I have an 05 Z71 and I love it for it's power, towing capability, ride, handling and it seats 7 comfortably... well 6 anyways. I hate it because it's "new" and therefore has things like a Body Control Computer and a system "BUS."

Recently my heated seat came alive and started turning itself on and off - I have a video. I thought I could simply pull a fuse to stop it from cooking me this summer but when I pulled the only fuse I found which mentioned heated seats "Ignition3 / Heated Seats" nothing happened. The switch still randomly blinked through it's lights and the seat still got hot. Then I took off the door panel and unplugged the switch. Now I couldn't see when the seat was on but I sure could feel it. I took the panel off again, plugged the switch back in, put it all back together and... the power door lock stopped working. Not all of them, just in the driver's door where I was working. And now when I open that door, the computer doesn't know it. The interior lights don't come on and the radio doesn't turn off.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ides on what the problem might be? I tried leaving the battery disconnected for 5 minutes, but that didn't help.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tom

When I start driving from a stop or at slow speed, my "traction active" comes up on the odometer display and will barely go no matter how much I press the gas pedal. It will eventually turn off and go as normal or if I immediately hit the brake it will turn off and it will go. I turned of the stability control button and I haven't noticed anything when I do that. Is the problem some type of sensor?

I have a 2001 4.8L V8 with 192,000 miles. It still runs great. I decided to fully refurbish it myself as a hobby vehicle. Upon removing the spark plugs I found number three had been force in at a small angle downward and to the front. I am not able to put a socket on it (5/8). The last change out was at the dealer at about 95,000 miles. My question is if I should remove number 3 spark plug would I be then looking to replace the cylinder head? I don't want to do that.
Is there a less intensive fix that a shop can perform? I am now very reluctant to take it to the dealer.

Thanks

Can anyone point me to detailed instructions for taking the dash off to get at the evaporator?

And instructions on getting to the rear evaporator as well?

(I have a freon leak and after much forensics, dye, replcing compressor, etc., everything under the hood is good and free of leaks. Its somewhere in the cabin.)

The Haynes/Chilton's manuals have nothing.

thank you much in advance

Hi All,

New member and first post. I own a 2007 Tahoe and I just replaced the wheel bearing hub assembly on the right front. The Tahoe was making a noise and shuttering when breaking before the fix and now it seems to be gone.

There is one huge issue now post fix... the breaks don't work!!!! I didn't touch the break system (only to replace the abs cable that came with the wheel bearing). Now sure what happened and I'm confused now.

We did bleed the breaks and still have a problem. not sure what to do.

Thanks for your help,
Bryan

my 99' tahoe 2door 4wd is clicking when im driving and the rpms go over 1500. any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi,
My europeanized Tahoe is equipped with front and rear fog lights.
Actually, I have 2 big round switches similar to this stuff:
http://i.ebayimg.com/22/!B1leMtQ!2k~$(KGrHqV,!h0E)q2-qTm)BMfC4(u9HQ~~0_1.JPG?set_id=8800005007

They are located into the small squared location under the right driver vent.
I'd like to relocate both, on only one location instead of two, so I will have one free.
I'm thinking of using smaller switches like thoses one : http://www.allproducts.com/ee/jieton...81502837-l.jpg
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3097458

I also need a part without any cut-out holes so I can cut my own holes, related to the switches I'll have. Where can I find this?

Ok, I will attempt to make this short. In short, I have a 1999 4x4 Tahoe. Factory wheels, and Uniroyal Laredo Cross Country tires, size P265/75R-16.
When I originally got the tires, 4 years and 52,000 miles ago it did the same thing its doing now...which I had a slight vibration in a tire a couple weeks ago, took it to my very reliable tire store, Simon Tire in Des Moines Iowa... wont let anyone else handle my tires for my vehicles... anyway, I got 2 new rear tires under warranty.. pro-rated.. but still cheaper than new, being that new ones are $183/each and that doesnt include mounting, balancing etc.. anywho, the problem that I am having is, its tramlining.. for those who dont know, it is wanting to follow the groves in the road, makes it kind of feel like you are on marbles at times. It did this before when all 4 were new. The fronts have 7-8/32 tread left, or 50%, so EXCELLENT wear on these tires, and the tramlining went away over time, forgot all about it until I got these 2 warrantied new tires and now its tramlining again. Does anyone have any idea why the heck it would do this? The original tire size was 235 instead of 265 I believe, but that shouldnt matter I dont think. Alignment was done at the same time I got the new tires, air pressure is 36psi, steering is tight, new pitman arm at same time as alignment, all suspension components seem to be fine, I think I put new shocks on a couple years ago, I dont understand. Any ideas??

