    Erratic fuel gauge

    Have to drain the tank, drop the tank out and install the new one. I bought mine directly from the dealer, who is a close friend of mine, and bought it at their cost. It was well over $200. Is that an OEM part or an aftermarket?

    Erratic fuel gauge

    Had the same problem a few weeks ago on my 03 Tahoe. Guy who fixed it says its a common problem on the GM trucks that the fuel pump module goes bad. I had an erratic fuel gauge as well, and the fuel pump died. Bad news was, everything comes in one piece as a fuel pump module (pump, send unit...

    00 Tahoe Fuel Pump

    Just put a fuel pump module in my 03 Tahoe as well. Did everything said above. Would crank and then sputter and cut off. Also, gas hand would go all over. Since the fuel pump module has the send unit and the fuel pump, the module fixed both problems. Thing that gets me is that I went ahead...

    A/C Lights

    Same problem happened to me a few months ago. Then a few weeks went by and they came back on and have been for a year! I would imagine they are just bulbs in there that can be changed. Hopefully yours will just come back on too!

    What is this speaker?

    If you have a Verizon phone, you just add a line to your existing account for $10 /month and share the minutes from your original plan. You use the onstar button just like the onstar phone, but it works through your cell. The small mic on the overhead console is the mic for that. The small...

    2007 Z71 Tahoe Msrp?

    Looked at an 08 Z71 last night and the full sticker was $51,400 . Actually cheaper than the 08 LTZ they had on the lot, it was $53,000 . I thought the Z71 was the LTZ with skid plates and upgraded suspension. Interior looks identical. Should the Z71 not be more?

    NB here, VSS install in Z71

    OK, so here is the latest deal. Put the nav unit in my 03 Z71 today. The unti is getting power, as the buttons backlight and they go up and down with the dimmer switch. When I turn the key on and plug the radio in, all audio works perfectly. CD works, XM works, radio works, but the screen...

    This is what he was gonna try and do, but he said he had to have a VIN from an 04 to build it. So that isn't the case?

    NB here, VSS install in Z71

    OK guys, help a brother out! I have gotten the radio installed, but run into another snag. I have an 03 Tahoe, and the nav unit I installed was from an 05. Problem is, when the guy at the dealership goes in to program the nav to my car with the TechII, nav is not an option for that year. He...

    Newbie questions

    I also went from Grand Cherokees to a 03 Z71. My Tahoe gets in the 18 range highway, and about 16 around town. My Jeep didn't get that much. Only problem I have had so far with my Tahoe is a fan door solenoid that diverts air from the floor, to dash, to defrost etc. burning out. Gave me a...

    Using my cell phone with '02 Tahoe Z71 Hands Free

    Not sure what service you have, but Verizon is compatible with OnStar. You add your truck as a line on your Verizon account, its like $10.99 a month to add a line, and you share the minutes with your other phone. Works just like the OnStar phone does, hit the button and go. I have the...
