    Instrument cluster gauges pegging out/dying

    My instrument cluster is acting up: One day, the oil pressure gauge died and came back later. Another day, the fuel gauge died, came back the next day. A couple days later, the voltmeter pegged out while the oil pressure gauge died again. I know for sure it's not "real", but is this a...

    Does anyone know if 285/65R18 tires on wheels with +20 mm offset will fit a Tahoe with stock (non-Autoride) suspension without rubbing?

    AC Compressor Running with Heat?

    Most cars with climate control run the compressor all the time (except when it's really cold, to prevent evaporator ice-up) to de-moist the air.. :)

    Oil pressure gauge died - gauge or sender?

    My oil pressure gauge died the other day. Now just not moving at all. What's the most common fault, gauge itself or sender? Where's the sender located? '04 Tahoe 5.3 4WD.. :)

    Exhaust system without droning

    I have to replace the stock system on my car. Thinking about maybe going aftermarket to improve the sound a little, but I'm allergic to highway droning. What exhaust system will have no droning/noise keeping a steady speed uphill and downhill on the highway, but make a nice, deep sound when...

    E85 tune available for LM7 engine?

    My vehicle is not flex-fuel, as no export models were. Plain LM7. I was just wondering, as I can install a piggyback conversion kit between the injectors and wiring harness, but with so many tunes available for these engines, I was thinking maybe there was a tune for running E85 on non-flexfuel...

    E85 tune available for LM7 engine?

    Is there an E85 tune available for the LM7 engine? All export model Tahoes are LM7 engined, but I'd love to be able to use only E85, as it's a lot cheaper here compared to gasoline which is at $10/gallon..

    ABS activating just before stop

    My ABS has started activating just before coming to a stop. I remember this from other cars as a sensor/rotor issue, when the signal is wrong. Is there anything well-known on this platform cars that will cause this?

    Radio almost dead - won't turn on..

    My radio will not turn on. It's all dark, but when I push the power button, the light in the buttons come on and go back out. If I push the "load cd", the display comes on as well, but it all goes out after a couple seconds. The warning chime with door open and key in the ignition works. Fuses...

    Sporadical ticking noise from right cylinder head

    With warm (operating temperature) engine, I sometimes hear a pretty loud, but light ticking noise from the right side cylinder head. Sounds almost like a lifter tick, but the lifters aren't up there in the head on these engines. What could it be?

    Drivers seat motor just spinning, seat not moving

    The motor driving the rear height adjustment on my driver's seat is not working. The motor is running, but the seat does not move. Is this a known problem with an easy/cheap remedy? :)

    Replace front middle seat with center console

    Swap done. The middle seat turned out to be some locally made thing, not original. Was bolted to the passenger seat and had a rail installed in the floor as well. Now I have the center console back in - and it looks and feels SO much better. :)

    Differential fluid change w/ G80 + oil capacity

    Yeah, I just went to the dealership and asked for one, and got it. Think it was about $20here in Europe, probably way cheaper in the US. Was told to use a little RTV in addition to the gasket itself.

    Differential fluid change w/ G80 + oil capacity

    Mission complete! After 110k miles.. Transfer case: Oil was dark, but not too bad. Refilled with the blue GM stuff. Front differential: Oil was kinda milky, obviously some water had gotten in some time. Refilled with Mobil 1 75W-90. Rear differential: Oil was brown-grayish. Replaced that bolt...

    17x9 ET -12 possible?

    Picked up the wheels today, pulled off the tires (which I already sold for only $40 less than I paid for the complete set..) and test fitted the rims on my car. In the rear: No problem at all. In the front: Really "on the edge", but I think it will work. I will be running 265/70R17 tires...

    17x9 ET -12 possible?

    Thanks, seems like I just have to pick them up and try - if they won't work, I can always sell them to someone else. :P I only have 16" wheels on my car, but thinking about doing the GMT900 brake upgrade, and finding larger wheels except 22" are very hard here in Norway..

    AUX-in on '04 Bose head unit?

    Thanks, ended up buying the iSimple box, now I have Bluetooth, line-in and USB just like a "new" car. Works like a charm! :)

    17x9 ET -12 possible?

    I got an offer for some 17" rims. They are 9" wide, 17" diameter, so far so good, but with an offset of -12. Will those fit, or will they stick outside the fenders? My car is stock having only the factory fitted plastic fender flares.

    2005 Yukon Denali Fuel Pump and Filter Question

    IIRC, the LM7-engined (non-flexfuel) have the filter on the frame rail while the L59-engined (flexfuel) do not. The LM7 uses a returnless system with remote regulator (only one line running to the engine fuel rails) while the L59 uses a regular return-line system with pressure regulator on the...

    Differential fluid change w/ G80 + oil capacity

    I want to change the differential fluid front and rear on my '04 Tahoe w/ RPO G80, and I've understood the locking rear makes for certain types of oil. The Castrol Europe webpage states the oil "SYNTRAX LIMITED SLIP 75W-140" as the correct one. Can anyone confirm that this oil can be used...

    Left front door speaker dead (Bose)

    The left front door speaker in my car is dead. All other speakers, including the front tweeters on the A-pillar are working. What should I start out by checking? The car is equipped with the Bose system and rear seat controls.

    Replace front middle seat with center console

    The previous owner of my Tahoe had the center console replaced with that tiny middle seat because he needed the additional seat. I don't need it, and I find the car looks a lot better and it's more practical with the center console. I got the console and all loose parts with the car, so I have...

    AUX-in on '04 Bose head unit?

    Yeah, but it states "Can only be used in vehicles equipped with a factory slave unit (external CD player, XM tuner or external single CD player)." I don't have any external units in my car - as I have the in-dash CD changer and no XM radio.. Anyone know what to do to make it work then?

    AUX-in on '04 Bose head unit?

    Is it possible to wire up some sort of AUX-in to the Bose/6-disc head unit? Just something that terminates in 2xRCA or 3,5 mm jack to connect my phone to play music.. ---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ---------- And, yeah, export model, so no XM, Onstar...
