    Noise after differential fluid change?

    Hey guys we have a 2007 LT 4WD and after I changed the front and rear differential fluid the Tahoe has a whine only when cold. After it's driven for a few miles it goes away. Noise is speed dependent and almost sounds like when you drive a manual trans in reverse. Like that high pitched siren...

    Has anyone installed a permanent fuel pressure gauge?

    Like one of these? It would be helpful in diagnosing this hot soak starting issue I'm having. Nice to install a gauge on the rail that can stay there and just pop the hood to check it each time we start the vehicle to see what's happening when we get the intermittent long crank...

    Transfer case whining?

    Hey guys, 2007 Tahoe LT 4WD we have a very faint whining noise when rolling. Almost like an old police siren. Only happens when cold like for the first few miles. This morning I drove with windows down, got it up to 30mph and shifted to neutral. Volume/pitch of the whine is totally dependent on...

    2007 Tahoe power seats gears stripped/broken teeth?

    During forward & backward operation the motor spins no problem and the seat moves back & forth but it's jerky and will stop and start moving during operation. It's not smooth either it's like rough and crunchy. I'm thinking the gears that move the seat along the threaded rods are either stripped...

    Starting issue

    Hey guys 99% of the time our 2007 Tahoe starts up just fine, but once in a blue moon either we turn the key and nothing happens or it starts and the starter doesn't disengage after engine is running (engine turns over and starter continues to crank). It's happened 3 times in the 2.5 years we've...

    Upper ball joints shot?

    Had the 2007 Tahoe state inspected yesterday and the mechanic feels that the upper ball joints need to be replaced. Mileage is currently 134K. Is this a common problem/good possibility or is the mechanic trying to pull one over on me? Part of me wants to get a second opinion (more $ of course)...

    Service 4 wheel drive

    Well this morning I changed the T-case fluid which was simple, then I took it out for a test drive and switched to auto and then 4 high. Everything seemed fine, no strange symptoms or noises. I looked down at the display and it read service 4 wheel drive system. There was no CEL or anything. The...

    In person BB tune review

    Took the 200 mile drive down to meet Justin in person for a tune last week. He was very nice and professional. Funniest part was that he had already tuned our truck about 9 months prior for the previous owner! I had no idea it was tuned when we bought it. As soon as he plugged into the OBD port...

    Reducing slop - 2007 Tahoe

    I'd like to get rid of the super soft, sloppy feeling of the suspension. Not looking for a stiff/harsh ride, just want to stiffen things up a tiny bit so the truck doesn't feel like a floating boat. Currently have Bilstein shocks and everything else is completely stock. Don't want to raise or...

    Looking to get some new rims for our 2007 Tahoe. I really like the Pro Comp series 39 20x9, 6x5.5, offset 0, backspace 4.75.

    Mag-Hytec rear diff cover 2007 Tahoe?

    Is anybody using the GM 10-8.5 Mag-Hytec rear diff cover on their Tahoe? The only thing I'm concerned about is fitment really.. Does it fit with the factory rear sway bar in place? Doesn't look like there's too much clearance back there. Thank you!
