Hi, guys. My '00Z71 (ie, a late '99) is acting funny. Two issues: 1) When I make a sharp turn, it "bumps" as if it's going over small potholes, or as if the 4WD is on (when it's really in 2Hi). Is this normal and I just never noticed it before, or a possible problem? 2) Lately, it's a...

Hi, gang. I put the '00 Tahoe Z71 (so a '99 drivetrain) that I bought a few months back into 4Hi for the first time since my test drives, and it's all messed up -- a bumpiness and halting when turning, and a big clunk when I go back into 2WD. Driving straight ahead it seems OK, but I haven't...

Hi, folks. Took the new used '00 (ie, basically a late '99) Z71 Tahoe for its first real trip, from Portland to the central Oregon coast and back with family, dog and canoe. Loved it! But then it sat for 24 hours, and tonight I found the battery dead. When I opened the door, there was a loud...

OK, so I've just bought the Tahoe, knowing full well I've got a significant maintenance Q, which is: replace intake manifold gasket now, or can I wait since at this point I don't see significant external leak, significant coolant loss, foamy oil, or "rust" color on oil filler cap? Background...

I put my post about my new baby (with a couple Qs) on the '99 forum, since the '00 Z71 is basically the last of the '99 style, but I'd love to have folks check it out here. Thanks for all the advice everyone gave!

This is the one I took too long to decide over, then got sold to someone else. The other guy never came back with his check for the balance by the date promised and didn't return several calls, so the dealer sold it to me. 109,900 miles, $6,000, Z71 package, leather in good shape, super clean...

I think I'm indecisive, but I'm not sure... I keep hemming and hawing about the Tahoe I'm thinking of getting. ('00 Z71, which is the old body, basically a '99 with nifty extras. 5.7L. $6,000) Tonight I noticed a spot of rot on the tailgate right under the window. It's not through the...

I'm thinking about buying a 2000 Tahoe with 109,000 miles on it. I've been offered a limited vehicle services contract -- basically covers internally lubricated parts of the engine and tranny, with one huge exclusion: if an internal part fails due to failure of a non-covered part, it's not...

It's curious, but the EPA mpg ratings shown for the 2000 Z71 Tahoe on Edmunds.com are 14/18, but the official EPA site says they're 11/15. The EPA also says it's adjusted its older ratings to match what I guess is a different method used to calculate the newer ones -- but that's a pretty big...

Hi, guys! I'm thinking of buying a 2000 Tahoe Z71 (that's the tricked out off-road package they offered right before switching to the next generation, so it's essentially a '95-'99). Vehicle has 109,000 miles, is in very good shape, tires have at least another year on them, leather seating...
