    '00 Tahoe LS Panel lights only half working - SOLVED

    Ever since I've had the truck, as far as I can remember, the left half of the instrument panel's dash lighting hasn't worked. IIRC, only things on that side are the tach and half the speedo, so no big deal. I am in the process of LED upgrades for the outside lights, and thought why not go LED...

    Anyone need an LM487 flasher unit? FOUND A NEW HOME!

    If anyone has use for an LM487 flasher, let me know. I think it fits on the 03-07, but I KNOW for a fact it does not fit on a 00 Tahoe LS. The 487 is rectangular, and correct one for the 00 Tahoe is an EP29(thanks to Fless for that info). If anyone has use for one, or knows someone who does...

    2000 Tahoe LS Hyperflash after LED installation - SOLVED

    I have read all of these threads on hyper Flash, and all of them relate to putting in an LM487 Flash replacement. However, on my 2000 Tahoe LS, LM487 will not fit. I have a square flasher rather than a rectangular one that the 487 is. Apparently the apparently the auto part stores around here do...

    Replacement Headlight/Turn signal lenses

    As I'm changing over from the standard incandescent bulbs, I discovered that my turn/DTR lens assy's on both sides are full of water. i know from experience this is not unusual, so I was going to order replacements, but got to wondering: Are there any later year assemblies that would be a...

    '00 Tahoe LS console lid replacement?

    I've managed to confuse myself, apparently. I ordered a replacement console lid for my '00 Hoe. The one in the truck has a side hinge, opening from the dr. side toward the pass. side. The replacement part that came is is a rear hinge for what appears to be a between the seats pull-down...

    Dr side mirror peeling?

    Top of the mirror, looks like film is peeling but I cannot find any edge. It's almost like it's peeling underneath the outpost glass. Open to any ideas . . . .

    2000 Tahoe inside/outside air door goes bump bump bump

    Ever since we had the polar plunge here in Kansas a few weeks ago, there's been a bump/bump/bump/bump regular tapping coming from the passenger side under the dash. It took a while to reason out what was happening, but I think I've got the location and parts figured out, I just don't know which...

    2000 Tahoe LS heat/air duct noise

    I don't know how else to categorize it, sorry. In the last few days, the Tahoe has developed a new noise in the dash that's related to the heat/cool system. I feel certain it has something to do with a vacuum pot or solenoid somewhere, but my wife "cleaned up a little" not too long ago, and I...

    Fuel gauge reset after fuel pump replace & A/C fill ??

    this is on a 2000 Tahoe LS. I'll start with fuel gauge/fuel pump. I recently replaced the fuel pump but now the gauge does not show full when it is. From what I have read, there is some sort of reset procedure to go through. I'm still researching and may find the answer but thought I'd probe...

    Sputtering and coughing

    Once again, I must beseech the fountain of knowledge for assistance. On Tues. this week, I drove the Tahoe from the east side to the west side with no trouble at all. Drove a bit on the west side, made one stop, and then it happened. When I left the last stop, all of a sudden the 'hoe...

    Mstr Cyl/brake ??(wearing stupid hat)

    First, thanks to everyone who answered my A/C questions. Now, of course, the 'Hoe has another issue. I've done brakes a long time, so I'm not unfamiliar with repair/replacement. However, I hadn't noticed my master cylinder getting low on fluid until the pedal seemed to travel a little too far...

    A/C cycling-recharge question

    This is probably a dumb question, but - it's summertime in Kansas and hot. When the A/C is running on MAX(inside air), the compressor cycles on/off but does seem to cool after driving for a bit. My other vehicle(not GM) does not follow that cycle unless it's low on Freon. If the other vehicle...

    Airbag light goes on/off randomly

    OK, here's the latest weirdness - but first some background. The ABS and Airbag lights have always been on since I've owned the truck. I was able to find the info I needed to know here on the forum, and checked under the hood. IIRC, the relays for both the ABS & Airbag were NOT in their...

    Is a '97 C2500 same/similar to 'Hoes/Yukons?

    I'm looking at a 97 Silverado C2500 but was wondering if they're similar to the Tahoe/Yukon group? I have a 2000 Tahoe LS and think they're somewhat similar, but maybe not . . . Is there a Silverado forum that's as good as our forum here? Any guidance/help/suggestions welcomed.

    2000 'Hoe shift indicator/odometer gone blank

    This has happened before from time to time, but now it seems to have left the building. In prior occurrences, I was able to tap on the faceplate and it would come back on, but no amount of tapping or cussing seems to be working now. I am guessing the first probability is the screen is shot...

    Security light pops on intermittently

    OK, this is one of those things that happened that made me think I was crazy, but I saw it happen a couple of times, so I'm not totally nuts - well about this, anyway. . . . :confused: Sometimes, when driving or setting still running, the security light will come on for a few seconds, then go...

    Replacing fog lights

    Anyone have any take-off fog lights from a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe LS? The lenses on mine are busted out(I know, shocking isn't it? :rolleyes:) and I want to replace them with working units. I'm open to aftermarket items as long as they fit. I thought about LEDs but decided against them, too...

    My 'Hoe smells like gas

    OK, here's the newest weirdness. After filling the tank, there is a distinct gasoline smell for a day or so, until it burns some out of the tank. It's raw gas smell, not burned, and it only happens upon fill-up. Once the needle starts to move, the smell goes away. I realize that the...

    Radio replacement in '00 Hoe LS

    I want to replace my existing factory non-Bose w/subwoofer unit. I don't need anything too fancy, but do want Bluetooth. Are there any replacement units that are a simple swap out for the original? FWIW, my Hoe is a NBS if that matters. TIA

    Really dumb ??'s about front/rear AC systems

    OK, I know this sounds stupid, but this truck is the first one I've had that has two blower systems. I understand how it all works - what I'm wondering is; is there one compressor and 2 blowers? 2 compressors? I think I understand that it's 1 compressor, 2 blowers, but I thought I'd better...

    Noise in 4wd when on Auto4WD

    Generally, I run around town in 2wd this time of year. Very little snow or ice to worry about in Kansas in June. Every once in a while I will operate the Auto4wd selector - more than anything, just to play with the buttons that don't get played with often, but as a test as well. I have noticed...

    Good body repair stuff

    I'm about to embark on some rust repair on car #2. The lower parts of the door sills, and a couple of other places on the sides, as well as some rusted out holes behind the front wheels require dusting off of the old body repair skills, but that's been some time ago. I hope things have...

    'Hoe throwing spark codes

    The Hoe has thrown spark codes a couple of times recently. Once it was spark misfire on #1, then yesterday, it was misfire on #7. This is NOT a regular occurrence, and does not happen with any frequency or with any operation or function that I've been able to pinpoint yet. Also, I cannot tell...

    '00 Tahoe LS ABS/Airbag lights/modules

    The ABS and ABg relay/modules(whatever they're called) were removed before I got the vehicle. From what I've read, I believe that the ABS modules are generally removed because of ABS hub problems, etc., but other than killing off the ABS doesn't affect the driveability. Also, again from...

    12v switchable tap location?

    I need to add a 12v power outlet that will switch on/off with the vehicle. Anyone have any suggestions for a good place inside the cabin to find a switched 12v tap location?
