    Bilstein 4600's. Who's running them and what's a good price?

    My 2003 Z71 Tahoe is about to turn 70,000 miles. Due to the age I'm considering replacing all 4 shocks. I found both front and rears for $65.25 each or $261 and that's with free shipping and no tax at AJUSA.COM. I think that seems to be a good price. Who is running this model on their truck...

    Retrofit/Install Apple CarPlay+Android Auto + backup cam in 2003 Tahoe?

    Is this possible? I've looked on ebay for receivers and they all look like a bunch of junk that ships straight from China. I'd prefer a system that comes stock in a newer model car or truck but since this is such a new thing I don't think that'll be happening soon. I'm wondering if it's...

    Need a new serpentine belt. Gatorback / Continental part #?

    2003 Tahoe Z71 with 5.3l Flex. How do I know what size alternator I have? 105, 130 or 145amp? It appears Continental took over the Goodyear Gatorback series. Does anyone know the part number I need for the belt? Thanks!

    Loose rear driver side window

    Just noticed the other day that my 03 with 56k on it has a loose rear window on the driver side. It doesn't rattle when it's up or down it just tilts about an inch towards the front or rear of the vehicle. Could this just be something down there that needs tightened up? The passenger side...

    Brake bleeding went terrible. What are my options?

    2003 Z71 Tahoe. 51,000 miles. I'm sure it was the original fluid. I'd planned to bleed the brakes, change the transfer case oil and check the front and rear differential oil today but only got around to bleeding the brakes. ALL of the bleeder screws were seized. I used PB blast and felt...

    Brake pedal squeaking

    No difference in the feel, but the brake pedal is squeaking when I step on it. It doesn't make any noise on the release. Seems to be acting up more in the cold weather. Very annoying. Any ideas on how to shut it up?

    Adding a light bar behind the grill?

    Looking to add a light bar, the very bright LED style, but do not want to put it outside of the Tahoe as I'm looking to keep everything stock. Is it possible to mount it behind the grill? I know it won't hit peak output as some will be reflected off of the grill but would like something to...

    Starter grinding intermittently

    2003 Tahoe Z71. 48,000 miles. I think the starter is acting up but not certain. Wanted opinions before I buy a new one and slap it on there. I've owned the vehicle for 3,000 miles and this just started within the last 500 miles. The temps are cooling off here into the 40's at night (if that...

    z71 bumper removal & painting

    My 03 has some rust bubbles on both the front and rear bumper near where the paint meets the plastic. They haven't rusted through the paint but it won't be long until they do so I'd like to get them before anymore damage occurs. Is getting the bumpers off and back on much of a hassle? I have...

    What's the recommeded oil for a 5.3?

    About time for my first oil change on my 2003 with 49,000 miles on it. The previous owner used oil from O'reilly auto but I'd like to use something different. I've always used Valvoline NON-synthetic in all my other vehicles with no issues. Is there a favorite/specific oil that the 5.3l V8's...

    1.5 ton or 3 ton floor jack?

    I have a 1.5 ton Jack and stands from Harbor Freight I used to use on my Pontiac Vibe. Now that it's gone I'm not sure if I should upgrade the jack or not? I purchased a pair of the 3 ton stands today for $20. Just don't know if the jack will lift the truck (jack is over at my rental home)...

    Are Tahoes/Yukons easy to steal? How to protect from theft?

    Has anyone had their 200-2006 Tahoe or Yukon stolen? I'm wondering if these are easy SUV's to steel since they are popular and parting one out would be profitable for those in that "business". I'd like to know what I can do to make sure mine doesn't end up in pieces? Is the factory theft...

    New owner...Picking up a 2003 Z71 Tahoe next week.

    I've been the owner of an 88 full size GMC Jimmy, 99 Tahoe Sport (I regret selling both) and soon to be the owner of a 2003 Tahoe with the z71 package. It is a 1 owner car. The owner is an old man who's getting too old to drive. He bought it at the local dealer where he lives, about 80 miles...
