This year I was returning from Missouri to Kansas and ran into flooded highways . I contacted Onstar and told the them of the problem. They kept routing me down dirt roads bringing me back to the same hiway that was flooded. . My garmin brought me home...dropped Onstar the next day.
I'm wanting to do the same thing with finding something close to oem height/ride. My 08 Tahoe has 118k miles on it with the Z55 option. The local stealer wants $1160 for just the front struts. On 1Aauto or Rockauto there are complete assemblies (spring and shock ready to install ) for anywhere...
Also while driving. It started the Saturday before Christmas and the local shop I went to was closing early but said he didn't want me leaving on the chance of causing more damage. After he got the starter off you could hear there was something loose in it. He thought the pinion would slide out...
I had an intermittent clank on my 08 just this winter. My mechanic put on a lift and checked everything that could possibly be loose and found nothing. he then started it while on the rack and thought it was coming from the starter. Sure enough after pulling the starter he saw the pinion gear...
Mine was doing the same thing...after starting the first time it would be fine the rest of the day. Next morning the same problem. I was told by a mechanic friend to clean my MAF sensor and while I was at it clean the throttle body. He told me to make sure to get the correct cleaners for both...
Does the hatch button on the remote have a glitch? Take the battery out of the remote you use most to eliminate that remote. If that doesn't solve the problem try the other remote . Just something to try.
I was having the same problem on my 08 when the cold weather came in. I cleaned the MAS and cleaned the throttle body and the cold weather starting problem stopped immediately. Starts and runs like it's brand new and it has 116k miles.
I would like to see pics because I'm wondering why a body shop would say it may not look right. You might want to see what another body shop has to say. Just my opinion.
If you buy new sensors check ebay or Amazon . The dealers charge up to $100 each and that doesn't include installation. I had one retire on me and found one on ebay for $20.00....went to a corner tire shop and he installed it for ten bucks.
I saw these on silver Tahoe/Yukon in another post and really liked the slim look ....otherwise I probably would not have put any on. They went on very easy...probably took ten minutes and that includes the cleaning prep. Found them on EBAY for $58.00. A local truck speciality shop here had them...
I'm right there with ya on the detailing Danny. I once had a neighbor tell me that almost every family picture they took I was in the background shining a vehicle...LOL
I once had a problem of truck shaking at a certain speed and would quit when I got past that speed....turned out to be a tire with a broken/defective belt. New replacement tire fixed it. They found it when I took it in to balence them and that tire would take a ton of weights.
I just put the SLP tip/resonator delete kit on my Tahoe. The difference in sound is barely noticeable and that's just because I'm listening for the difference. If I wasn't trying to hear it you'd never know the change.
If you just bought it and tpms light is on...did they install/rotate the tires and if so maybe the sensors just need reset. I'd get that fixed then try the remote start.
I don't have the new Tahoe ...yet....but have put the abs chrome grills on my other Tahoes and never had any problems at all. Really changed the personality of the front.
I just thought I'd suggest that because when I bought my 08 I swear the previous owners never opened the hatch...ever. There was so much dirt and road grime there you wouldn't believe it. LOL
