    Battery drain on a 99 Tahoe

    Yes. When I bought my 97 Yukon a few years ago it had had the same issue so the previous owner disconnected them :2cents::D

    Battery drain on a 99 Tahoe

    I'll have a spin on the wheel and say' Maybe the makeup light in the sun visor mirror! If your model has those. The switch and cover wear so it switches its self on causing a drain. :fishing1:

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Hi I broke a door handle off 1 morning a wee while ago. A GM replacement is $159.00 from Rock Auto delivered to me here in N.Z. Better to go with genuine? As I see some of the other makes are considerably cheaper. Just in the process of stripping the panel off to have a look to see if there is...

    Its a bigger climb back out of here tomorrow. About a 1/10th gradient so ill look at everything again when i get home. You cant drive out of here in a car with cooling issues so if there is an issue i should be able to see evidence of it.

    Thanks Tony That is what I'm thinking as its not overheating or fuming and oil is looking good. I think the sludge in the cap is what got sucked through from the refill bottle on the drive over.Not a bad Saturday afternoon here for an Autumn day. Cool and still. Lol your type of weather!

    I had a wee race up a stretch of road with a big road bike recently. I wound her up to 4500rpm between gear changes and pulled up to around 95mph. I wonder if that cleared the block of some build up as She does spend a bit of time parked up in the garage.

    Hi how are ya's I just did a run over here to the family beach house last night. About 60 miles. Truck ran sweet! They have dropped the speed limit on this bit of open road to 50mph and 35mph once you reach the hill country/summit road. So that being said i was doing about 1500 rpm on the flat...

    You are so right! I think some of these guys who have been doing it for so long just get tired and it becomes just 1 job after another. Am really keen to see how this young guy goes when i have saved enough for the next job!

    Yes me to. I have had this talk before and know where it leads. It was my fault or it is how i clean my vehicle. Or i should not use a chamois. Is just disappointment. I'm not faulting his workmanship but his care. Maybe we become to attached! I like to look after my shit so maybe I should...

    Thanks Tony Yes it has really changed the look of her for the good. It was the 1 job that needed doing as soon as i bought it. As usual though it has taken 3 years to get to it! The work has come at a cost though. As per usual,it has been something that has happened a couple of times to my...

    New day, new noise. What’s this grinding noise while driving? Not while braking.

    What year is your vehicle/or miles? 25mph - 30mph off the gas coasting with a slight sound of rubbing could be wear in the transfer case. Chain or bearing depending on what its running.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Did mine a while ago. A frame or something to hang the door from will make it easier. Pretty satisfying once you get it back together! Nice work! Always a fun job and sometimes you end up with spare screws. And or less depending on how many you lose in the body dropping them down the back of...
