    05 Tahoe radiator fan

    Possibly moisture on pin42 of the PCM again. I don't think you sealed it up properly when you swapped PCM. unplug 42 and dry it out, then see where you stand. Or the replacement PCM is also faulting on the same PiN: not impossible...

    Tahoe clicking noise

    The most important exercise you can do is lift the front up and check the wheel hubs for any play by grasping each tire at the top & bottom, attempting to move it back&forth of the hub. You do the same thing holding at 9:00 & 3:00 o'clock for tie rod diagnosis. It doesn't cost anything and will...

    2004 Tahoe Front End Shake

    That symptom is usually a sign of ball joint failure. You only have 2 little ball joints, basically holding your tire/wheel to the truck, or to the spindle to be specific. I suggest you have a pro check it out if you are not moderately skilled in auto repair & diagnosis. A ball joint failure...

    CV shaft wheel hub nightmare

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. It's not uncommon for folks to attempt driving 1 of these 4x4s minus a CV shaft with a resulting wheel hub separation and even bigger problems than you originally imagined. Some folks have been thoughtful enough to post warnings on the interweb; thank God I spend...

    Leveling kit

    It is impossible to lift the front suspension without a having the wheels re-aligned. The positive camber resulting from 2" lift keys on my Yukon could be noticed 100 yards away and 2-stories up. It was dramatic, to say the least. If you put lift keys on your truck without having the wheels...

    lift kits 101

    I just did aftermarket lift keys and 275-65-20s. I started out with the keys resting on the stops and bolts barely tightened. Then I drove the truck a few blocks, realized how rough it was and tightened the bolts up a bit cranking the keys. This improved the ride dramatically and lifted the...

    Accessive play in steering wheel!

    The chassis linkage for the steering needs to be inspected: Tie rod ends, idler arm, etc... Everything that you see going from the steering gearbox to the wheels. Check your front wheel bearing for play, both upper & lower control arm ball-joints. Lots & lots of maintenance items to be addressed...

    Can I have more than 1 remote fob 03 Tahoe?

    Is this true? I bought a 2003 that came with 1 fob. Wanting to get a 2nd fob for wife's keychain. The original works fine so if I buy a new unit, what all do I need to know as to have both working properly instead of creating problems like rendering the original non-operational?

    CV Axle Bearing and more??

    What kind of diagnosis have you come up with in regard to the 4WD, grinding sounds, etc? I'm new here, just came across your thread. I may have similar problems with a truck that I just bought.

    ABS light and SERVICE 4WD.

    first of all, the "SERVICE 4WD" will not in itself disable the vehicle from starting. I suppose if the issue regarding the 4WD is bad enough like a wheel bearing about to self destruct, the vehicle could disable the starter but I have never heard of such a thing. I had the "SERVICE 4WD" d.i.c...

    spark plug changing

    I replaced the plugs in my truck last night with little difficulty, although a specific setup is called for. different people handle it different ways. I had more trouble removing the lead/boot than the actual plug itself. see image attached. 1/2" drive ratchet 1/2" to 3/8" drive adapter 3/8"...
