    Continued front axle trouble

    I had a post here a while back (like fall of 2022) about some trouble I was having doing some reassembly on my front axle after changing a shaft seal and needle bearing that mates to the drivers side CV shaft. Through some issues I ended up having to pretty much disassemble the entire thing...

    Exterior door handle - it don't work.

    I went to leave for work this morning and my drivers door was a bit froze shut (was 9F here). I had to tug the handle a couple times but then something inside the door broke so now the handle is not functional. The inside handle still works though. I was messing around with it after I got...

    Strange vibration

    I've got a vibration when driving that I haven't been able to figure out yet. It doesn't occur until I reach 65 mph. My first thought is u-joints but they've been tight whenever I check them. But from looking at them I can't tell if they've been changed recently. I do have some radial play...

    Goofy electrical problem

    Was cleaning up frame grounds in effort to troubleshoot another issue but now seems like I have a whole new issue. When I start the engine I have the following symptoms now: -ABS and parking brake indicators turn on when driving in reverse but turn off when driving forward -pass lock light...

    Radio initializing message

    Figured I'd share this since I really didn't find much info on the subject. Earlier this week my radio (it's the stock system) just stopped working one morning and wouldn't turn on. It would just display "Initializing" on the screen sometimes and wouldn't turn on. I only found one forum...

    Engine dies - but why?

    Researching this myself but figured I'd see what the brain trust had to say. Has anyone had an issue where the engine just randomly dies? I've had this twice now this week. Monday I was driving through a parking lot at idle and the engine just died for no reason that I could tell. It started...

    Mod planning

    Alright, help me chart a path here guys. A little background. Yesterday after work I was crawling around under my hood looking for an oil leak since my engine has been kinda slobbering on itself and seemingly dripping a bit onto the exhaust (thinking valve cover gaskets right now). I noticed...

    Air box question

    I noticed the other day that my air box lid has a broken tab for one of the screws. I'm not sure what the assembly code is for it but its not the high capacity K47 option. I called a couple local salvage yards seeing if they would have one and no one did. But one place did have the K47...

    Trailer light plug mounting

    So I'm needing to change out my trailer light plug and also need to find a home for it because the mounting bracket has rusted away. Has anyone else mounted theirs in the bumper like this? Anyone done anything different? I'm not really a fan of the mounting bracket that would locate the plug...

    Salvage yard trouble/Arm rests

    Question for the masses. Wondering if I have much of a leg to stand on just move on. I'll try to explain this the best I can. I had been searching for replacement arm rests for my rear passenger doors because several mount points are broken off. I have pieces that I could try gluing them...

    High side AC port issue

    I went to to troubleshoot why my AC doesn't seem to function right and when I pulled off the dust cap for the high side port the refrigerant leaked out. So I picked up a repair kit this afternoon that has a new port and valve cores but I can't get the old port off the line. I have a vacuum...

    Tail light junction box - upgrades?

    My passenger side tail light, brake light and reverse light aren't working. What I've found so far is that it seems to be caused by the junction box for the rear tail lights because I've got at least one broken wire there and possibly others that need to be repaired. Some looks like could have...

    Noisy interior

    What do you guys do about various rattle noises from the interior as you're driving?

    Interior console trouble

    This is related to my other sunroof post, but I think its different enough to warrant its own thread and didn't want to muddy water there with other things. Can anyone tell me if a sunroof was a standard option a 03 Tahoe LT? My understanding is that it was. The reason I ask is that while we...

    Some sunroof questions

    I was working on putting my interior back together yesterday after my headliner being out for a while and noticing some oddities with the sunroof. When I close the window it stops moving before its completely closed but if I bump the switch a couple times it will close the rest of the way...

    Power seat controls

    Was trying figure out what's up with the seat controls for the drivers seat, specifically to move the seat forward and back. The switch operates backwards (like pushing the switch forward moves the seat back) and the seat will only move about an inch at a time. Someone has been messing around...

    Headliner work

    I started pulling my headliner a few weeks ago so I can get new fabric put on and finished getting it out yesterday. Now I'm just getting it cleaned up so I can have someone put new fabric on. When I was moving it around to get it cleaned and I ended up breaking the foam core around the area...

    Rear seat cable

    My Tahoe only has 2 row seating and the cable for folding down the rear seat on the drivers side is broken. I found 2 part numbers, both of which are no longer available (12478303 and 88941497). Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

    Weird current draw

    Has anyone ever experienced a parasitic draw that would alternate between .7 and 3.4 amps? I thought I was having connection issues with my meter, but even once I had solid connections the draw would still change. It seemed to change about every 20 seconds or so. I don't know if I'm dealing...

    Headliner removal

    My headliner has sagging fabric so I was figuring remove it so I can put on fresh adhesive. I was watching a video about how it comes out and the process seems a bit daunting. Do dash panels really need to come out? I worry that with the old plastic something is bound to break.

    Brake line upgrading question

    I'm replacing the factory brake caliper hoses with Russell braided stainless steel lines. I've got all the lines changed except for the passenger front. This one won't thread onto the nut on the hardliners for some reason. The old one goes on fine though. Anyone have thoughts on this? I'm...

    Inner axle shaft fixin

    So I had the leak on the my drivers front inner axle shaft to be fixed. When the CV shaft was bolted up to it the shaft did have a bit of radial play so I was thinking the bearing may have needed replacing too. I have the shaft out but can't see how to get the bearing out. Where would the play...

    Replacement sunroof shade

    I picked up an 03 Tahoe last month and have been slowly working some issues with it to make it road worthy. I do need to change the sunroof shade because the previous owners let this one get to what I believe is beyond repair. All that's left is a piece of metal. Where can I get a...
