    Replacing a Rear Axle

    Last week while driving (1996 Tahoe) to Petaluma I suddenly got a noise out of the right rear that sounded to me like a bearing. I still haven't taken anything apart, waiting to learn more about what I am getting myself into. It should be an adventure. If it is the axle bearing, it is available...

    4WD will not engage.

    I'm finally getting around to fixing some of the things that haven't worked since I bought my Tahoe, and I'm actually having some success. One thing I'm still having a little trouble with is switching from 2WD to either 40-Hi or 4-Lo. The switch had been busted and I recently replaced it, and...

    Flunked California Smog

    Hi. New here. Lots of questions since I've never before owned a remotely modern GM product until now and this one has a few issues. Mine is a 1996 Tahoe, 4 door/4WD, which I purchased from a nice little old lady that just used it to go to the store to get food for the stray cats she fed...

    Mike from Team Tinyvette

    I recently purchased a used Tahoe that I use to tow the race car (1969 Opel GT). I've had it a few months and mostly ignored it because races are so infrequent and I don't need it for much else. But, registration and smog are hanging over my head and with that I am finally going through the...
