    Bad start to road trip!

    So got the oil changed earlier in the week at dealership (free lifetime oil changes), had dealership rotate tires and I put on new wipers. No running issues since last April on another volleyball road trip when my transfer case had issues and an ignition coil. So about two hours into a 5 hour...

    2005 Tahoe LT with 136k 5.3l. It has never done this and has always ran smoothly! So last night I took her truck to the store about 10 minutes away. All was going well until I got into parking lot. Was stopping at stop sign and it started a slight surging effect. Put it in neutral and could...

    Transfer case leaking!

    I (wife) have a 2005 Tahoe LT with 135k. I noticed a drip on the driveway after I changed out the water pump over the summer. Thought something went sideways with install, but it turned out to be farther back. Drip wasn't bad and so I ignored it. 2 weeks ago I changed out the transfer case...

    Frustrated with 2005 Tahoe suspension!

    So the story goes back a long time...When I purchased the 05 Tahoe back in 08 for my wife, I knew it was lowered but the sales guy said it was stock. So I have been slowly trying to track down the issues. I have replaced the rear suspension with SOCALS 2/3 drop with shocks, link ends and...

    Sorry for the repost but I'm trying to get this fixed by tonight (wife's Tahoe). I put in a new encoder motor switch and I couldn't get the motor back on due to misalignment of the shaft. Here is my post from the drivetrain forum. I am off to get the 4wd selector at the stealership to get...

    Encoder motor

    Hey everyone - I'm in the middle of changing out the sensor in the encoder motor. I have the new sensor installed in the motor and have a question about the rest of installation. I did not switch the transfer case to neutral before starting since I didn't read that anywhere, but the youtube...

    Airlift 1000 installation question

    where is fuel filter 2005 tahoe

    Ok, I searched on the forum before I purchased a filter. Everything led me to believe it was on the frame rail below the drivers seat. I can only find the fuel pump with lines going to the engine and lines going to the gas tank. I just read that it could be in the tank or built into the pump...
