    Rattling front right wheel well

    Hey everyone I'm hearing a metallic rattling noise coming from the right front wheel area that seems to be getting worse. The sound only happens when going over small bumps in the road. Seems to be suspension related. Im going to jack it up the frame in that area and see if anything is loose. I...

    Heater fan randomly turns off

    Hello everyone. The other day after replacing the drivers side window motor on my 05 Tahoe I noticed my heater fan turning off for a few seconds and then comes back on and continues blowing like normal. It's got automatic controls. I'm also not sure if doing any work on the window motor is just...

    Large engine misfire at idle

    I noticed this morning my engine was misbehaving more so than usual. I noticed that when it idles and maybe off idle?...the engine randomly shudders or misfires. Feels like someone cycled the key very quickly. Almost feel like the engine is about to stall. So I bought some Berryman cleaner and...

    Greetings fellow Tahoe/Yukon fans. I am in need of some expert troubleshooting advice. My truck started making a new noise and was wondering if anybody here has experience figuring out where the noise is coming from exactly. I get a creaking/squeaking coming from the right front wheel-well...

    Vehicle pulls left or right when braking

    My 2005 Tahoe LT 4x4 seems possessed. Does anyone know what would cause the vehicle to pull randomly to either side when braking only? I realize that the primary cause is usually a bad caliper but if it randomly pulls to the left or right...what would that be caused by? It's very odd behavior...

    2005 Tahoe..Engine hours on DIC starting from 0

    Odd...for some reason (maybe not?) The hour meter in the DIC shows 8 hours. It used to show around 1560 or some other bigger number (supposedly legit). Anyone know what happened here? Is my PCM overwritten?.

    Cadillac Smooth ride suspension

    One of my colleagues at work has a Cadillac . 2007 model I believe. He says it is the best ride so far for him. He previously drove Tahoe's and Yukon's. My question is this. Can the Cadillac provide a ride experience better than the Auto-ride suspension which is found in the LT Tahoe's or...

    Left Turn Fuse Keeps Blowing

    Was wondering if someone can lead me looking in the right area for this issue? I know this has come up many times before by searching...just didn't want to hijack any prior threads. Also, the answers to each left turn fuse issue seems to be slightly different. I keep replacing the 10 amp left...

    Time to replace battery?

    I was looking at the date on my battery the other day. It's a Duracell AGM 34/78 from Sam's club bought in 2013. Just wondering if replacing an AGM at 5 years is prudent? I have read that AGM's last twice as long (10 years?) than a normal flooded lead acid battery. Just looking for opinions on...

    Brake performance issues

    As of late my truck seems to be gettting harder to stop. When coming to a stop light it feels like i am going to glide right into the back of the car in front if me. In other words it seems as if I need to press the brake pedal much harder (lack of boost?) than normal. The brakes feel like they...

    Hard to turn steering wheel in parking lot.

    A few years ago in put in a new power steering pump and it's just never worked well. It still has poor assistance when in parking lots and other low speed maneuvers. I'm about to spring for another pump but thought I would ask here first with all the experience and stuff. Does putting in GM...

    New CV Axle leaking

    Not 100% sure about this...but are the aftermarket cv axles supposed to leak any amount of grease at all? There is some black moly coming out both sides of the driver's outboard boot.

    Want to start a 6.0 HO project...

    Can someone point me in the right direction to find an 6.0 or 6.2 HO block? I test drove a 6.2 Maxx one time and loved the throttle response and torque. Can these be retrofitterd into a NBS engine bay? I'm assuming there are no factory compatible PCM's...could be wrong. Just looking for a stock...

    New air cleaner

    Just got a new air cleaner housing today from the dealership. I noticed the factory one under the hood was cracked at one of the screw locations. Possibly bypassing a bunch of dirt. Couldn't really figure out why the top part was cracked because I never saw it like that before and I never over...

    Oil pan gasket and pickup tube seal replacement

    Any tips on replacing these gaskets? What about access issues on a 4WD? I've seen the videos with people lowering the front diff without removing the front cv's. Doesn't seem right to do it that way as you can pull the joints apart and not know it.

    Engine not reaching operating temperature

    Ugh. Today was a real challenge for my Tahoe it seems. It was 32 F this morning and the coolant never reached half way on the gauge (about 175 F according to my scan tool). I drove about 3 miles, let it idle for about 15 min and it still didn't reach operating temperature. I even revd up the...

    5.3 random shudder at idle when warmed up

    Hey folks. With my 05 Tahoe I am starting to feel a random shudder from the engine while at idle. I can feel it everywhere. Makes the dash shake a bit each time it happens. Definitely random in nature and only happens after it is warmed up. Engine runs smooth when starting from cold in the...

    Drivetrain roughness on acceleration in 4wd

    2wd acceleration is smooth. Put it into Auto or 4wd and acceleration is rough. Feels like something is not balanced right. I did replace both u joints for the front driveshaft a year ago. Also replaced both front cv shafts 6 months ago. Any pointers? Was thinking I might need to rotate the front...

    Tapping sound when turning wheel left and right.

    Hello guys. Can someone help me narrow down a noise I hear when going about 20mph. The sound is a rapping or tapping sound coming from left wheel well area. I can get it to make the noise by going slow and quickly jerking the steering wheel back and forth a short distance. It sounds like metal...

    Hood rattle - bouncing fix

    Ever since buying my 2005 Tahoe the hood seemed to be loose and banging around a bit. It moved up and down a 1/4 inch or so while driving. Kind of annoying. You could see it loose looking out at the hood while seated in the drivers seat. I had many attempts at adjusting the two bumper screws...

    2002-2006 Factory Remote Start

    I was wondering if anyone had any info on the remote start system GM had available back in the day for (2002-2006?) full size pickups. I remember it was only for a short time and required pulling teeth from the dealer to get it. It was more than likely a re-branded retail kit like AutoStart or...

    Oil pressure fluctuating

    I have been seeing some weird oil pressure gauge fluctuations lately. Recently I changed the oil pressure sensor at the back of the block by the camshaft sensor. Before I was getting 40 -70 psi and now I am getting 35-55 PSI and the pressure is going up and down 10 or so PSI when rpms are held...

    Inner tie rod play

    I was changing my brothers 2008 Tahoe 2WD outer tie rods the other day. I noticed a few millimeters play from the inner tie rods. Was wondering if this is normal from your experience? Wouldn't that make alignment difficult ? He just had a rebuilt Cardone rack and pinion installed.
