    HVAC weird...

    Hello All, I discovered that my passenger side blend door actuator module was bad. I went ahead and replaced the module for the driver's side as it is easy - that went well and works great. However, when I took the passenger side air actuator out, a total pain, and installed a new one, I still...

    Slight whistle or whine

    So, it got pretty cold here, single digits. Went out to start my Tahoe and it made a nasty noise when starting, cannot exactly say what it was but it seemed "grumpy." It started right up but I am noticing a slight whistle or almost a little or few whines when I apply gas around the 1000-2000 RPM...

    Hood idea

    Hey guys, So, my truck is not in best shape in the world, 180k plus now. The interior needs new carpet, the driver's side was hit and not repaired well, but well enough, drivers door still has two large dents from the previous owners lack of care in that incident. Here is the deal, I love it...

    Driving me nuts!

    Okay, I don't drive my Tahoe much any longer as getting a CIVIC for daily driving - drive 250 miles a day. 1. My wife's power seat heater stopped working abruptly - okay whatever. 2. I got in the truck today, my knee was hurting and hit the recline button and broke it clean off - ordered a new...

    Smoking

    Hello All, My Tahoe has 173763 miles on it. Since I bought it I have noticed some lifter click, heard it was pretty typical of these trucks, never paid it any mind. I recently moved, didn’t tow anything but did make short trips. I noticed after letting the truck sit for a couple of days upon...

    Buttons are stuck

    Hey Guys, So this has been driving me crazy. I have the automatic climate control and the buttons for "Auto," and the button to change the direction of air stick! I press them in and they stick. It's almost like there they have lost the rubber behind them - not sure. Where can I get this...

    Keeping cold

    I just noticed that the rear heat is not working in my 04 Tahoe Z71. When I replaced all the hoses and water pump and thermostat I had to burp the system, then drive it around a while and it started coming out hot. I have add some antifreeze here and there when I noticed it was a little below...

    BIG THREE DONE!

    Hello All, I did the BIG 3 today. It was an interesting project. Used a kit I ordered from Amazon and had about 8 inches of wire left from 9 feet. I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029LDIQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and...

    Leaks

    Hey guys, I am trying to figure out what I need. I have 2004 Tahoe Z71 - I have two lines that run underneath my truck to what looks like the radiator. They are both leaking...and its getting worse. I contacted 1aauto and they said they do not carry these lines. Does anyone have part numbers...

    Shifty Mirrors

    Hello All, I have a 2004 Tahoe Z71. Since installing working power mirrors I have noticed - even with the curb assist off in the DIC - they will move down when I put the key in, or even move up, or move around. It is getting very irritating. I have tried disconnecting the battery to reset...

    A rusty friend

    I have some light surface rust forming on the outer corner of my drivers side door. I have ordered a can of duplicolor paint. I plan on using a wire wheel to knock all the rust off. What should I spray on to arrest the rust before applying the touchup paint? I want to stop this stuff dead in its...

    About to do the rear wiper...I think.

    As is the case with these trucks I am finding, grounding can be an issue. (Doing the big three in about a week, waiting on wire) My rear wiper makes noise but nothing happens. I heard you can try and ground them and many times they work, how would I ground it exactly? From the body of the...

    Battery?

    Hey folks, 2004 Tahoe Z71 here. About to do the BIG 3. However, my battery tray is pretty crusty and I don't have any hold down for the battery. It came that way. Does anyone have part numbers or perhaps and aftermarket setup that works better? I hate the idea of my battery sliding around and I...

    Slap, Slap!

    Hey Guys, So I just installed a new wiper motor, transmission, and arms on my 2004 Tahoe. All parts matched up like the old one. However, now I am the wipers are slapping the cowl! They return to where I set them when off, but they sweep through and hit the cowl while operating. Any ideas?

    I think my mirrors are alive!

    Okay folks, I recently replaced both my mirrors with aftermarket ones from 1aauto on my 04 tahoe Z71. They were actually the same ones that were on the truck - apparently they had been replaced in the past. I believe it came with the "fancy," mirrors, curb lighting, power fold, and even turn...

    Axles...magic?

    Hey Guys, I don't really have the time or I would have done it myself. I had new from CV axles installed in my 04 tahoe Z71. I had a boot flapping and I was able to get a pair from 1aauto for pretty cheap. Picked up the truck today and the steering seems tighter, it seems to handle better, and...

    Power seat weirdness with pictures - this truck is driving me bonkers

    This is a 2004Tahoe. It has heated seats, lumbar adjustor, the works when it comes to the seats. When we first bought it the drivers seat was totally dead. The lot looked into it and said that it was a ground. Once “fixed,” theheated seat section started working, the lumbar came to life, and the...

    Strange noise...

    I know its next to impossible to diagnose noise over the internet without a good example – maybe I will make a video if I can ever get the time. When I first start my Tahoe I can hear a loud grumbling in the back, it sounds like vibration but also a grabbing noise. Does this sound like anything...

    Ouch, that's shocking!

    Hey guys, So, I have changed a bunch of parts as of recent. Stereo, mirrors, alternator just to name a few. Also did the cooling system as well, hoses water pump, pulleys, belts you name it. Ha. I noticed after I installed the new alternator and mirrors that when I exit the truck, I am getting...

    Tires, sensors, door panels, oh my!

    Hello All! So I got off work early today and I went and had a new muffler put on my Tahoe, the old one was bad – not super cheap but it sounds nice. Magnaflow! I have to replace the driver side mirror, and since the cost is low for a pair I am doing both mirrors. I took both door panels off...

    Power mirrors huh?

    Okay guys I chatted with GM and I also used an online VIN decoder on my car. It says my 2004 Tahoe came with power folding mirrors with the turn signals and the ground illum. My mirrors are basic. I am replacing one because someone hit my drivers side one. All I have is wires for the motors...

    Belt issue

    So I was got my 2004 Tahoe Z71 all back together from the coolant flush and replacing all the hoses, camps, pulleys, and belts. Started her up and I noticed the main belt looked a little "funny." I gave it some gas and it start squeeling like crazy. This was a new delco belt from Amazon...

    Mirror…Mirror or not

    Hey Folks, So I got my 2004 Tahoe Z71’s cooling system working again and drove to Kroger. When I came out (first drive on new cooling system) someone had hit my drivers side mirror! :biggun:The glass was out of it pretty much and the motors were broken out of their casing. I tried to repair the...

    Heater core woe - but stuff is off now!

    Okay Guys, Here is a picture of what I have. I am considering hooking the heater hose up the end and just not using a connector – is that safe? i am thinking about running the hose up on them over the lip and securing it on the other end. A Dorman 800-403 and 409 do not work. What could I use...

    Hopefully my last thermostat question

    Sorry guys, just trying to do this right: I just noticed my water pump came with a paper gasket and the o-ring for the thermostat. Do I use both? Or choose one? I am thinking both with a touch of rtv on both sides of the gasket. Using antiseize on all the bolts too. I will probably never have...
