after months of looking I finally bought a tahoe, 2004 Z71 with 110k. not in the color I wanted but it was only $2500. after a couple days of driving I've noticed a bunch of small things about it. because this is my first ever GM vehicle I have tons of dumb questions and concerns. so any help would be much appreciated.
has a check engine light on for p0171 and p0174 and abs light that only comes. on when the truck is moving
cluster speedo sometimes works and oil doesn't work at all. 1 led appears to be out and PRND321 is dim.
the radio makes a noise like if I'm inserting a cd and it's trying to read it. this happens every time I start the car and it happens for about 20 seconds. also the little cd light is blinking all the time
when I turn on the rear air, it makes a loud noise like if the fan it no good.
the parking brake doesn't do a dam thing. it has no resistance when stepped on and I have to pull it up by hand.
steering wheel make a noise like if something is broken when fully locked, has about a 2-3 inches of play in it, only the right hand buttons work and none light up.
has hard start problems after adding gas.
the driver side door is sagging. it looks like the hinges are loose. I have to lift the door to close it. doesn't lock with the remote or using the switch on the door. heated seats works when it wants and only the back gets hot.
gas cover is loose and swings open whenever it wants.
other than those things I noticed I'm. still gonna change all the fluids and plugs/wires and filters ect. I plan on keeping this truck till the wheels fall off. it will be primarily a family vehicle for probably the next 3-6 months then will be my work truck
