Hello All. 03 Z71, 5.3L 107K miles all stock. The key fob and driver door will always lock the 4 doors and the lift gate. The key fob and driver door will unlock the driver door and double clicking the fob will unlock the passenger door. But, the rear doors and the liftgate are...

Hello all. This is a weird one. It is a new tensioner as I thought it was causing a squeaking noise. It has been on a couple of weeks and squeaking continued but tensioner was never a issue. Then today, massive noises under the hood and we looked and the tensioner is broken off at the mounting...

Did this solve your problem? Please let us know. good write up and directions for this repair. Thanks to all.

Hello all. 03 Z71, 5.3L, 106K miles, all stock. Hearing a squeaking / bird chirping noise from the front of the truck. Pulled the wheels to check the front brake pads; they are fine. Looked for loose heat shields or brackets; none. Seems to be from the passenger front area. Not...

2003 Tahoe Z71, 5.3L, 106K miles, all stock. Need to replace power lock systems in rear doors and lift gate. Would like a talk through for the liftgate trim removal or the entire job would be great too. Where should I go for the parts as well; GM may be very expensive and would like...

We have the opposite problem; it doesn't UN-lock!!! we hit the key fob and / or the driver door switch and it is hit or miss. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to open it. I can hear switches clicking for the doors, but not on the lift gate. Then when I hear it 'click' it opens. I need...

The main reason I was looking at one was the inlet on the stock box is very small. I was hoping there was a good selection of complete boxes out there and not a "filter on a pipe" systems. With the colder weather, this was a concern leading to the posting here. A slight increase in...

our 03 Z71 Tahoe clunks sometimes in the front end. I wonder if this is what it is. Is this the shaft going into the steering box from the steering collum? Could you post a pic to be sure? Thank You.

Looks great! :cool: WHich type or manufactuer is it. We have a 03 Z71 and what you did is exactly what i am looking for. I want to keep my factory Z71 wheels too. Did you installit yourself? Please respond to the type of kit and other info.

Hello all. 03 Z71, all stock with 105K miles. Looking for a leveling kit to pick it up just a bit. Will go with all-terrain type tire with stock wheels when done. What are the best ways to go up just a bit without a major redo of the front & rear suspension? This is not a 'air ride'...

Hello all. As the title says our 03 Z71 will be a 12 month vehicle in Maine. Looking at a CAI, but wondering which gives better performance & mileage but not a problem in winter. The video that K&N has for the 2007 model shows a air box but not for the 2003. Thanks for any advice! Don.

Good question and we are asking the same. 2003 Z71 Tahoe, 103K miles and all stock. Looking for correct shocks for the vehicles capabilities; not just ones that happen to fit. I am confused to what would be the ones to research. Could you post the Bilstien or Ranco part numbers that are...

Hello all. 03 Z71 5.3L 105K miles We are relocating to Maine from Flori-duh. What coolant should we use in the colder climate? What coolant to water ratio is used? Should the coolant be used straight with no water? We just had the trancmission serviced and all 4WD fluids changed as well...

Hello again. We are looking to replace ; what appears to be; the original shocks on the Tahoe. 105K miles and they still work but look tired. What is a good OEM based replacement front & rear shock for this? Do 99% street driving for now but maybe some slow fire roading in a year or two. I...

Hello all. Here is our situation. 03 Z71, 5.3L all stock engine & running gear and tire size. Tires are Bridgestone Dueler HT 265/70/17. The door plate says to put in 30 (!!??) psi. We felt that was way too low for the Bridgestones. So, we went to 32. Better, but still a little 'flat looking'...
