03 Tahoe. I recently upgraded the fog lights with LED. Ever since, the driver parking light comes on when put into drive. This is of course when the headlights are in the Auto position. Put the vehicle in park, light goes off. Put in Drive, comes back on. Anyone ever run into this issue? See pic.
O3 Tahoe LT. lifted 6” with 35’s. Whats been bugging me is the e-brake goes all the way to the floor. Barley holds if at all. I replaced the pads and rotors not too long ago. Also replace the e-brake shoes. I’m pretty sure I adjusted them properly. Still the pedal goes to the floor. I’ve read a...
Appreciate all the feedback. I’m in agreement with everyone. A garbage job one the hose and garbage clamps. I’m going to look into the AN setup. I like the stainless braided lines idea from the tranny to the cooler. I’ll report back here soon. Thanks to all!!

03 Tahoe LT- Looking for some advice:
One of the first upgrades is did to my Tahoe, installed the Tru-cool 40k transmission cooler. I live in the Central Valley of California and it gets triple digits here. So I figured the upgrade was worth it. Install was pretty simple. I used the hoses that...
My 03 Tahoe has a leak on the front diff. I just had this re-geared rebuilt about 10 months ago at a shop here in Sacramento. Looks like it’s dripping from the rear where the driveline connects. The work is still under warranty, just wanted to get an opinion here as to why it would leak this...
The 09 will be a replacement vehicle. Currently on jackstands waiting for my new front diff to arrive. Once on the road, will sell my 08. It’s been such a great truck. But needed to upgrade to full crew cab.
09- GMC Sierra 1500. Need a new front diff 3.42. I found one local out of a 2015 Silverado 3.42. Looks exactly the same, but I have read that GM changed the frame on the 2015's and about so maybe it won't bolt up correctly. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
Dan
Update 3/17:
Sorry I forgot to circle back on this. So I tried a different plug several weeks ago and problem solved. Truck has been running strong since, passed smog just fine etc. Meanwhile, i bought a 2009 GMC Sierra with lower miles. Man I love these trucks!!
All: Can’t remember if I already provided an update, but my E-fan install was successful. Pulled my OEM harness out of my 05 Yukon and installed it in my 03 Tahoe. Thanks to all the support here on the thread. Scotty is the E-fan man! I’ve been up and running for several months, tuned, re-geared...
2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71. 115,000 miles . Getting ready to change the oil on my T-case. It has the 4wd auto. Some say it takes the Auto Trak II. Others say Dexeron Vi including the dealer. What say you?
Thanks,
Dan
Yeah I checked out the Zumbrota’s. You can actually order them through Autozone still about $1,500. I may go that route. First try this used one off eBay. I’ll keep you posted. Still waiting for this one to be delivered.
I ordered one off eBay. Says it’s in good working condition. We’ll see. $450. A reman is $1,500 or a full rebuild $2,000. Eventually I’ll regear, so for now I just need something to get me by.
Anyone have success buying a used front diff GU6 off of Car Parts Direct or EBay? I found this one for an Escalade. I assume a GU6 is the same 3.43 for Silverado, Tahoe or Sierra? In other words interchangeable.
Situation: 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. Pulled front diff and after inspection learning...
@petethepug - I did test drive it. And to be honest, it was pretty beat up. I’ve found way nicer Z71’s with 200k in better condition than this one. They wanted $16k. I laughed as I walked out of there. Truck might be worth 5 grand at the most.
Update: First, I want to thank everyone who chimed in here. Unfortunately, this mission was a bust. Went down this afternoon to look at this rig and sad to say it was in pretty bad shape. Massive oil leak underneath and soiled everywhere , shift points felt weird, interior smelled like BO plus...
Nice Pete!! Yeah that e85 is tempting. I may consider a conversion kit, we’ll see. I’m going to tune it anyways so that might be something I investigate.
@swathdiver - Great considerations there. Depends who owned it and what gas they ran in it. Kind of a guess at this point. Ima test drive it this weekend and she how she runs. Regarding the use, it will mainly be a truck to put around in. I live in the north east hills of California. We get...
All,
Thanks for the thoughts. I’m not so concerned with fuel mileage etc. it’s a truck and I don’t expect it to do great. But good to know there’s options! I will explore this more…
