    cylinder deactivation issue - dealer response

    Thanks for the post! I have an 07 so i have a 4spd trans where you have the 6spd. But after installing a mild flowmaster exhaust the switch from v4 to v8 has gotten really noticable. It has always felt like the engine "lugs" in v4 and does vibrate the truck. Thanks to you i'm gonna look into...

    Police Package Brakes?

    Thanks! I actually ordered the r1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors already. I'm gonna go with police package calipers to go with those. I tow a lot and I don't want to deal with warping.

    Police Package Brakes?

    I just bought an 07 z71 Tahoe and the rear rotors are warped. Looking at my replacement rotor options I came across the "Police Package" rotors on Napa's website. I was wondering if these would be direct replacement on my Z71, or if anyone has used them as an upgrade. Performance rotors...

    Amsoil ATF

    We put amsoil atf in my buddys 03 silverado but we just sucked out what we could through the dipstick, then dropped the pan, changed the filter, and refilled to proper level. Did you put as much fluid back in as you took out? Because im guessing that there could be an air pocket somewhere that...

    5.3L running out of oil?

    So, while helping a family friend shop for a used Suburban I have come across several of them at used car lots who have had the engines replaced and they don't even have 50k miles on them. I thought this was really odd being that the LS engine family is pretty bulletproof. Then last weekend my...

    2001 Chevy Tahoe Heat Problem

    Mine has rear heat. And it worked last winter. Theres a temp controll from 66-88degrees above the rearview mirror and a digital temp control, on the back of the center console, for the rear passengers to use that ranges from 60-90degrees.

    new shocks for 2003 z71

    So I'm guessing you chose shocks already since no one gave you advice since august!? I'm in the same situation with my 04 Z71. I just dont have rear spacers. I'm considering rancho rs9000xl's, KYB monomax, and Bilstein 4600s. Kybs are bang for buck...other forums say Bilsteins are the best...

    2001 Chevy Tahoe Heat Problem

    When you say yours did this a year ago, did it do the blow hot for a 15-60 seconds then go cold? Because i did a driveway cooling system flush this summer and then found my REAR heat wasn't working this fall. Mine does the... blow hot for under a minute then turns cold. If i shut off the truck...

    05Tahoe-Lft Rear Axle chatter while turning

    If you have a locking rear differential it sounds like its crapping out on you. Check your glove box for RPO code "G80" if you're unsure if you have one. Its on the silver sticker inside the door.

    the elusive 2000 tahoe 2 door

    I've actually been lookin at making a 2-door out of a 2000 or '07 Suburban and somethin makes me think that this could be one of the GM prototypes that was let go to a customizer. Loot at the rear overhang...its shorter than that of a 'Hoe or 'Burb, and that back side glass is exactly the same...

    the elusive 2000 tahoe 2 door

    What pic is photo shopped? The red 2000 with "scrap" on the window? It looks good to me, but i'm not familiar with using photoshop and dont know the places to look to find fakes.

    Can I fit 295/70 r17's just by cranking the torsion bars?

    I got 285/70/17 Cooper STT's on my 04 z71 with the bars cranked. I've never had clearance issues in the front, but in the rear i had to cut out the plastic where its molded to accomodate the shock bolts. The tires contacted the inner fenders and kinda busted em up a bit when i first got em on...

    How well do Tahoes hold up past 100K? Help

    I've got 119k on my '04 Z71 Tahoe and it's still goin stong! I've put 25k miles on it, but I've only had to put in a steering gearbox. I actually bought it needing that replaced. The part was only $200 and it took me a couple hrs to change it out. I off-road (forest service roads) and tow alot...

    Brake Upgrades?

    Does anyone know of any brake upgrades available for Colorados? The truck pulls our 2000lb tent trailer great, but even with electric trailer brakes the truck brakes overheat and the pedal gets soft. Is there a disc setup for the rear? Performance rotors for the front? It already has upgraded...

    Tranny question

    I have the same deal with my '04 Z71 Tahoe with 101k on it. Mine seems to shift hard between 1 and 2 if i'm backing out of the throttle at the time of the shift. If i'm accelerating, both gradually or at WOT, it shifts smoothly. My friend who's owned a trans shop for 30 years told me to drive...

    Remove wax from plastic

    Try scrubbing at it with a WHITE scotchbrite pad. White is the most gentile and I used it to get wax off my mom's Z71 Colorado's flares. It works pretty good but be careful not to let the pad rub on the paint. White pads are kind of hard to find, but I was turned on to them while working for a...

    How do I tell the axle ratio?

    I'm still on the hunt for my perfect '00-'06 Tahoe/Yukon. I want to find a truck with 4:10 gears but I'm not sure if there's something printed on the truck somewhere that tells the ratio. I know there's a better chance finding them with the tow package, and that if the original window sticker...

    Rear Locker?

    Ok thanks, I think this truck is most likely unmolested so I'm hoping it will have the stock rear diff. It 45 miles from my house so I figured I'd see what the people on the fourm had to say before I drive all the way down there.

    Rear Locker?

    I'm looking at buying a Tahoe and I found a Z71 that I like, its the 1999 body style but its listed as a 2000. What kind of locker does it have? Is it the Eaton mechanical locker (G80) or a posi style?
