    Sunroof Shade

    I am having to replace the headliner on the sunshade on my 2002 Chevy Tahoe Z71 due to rain leaks. I have cleared the two drain holes at the front end of the sunroof, but can not seem to find the 2 in the back that several people have said exists. Can anyone confirm that there are in fact four...

    How long did your starter last?

    Original starter still working fine at 275k miles.

    Finally decided to order Goodridge brake hoses with 2" extension due to my 2" front lift. Should be getting them in a couple of weeks.

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    Just curious, what brand and part number did you install for the stainless braided hoses? For some reason, the StopTech hose for my 2002 Tahoe, Z71, 4WD only works if the truck came with limited slip differential. Mine has a locking differential and the hose would not screw on to the solid...

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    I am still trying to find someone who tried to install front Stoptech hoses and was told they won't fit because they have a locking differential. Really would like to know the brand and part number of stainless steel reinforced hoses that fit a 2002 Tahoe 4WD with a locking differential.

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    I should have said stainless steel reinforced hoses. I understand the following is why to use SS reinforced hoses: Why braided brake lines? The intent of braided stainless steel brake lines is to improve brake system effectiveness and longevity as compared to an equivalent system fitted with...

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    I did call buybrakes.com. They could not help, but did refer me to Crown Performance who I am working with now.

    Transmission Coolers

    Sorry for the late reply. I did not bypass the radiator. I hooked up the same hoses that went to the old transmission cooler. I did mount it so that both inlet & outlet hoses feed from the top, not the bottom. I followed the instructions for how to mount it shown in this YouTube video: . So...

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    I just installed all new Z36 Power Stop brake rotors, calipers & pads on my 2002 Tahoe Z71, 4WD. I also tried to install Stop Tech stainless steel brake hoses on the front (Part #: 950.66001). My mechanic could not get them to connect (the rear ones did - Part #: 950.66500). I just called...

    Transmission Coolers

    I added a TruCool 40k and a Champion radiator with dual electric fans to my 2002 Z71 Tahoe 5.3l. In 100 degree Houston heat, transmission temp runs at 150 degrees and water temp 205 degrees. At 80 degrees, transmission runs at 130 degrees. BTW, I replaced my instrument cluster with a 2001 Yukon...

    2006 gmc yukon xl slt plus gauge cluster.

    For what it is worth, I swapped an instrument cluster from a 2001 Yukon Denali into my 2002 Z71 Tahoe to get the transmission temp guage. It just plugged in and works fine. I also paid $100 to correct the mileage, added green LEDs, painted the needles bright orange and swapped the voltage...

    High Mileage Invest Money Or Not?

    Forgot to mention that I also added Bilstein 5100 shocks and Bilstein rear springs and a Flowmaster 50 exhaust.

    High Mileage Invest Money Or Not?

    I have made the decision to keep repairing my 2002 Z71 Tahoe with over 260k miles. Even if someday I need to replace the engine, it still makes sense vs the cost of even a late model used Tahoe. I have owned it since new and it still runs like new. Have replaced the transmission, water pump...

    Tru-Cool Max 40k Transmission Cooler

    I used the original lines and connected the cooler to them using the rubber hoses provided. Also attached the cooler by just drilling a couple of holes and using the small brackets provided. No need to buy additional brackets. Installed it with the input and output on top.
