Welcome to the Tahoe forums! This is the first I've been back on here in a while, but everytime I asked questions on here I got pretty good answers. Hopefully you find this place as helpful and useful as I have. Anyway, on to your question... I'd start with the O2 sensors if you already know...

Although nobody ever replied to this, I would like to know what you ended up doing with your truck. I have the same Tahoe and she still runs and drives OK, but she's at 218k miles and gradually breaking down on me. I'm in the process of researching my options as far as rebuilding the current...

Hey guys, My Tahoe has the 60/40 split bench seats up front. I'd really like to have bucket seats so I can make a custom center console to house a carputer that I've been planning on building. I've been searching around for a bucket seat (driver only or both front seats) and have only...

I've thought about a similar set of blocks/keys for mine as well. The main thing stopping me is that I've been told the keys in the front throw off the angle of the control arms, which would make it ride funny. A real lift kit would keep the stock angles so you could keep the smooth stock ride...

Not sure how I feel about these. They're not ugly, but I don't really like the style either. Maybe I'm just biased. I always preferred the OBS vs NBS, and especially the newer NBS. Regardless, if I were to pick either the new Yukon or Tahoe, I'd get the Tahoe. I like it's front end and gauge...

Hey guys! Just wanted to share my experience with you all. Maybe someone here has had, or will have, the same problem. The Problem: My Tahoe used to dump black smoke every time I opened her up on the highway. It only smoked when the RPMs got above 2,800, but when I say smoke, I mean SMOKE...

I had a similar issue with that sensor. It's called the EVO (Electronic Variable Orfice) sensor. It controls how much power steering assist you get. I disconnected mine to see if that was the issue and now I get 100% full power assist at all times (even when I'm going 65 down the highway). I...

Hmm, that makes me wonder. I know a bit about electronics and a "jittery" signal would make me want to assume that it's a PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. If that's the case, I'd try and throw a capacitor-resistor pair from the signal wire to ground. That would help smooth out the signal...

So, unfortunately I could not find just the motor. The only thing I could find was the entire gauge cluster, which is way overboard. I've never looked at the back side of my gauge cluster before, but does anyone know if the motors are easily visible? If so, then you may be able to search for a...

Spys looks nice, but I like the Hoss best.

I'm not sure right off hand, but when I get to work I'll see if I can find a number for you. I work at CarQuest, but I might be able to find a number that you can cross-reference or something.

Wow, the Raybestos had more play? All the guys at work (I work at CarQuest) say Raybestos is the best when it comes to suspension and steering parts.

Damn lesterl, you're just full of tips and tricks, aren't you? I guess there's always an easier way to do everything.

It does sound like a differential issue, but he said it feels like the brakes are on, so that makes me think the problem is elsewhere. I wish I had some suggestions, but I'm still learning as I go, sorry.

I second that, although if you're like me and prefer to go the cheap DIY route, you can get really close to straight by eye and feel. I replaced my pitman arm, tie rods, and balljoints about a year ago. To get it close I jacked up the front and had the steering wheel centered. Then I visually...

That's probably a good idea. I don't see what it would hurt. Fortunately, I don't think mine backed out (at least not to a noticeable extent as yours did). A few months back I was down there replacing one of the mounts that hold the torsion bar cross-member to the main frame and both sides...

Good point, but I suppose it's mostly what height feels like it has the best handling. I have no idea if the front and rear should be equal or have a little bit of forward/rear lean. I'll check that as well tomorrow when I measure my Tahoe's stance. I guess I'll go from there. Hopefully it's...

I'm thinking the same thing as well. My driveway has a sideways slope to it, so my Tahoe always sits a little off to the passenger side. I'll have to park elsewhere and check how mine sits.

Like samotahoe said, if you jack it up, it should be fairly easy to see which joints are bad. How many miles does your hoe have? A little advice though, if you've got at least one bad balljoint, then you might as well change all of them.

I don't answer a lot of questions people have, because I'm not a mechanic. I just try to fix whatever I break along the way, lol. Although, I do try to help when I know a little something.
