    Complete Suspension Rebuild

    Hey All, So my 2000 Tahoe Limited is in desperate need of a suspension overhaul. The truck is all original with 208K miles on it. I've done a ton of work not that long ago, honestly it runs really well. But the steering wanders pretty badly and it rattles in the front over any bump. Many of...

    Theft Deterrent Options?

    Lately, in my neighborhood there has been an up tick in car thefts, mostly larger vehicles such as trucks and SUV's. Currently, my OBS is blocked in by my daily driver, a 2003 Saab. But the Saab is for sale, and I may start using the Tahoe as the daily again. While it likely isn't the most...

    Feeling Accomplished

    I know many others do their own work as well. But I'm feeling rather accomplished from the work done on my Limited. The truck has 206k on it, original engine and transmission. It had been sitting due to an oil leak at the front end of the pan. I was having trouble getting it to seal. Well...

    Sanity Check on Timing

    00 Limited, had 206K on it. Had it taken apart, the old chain had a lot of slop in it. This new one has pretty much no slop. The other one had like .5-.75'' of slack when it was on. I have a feeling I may need to get my timing checked with this new one ha ha Anyways, just looking for a...

    RTV on Gasket?

    Historically with a gasket like this I've used a thin layer of RTV on each side when assembling. However, I'm questioning the necessity of this. The picture is the water pump gasket, but the timing cover gasket is similar as is the thermostat housing gasket. Are any of you also using RTV...

    The "While It's Apart Repair"

    Do those happen to you also? This seems to be the case on my Tahoe. Started with the oil pan gasket, figured, while I was in there, might as well do the oil pump, as teh truck has 205K on it. The oil pan gasket leak seemed to be the front cover, so took that off, and while it's apart...

    2000 Tahoe..Timing Chain Slack

    How much slack is acceptable in the timing chain. This seems a little sloppy to me. But I'm not sure waht is normal. 2000 Limited, 205K miles. Was going to try and upload a video, but it won't let me. Maybe there is an amount of slack that is acceptable. I seem to have about half an inch...

    Oil Pressure Sensor?

    I'm doing the oil pan gasket on my 2000 Tahoe Limited. On the passenger side of the engine, just above the pan, there is a sensor that also appears to be leaking. Is that the Pressure switch. My googling found people replacing an oil pressure switch on the top of the engine. But, maybe my...

    Oil Pan Gasket Leak

    Hey all, I have a 2000 Tahoe Limited, right around 205k on it. Runs and drives great, but has had an oil leak for the last 50k miles. Started when I had to replace the front main, in which case I did the whole cover with the seal. Put in a new Felpro gasket at that time, and has been leaking...

    My 2000 Limited has 201k miles. Runs and drives great, but has an oil leak from the oil pan gasket. I'm planning to drop the pan and replace the gasket soon. And I've been reading that the oil pump should be replaced. When I look at rock auto or some of the other parts sites there are a...

    Radio Install Question

    For those that have done the after market stereo install, do all 6 speakers still work with a 4 channel head unit? Or did you install a separate amplifier?

    Still Looks Good

    Just under 200k on the clock and still cruises the freeway pretty nicely, although there are a few bits I'm sure could use some replacing, which will happen in the near future. Still looks good going down the road for being 18 years old. This has been one of my favorite cars I have owned. I...

    Hey guys, On my 2000 Limited, my rear drivers side, the rear brake light and turn signal stopped working. I knew it was the turnsignal for sure, started flashing fast on the dash, was able to check that pretty easy. Put a new bulb in for the turnsignal, and found the brake not working. But...

    Front End Update

    The steering on my Limited is pretty loose. I mean I've got a good amount of slop in the steering wheel where i can jockey the wheel back and forth and it doesn't do anything. So it tends to wander quite a bit. Truck has 195K, front end I"m pretty sure is all original. So I'm planning to...

    AC Condenser Fan Wiring

    The OBS tahoe offered a condenser fan as an option from what I understand. I bought one of Amazon and bolted it up, but haven't wired it yet. Does anyone know how the factory wiring was for the condnser fan? If not, I will probably wire it so that the fan comes on with the AC compressor.

    And I'm back with a Limited

    Just picked this back up today. The long story. I bought it in 2013 after we had our first daughter. In 2016 we sold it, as we bought my wife something more to her liking that was a full size SUV. We then got rid of her full size SUV for a cross-over SUV, but regretted not having the size...

    Thinking of another OBS

    Hello all, I used to have a 2000 Limited, was a great truck, rode smooth, descent gas mileage, looked sharp and easy to work on, etc. But we sold it when we bought the wife a big SUV. We are no longer in the ownership of a large SUV, and we are missing the large hauling capability. So I am...

    Running Warm at Idle

    Hey guys, I have a 00 Limited, it's a great truck. However, today, while sitting at idle in a parking lot, AC on, the truck temp started to rise to the 210 mark in the dash. Once moving again the temp dropped pretty quick. This is pretty recent, never had an issue before. First...
