    Just got back the Z71... after two weeks

    I finally got my Tahoe back after two weeks of being at the stealership. Its an 08 with around 70k miles on her. I had it towed in because I was getting ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, LOW OIL PRESSURE, and SERVICE BRAKES SOON on a trip from New Orleans to Atlanta. When they opened it up there was...

    First Big Problems

    I made a trip from New Orleans to Atlanta today my Z71 and the whole way I was thinking it felt a little sluggish but I didn't give it much thought until I got 30 minutes from home on 285. First I got ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED so I pulled over on the shoulder and restarted it without a light. Five...

    What is a "Corporate Fleet" Vehicle?

    My Z71 is already loaded down with miles and I'm looking at trading it for a 2009 Yukon SLT with 19k. That's pretty high mileage for a 2009 and it's labeled on Carfax as a "Corporate Fleet" but the price is right. What would be considered a corp fleet vehicle?

    Fender Bender, Driving Me Crazy

    I drove my '04 Tahoe to a party last night, had to park in a circle driveway and the cars were packed in pretty tight. We left around 2, so most people had already left. I walked out to put my truck in the garage this morning and saw somebody hit the side of it last night and of course didn't...

    Is it worth the switch to synthetic?

    I've been debating whether or not to switch my Tahoes over to mobil 1synthetic from dino oil. I need to get the oil changed in both this week so this would be as good a time as any to go ahead and do it. My only concern is that the Z71 has 22k on it and my LT has 37k on it. Is that too late in...

    Anybody Find a Cure for the Peeling Radio Buttons?

    My "BAND" and "1 2" buttons are starting to peel pretty badly on the Tahoe. Has anybody found any replacements or do I need to have the whole unit replaced?

    Tires/cranking torsion bars

    Okay guys, I'm not going to lie, I'm no mechanic by any means :man:. I've needed tires on my 2004 Tahoe for a couple months now I just haven't decided on what to put on it yet. It has the stock 17'' rims. I need to make up my mind soon, the fronts are completely bald. Heres my question- what...

    Back End Noise

    I keep having a creaking/squeaking noise (hard to describe) when I go over a speed bump or hit a low spot in the road coming from the back end of my 2004 Tahoe (34k miles). It doesn't do it when I'm going fast or hit a pothole or anything, its like if I'm going 20 and go over a big speed bump or...

    Hail Damage

    Woke up at six and looked outside (where my Tahoe was sitting) to damn hail. Did some damage to the hood primarily :cuss: , a couple small dents at the top of the doors. I moved it into the garage right as it was turning into rain. Great timing... Where do I need to take it to get them out...

    Tahoe- Best in Class

    I have to say after driving an Expedition last week and an Armada this morning, the Tahoe has got to be the best driving SUV in its class. I went with one of my buddys to the Nissan dealership to drop off his wifes Armada (I drove the Armada and he followed in his 550i) and I have to say both...

    Touch-Up Paints?

    I got a big dent with a little scrape on the side of my 2004 Tahoe from some ******* parked next to me in a Camry on Saturday. I had the dent taken out but the scratch is still there. It's small enough to be covered up with some touch up paint, but I don't know where to get it. Somebody...

    Tranny problems

    I drove my 2004 Tahoe today after it had been sitting in the garage for about 4 weeks undriven. It started and ran fine but the tranny was kicking pretty hard when downshifting for 20 miles on the way to work. When I got in it to go home this afternoon I started it, put it in "R" and it wouldn't...

    What Color Escalade?

    I have been debating all weekend whether or not to buy myself an Ecalade and my wife finally gave in. I'm keeping my others, but I want a really nice, brand new car. I fell in love with my wife's 2008 Z71 when we got it, but I don't want three Tahoes, so I like the Escalade a lot. The dealer...

    Need to trade, what to buy?

    I need to start looking for something to trade my '07 CTS for, it was an early '07 and already has 76,000 on the odometer. I'm planning on keeping my '04 Hoe for quite a while. It only has 31k. I would really like to stick with GM, and since I drive about 45,000 a year, I really need to find...

    Those tree huggers.. haha

    My wife was outside washing her new Z71 this morning (it's 82 in Clearwater Beach today :yesnod: ), when our neighbor (the classic middle aged, stay at home snob), walks out to get her newpaper. She walks over to my wife and says "Christy, why do you two insist on driving such large vehicles...

    I've got a strange noise

    On my '04 LT I have been noticing lately that when I hit a little dip in the road or when I go over a speed bump, I hear a noise that I really can't describle except that it sounds like a low/deep whine from the back end, if that makes any sense. It almost sounds like the shocks/suspension needs...

    Extended Warranty

    I purchased an extended warranty today from my Chevy dealer on my 2004 Tahoe. I got a quote last time I was there for the Major Guard GMPP 4 year/100k, was over $2400. I drove down there this morning to see what my other options are and he introduced me to the Vehicleone extended warranty...

    Tire Recommendations

    Hey everybody, I just found this website and it looks great. We have two Tahoes, 08 Z71 and 04 LT. I just had my 04 serviced today when we went to buy my wife her new Z71. A service tech told me my tires needed to be replaced within the next 400 miles. This truck has the 17 inch wheels, original...
