Looks like a space ship! What's going on here?? Transfer case??A local junk yard had a 50% off everything sale running this weekend. So, I went there and bought everything$200 for everything tax included. There were a couple of options for the diff, I picked up the one with the smallest backlashView attachment 349696

Bingo!Front diff.
I heard nobody makes them for the Tahoes, just the metal ones that need to be welded in. Maybe others have a different answer though.Looking for another bit of information. I am looking for a temporary fix on my rusted rocker panels, my plan to get them repaired has to be put off for a year or so due to home repairs that are needed. I am looking for a plastic slip on rocker cover. I found that bushwacker makes them for the silverado but the fitment says negative for the Tahoe. Any help or leads would be helpful, Thanks!
That seems to be the case, I've scoured the internet looking for something/anything...no luck. Guess I'll stick with the rusty panels until I can fix it correctly.I heard nobody makes them for the Tahoes, just the metal ones that need to be welded in. Maybe others have a different answer though.
I’m angry you couldn’t find the plastic ones and now you have to look at rust for a year. I understand the priorities thing 100%.@Rocket Man why the angry reaction? Gotta take care of the kids and animals before the truck gets any love (even though I want to be selfish and fix it above all else lol)
Me too. Great channel. I’m always looking for his next Tahoe (Tahiti) video. Good stuff. And I’m proud when I see him recommending something I’ve already done. Lol.Love his channel.

Last pic has the part number(s).
Way cheaper to buy directly from the dealer.
Wait a minute…the drinker side and the drunker side? Liquor is quicker?Oil change today at 215,430k. About 3-3.5oz in the catch can after a 3,200 mile interval.
View attachment 349990 Replaced with AC Delco full synthetic, and the Wix extended filter (51522XP). While I was at the shop, told my buddy how she’s been making a clunking noise from the drinker side, front when I go over speed bumps, and a few other times driving (I go very slowly over, but another 1-2 mph, and she clunks…) so we found after the UCA & lower ball joint was done, and I had it aligned, one of the UCA bolts was pretty damn loose. We tightened up all, on both sides to super-gutentight spec, and not only is the clunk gone, but also the squeak under extension in the driver side I’ve been chasing for like 2 years..! Wahoo!
Got home and finally decided to pull the drinker side mirror, as the led arrow went out a while back. This is an aftermarket mirror, so figured it was just a pos.. well, last week, after washing her, the led started working again, so I knew it was corrosion, or some other wiring issue. I tested the light, and determined it was in the connector, then saw the corrosion when I pulled the plug, on the aftermarket side of course.
So I decided to scrape it off with a pick, and clean with QD spray, as I couldn’t really get a wire brush in there. Finished with some dielectric grease, and she’s good to go.

I was pretty proud of myself, and then about 2 miles down the road, it stopped working again. oh well, the replacement was already here, so I swapped it out. It was a better quality part than the previous one anyway. I also managed to crack and break the mirror, pulling it off the second time. Oh well. All set again..
