    2004 Tahoe fuel issues.

    I swapped my pump in about 2 hours. That's minus the 3 hours to pump the tank out with the small pump I borrowed! I backed the rear onto some ramps and lowered just the backside of the tank. It was a little tight but I got it replaced. If I could have raised it about 6inches higher it would have...

    2004 Tahoe fuel issues.

    I can swap it out. I'm driving it now. Since it has set and cooled for a couple of hours, it is running better. It has 270,000 on it. I believe I got the best of it!

    2004 Tahoe fuel issues.

    My wife's Tahoe has shutoff several times on her. I was driving it today when it happened. It acts like its out of fuel. The fuel pump relay was extremely hot. I swapped it with a similar one and got it cranked. 20 miles later same thing. This time it tried to idle around 100 rpm and sputtered...

    Battery drain & 1/4 tank-no start problem

    Thanks, $200 seems like a good price. Does anybody know if you can just repair the cluster you have? or what part actually causes it to pull the battery down?

    Battery drain & 1/4 tank-no start problem

    I'm leaving the fuse out overnight to see if it will stay charged. As for the fuel tank, I will try and drop it next weekend. Anybody got any pointers on dropping the tank. Also is the sending unit repairable or do I need to plan on replacing it.

    Heater/AC problems

    I've been having a problem with the temperature control sticking. Sometimes the driverside will be blowing cold air with the heat turned on and then the passenger side will blow heat with the AC turned on. The rear air doesn't get hot at all. Is there a door or something that could be sticking...

    2004 With Low Oil Pressure

    Just got back from the dealer. They agreed to fix the low oil problem even though it was sold "as-is". Funny thing though, as I was pulling it up onto my trailer the oil pressure jumped from 0 to 30. I didn't let it run long enough to see if it would drop again. When I unloaded it the gauge...

They may not being it was...

    2004 With Low Oil Pressure

    Hi guys, I just bought a 2004 Tahoe, 5.7L, with 192,000 miles. The fluid and filters have been changed every 2-3 months since new. Everything was working fine until tonight. Got in and started it and the screen on the dash read LOW OIL PRESSURE. The gauge read about 10-15 at idle and dropped to...
