    Oh, I assumed they would fail unless all were ready.

    Was just watching with my own scanner, haven't gone back yet.

    I think you are allowed two not ready. I have driven around with the scanner attached and kept checking until it was down to two and then have it inspected again.

    It passed with the EVAP not being ready. Didn't have to wiggle the obd connector this time.

    Still curious which pins the state computer uses that other devices ive tried don't but glad it works.

    Well, this weekend.

    Apparently LS cylinder head freeze plugs can weep - who knew? Good news it's on the passenger front and easy enough to get to.

    Now, why Sean thought it was a good idea to have his hoodlum friends help change a motor in an 01 AWD Tahoe still eludes me.

    RE: weeping coolant passage stuff, ACDelco makes copper cooling system seal tablets for this kind of stuff.

    Apparently it is SOP per GM to add a tablet per gallon or so on a new engine and keep doing a tablet per gallon replaced of coolant in the future.

    I have been doing the same on my motors since a weeping freeze plug on a brand new motor caused me some greif.

    Engineered obsolescence? Just crazy that they don't do it "right." Sean used a socket and the press to make the freeze plug 0.015-ish bigger and a little import grey RTV...

    Once that stopped leaking and a test drive found the OTHER steam crossover tube didn't seat well enough so trim the bolt a little and tighten it up. He drove it home last night. All in all not too bad a project all things considered.
