Pull the filter and see if you can blow through it. Easy to change anyway. Do it every 15k I have heard. I have not changed mine in about 20k
99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
honestly its been a long long time since ive changed mine should do that soon
1999 chevy silverado 4.8 v8 lowered 2" front 3" rear stillen bumper cover, stillen air intake with added cold air box, throttle body spacer, custom mirror stainless steel engine covers, stainless heater and coolant hoses, gaylords hard tonnou cover, custom classic roll pan molded in, sir micheals handle relocator, led tails, custom painted interior pieces. custom magnaflow all stainless exhaust. not to mention other stuff lol
well my problem is when i kick down the gas pedal on my 99 tahoe 5.7,4l60e it doesnt want to get moving past cruising speed,rpm's dont jump up and peg like a trans slip,just wondering if a filter would cause major loss of power on kickdown?
I think that is one thing it will do.

so thats the first thing i should try?
Cats are most likely plugged. Replace the fuel filter first and check the fuel pressure but I would guess you're fighting a plugged cat.
Dude, it could be several things--including the clogged fuel filter. It could be timing, a bad distributor, bad distrubutor rotor or cap, fouled-out spark plugs, an arching spark plug wire, bad fuel pump, clogged fuel lines, etc. The FIRST thing I would look at (considering your symptoms) with the OBS Tahoe (5.7 Vortec) is the Fuel Slider. They tend to go bad after 5-6 years or so. Have a mechanic look at it or you can replace it yourself. They are about $60. Let us know what you find out...
