Interested in said tires:smile: I was able to do a 1000k mile trip with 95% HWY and averaged 18.2mpg with my fiance and 2 cats. Haven't reset the fuel economy since and I'm down to 15.1 avg over 3k miles.:eek: I've done some general maintenance since and put on some Destination 2 tires(better...

I checked the pcm kit out last night too. They claim gains of 12-18hp and 1mpg. Those numbers sure seem high. How does the stock fan cause that much drag? I thought it engages/disengages when needed as well.

What benefit do you get out of efan? Is there a kit or is this something that needs to be parted together on your own?

I guess you're 230/280 :wink: Any progress?

I have an '05 Rainier and it likely has a lot of original suspension parts. I've been looking through some threads, but didn't really find a solid answer. How often is the pump supposed to run? Mine comes on about every minute. When I am stopped I can feel the truck rise when the pump runs...

Replaced the encoder motor this morning. Fixed the issue. AWD is working really well. It kicks in much faster than it was before as well. What an easy job. After checking out another gmt thread showing the install, I was able to do it in 30min before work this morning. Thanks for the help...

Ok heres my update after a scan. Please chime in if you have anything to add. C0035 U1017 C0374 Also had a throttle body code but I forgot what it was maybe p2119er...position code. Never threw a cel though so Im blaming that on the -25f temps we've had. C0035 is the left front speed...

^ I know and I appreciate the help. I've seen a lot of the same users posting advice so I am getting used to another forum. I ordered the encoder motor from summit to make sure I have it before the weekend. I won't get a scan till Wednesday. If it points to something else I'll just ship it back.

Its NP4. Looks like rock auto has them for 125 and summit has them for 145 with free shipping. It is Dorman 600904 for the NP4. Hoping to snag a scan tool from a friend later to read the transfer case codes that Im sure are stored. I just hate ordering parts without being 100% certain its...

Thanks for the quick response. Happen to have the encoder motor part number handy? Are their non-gm variants of this part?

Hi everyone. First post, but I did a little research before starting another AWD thread. Hoping to get some direction/troubleshooting. I have an 05 Rainier 5.3l with ~140K. Bought it 3 months ago. When I got it it had one newer tire and 3 worn tires. I noticed the AWD would turn on in...
