    Transmission Dilemma...

    My mechanic stated that the levels were in spec and that neither were high or low. He ran a scanner and said the temps stayed in range after he ran the truck up and down the road. He had no issues with leaks as long as he stayed under 60mph. As soon as he got above 60, it started pushing...

    Transmission Dilemma...

    I have a dilemma that I hope some can help me with. I have a 2005 Tahoe 4x4 LT with 159K on the clock. A couple of weeks ago, I ran into the dreaded transfer case "pump rub" and had the back half of the case replaced with the stronger case. I got the truck back and everything seemed to be...

    Transfer case leaking!

    Mine started leaking last week. Took it in to my local mechanic and they found where it was leaking. Looks like pump rub. It only has 160K miles on it so I wouldn't think the transfer case would need to be rebuilt, just a rear case replacement would probably do it... along with a case saver...

    What's a good year? Or one to avoid?

    I had an 01 Yukon XL we purchased with 70K and drove it to 330K, both my boys learned how to drive in it and we took many trips across the country in it. I then used it as my pickup truck until we sold it to a neighbor who is still using it today. We never replaced the transmission, but did...

    Asking for Opinions

    That's definitely a less expensive option, but I'm not a big fan of Plastidip. I've seen it several times and it just never looks good in my opinion. I have almost talked myself out of going to the black wheels. The more I think about it, I may just go with a ceramic brake pad like MassHoe04...

    Asking for Opinions

    Thanks MassHoe04. They are in great shape, the only thing that bothers me is that they get dark fairly quickly with brake dust. The black rims wouldn't do that so it would look cleaner longer.

    Asking for Opinions

    Here is pic of my rig as it sits today. I'm thinking about getting some newer 18" Trail Boss Edition wheel and tire take offs also pictured. My question is this, do you think that would look good on my truck, and second, do you think I should lift it with a 2" or 3" lift? I've only seen one...

    AC Heat Actuator Blend Doors, 05 Tahoe, SOLVED

    Thanks Mattbta. Yep, I was changing out the incorrect actuator and through some research found out about the one you pictured above. Interestingly enough, I took it to our local shop who works on the Tahoe and they had replaced that actuator last year for the previous owner. He told me that...

    Upper Dash Color

    The paint was beginning to peel off my dash and after watching several Youtube videos on how to pressure wash the paint and repaint, I decided to give it go. Part of the process was trying to find the correct color for the upper part of the dash. My interior color states that its 522 on the...

    AC Heat Actuator Blend Doors, 05 Tahoe, SOLVED

    Great question and something I left out of my detail above Rolexus. Once installed, I disconnected the battery for about 30 minutes (had to run to the store while it was disconnected) then reconnected everything, cranked it up, made sure the A/C control was off and drove around for about 10...

    AC Heat Actuator Blend Doors, 05 Tahoe, SOLVED

    Update. I called the local dealer, gave them the last 8 of my VIN, told them which actuator and they said they had one... $278.00 which is almost a tank of gas today! Anyway, picked it up and it doesn't work. Here is the picture of the one I removed and a picture of the box the new one came...

    Climate Control Panel Buttons

    I purchased a new one from the local auto parts but a couple of things are a miss with those. The biggest issue is that they have LED lights in them that won't dim with the other dash lights so you have this very bright light coming from the center of the dash. Was hoping to refurbish the...

    Climate Control Panel Buttons

    Does anyone know if someone makes a button replacement kit for the Climate Control Panel? I have seen the sticker kits but they look a little cheap and would like to disassemble and replace the buttons with new ones if possible. I did that very thing to the radio and it looks great. Thanks...

    AC Heat Actuator Blend Doors, 05 Tahoe, SOLVED

    I know this is an old thread, but I am going to resurrect it. I took my 05 Tahoe in last year because of the same issue, only reverse. I had both controls for the front AC turned all the way down to 60. Cold air was coming out of the driver side, super hot air out of the passenger side. They...

    Sold the Yukon XL today...

    Its kind of funny to say that they don't make cars like they used to. The GMT800 line of trucks was some of the very best they ever made! I know plenty of new Chevy owners who either love their trucks or hate them because of the inconsistencies in quality and durability. I hate to hear those...

    So true and a low mileage one at that! I'm hoping its going to be around for a long time.

    Sold the Yukon XL today...

    Well, I sold my trusty old 2001 Yukon XL today with 323,000 miles on it. I have owned it since 68000 and it has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. The only major component I had to replace was the transfer case which only started leaking because a bearing beat a hole in it from...

    Windshield Replacement

    Sorry for the delay in following up on the status of my windshield. Safelite sent a guy out to my house who was VERY knowledgeable about the GMT800's. He and I went for a ride and within a mile, he said "Yep, I know what's wrong". He pulled the side trim off of the windshield and add some...

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm taking it back this week for them to look at.

    Windshield Replacement

    I recently had to replace the windshield in my 05 Tahoe and of course I just made an appointment with Safelite where they pulled the broken one out and installed a new one for the tune of $330 bucks. What I didn't realize was that there was going to be a tremendous amount of wind noise that is...
