    '03 Tahoe 5.3/4L60/NP246 Swap to 6.0/4L80

    I have an '03 Tahoe with the 5.3 Flex, 4L60E, and NP246 (auto 4wd) transfer case. I have the opportunity to buy a low mileage rusted out truck for parts and I'm wondering how straightforward it would be to swap the drivetrain from the junker into my Tahoe. The donor is an '06 Silverado 2500 HD...

    Coolant Reservoir Level Sensor

    The past couple days I've been getting a low coolant message when I start my '03 Tahoe. The level in the reservoir is good and temp has been normal. Assuming the sensor is going bad. My question is, can the sensor be replaced or is it molded into the reservoir? I searched online for the sensor...

    Looking for tips and product recommendations for polishing the aluminum trim on the lower part of the doors on my 03 Tahoe.

    Grinding/Chattering Noise From Transfer Case

    2003 Tahoe LT, 5.3, 4L60E, NP246. I recently completed a roughly 1500 mile round trip from Connecticut to Tennessee, and back.

    Clicking on passenger side

    03 z71 tahoe parasitic drain

    I have had my tahoe for over 10 years now, and the electrical gremlins are really haunting me. Currently (no pun intended) I have a parasitic drain, and narrowed it down to the info circuit. Interestingly, when I pull the info fuse out, and reinstall, it appears the drain disappears. It also...

    Leveling Kit w/ Shocks

    Planning on getting some keys and spring spacers to level my 2003 tahoe LS 2wd. I have been reading though the forms and keep seeing people talking about Bilstein shocks. This may be a stupid question but do you just need to replace the rear shocks or both front and rear?

    Hey everyone, I have been trying to figure out the best bang-for-buck braking upgrade. I have an 03 z71 Tahoe and I need to replace rotors/calipers/pads/lines, it makes sense to upgrade the front brakes to the better GMT900 setup, especially because it appears to be a simple swap. I'll be...
