Funny story.

 

Turns out the shop put a circular rubber piece inside my cold air intake just so they wouldn't lose it and they forgot it was in there. When I pulled off the intake the piece just fell on the ground. Lol

 

I reset the ecu and had the truck relearn itself and now it's runs like a champ!

 

 

Thanks guys. Haha

On the topic of the transmission, I'm positive that it is unrelated. Your truck being a 99 has the old 4l60e trans and so any miles over 125k on the trans are miles likely on borrowed time. Unless you get lucky like I did. 208k on a stock transmission with only one fluid change ever at 30k. Towed, hauled and beaten and when we sold the truck it was still shifting strong.

WTF are you talking about? Sorry man but bad info on a web forum especially posted in a thread where the owner has no idea just chaps my ass. On the nbs 99 truck it is the same 300mm converter two piece case that the 2000,2001,2002, and even the 2003 and 04 trucks got overflow units that weren't 4L65Es. On the older 4L60e the case is cast as one, 298mm converter, and a totally different input shaft among other things. The only thing that carried the older unit parts over was the S-10 but it even got the 2 piece case.

Funny story.

I say old meaning old by 2015 standards. I'm well aware that the 4l60e in his truck is the same as the rest of the gmt 800 trucks. My point is that a 4l60e is old and dated considering new trucks have an 8 speed.

Something to consider too with these trucks. If the MAF sensor is dirty, get a good electrical contact cleaner or MAF specific cleaner and clean it out. MAF sensor is responsible for alot more than people give them credit for. Also, if there's any coking or carbon building up on the throttle blade or throttle body that can cause bad idle issues. Cleaning both with help with how well it idles and runs.

+1 on this advice.

 

The throttle body of these trucks need to be cleaned regularly.

Throttle body and MAF are spotless.

 

Idle got a little weird again and looks like I got a small air leak still. It's getting a lean SES light P0105 for both banks

 

I sprayed the manifold with throttle body cleaner and idle went up. I got the day off work tomorrow and will get to the bottom of this.

 

Hope I don't gotta completely replace the manifold due to warping. Heard that's a common issue.

      I'm suborn like that Ed. There's a plaque in my doctor office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Works for allot of things.    Reality is, the wife loves her SUV and even given it's issues, she'd buy another if she found one with low enough miles. Then again she has me to maintain it.    Most of what ails this thing is GM shooting themselves in the foot and by extension the buyer. Besides a ridiculous breather system the cat warm up strategy, IMHO, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen an OEM do to a vehicle they warranty. On cold start it r-e-t-a-r-d-s the ignition to like -17* ATDC and dump fuel like kicking over a pail to force combustion in the CAT's for rapid warm up. This literally hoses the oil off cylinder walls and creates enough varnish precursors to stick rings in even well maintained engines. THEN if that wasn't bad enough they recommend using a wanting fluid specification at equally stupid interval.    Common to all GDI motors I'm aware of is this silly practice of driving the HPFP off the cam giving a leaking pump direct and unchecked access to the crankcase. And sir, eventually the ALL leak. Your job is to "catch it if you can". Yes, these are the same people that removed dipsticks from engines and transmissions in belief Joe Average wasn't capable of checking, reading and maintain his own vehicles fluids. Sadly  and in large they were correct. Most people these days can't tell a sparkplug from a fire plug.  Great ideas one and all.    Every move and every error calculated to defend themselves from the law and their own customers.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.
