    I need help with 2002 z71 tahoe 5.3 4x4

    Check transmission fluid level. Drain some Tcase fluid and look for glitter and check the magnet of the tranny and the Tcase for chunks. You will need to drop tranny pan to check the magnet.

    Reduced Engine Power, an opinion and experience piece!

    I disagree. Its almost always either a bad/worn TPS, Its associated wire harness (broken wire), Bad TAC module wiring harness (broken wire), Bad TAC module, Bad/worn Foot pedal Pot or ground issue. In that order of most likely fault.

    Clunking/ knocking noise when floor my 06 Yukon denali

    Chain stretch is very common on a high mileage transfer case. If not caught fast enough it results in the chain chewing up the inside of the case and come peaking out of a YUGE hole that it has made which destroys the case. https://www.allstategear.com/NP246-Chains-s/2472.htm...

    Death Wobble Diagnosis Help

    Have a look at your upper control arms. The eccentric cams specifically. See if there are signs of being moved which throws the angle of the tire where it meets the road out (caster/camber). Also a common result of a deep pothole is a bent tie rod. It will be obvious and it will be your inner...

    Little help with electrical issue

    There are 4 possible causes to the symptoms the OP listed. First is a bad battery. Has a weak cell and cant put out the correct voltage under load. Second is a bad alternator. And if the alternator is the cause it certainly can ruin a battery due to overcharging. Third is silver migration in...

    Repeated stalls

    Thats the typical culprit...but that problem will produce a "reduced engine power" on the cluster and the engine RPM will default to around 1000rpm no matter what your throttle input is. If you were just having stalling problems then I would replace fuel filter AND the pump, esepcially when the...

    Repeated stalls

    OP wrote "“low engine power”...Did you mean reduced engine power? If so this is a clue and usually means you have the dreaded broken wires at the throttle body for the fly by wire. A wire breaks in that harness and you will get that reduced engine power along with just above idle max throttle...

    2003 Tahoe 4.8 4x4

    When you squeezed the caliper pistons back in so you could install the thicker brake rotors, you may have ended up with a leaking piston seal and now have air in your brakes. Start checking for brake fluid on rotors and calipers.

    2006 Tahoe/Locking brakes )car won’t move

    Your master cylinder and booster are not the culprits here. Everytime you crack open a brake line connection you are letting air into the system. That is a no go. The brakes will have to be bled....but likely they will need bled anyway AFTER you replace the collapsed rubber brake hose that is...

    4wd not working 2002 Tahoe

    TCCM is likely lost because of a dirty or faulty Tcase Position Sensor (commutator) that is built into the shift moder (but is replaceable). This is the most common fault with the symptom you have. Doesnt hurt to get the codes that are thrown before throwing parts at it though.

    Could this be a bad transmission pump?
