I have a 99 Tahoe with the stock radio in it (CD/Tape/Tuner). Unfortunately, the CD player seems to be shot, keeps giving me an error message that amounts to the thing is dirty, so it cant read the disc. I've tried cleaning it, and it didnt help. I just dropped a lot on a fuel pump and alternator, so I'm holding off any "optional" expenses for a while (such as a new stereo) Any ideas ?

You may be able to remove the outer housing of the unit and use compressed air to blow everything out good. Then use a TINY amount of lithium grease on the guide "rods" for the reading "eye", then also take a Q-tip and clean the eye itself with alcohol.

See if that helps...
