My 97 can run perfect all day long. But, when I put the shifter into park, the engine dies. It will start right up again. No problem. But why does it do this? Only happens every now and again but, the idle still drops drastically when it don't stall. Any suggestions? Maybe a sensor? Maybe...

Thanks lester. You were right. Tech2 scantool. I will get it done soon. you know how appointments go, whenever they can get me in.......

I have bigger tires on my 97. Equivelant to 33" in height. My speedometer is off approximately 10 to 12 mph. Can a normal tire shop calibrate this or do you have to have a scan tool attatched by a mechanic? If so, then how much does this usually costs?

Will do. They do deserve a positive review. I think they ate mostly all the costs on the second rebuild. Good sugestion Ice.

Update! Got the tahoe back. After another new valve body, new 3rd, 4th, and overdrive bands, and new solenoids the tranny still would not come outta 2nd. The one simple and least obvious thing that caused this issue was a broken check valve(location unknown).This was replaced and everything...

Tahoe is back at tranny shop waiting to have pan pulled. they think it sounds like a bad shifter solenoid or a possible wore out valve body. will know tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip Lester. Iwill check that out. This has to be an electronic issue. After a major rebuild like this, it should not be doing the same thing I had it rebuilt for.

I have a 1997 2dr 4wd 4L60E that had tranny issues. Would not come outta 2nd gear and shift any further. First and second gear operated normally. I had the tranny rebuilt professionally. It needed new planatary gears as well as a complete rebuild kit. A brand new torque convertor and shift...

Does anyone out there know of a company that produces or sells a cat back duel exhaust kit for a 97 2 dr? All I need is a one in/two out muffler and two tailpipes. Why is this so hard to find? I don't want to pay for a custom job when I can do it myself with a kit. Maybe one of y'all have an...

By the way, where is this switch located on the column and what does it look like? Maybe some pics?

Thanks for the info lesterl. I'll check out the switch.

That's right. Sometimes the trucks in Tennessee talk to ya when it's quiet!

Thanks for the info Tex. I'll look into it more.

My 97 4wd Tahoe has stiff and unpredictable steering. It seems to wander around a lot. The power steering pump has been replaced with a new one as well as the hoses. The steering dampener as well as all ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm and sway bar bushings are new. So I know the entire...

I have a 1997 4wd 2dr Tahoe that makes a terrible noise and vibration only when I am coming out of overdrive adding light acceleration and not heavy acceleration. About 40 or 45 mph. It sounds like the noise you hear when you run over the strips on the interstate. A short and brief rumble strip...
