    Road Noise

    Buy one set of new hub bolts. On the first hub, back the old bolts out about a half inch or so. You can beat on the heads of those old bolts with a 3 lb. hammer and the hub will pop right out for you. No torch needed (usually). If you have to do the other side too, remove all three of the...

    Popping from front end? Tried everything..

    In the US... Unless you own one on your property or have a friend with one, there are not that many wooden bridges to be found where you could just park on it, strap it down and mess with your truck for a while. I could picture: Even if we could find a wooden bridge to strap the front end on...

    AC Delco plug wires date coded?

    I have adopted that theory as well. I have enough things to do, just with fixing stuff that actually does break. Other philosophy is: They don't make things the way they used to... There is no guarantee that new (even GM/AC Delco) is better made now than they were originally 18+ years ago...

    Will 20" work on Tahoe

    It may have been 245/70 R16 and 265/70 R17... I recall there was my size and the smaller (non-Z71) size. It didn't look like there was an "other" option to punch anything in like 33 or 35. I could be wrong. Happens plenty.

    Will 20" work on Tahoe

    That is a nice set from the 2018! When I was last poking around in the Tech 2 menus, I saw the option to change the tire size from the 265/70 R16 to the 265/70 R17. I don't recall seeing options that let you pick other sizes on the Tech 2. Seemed like you could change it from the smaller to the...

    CEL light comes on when I travel and use different gas?

    Hmmm... So, in the recent past you had a P0300 after a flashing CEL popped up that stayed on for a bit. Misfire could be attributed to not enough fuel or fuel not being combusted. Fuel delivery could be injector issue spraying too much or too little. Could also be fuel pump not sending with...

    Lasted 1-1/2 years. But really, AGAIN?

    I bought a windshield washer sensor. Genuine GM. Came from Ebay seller: Original Auto Parts Xpress Shipped fast and the part came in original GM packaging. It fit and worked as expected. Figured I would throw that one out there, in case any of you need a backup source for genuine GM parts on...

    What Oil To Use in My 6.0 Denali

    I usually run whatever is recommended in the manual by the manufacturer, unless there is some specific reason to do otherwise. So for as long as my 04 valves and lifters are happy, I'll keep using 5W30 synthetic (Pennzoil, M1, Castrol... whatever is on sale). If the engine is good on that...

    How much power will my truck make after these mods?

    I would really love to do any or all of the above-mentioned performance mods! Then, back to reality for me. I think of having to do things like front CV axles and whatever else might come up that is needed to keep it on the road. The thought of spending thousands for performance mods on a...

    Will 20" work on Tahoe

    I have no idea what the requirements might be for +/- on wheel offset, but I bought mine with 20" Torque Thrust wheels already on it. The tires were pretty low profile, though... They were 285/50 R20 Yokohama Parada all-season sport treads. The fit in the wheel wells with no lift. Tough to...

    2005 chevy tahoe

    I used wire snips like these: To cut the black bands that retain the snap-on piece inside the connector. I snipped where the yellow lines were and snapped out the bit marked with the red X, did the same on the opposite side. Black part of the T comes right off. Then, you can slip the white...

    02 Tahoe mode door issues

    when I got my Tech 2 clone from Chinacardiags.com, it was just about $300 shipped. That was a fair price, but I see they have come down a bit more. Even better! Things to consider in the decision: Keeping any GM vehicle from this vintage, a Tech 2 is worth way more than $300. While good...

    2005 chevy tahoe

    With basic tools, it was not hard to do the repair on the road... I replaced a heater hose T in the parking lot of my barbershop one town away from home. Screwdriver, pliers, snips and hammer were all I needed besides the new T and coolant... New T had the snap connector on it, so there was no...

    Best radio I've ever had

    Thanks! I like the look too! PO had decals applied and they didn't seem to cheap-out on anything, so there are no bubbles or wrinkles. I do have to pop the cluster to set needles to the correct resting position. They are all off a little before start-up, so speed is off by like 5-7 MPH, fuel and...

    AC blower issues, need help

    While you were in there, did everything look like it was all in place? Sounds like a problem with a blend door or blend door actuator. From what you describe, it is almost like the door is stuck closed or the actuator that opens the door is not doing its thing.

    2005 chevy tahoe

    What do you mean? Inside the cabin, at the tail pipe, under the hood after warmup? Any drips, puddles on driveway or anything looking wet inside the engine bay? Any wetness on the carpet under the dash? These are all questions that will help clarify what we might be looking at here... Could...

    need a new hood hard to find, need suggestions? 04 tahoe

    There are usually a few part-out vehicles on Craigslist or FB Marketplace almost anytime I have looked. Depending in your area, but I bet there is one your color somewhere not to far away that you could get fairly reasonable. I have a white 04 Tahoe Z71. A quick look in my area on Craigslist...

    Ok, what is this?

    when I checked to see if I could activate OnStar on my 04, best I could tell... OnStar was no longer supported for my model year any longer. There was a change in satellite frequencies or some other technology shift preventing communications. I could not activate anything other than Sirius XM...

    3 minor issues I'm hoping you can help with.

    More likely your coolant loss is that fitting. It is constantly circulating whether heat is on or not. Aside from the coil pack from being wet, the fitting was likely spitting out while you were on the road. The line you see there with the arrow would be carrying transmission fluid to the...

    TBC fuse parasitic draw

    A few other GM truck forums had people looking at ignition switch as possible source. They described a 0.8 draw on the TBC fuse while this was happening. https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/2000-nbs-tahoe-dies-overnight-narrowed-down-to-tbc-fuse.277618/ Our resident electrical experts can help...

    3 minor issues I'm hoping you can help with.

    On the oil pressure... Do you have a scan tool that will show live data for oil pressure? You could see if the pressure sensor is reading correct and confirm the cluster gauge is showing the data correctly or not. On the smell... Have you determined whether the coil pack is wet with oil or...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Had a few minutes to kill before work, so sipped some coffee and hey... Why not check fuel trims for giggles? (I always have this Zurich scanner in the console.) For 208k miles... Runs great! ST ranges between 1.6 max and -0.8 on both banks. LT is holding 6.3 on Bank 1 and 3.9 on Bank 2.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Another idea, if you are mounting on one of the locations where you can drill a hole... If the lights aren't too heavy, you might be able to use a body panel fastener clips if you find something the right size. Probably easier and more secure with screws or screws into threaded riv-nuts.

    Got to use the Tahoe as an "ambulance "

    Beautiful hawk - those eyes! Red Tail? We are lucky in Western Mass. to have a retired EPO start a rehabilitation center for injured birds of prey. He is busier now, than ever before! No shortage of bird strikes on the roads up here... Those centers do a lot of great work getting birds back in...
