    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    Just fixed the same on my2017 Tahoe last week. It is the Coolant Temperature Sensor located next to the thermostat housing. Just unplug it by mashing the tabs on the side and take it out with a 16 mm socket (might have been a 19mm). My fans would not shut off until it cooled down about 10...

    Oil pump questions

    I have read where the sending units are a problem on early and mid 2000s. Look on YouTube.

    Humming sound

    My '17 LT has a whine from the AC. Dealer replaced the compressor under warranty but did fix it. I can turn the AC off and it stops. Dealer said sense they replaced the compressor it couldn't possibly be that and don't know how to repair it. Said if GM came out with a fix, they would cover...

    Thoughts on buying 2019 Tahoe this December? Before 2020's come out?

    We have a '17 Tahoe LT with 45k and have been trying to trade with the local dealer for a demo '19. Salesman gave me an estimate last week and I went in to try to finalize it on Sat. They said the sale had ended on Fri. and they had gone up on the price $4900 and would not honor the deal we...

    Oil Pressure Readings on '17 Tahoe

    Yes, I am running 8 qts. of Mobil 1 full synthetic 2/20. I am also afraid that somewhere down a dusty, lonly road in the middle of nowhere, it will let go and we will be at the mercy of some small shop. We also pull a 3500 lb. travel trailer and am concerned if that might bring on the problems...

    Oil Pressure Readings on '17 Tahoe

    Thanks DWTahoe. If you have read my other posts, you will know about my screwing up and draining all the oil by mistake. I am concerned about the internal damage since I can still see some small flakes in the oil after refilling the engine and changing the filter. Drove it a 50 miles or so...

    Oil Pressure Readings on '17 Tahoe

    I have posted about loosing al lhe oil out of my '17 in another post. I am hoping I have dodged the bullit in that it is still running and seems to be doing fine after putting about 400 miles on it and changing the oil and filter twice. And a third filter as a little extra insurance. My...

    2018Tahoe Whining @ 1200-1500 RPM

    What you are hearing sounds like you are describing my '17 Tahoe. Have had it at the dealer several times. First time they replaced the heater fan motor. No change. They then decided it was the A/C compressor. No change. Then they kept it a few days and still no fix. I then found a...

    Don't Do What I Did- Tranny Flush on '17 Tahoe

    Thanks for all of the replies. All are good suggestions. Seems as if I live by Murphy's Law and I see him very often. Sometimes I think he lives in the spare bedroom. I really can't afford to trade it for a new or even demo right now. I think it would draw some raised eye brows if I tried...

    Don't Do What I Did- Tranny Flush on '17 Tahoe

    I think I started it 4 times trying to get it to pump fluid. Knocked each time showing no oil pressure. Probably 4 minutes total run time. I added new oil when I realized what I had done and changed the filter. Ran it for about 30 miles showing good oil pressure and changed the filter again...

    Don't Do What I Did- Tranny Flush on '17 Tahoe

    On my '12 Tahoe LT I changed the fluid and it was a piece of cake. Just remove the clip that holds the return line from the top right corner of the radiator, insert a piece of 3/8" tubing and place the end into a catch bucket. I marked the bucket at each gallon level so I could see about how...

    Transmission Fluid-type to use?

    I have two quarts sitting on my bench (AC Delco). One says Synthetic Dexron VI and the other does not say Synthetic. Just Dexron VI.

    Transmission Fluid-type to use?

    Going to flush the tranny tomorrow on '17 Tahoe. Manual just says Dexron VI and doesn't mention using Synthetic. Does that mean it is ok not to use Synthetic? Valvoline ok?
