    2003 tahoe spark plug replacement

    Check out the first part of the thread http://www.tahoeforum.com//showthread.php?t=14514 I just wiggled the boots out by hand, and it would be a good idea to replace the wires because chances are they are old or corroded/ rusted to the actual plug. In that case you will need to replace them...

    spark plug changing

    do the plugs yourself, its easy all you need is a wrench (and a shop manual might help give you some direction, chilton is a good one that is sold at most auto part shops) I have had my water pump replaced and it did cost me $500 through the stealership. I would recommend getting an OEM pump...

    Will '08 Tahoe Wheels work on an '03?

    Yes, the hybrid ones are aluminum, and the regular ones are alloy, so the hybrid ones are lighter-thus better for fuel economy.

    heater problem

    I have checked hoses and looked all around the water pump, and have not found any leaks (the water pump was replaced a year ago because it started leaking so that is a new part). So you are saying that this bubble could cause my computer climate control to work funny? I have heard of a...

    Removing accent stripe

    When I bought my 03 tahoe in 2006 with 77000 miles on it, it had a pinstripe that had been there from day one, and I used the rubber eraser wheel (I think it was made by 3M)(from O'reillys) to take it off. The paint underneath was not faded, so you couldnt tell there was a pinstripe one there...

    heater problem

    haha ok, I have gotten under the car and it looks like its leaking from somewhere on the drivers side (I cant see the actual source of the leak) and running down the front of the engine block. So possibly heater core??

    Tahoe electric fan questions

    I am going to buy an electric fan from an 06 tahoe for my 03 tahoe. Do I need to buy the harness and have the "pins" activated? If so where can I get them (I heard Black Bear does something like this) and how much would it cost? Thanks for your help.

    heater problem

    I have a 2003 tahoe, and when i got in it this morning no heat (air would but not hot air) would come out of the vents unless i turned it up to 90 (which is full hot) otherwise it was cold just like it was at 60 (full cold). MY rear heat also does not work, but has not been working for a while...

    spark plug changing

    I got under the truck and put the regular socket on around the spark plug first, then popped the socket wrench on the socket then took it out. I also put the new one in from under the truck

    DIC Going Crazy?

    yes its at the bottom of the instrument cluster, and its controlled by the steering wheel controls. You can pop that whole switch out and replace it if you thing it is sticking, I have heard the switches are pretty cheap
