I have the same codes coming up on my 96 tahoe. The guys at autozone say inefficient catilitic converter. I have not changed the cats on the tahoe yet, just run with the light on for now. The code numbers are the same discrip as you have. Tahoe has 140K miles. If yours has low mileage, try to clear the code and see if it comes back. Good luck

Thank you "Nick 02 Zo6" and "djengr" for the info! I just installed long tube headers and a GHL exhaust and have yet to get it Dyno-tuned, so I suspect the air-fuel ratios are a little off and might have caused this code.
