    Bearing problem?

    Yeah, I meant it doesn't. I still have the filter. I waited to post anything because I was trying to understand what I was seeing and what I need to potentially get fixed. The mileage is now "25600" with 1700 hours on the engine. It is a CBP Tahoe.

    Bearing problem?

    Hello. I have a 2008 Tahoe 5.3. I changed the oil the other day and noticed a bunch of copper sparkling in the oil. Everything that I could find suggest it can be the piston bearings or main bearings, or the cam shaft bearing(?). I don't have any codes, and the oil pressure seems to be fine. The...

    Rear door lock actuators not unlocking

    Thanks. That helped clarify which fuses I needed to look at. I was looking at UNLCK2. But UNLCK1 looked ok.

    Rear door lock actuators not unlocking

    Thanks - that was so helpful... My other posts were in the "PPV/SSV" specific forums; I thought if it was in the general forum, more eyes would be on it and maybe more help. If violates posting policies, please delete it then.

    Rear door lock actuators not unlocking

    Hi all. I have a 2008 Tahoe CBP that I am trying to figure out why the rear door locks will not unlock. I had the same problem with the front actuators. I replaced both of the front actuators and that works now. But for the rear, I replaced the rear passenger actuator and when I tested it, it...

    Rear doors/windows/speaker questions

    Steering position sensor was bad. I was getting a Stabilitrak warning every time I moved the wheel left or right. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it on this forum but this is the part# that works: As for the dic switch trim, yep I couldn't find a matching piece (for a reasonable price). I...

    Rear doors/windows/speaker questions

    For anyone else who might have issues with the door locks not opening, mine seems to be the actuator (at least the driver's side). There is a lot of dust on the inside of the doors, and I imagine with the dust (and the age) all of the actuators are shot. That was not the only thing that was...

    Rear doors/windows/speaker questions

    Thanks for some suggestions - I am still working on some of the issues. I have been busy replacing most of the ball joints/cv axles up front. Even with 11k miles on it, most of the rubber was showing its age. Currently: For the rear windows, I ended up buying new switches and now I can...

    Rear doors/windows/speaker questions

    Hey all. So I am going through getting the rear passenger area squared away (windows, door locks, speakers). I have researched as best as I can on here and other sites, about how to get the everything working again in the rear. Here's what I have noticed: 1. The driver controls seem to be...

    Question about a Border Patrol 2008

    I pulled a Carfax on it before I bought it. It showed 11800 but only at the time of when it was auctioned. There were only 2 other entries in there from 2010/2011 for a service check at some shop. The mileage at those 2 points were around 2600 and 3500 miles. I tried to hook my Autel to it to...

    Question about a Border Patrol 2008

    Do you think if it is a former govt Tahoe, they would have to disclose that?

    Question about a Border Patrol 2008

    Thanks for the welcome! Here's some shots of it. No skid plates so now I am wondering what agency had it? In one of the pics of the CV, you can see almost out of frame, the 5100; I'm hoping it has a shim or the 5100 is set higher. Any suggestions for the paint chips?

    Question about a Border Patrol 2008

    Hello Everyone. I am in the process of buying a 2008 Tahoe with 12k on the odo, I think previously owned by the CBP. I've been researching about them for a bit. One thing that I noticed on the one I am purchasing is that it has 5100 Bilsteins? It looks like it has a bit of a lift but I am not...
