99 Tahoe 350 vortex Front and rear air conditioning I've had problems with my a.c. over the last few years and have replaced several of the components in the system. I've replaced the hard aluminum lines to the rear condenser with soft lines. I've replaced the rear condenser/evap. I'm...

ok, i got the right wrenches, but am having a really difficult time with the two fitting in the rear that attach to the condenser unit. the lines coming off of the unit appear to be aluminum and the connecting hoses are aluminum as well, but the nuts appear to be steel. Is there a good...

does anyone know the sizes of the fittings for the rear ac lines. I was told by a service tech, that one of my lines had a pinhole in it( i understand a common problem with the original aluminum lines), and wanted to charge me $900 to replace them and then additional for servicing. I have...

i'm having a similar issue. my key FOB will lock/unlock the doors but the inside switches do not operate. is the driver door lock switch a "master" switch. a friend had this problem on a different make vehicle....his "master" switch was bad. replaced it and all worked fine. this is a 3rd...

no none of the reels are moving

does anyone have any experience with the odometer and trip meter not turning over. all other gauges on panel seem to work. rpm and speedo are working as normal. is there a cable or relay that i can check / replace?

catalytic converter concerns LESTERL...by converter, are you refering to the catalytic converter???? i was just looking for some advice on the life span for those things. my 99 tahoe starts and idles fine. when i really try to put my foot in the throttle its really hesitant and rough to...

i understand what you're saying. although i haven't used 4lo very often i have used it, and i recognize the typical binding when in 4lo on dry pavement. however i have used 4hi quite often, as well as auto 4wd, and have never experienced this type of binding on this vehicle. at this point i...

sorry been away for a while. it only binds while turning. UPDATE: I just replace the 4wd selector switch based on some cosmetetic ussues with the old on and the fact that i've read several things on here that lead me to believe that the switch could be the cause of several problems..... The...

This happens in both 4hi and 4lo, it also happens in 4wd auto mode. In 2hi everything seems to work fine

Yes to both. This is a factory stock 99 tahoe, it's had no performance upgrades. This problem has just recently developed. It seems to drive OK in 2nd both forward and reverse

how far should the 4wd actuator extend, I've got a problem with my system. i've checked all of the fuses, i don't have a vacumn system. the system seems to select different modes of 2 or 4wd. but when in 4wd (high, low, or auto) there seems to be a serious binding issue in the front end(...

Check the wire harness behind the blower control panel. I had this problem several years ago. Had replaced the switch the times then finally started looking deeper after the third new switch didn't work. There had been a short at someone a few inches from the plug itself. Got a...

My 99 has a bit over 180,000

Hello everyone, New to the forum. I have a 99 tahoe with 180, xxxviii miles on it. The problem that I'm having is similar to a thread at the top of this message. When I have it in either 4 low, or high, there seams to be some real resistance or binding going on while trying to turn...