Well I bought my Tahoe a few months ago.. It was used and my wife test drove it and not me.. Big mistake.. The following day I got into the truck and saw that the check engine light was on...

So I started guessing on what things needed to be fixed.. First thing there was NO intake on the truck as all.. So I bought an OEM intake and then bought a K&N air filter from K&N.. That still didnt work. I tried tricking the system by turning the light off and then driving it around and then testing it before the light would come back on.. That didnt work.

Well to make a long story short it ended up needing the Smog/Air Pump.. The truck now passes with flying colors.. The smog tech was actually suprised on how good the emisions test was on the truck..

Hello Everyone!

My name is Bill and I am with Cold Air Inductions Inc., we are a Cold Air Intake manufacturer based out of Michigan. First off let me just say that Cold Air Inductions Inc. is really excited to have become a supporting sponsor of this forum, and we really look forward to becoming a part of this community! Personally, I drive a Sierra 2500HD, come from a multi generation GM family, and have always been a "Truck Guy" since I first got my license, so I think that I will have a great time getting to know many of you!

Anytime there is a "new guy on the block" (especially a new vendor) on these forums, I understand that people can sometimes be a little skeptical as to what our intents are. For that reason, I would like to use this thread to just tell you a little more about how the company started, what we are about, and where we are at now. Sorry if it seems a little long winded, but I know that some people really like to know this sort of stuff, and we want to make sure that our customers know as much about us and our products as possible, so here goes:

Like many great companies, Cold Air inductions (more commonly known as CAI Inc.) started from a passion and hobby…

The president of CAI Inc., James Newsome, is an auto enthusiast who has built several drag & show cars. With years of experience employed by General Motors and a life filled with designing and wrenching, James had the knowledge and skills needed to do all the engineering and fabricating for his own projects. While building one of his N/A race vehicles, James decided he wanted an air intake for his vehicle that would stand above everyone else’s, not only in concern to performance, but also in appearance. He didn't want to use the same old heat absorbing plastic system that sucked in all the hot air from the engine bay, he wanted a system designed to live up to its name and be a true cold air intake system. Unfortunately a company did not exist who built a system to James higher standards of quality and design, so he set out to build his own cold air intake.

Little did he know, what started as just a project was going to lead him into something much, much larger. After endless research and design, prototyping, and testing, James had a cold air intake for his vehicle that was maximizing his vehicles performance, and was getting a lot of attention when the hood was popped. A friend would see it and want one built for his vehicle, people at the drag strip would see it and want one for their vehicle, and the requests kept coming, thus Cold Air Inductions Inc. was born.

CAI Inc. was officially formed in 2004, and James started engineering and manufacturing Cold Air Intakes for the public. But he did not stop with just designing a whole new approach the air box, which is an enclosed and insulated design, with a removable lid that has a viewing window for easy filter inspection. Nor did he stop with ceramic coating his intake tubes to prevent heat soak, which no other company in the market does. He then went on to create his own design of high performance air filters, which have features way above and beyond what is considered to be “industry standard”.
If you want to take a look inside of one of our air filters then check out this video!

Years later from its humble beginnings in a garage, CAI Inc. has a large team of dedicated employees, sells thousands of systems every year, has an extensive dealer network thougout the U.S & Canada, and utilizes some of the best technology, equipment, and Quality Control practices in its new manufacturing facility, which has its' own engineering lab for design & development. Sticking to its roots, CAI Inc. still implements the same research and design, prototyping, and rigorous testing for each unit that is manufactured as if it were going on our own vehicles. All the Dyno tests we do are with the hood closed, and gains reported are to the wheels, to simulate real driving conditions as much as possible. By keeping our quality standards high, constantly improving product development, and treating our customers like we would want to be treated, CAI Inc. has become a leader in the aftermarket performance industry for cold air intake systems. And not just consumers are taking notice that our products are constantly outperforming the competition, CAI Inc. is now in development for multiple cold air intake designs for the GM Performance Parts Division, has been featured in multiple magazine articles, and our new GM Truck/SUV system was recently on Speed Channels TruckU!

Hopefully that gives you a clearer understanding of where we came from, what we are about, and what we have to offer. Again, we are really excited to have joined your community here, and look forward to serving you for all of your cold air intake needs!!

Thanks!!
