In search of a 2 door Tahoe LT...
I might be considering selling my '99 LS Z71 2-door Tahoe in the future. I bought it in 2019 with 54k miles from Georgia and have babied it. It now has 114k miles and I have service it religiously. I have performed a lot of the maintenance / repair items that these trucks need by 100k...- Colorado Yeti

VENTING!!! Rip-off Labor rates!
Update. Almost $1000 later, I received the truck back and the fuel gauge still does not work. It does the same thing as when I took it back in. The shop charged me $220/hr to not fix the original problem. Needless to say, I am absolutely furious and am kicking myself for not doing the job...- Colorado Yeti

Fuel Sender Unit Ohms
Just spent almost $1000 to have the fuel sender unit replaced by some shady shop in my 2-door Tahoe and they did not fix the problem. Guage reads 1/2 full all the time. Does anyone know what the ohms range should be so I can bench test my old sending unit? Some of the older chevy trucks were...- Colorado Yeti

VENTING!!! Rip-off Labor rates!
I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe 2-door that is my pride and joy. I experienced the dreaded gas gauge issue and took it into a supposedly local reputable shop. I had already replaced the air stepper (e.g. gas gauge) in the instrument cluster. They ran some diagnostics and told me the sender unit in...- Colorado Yeti

Fuel Gauge Stopped Working
My fuel gauge in my 2-door 1999 Tahoe stopped working. I reads full no matter what. I am quite sure it is the gauge because I just replaced the fuel pump / sender unit a couple of years ago with a high quality Napa unit. And when I slam the door, sometimes it will read correctly briefly. I...- Colorado Yeti

34"of Snow Ain't Nothing
I actually love Jeeps, especially the old AMC CJ's. Here's my '76 CJ7 Renegade with 401 AMC V-8 and a T-18 granny 4-speed. 40,000 miles, all original except the 400 hp engine (that looks completely like the stock 304). It is no parking lot queen and gets plenty of trail time here in Colorado...- Colorado Yeti

34"of Snow Ain't Nothing
We just received 34"+ of very heavy wet snow at my house. I live in a neighborhood that is in a canyon and only has two steep roads to get out to town. I have a completely stock 2-door 99 Tahoe Z-71 with chains for all four corners. My Tahoe was the only vehicle that was making it out of...- Colorado Yeti

Towing Package Question
Well done sir. I found the other end of the 10 g orange wire wrapped in a wire loom in the engine compartment behind the brake vacuum booster next to the wiper motor. It was hidden well. It even had a ring terminal on the end so I could connect it to the fuse block terminal stud with an 8mm nut.- Colorado Yeti

Towing Package Question
We are getting ready to buy a small camping trailer which I am going to pull with my '99 2-door Tahoe. The truck only has 80,000 miles and has never been modified. It has the heavy-duty factory towing package and I just installed a new 7-blade trailer connector for the wiring. All the wiring...- Colorado Yeti

Crankshaft / Camshaft Sensor Code - P1345
Replaced both the camshaft and crankshaft sensor. Did not fix the code so I took it to the Chevy dealer. They ran the code, re-set the timing and it went away. Cost $260 for everything. Guess that's not too terrible.- Colorado Yeti

Crankshaft / Camshaft Sensor Code - P1345
I have the dreaded P-1345 OBD II code on my 99 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.7 liter gasoline V-8. The truck has ~ 72,000 miles on it and I have not done any work recently on the engine. It runs flawlessly. I reset the code and popos right back on after a few seconds. I disconnected the battery...- Colorado Yeti

Freshly Detailed & Waxed!
Just spend 3 hours washing, detailing and waxing my 99 Z-Z1 Tahoe after coming back from the Canyonlands in Utah. It was filthy. Still looks pretty nice for 21 year old truck.- Colorado Yeti
