Anybody know why I can barely see my shift selector? The other dash lights work fine, and adjust with the dome light control. Not the shift selector. I have a 2005 Tahoe Z71.

Getting the button out is the easy part. How the hell do you reconnect the harness.?!?!

I have the same year, same model Tahoe. It was my transfer case, not the transmission. My total repair at the dealership was $2500, but I bought the extended warranty, so it was $0.

Yeah bro, it could be your transfer case. I have the Z71 4x4 and that is exactly what happened to me in the middle of nowhere, CA. I was in cruise control, 70mph, and it would slip out of gear and rev. It might only happen at certain speeds right now, but get it looked at now! Soon you'll be...

Extra battery power Me too. I want to take my Tahoe camping and watch a DVD in the back without running my engine for 2 hours. I don't need to run a bunch of wires through the cabin or drill holes. Just add power. How simple is that?

Hey guys, I searched the forum pretty well but couldn't find an answer. I have a 2005 Black Z71 with the plastic molding around the wheel wells. I got wax on it and now it has a hazy, gray color to it. Any good ideas or products to remove/restore the black color to the plastic? I use...

So MPG is a hot topic these days. I am disappointed with my gas mileage on my 2005 Z71. We took a 420 mile road trip, all highway miles from the bay area to Anaheim. My MPG on the way down was 17.6 - on the way home it was 17. I read about all these people getting 20+ MPG, but I don't see how...

I'm pretty new to Tahoes and this forum. My wife said an alert came up on the dash last night that said 4x4 maintenance is needed. Anybody know how serious this is? It's an '05 Z71 we just bought in April. We've shifted into 4x4 once, just to keep the parts moving. Any secrets to fixing this...

Have you had any fading or shadowing on the area debadged if the vehicle is 3-4 year old before you debadge? I want to debadge my black '05 Hoe.

X2 Don't settle for a vehicle just because it might be a good deal. You're going to be driving it for the next 5-10 years, so pick the one you really want! Don't settle for white when you don't even want a white truck! Get the color and features you want on the vehicle, accept no less!

Here's the finished product! I love it.

Of all the bowtie painting threads on this forum, this was the most useful and descriptive entry! :thumbsup: You should definitely make this a permanent thread in the how-to section. This is also my first mod and I've decided to attach some pics since visuals help. You can see on the first...

Thanks guys. I'll see if I want to tackle this. :thumbsup:

I appreciate the pics, tast101, but it doesn't answer my question. I want to know if there is a wiring harness back there waiting for me, or if I have to splice in an amp and speaker wires and stuff. Check out the link in my previous post; is that ready to install, plug in and play?

Is this a pretty straight forward install? Plug and play, or splice wires and solder and stuff...

:smilielol: :smilielol: Amen to that! You've got to get over while you still can! The pirate opportunities just become greater the more they make us pay for additional services and privileges. #$%k 'em.

Great questions Rocky, and my wife and I just went through a similar process. We were pleasantly surprised with what we found. You'll find mileage about the same on these, 14-19 MPG. Depending on mods you can get more or less. These are VERY owner friendly vehicles. My wife swears by...

My first thought was the window motor and regulator. My '95 Chevy Camaro went through 3 motors in 3 years. Chevy's have notoriously heavy windows, but it's good to hear that some silicon spray fixed it up!

That's funny, we just purchased a 2005 Tahoe with the Z71 package for the same reason. Chick's dig it!

We just got the same truck, same year, same color, same features. Ours isn't a fleet truck, but we paid $22k and it has 42k miles. We love it and it is clean! Do a carfax and make sure the history is clean. That would be my only reservation.
