck now averages 19MPG compared to 14-15 previous.I also tryed 87 octane compared to 91 over the next couple of weeks.Not a major difference,if any.My truck has 2 ECMs.One has a tune and the other is stock.Even the ECM with the tune ran about the same as the stock one and even under full throttle never pings.There may be a difference of .2-.3 MPG advantage to the stock tune.Hard to say but the info screen said the stock tune averaged that much better.My overall readings were done on how many miles I got out of a full tank using the low fuel light each time.I would average 380 miles per tank.I also tried increasing the tire pressure from 30 to 35 and didn't notice a measurable difference. Thanks.

I bought my stock 03 SS 1 1/2 years ago.It seemed to ride ok,even though it was stiffer then my 2WD Silverado.The SS has about 120K on it.Even though I have never owned a 4WD truck before the ride in my SS seems a little jittery in the back.Almost too stiff.I changed the rear shocks which were stock and they were not leaking.I just used a cheap NAPA replacement.There was no difference.When I was under the truck there was only a fingers width between the factory rubber stops and the frame.I still havn't done a test to see if the rubber stops are bottoming out when I'm in the truck.My truck drives tight and has not been used as a work truck.Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
