Replaced the drivers door latch mechanism and outside handle. tried to figure out the rear barn door removal. didn't have much luck but did end up buying a special hing pin removal tool. hopefullt it'll do the trick. The dent on the ogiginal door bugs me.
Changed the shift solinoids amd the VSS, also ran down the harness and found a diconnected connector. not sure what all did it it but now it shifts like a new rig. The cluster I ended up just going down to the pull and pay and searched for one with the same mileage. finally found one and it...
Yep. Z71. It had some issues but I've been able to correct them so far. Only thing left now is a fuel pump and sending unit. Pump works but the sending unit isn't talking nice to the fuel gauge.
Well this weekend I fixed my gauge issues, fixed my transmission shift problem, replaced the broken door handle, fixed the busted grill , installed the brush guard, shampooed the interior, and did the wheel speed sensors on my 2000 Z71 Tahoe.
Nice productive weekend.
so I noticed on my new to me Tahoe that the bottom of the grill was flopping around so pulled it off this morning and noticed that the bottom had no screws. I then noticed that there isn't a place to clip or screw it. I'm thinking that I'm missing some kind of a header bar. Here's a pic. What...
My bet would be the shift solenoid inside. I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a bad connection on the wiring harness. But I was getting a service engine light and the speedometer wasn't functioning.
If you end up doing the shift solenoid inside I'd suggest that you get both. From...
Well I changed the 2 shift selinoids and it was still not shifting so I started checking other things. Turns out that there was a wire that for some reason was not plugged in at the harness sitting on top of the t-case. I found the female end that was on the harness and bingo!! I fixed several...
Yeah, I was thinking that if there is an in line short maybe coming off the VSS or in the harness line it may cause some weird crap elsewhere. I am no mechanic by any means but I was just wondering and hoping it's something much simpler than a 2k transmission build.
I'm hopeful that the shift...
I just purchased a 2000 Tahoe z71 knowing that it had a few issues. I have done a bit of research and there are a few right ups about a possible short causing issues with both transmission shifting as well as instrument cluster issues. What is a little strange is that the bottom portion (Oil...
Yeah it really is. That's why I went ahead and picked it up even though it had a few issues. I got the shift solenoids today so I'm hoping to get them installed after work tomorrow. Having some trouble finding a place to do the stepper motor(s). From what I can tell so far it seems like the...
Thanks for the welcome, I'm not real sure what a stepper motor is but I will look into it. Is it common for more than one to go bad at a time or is there just one for multiple gauges? Appeciate the insight!
I posted on the sister site and it was suggested to head on over here.
Just wanted to pop in and say hey.
New to the site. I just picked up a 2000 z71 for a song, but it does have a few issues that I'm trying to work through. The transmission doesn't want to shift up from 2nd gear ( I'm...
