    Does Delphi have a quality control department

    After losing heat on my 2005 tahoe yesterday I traced it back to a diverter. No big deal, but it seems like avery couple of months I have a bad dome light switch in a $250 door latch, or my spedometer is pined on 100mph or a bulb is out in my radio or a window switch doesnt work or my heated...

    dome light won't come on when I open door

    the dome light will come on when I open 3 out of 4 doors. When I open the passenger side front door the dome light will not come on. When this happened in past cars I would look for that little plunger in the door jamb and replace it and then the dome light will work. I dont see any plungers...

    Towing Question

    I have a 2005 Z71 tahoe with the towing package and a 7 pin connector. I have to pick up a trailer this week that has electric brakes. I have never towed with my truck before. Stupid question here but to get the trailer breaks to operate, do I have to install a brake controler or does my...

    What altenator came stock on a 2005 Z71?

    I bought a 2005 Z71 Tahoe two years ago with 80k and the altenator started making a grinding noise just last week which sounded like a bearing so I took it apart and found a piece of the rotor was coming in contact with the stator (weird) so I filed it down and put it back together and the noise...

    Front axle seal leaking - how do I replace?

    I did it last night on my back in my driveway, wasnt so bad but wasnt fun either. I set the e-brake and jacked the front of the truck up and supported the front wheels about an inch off the ground with jackstands under the frame rails. I then drained the diff and then I marked and removed the...

    Front axle seal leaking - how do I replace?

    I did an oil change on my 2005 Z71 today and noticed the passenger side front axle shaft leaking by the 6 bolt flange. I am going to pick up a seal this week and fix it next weekend. How do you remove the shaft from the diff housing? I read this post but it doesnt tell how to get the shaft...

    Ground Lug location 2005 Tahoe

    My rear wiper and defroster wouldn’t work this morning on my truck. The lights on the switches lit up. I checked the fuses and they were ok. I am going to assume they both share a common ground lug. I am going to take apart the tailgate when I get home tonight and inspect this lug. The only...

    Got a ripped balljoint boot? Here my quick fix

    I bought my 2005 tahoe used in 2008. I have since maintained it myself including oil changes. When I change the oil I like to take my grease gun and give a few pumps to all the zerk fittings on the front suspension. With past cars I have always noticed when I pump grease into the ball joints...

    How do I change front brake pads on a 2005 Tahoe

    I drove it up to my dads shop and used an impact as suggested and they came out like butter. I bought 4 new slider pins from carquest for $18 that have the hex, no more torx, on a side note, you can get the pads out without removing the slider pins. You just have to remove the caliper bracket...

    How do I change front brake pads on a 2005 Tahoe

    I think you are right, I cant get the pads out the side either no matter how much I wack at it. I did some searching on line and found this post from another forum where it says you can in the last two posts. Perhaps this guy had a different style caliper set up...

    How do I change front brake pads on a 2005 Tahoe

    Righty tighty, lefty loosy... There shouldnt be any reason slider pins are reverse threaded that I can see.

    How do I change front brake pads on a 2005 Tahoe

    Yeah... these torx are not coming out. If I remove the caliper bracket from the spindle again and try to slide the caliper off the caliper bracket to extract the pads the caliper starts to slide out but gets hung up right before It clears the slider pins. Perhaps it is binding up on the inner...

    How do I change front brake pads on a 2005 Tahoe

    I have the day off and wanted to replace the warped front rotors and install new pads on my 2005 Tahoe. I went to remove my caliper slider bolts with my 3/8" allen socket only to find out the slider bolts are a T55 torx. I replaced the 3/8" allen socket with a T55 torx bit and bent the bit...
