    Oil Pressure on gauge went High while driving

    Thanks Ron, all stepper motors changed out a couple of years back, gauge cluster just fine. New oil pressure sensor in, all seems OK now... Very common problem it seems, O'rielly tech says 12 sold this year alone in their small town store. Temp gauge problem could very well be caused by oil...

    I thought my rear main was leaking also, but upon removing the inspection port on bottom of bellhousing that proved not be a valid assumption!

    Howdy - 02 Tahoe Z71

    Welcome. Another point you may want to consider. 200,000 miles on mine. Oil pan gasket was leaking and oil pressure had dropped to between 30 to 35 lbs at highway speed just lately (Common Problem). Pulled oil pan to change out the gasket and put a new o-ring on oil pickup tube. No more oil...

    I used halogens from Wal Mart and made mounting brackets for the inside. Hooked up to trailer light lead with an on/off switch in parallel under the dash.

    No, mine's a 2005 Z71 2WD package. Only year they made those. 200,000 miles and still going strong. Preventive maintenance is the key. Roof rack lights were a mod I did using halogen lights I got off Ebay. Hooked them up to the trailer hitch wiring harness with a switch under dash also for...

    You may want to look into the rook rack backup lights. And, I shipped my cluster off to have a Trans Temp gauge put in the left hand blank hole. You cannot see that data any where. $80 I believe, cluster has to have programming to allow the gauge to work. Sender already in the tranny.

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

    Low coolant problem. Run your fingers around the heater core connections on the firewall. That's where my 05 Tahoe was slowly leaking. Replacements for those are readily available ay O'rielly's.

    Did the left rear door this afternoon. Worked out good. Then I find out that these actuators are done by Dorman. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-129091-746-017kt.aspx?year=2005&make=Chevrolet&model=Tahoe&origin=&parttype=Door%2520Lock%2520Actuator%2520Motor&position=Front Available from...

    2005 Tahoe Bleeding brakes question

    Yes, I am well aware of that. That is why I use it and why my GTO still stops on a dime with Hydroboost assist. Works like brand new every time! Took the whole car apart twelve years ago and the brake components didn't even need changing after 28 years.

    2005 Tahoe Bleeding brakes question

    The procedure I used was to evacuate the old master of DOT 3, fill it with denatured alcohol, pressure bled that through all four wheels, then break the whole system down as much as possible and blow out all lines. Rebuilt all calipers, place new master, fill with DOT 5 silicone, pressure bled...

    FINALLY got this brake job done! Four days in the shop! Both rear bleeder screws were rusting shut. No rubber caps were on them, full of rust. Worst part was the two rubber lines at the center of the rear axle took most of one day. Had to work in a two inch tall space above frame cross member...
