It could be alot of different things and you'll never narrow it down to the culprit until you stop guessing and/or throwing parts at it. Troubleshooting is an art it in itself which requires nothing more than being systematic. Suck squeeze bang blow is all you need to remember which the 4...

Very dumb and irresponsible thing to even attempt. The towing weight capacity of any vehicle is rated for the suspension and brakes that were installed on the vehicle at the factory. You are setting yourself up for an out of control vehicle situtation which makes you a danger to all on the...

You obviously have little understanding of very basic electrical principles. When any Normally Open switch (including the brake switch) is actuated it is electrically shorted across its contacts, which is what it is electrically suppose to do. Electrically shorted (AKA Bridged) is VERY...

Is the spark bright blue or white or orange? If its anything other than bright blue then you have a ignition coil and/or ignition control module problem. Then check fuel pressure. Is it up to spec? If not then you may have introduced a problem fuel pump into the mix OR the fuel pressure...

A short (circuit) in the brake light switch would cause the brake lights to be on all the time. How exactly do you get a SHORT TO GROUND in a brake light switch? A short (circuit) in the MFC would cause that specific circuit to be on all the time (or off) depending on what circuit it is. A...

If you havent done so already, remove and clean the ground connection at the top center rear of the engine block.

Condenser is in front of your radiator. (heat is exchanged from the refrigerant to the atmosphere here). Evaporator is under the dash in the ductwork and this is where humidity(with heat) evaporates once it reaches the cold evaporator and the heat is absorbed by the refrigerant and carried off...

15K is insane! I would be concerned with why a engine that should have easily got 300K on the clock before death but instead needed replaced at 103K. Was a race car driver driving it? Teen?

This has the 5.7L right? Check the timing on the distributor! It is impossible to install the distributor without a scanner that shows the actual timing counts. The engine will not even start if the distributor is not locked down within 10 counts(I believe thats what he units of measure is)...

Release your emergency brake and then admit to NO ONE that you left it on!

I have the same problem with my girlfriends 2003 5.3L. My 2003 5.3L is more stable but is not 100% when it gets much below 30 degrees outside. Hers I attribute to poor maintenance from the previous owners. Ill have to run through hers when spring gets here and then mine too. Her Tahoe LT was...

The OP said his tahoe is "sliding into 2nd". What do you think those clutches are doing during all that "sliding"? They are being burnt. Check fluid and you will find that it is no longer pink and smells burnt.

His clutches have been slipping and are being burnt everytime this happens. His tranny will live a short a life. At the very least the pan needs to be dropped along with the valve body and inspected for the cause of the failure to shift correctly. If you think for one minute everything is...

You sure 2nd is there? The 4L60E (TH700R4 formerly) has a band that is used for 2nd and 4th(OD) only. Count shifts while conservatively opening the throttle. Dont confuse Torque Convertor lockup with a shift.

There is not a tv cable on the 4l60E. Your tranny needs rebuilt. Once slipping starts its too late. The damage has been done. Its just a matter of time until NO GO!
