    Please help!!

    Are you seeing signs externally that it is overheating like steam or whatever? As another posted indicated, maybe a temp sensor?

    My “new” 05 - updates, upgrades and service plans

    Like MO Vietvet said, evap system will give you fits. I had my mechanic replace the entire system after screwing around with it and that includes the GM wiring harness that goes with it. Problem solved.

    Seat belt retractor grabs

    The seat belt retractor - tensioner is built into the seat back on my 2003 Tahoe and others models I guess. The belt can be pulled out before the latch is set into the floor anchor part but then it grabs and one can not move. Anyone run into this and what was the fix? Or does this mean a new...

    Automatic Transmission - slight surge from 1st to 2nd

    My 2003 same everything has done that for at least 3 years. The Tahoe has 212K miles. The transmission shop did not see anything out of the norm when replacing fluid and filter but went ahead and replaced the 1-2 shift solenoid with a Corvette part number with small improvement. I did notice...

    Radio is cold sensitive

    Last year the radio would quit sending to the speakers on my 2003 factory radio on my 2003 Tahoe LT. After the temp got to a certain point, BAM there goes the sound. I learned to keep the radio off to keep from wrecking the Tahoe until I was reasonable sure it would work. I am in the south...

    TPMS Wrong Reading

    My wife gets a report I guess from "the car" on TP variances. I hate it when it gets really cold and the TP falls below the threshhold. Anyway, my old gauges are not accurate enough. So, I have learned to bring up the car display on the instrument panel and adjust tire pressure until I get it...

    Help diagnosing two issues 1) misfiring/stumbling 2) coolant loss

    I agree about the MAF. My 2003 Tahoe same engine had a random idle miss, acted like a bad wire or plug etc and then would not crank but then did, etc. Gave random codes that cleared. It had done that for 5 years that I had owned the vehicle. Cleaning did not help. Finally my shop said...

    ABS issue...

    I vote for this one. I have seen some mighty strange codes and events when battery got flaky. Got to where I just change them every 3 years or so and make sure all connections are super clean.

    2000-2006 piston slap ? 5.3L

    My 2003 Tahoe has 203K on the clock. Does not burn a drop of oil between changes. I use what ever is on sale at Walmart when they do the change. I change it either 6 months or 3000-3500 miles depending on how much driven. It has a minor tick when started in cold weather but that goes away...

    Weird shift issue

    I can add that my 03 Tahoe idled for a longest time like it had a bad plug or wire etc and one day the engine would not start and stay running. It finally did start and I went straight to the shop I do business with. They replaced the Mass Airflow Sensor and that truck runs like a new one now...

    Brake pedal feel low

    Last year the master cylinder was replaced by a shop and a power flush run. More recently the brake pedal has felt low. The pedal cluster is all the way up. I took it to a brake shop and they pulled wheels, miked the rotors, looked at everything and said they could not find anything wrong...

    2003 Inherited Green Suburban

    Did you check the child safety switch on the driver side door in the group where the other switches are located. I believe that will lock out the windows not working.

    How many miles have your Tahoe put down in the road?

    My 2003 just turned to 200000 this week. It was cool watching the odometer flash from 199999 to 200000. The old girl runs great, gets around 17 mpg and burns nor leaks any oil.

    Coming off lease- what would you do?

    You have the possibility of extending the lease as well. I did that on a couple of vehicles that were low miles.

    Want a Chevy Tahoe

    These vehicles have a lot of markup and depreciation. So, it is cost of vehicle, insurance, financing. Divided on how long you plan to keep it. I am a low risk person and with these electronics they put on them now, I add vehicle warranty extension into the equation if not new. The main...

    Interior (In-Cab) Air Filter

    I took the cover off of my 2003 Tahoe and it is all solid and not like the youtube I saw where you could remove a cover and pull out two.
