    I don't mean to sound naive, but how are you able to run just the fogs/lower lights?

    Need new tires...and help

    Does the Nitto NT 420S come in 275/55/20 If they do it doesn't look like Discount tire has them. Maybe another tire store has that size. Maybe Costco or Sam's has what you're looking for at a better price...

    Which is finer?

    I know at the auto paint supply store they carry wet/dry paper that goes up to 3000 grit. Can't imagine the 0000 being finer than that cause 3000 feels like notebook paper. But honestly you don't have to go any higher, 2000 should be plenty cause compounds/polishers should take care of the...

    Need new tires...and help

    When I had my Z-71 and needed tires I looked around on diferent forums and craigslist and actually found a set of 08' wheels and tires with 800 miles on them. I ended up getting them for $425 for all 4. When I traded in my Z-71 for my 04' Tahoe I put my old wheels and tires back on the Z-71 and...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    The dealer said the same thing when it gets hot the metal expands but they couldn't find where it was due to the metal expanding. They told me it was sealing the leak but to me I heard it more when it got hotter, may have been in my head. When they did the cold start the next morn. they said...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    I was worried cause from my discription it made it sound like that to everyone I talked to. IMO it wasn't running up to par either. And heck, it was driving me up the wall. lol But it fixed it and maybe this thread will help and ease others with the same problem. But I do appreciate all...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    Well it came down to them keeping it over night so they could get a true cold start on it. Conclusion, exhaust leak where the header meets the pipe. I gave them the fo ahead to replace both gaskets, I just hope they did. Parts $28.59 Laboer $225.99 Total= $281.94 I appreciate all the...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    So this would mean the timing may be off, correct? This is only my 3rd tank of gas I've ran through it, but after reading that article I figured it would be best to take it in to correct it. Well I called them again, now they have it on the lift with the brake on and revving it to try and...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    It's for the diagnosis period. But I'm always nervous taking my vehicles anywhere. You're in Cali, I can see why it's a lot more. I'm in the Dallas, Tx. area. He test drove it with me in there and I specifically told him it happens in higher gears and low rpm's or at lower speeds. He...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    I appreciate it, looks like I'll take it to the dealer. They chrage $90 just to look at it, but atleast it will go towards the repair. I just can't take a chance especially since I use it to tow my work trailer. Thanks for your help. Marc <><

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    Well I'm on my 2nd or 3rd tank since I bought it. I 've added octane booster the first and 2nd and now running fuel injector cleaner. Just don't want to mees the engine up and end up paying more. So I think I will take it in tomarrow morning. This thing should be running like a champ, but...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    Dr. Overkill I appreciate the link. I read through it and a lot had to do with the engine running hotter than normal. My Tahoe actually runs a lot cooler than my Sierra did. The temp gauge never hits the 210 mark, even in 105 degree weather towing my trailer. I sure hope that the engine isn't...

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    I put some octane booster in it. If this is the problem then it must have some bad gasoline cause this is a flexfuel Tahoe.

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    Thanks guys, I'll put some octane booster in it today. I bought it and the dealer had it for 21 days, and a few of those days were very humid. I sure hope this works. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it.

    Rattling When Stepping On Gas?

    It almost sounds like a cable slapping around when I step on the gas, sound seems as tho it's right under drivers floor board. I thought it only did this when towing, but it seems to do it when not towing as well, not as bad though. Any thoughts on this. Seem like it's really under powered...

    What To Do If Tow Mode Isn't Engaging??

    Yes, only happens when I step on the gas and in tow mode. When I tow I leave it in tow mode, but I'm sure it would happen if I was towing and had it out of tow mode. No work done to motor that I can tell. Just a stock 04' with 41k mi. and a 3:42 gear ratio. Yeah, do I do simple mods or just...

    What To Do If Tow Mode Isn't Engaging??

    Well I found out I have 3:42 gear ratio which I'm thinking has a lot to do with it. The wife and I took it to the store and as we we going up a hill I pushed the tow mode and felt a slight downshift. So atleast I know it's working, but towing over 55mph it's a sled.lol I do get better gas...
