    Fuel Sender Unit Ohms

    Just spent almost $1000 to have the fuel sender unit replaced by some shady shop in my 2-door Tahoe and they did not fix the problem. Guage reads 1/2 full all the time. Does anyone know what the ohms range should be so I can bench test my old sending unit? Some of the older chevy trucks were...

    VENTING!!! Rip-off Labor rates!

    I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe 2-door that is my pride and joy. I experienced the dreaded gas gauge issue and took it into a supposedly local reputable shop. I had already replaced the air stepper (e.g. gas gauge) in the instrument cluster. They ran some diagnostics and told me the sender unit in...

    Fuel Gauge Stopped Working

    My fuel gauge in my 2-door 1999 Tahoe stopped working. I reads full no matter what. I am quite sure it is the gauge because I just replaced the fuel pump / sender unit a couple of years ago with a high quality Napa unit. And when I slam the door, sometimes it will read correctly briefly. I...

    34"of Snow Ain't Nothing

    We just received 34"+ of very heavy wet snow at my house. I live in a neighborhood that is in a canyon and only has two steep roads to get out to town. I have a completely stock 2-door 99 Tahoe Z-71 with chains for all four corners. My Tahoe was the only vehicle that was making it out of...

    Towing Package Question

    We are getting ready to buy a small camping trailer which I am going to pull with my '99 2-door Tahoe. The truck only has 80,000 miles and has never been modified. It has the heavy-duty factory towing package and I just installed a new 7-blade trailer connector for the wiring. All the wiring...

    Crankshaft / Camshaft Sensor Code - P1345

    I have the dreaded P-1345 OBD II code on my 99 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.7 liter gasoline V-8. The truck has ~ 72,000 miles on it and I have not done any work recently on the engine. It runs flawlessly. I reset the code and popos right back on after a few seconds. I disconnected the battery...

    Freshly Detailed & Waxed!

    Just spend 3 hours washing, detailing and waxing my 99 Z-Z1 Tahoe after coming back from the Canyonlands in Utah. It was filthy. Still looks pretty nice for 21 year old truck.

    Coffee Stains in Carpet

    I have a light grey interior with light grey carpet in my 99 Z-71 2-door Tahoe. It looks great when it is clean but gets dirty very easily. I am quite picky about keeping it very clean as it only has 72,000 miles but I have several coffee stains in my carpet that I cannot get out no matter...

    Fuel Pump?

    My fuel pump crapped out on my 1999 2-door Chevy Tahoe. I have been on multiple websites to find a new one and they all have the wrong connector for the fuel pump from the outside of the tank. All of the one that I have seen have a 4-wire flat connector but mine has a 2-wire square shaped...

    Black Glue of Death

    My 2-door 1999 Z71 Tahoe only has 68,000 miles and it is pretty much brand new from the paint to the interior. I noticed that every time I removed the spare from the rear compartment, I would get the black glue of death all over everything. I took it apart today and removed as much of this...

    Heater Not Working Well

    The heater core blew in my 65k '99 2-door Tahoe so I replaced it, along with a new radiator, all new hoses and a new new thermostat. The heater core job was actually quite easy compared to many other vehicles that I have done in the past. When I filled up the system with coolant, I made sure...

    Bubbling into Coolant Overflow Tank

    I have a 1999 2-door Tahoe with the Vortec 350. I bought it last winter with 57,000 miles and noted oil residue in the coolant. About 2 months after I bought it, I started noticing a bubbling noise coming from the coolant overflow tank after I shut off the truck. I replaced the radiator cap...

    Got a Stick Shift?

    Just curious....who has a manual transmission? What years were the Tahoe's available in a stick? I would trade my 4-speed auto for a manual tranny any day of the week.

    Heated versus non-heated side mirrors

    A few months ago I broke the mirror housing of my passenger side mirror on my 99 2-door Tahoe pulling out of the garage one morning. My truck is absolutely perfect without a scratch and it's bothering me. I went to order a used mirror and they are asking me if it is a heated or non-heated...

    Bad Head Gasket

    So here is the story.... Bought a 1999 Tahoe Z-71 with 52,000 miles. It is a beautiful truck that looks brand new. I have put approximately 7,000 miles on it since I bought it. I did notice that the antifreeze looked quite dirty when I bought it but it drove perfectly and the oil was clean...

    Time To Wax

    It's finally nice here, hopefully the snow is done for the year. I decided to wax my '99 2-door Z-71. Doesn't look too bad for a 20 year-old truck.

    True Dual Exhaust on a 2-Door

    So, I bought a 1999 2-door z-71 Tahoe with 52,000 miles. It is completely stock, doesn't have a scratch on it and basically looks brand new inside and out. I love the truck but would like to have just a little more sound. As you guys are aware, it has dual exhaust with dual cats back to a...

    Hidden Radiator Drain Plug (Petcock)

    Okay....first, I'm not a mechanical idiot. However, I cannot figure out where to drain the coolant on my 1999 2-door Tahoe. I have looked all over the place with a flashlight and cannot find an obvious location. Usually good engineers put these is a pretty obvious and easy-to-locate position...

    Highly Annoying Lack of Torque Braking

    First, I absolutely hate automatic transmissions. They suck for a multitude of reasons, but the primary reason is that it takes away the control of the driver over the drivetrain. One of the best features of manual transmission is torque braking, which applies the resistance of the engine to...

    My Transfer Case Woes

    i just bought my 99' 2 Door Z-71 Tahoe about 1-1/2 months ago. It only has 54,000 miles on it and it is completely stock. I use the 4WD fairly often where I live and drove it to Eldora ski area last weekend during snowstorm. On the way back, I started hearing a horrible bearing noise coming...

    Daylight Running Lights

    I just bought a 1999 2-door Z-71 Tahoe and it has a green light on the dash that is on during the day and it is supposed to indicate that the daylight running lamps are on. However, I do not have any lights on unless I actually turn on the lights. Is that normal or should i have these lights...

I don't need a lot of bells & whistles; just need something that is bluetooth compatible so I can talk on my phone while I drive. Dont' want to...

    Front Axleshafts Don't Disengage in 2WD

    I just bought a 1999 2-door 4WD Z-71 Tahoe. It is all original down to the GM floormats, garaged it entire life and only has 52,000 miles. It is absloutely cherry and drives like a dream. Here's my concern. It came from a part of the U.S. where it probably was never put into 4WD. I have...
