Greetings All, After replacing the lower intake manifold gasket on a 1996 Tahoe 5.7L, and re-installing the distributor, the car was throwing code P1345 (cam position and crank position don't agree). The car did run ok, more or less. The proper method to correct is to attach a scanner with cam...

Greetings All ... I am putting back together the engine bay on a 1996 Tahoe, 5.7L Vortec after a Lower Intake Manifold gasket replacement. I did not take pictures before starting the project (in January, some things came up). It is May, and all is being put back together, but I don't remember...

Hello all. I am killing some time by going the RPO codes in the glove box of the 1996 Tahoe and have come across R8T ("CONTROL SALES ITEM NO. 69"). What might this be? What are control sales items? Cheers!

Does anyone have long term experience with the Bosch Platinum+4 spark plugs in a 5.7L Vortec? Mine has no mods save for a throttle body extender.

I plan to change the fuel filter today (1996 Tahoe 5.7L, 4-dr, 4wd). I am new to this forum but did not find a DIY on this. So it seems pretty straight forward. The fuel filter is held in place by a metal strap and it appears one bolt needs to be removed to release the strap. The filter is...

I was reminded of this while going through the owners manual. I am the original owner of our Tahoe and recall receiving a letter testing the waters for a class-action law suit based on misrepresentation of the Tahoe's fuel capacity. The owners manual states 30 gallons but, in fact, that tank...

I am having trouble starting my 1996 Tahoe (5.7L gas, 120,000 miles, original owner) when cold (first start of the day, not weather related). Car turns over fine but I don't get combustion. If I add a bit of fuel to the throttle body it starts right away. A little while ago I tried starting...
