  1. Wiring Question

    in General SS

    Posted

    yes there is a harness that runs behind the driver's front fenderwell, what issues did you experience?

     

    2 Issues ...

    1. My 3rd Brake Light was turning on when turning on the right turn signal. Right turn signal on caused cruise control to turn off (naturally)
    2. The PCM lost communication with one of the 2 APP sensors, causing "Reduced Power Mode" (Limp Mode) to engage - This set 4 codes in the PCM

    These cleared up once the wet weather passed. Both issues went away, and are currently not a problem, making diagnosis difficult. :nonod:

  2. Wiring Question

    For you guys that have torn apart SS's ... I was wondering if there is a wiring harness that runs behind the left front fenderwell ... ?

     

    I had some weird electrical issues happen last week (Only when raining), and I'm wondering if they're related to the rub spot in the LF fenderwell from my tires being aligned incorrectly.

  5. New Parts Opinions

    in General SS

    Posted

    I need to get a boatload of new parts for my truck. Just wanted opinions on what everyone has used, liked/disliked, etc.

     

    Brakes Front & Rear:

    Calipers

    Pads

    Rotors

     

    Shocks - Thinking About Sensa-Tracs

    Front

    Rear

     

    Tie Rod Ends:

    Inner

    Outer

     

    Ball Joints

    Upper

    Lower

     

    P/S Pump

     

    Alternator

     

    On a budget of 3K total.

     

    Priced everything through NAPA - 2234.15 (Opted for their hi-perf. drilled/slotted rotors)

    625 (I Hope) for tires.

     

    2859.15 total.

     

    Thoughts?

    Most likely a tie-rod, check your ball joints too just to be safe. A tie-rod could also contribute to your sloppy steering, but there are many other variables that come into play now also. A loose pitman arm(s) can contribute, as well as some play in the steering box.

     

    We thought so too ... :D

     

    So we replaced both pitman and idler with Moog components ... I wonder if it's not them that's doing it ... :confused:

  7. Unusual Tire Wear

    This was why I was asking ... I'm about to do a lot of work on the truck ... including new tires, and my buddy and I were having a hard time finding out what part was causing the problem.

     

    We aligned it, got underneath, checked for wear and we couldn't find anything ...

     

    And what's strange ... is my alignment is still 100% true from when we aligned it in March. I'm guessing we aligned with the bad tie-rod end ...

     

    So ... it's certain that it's just the tie-rod end that's worn out? That may explain why the steering pulls me all over the road lately ...

     

    NOTE - Something I forgot to mention ... the abnormal inside wear started happening after we aligned the truck in March ...

    Anyone know the cause of the driver's front tire wearing only on the inside, while the pass. front is wearing normally?

     

    I noticed this on another Silverado that I saw in a parking lot, so I'm hoping there's a known answer ...

    I won't touch an iPhone because the service isn't with Verizon, it's with AT&T. Jobs made a really dumb choice not choosing Verizon as an optional carrier. He could have had a hell of a lot more money in his pocket.

  17. Todays Dumb Question

    in PCM Tuning

    Posted

    Crank Reference should stay in the PCM once it has been learned. I'm guessing that the PCM you put in has never seen an engine before ... that's probably why you had to learn it.

     

    Most GM's retain their Crank Reference even after reprogramming. It is usually only new or reman PCM's that need to have the Crankshaft Variation Learn Procedure run ... you'll know if it needs it if you get the P1336 DTC.
