    HVAC Blend door - AC Delco 1572971, GM Part 89018365

    I bought this to replace on our 2004 Yukon, but sold the truck before I got a chance to install it. I just bought it a few months ago. Fits lots of GM Trucks, check Rock Auto for fitment, too many to list. It's genuine AC Delco, brand new in box. I purchased it from Rock Auto and can include...

    Figured out my parking brake issue

    So before our first big camping trip I'm doing a bunch of maintenance on the Tahoe, and our weak parking brake was high on the list. When I pulled the rear rotors off I found one good brake shoe, and one completely bare. I'm not sure how that happened but after putting new shoes on the brake...

    Anybody here using the Torque app to read trans temp?

    I had an ELM327 adaptor and lost it, so I just ordered a new one. Of course I'm too impatient to just wait. LOL! Does anybody know if you can read trans temps through the app? We're going on a camping trip in a few months and I was thinking of using the app to monitor trans temps instead...

    2004 Tahoe Z71 - well maintained with records

    We love our Tahoe, but we no longer need to haul around multiple strollers and rarely use it so we would rather sell it than see it just sit. It is in excellent mechanical condition and is super reliable. It has a clean and clear title (in hand) and clean Carfax. I have all maintenance...

    2000-2006 Lowering Kit - Belltech

    I never got around to installing this kit and now the Tahoe is up for sale, so my loss is your gain! The kit is used, but in excellent condition. Lowering spindles up front, 3-4" lowering springs out back with shock relocation hardware, a spacer if you want 3" instead of 4", and a couple...

    Any OBS and NBS owners out there want to comment on reliability?

    We don't use our Tahoe all that much since we work from home, the primary use being towing. So rather than having all that cash tied up in a truck we really only use for towing, I'm considering backdating to an older model. Either an 00-03 NBS or a 98-00 OBS Tahoe. Is there anybody that's...

    Corroded aluminum wheel cleanup

    I just scored a set of snow tires cheap, mostly because the wheels have seen better days. I'm thinking the best plan is to strip off the remaining clearcoat, use a strong aluminum cleaner on them, then try sanding/polishing to see if they'll clean up. Other option is to strip them then...

    Belltech SP front shocks on stock height?

    My Tahoe needs front shocks soon, ideally before our big trip this summer. in the future I'd like to lower it 2/3 with spindles / springs, but don't have the funds right now. Will the Belltech SP front shocks work with stock height? I've only seen them recommended for lowered trucks. Our...

    Performance brake pad tests?

    I'm looking for tests or recommendations for high performance brake pads, something with a more aggressive compound than stock. We tow a 5000 lb travel trailer with our girls in the Tahoe, and can't go anywhere from Portland without crossing a mountain range. So I'm looking for a pad with...

    How to remove console - without breaking

    I'm relatively ham-fisted when it comes to removing plastic panels, so before I go breaking all the clips off my dash plastics, I figured I'd ask. I did a few searches and didn't turn up anything. How do you remove the dash bezel/surround, as well as the console pieces? I need to remove...

    Z71 rear spring part number - 15182559

    I grabbed one of the tags off the springs on our Z71 when I was under it recently, and thought the part number might help others. Part number 15182559 Our is a 2004 Z71 with the towing package and 3rd row seat, so I imagine these are about as stiff as you can get. We can hook up our 800...

    Routing stock DVD signal to front TV?

    Our 2004 Tahoe has the factory DVD player above the second row. I am going to be adding a backup camera and monitor soon and was wondering if anyone had run the signal from the rear DVD to a front monitor? If nothing else it would help to see what the kids are watching so we can help set it up...

    Going rate for Z71 and Escalade racks?

    Hey gang, I'm considering swapping my Z71 rack for either an Escalade rack or a LT/LS rack. What's the going rate for a Z71 rack complete? What's the going rate for an Escalade rack (used) with or without end caps? Trying to figure out if I could get enough for my Z71 to afford the...

    Any other tips for flushing trans fluid?

    My Tahoe is overdue for a trans flush. After reading about pulling one of the trans cooler lines and replacing with a brass fitting, I was wondering if there is an easier way. Don't the lines going to the cooler have rubber sections in them? If do couldn't you just remove one clamp, drain...

    How to remove z71 flares

    Hey gang. Since I'm running stock wheels on our Z71 Tahoe the flares look a little rediculous. How hard are they to remove, and are jow arr they held on? Will there be holes behind? Anyone have any pics of a z71 without flares? Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

    Does the stock Dvd player play mp3s?

    Yeah, I'm being lazy. But does anyone know it the OEM GM Dvd player in the roof of a 2004 Tahoe will play Dvds with mp3s on it? Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

    Question about swapping second row seats

    I have a neighbor who's looking at 2007+ Suburban/Escalades, and they're trying to find one with a second row bench but find more with captain chairs. From what I've read it sounds like a straighforward swap, that all the mounts are there, you just need the seats, and different carpet and...

    LT vs Z71 springs and torsions bars

    Does any body have any photos of LT rear springs vs. Z71 rear springs? Or know the differences between them, # of coils, lencth, etc. Same with the front torsion bars/keys? I've read that replacing LT rear springs with Z71 will only give about 1/2" to 1" of lift, but will be much stiffer...

    No heat - ideas?

    Hey gang, I just came back from a 1200 mile trip down to San Francisco and back, and the Tahoe ran like a champ the whole time. Hopped in it today and the heat isn't working. Not lukewarm, ice cold. I just replaced the water pump and thermostat recently, and the coolant that came out was...

    running hot

    I noticed tonight that my coolant temp was creeping up to about 235. I was driving about 30 mph or stopped without a/c. When I turned the a/c on the temp dropped quickly. Sound like a bad fan clutch? I assume when I turn on the a/c the fan helps cool it down I was planning a 3 hour trip...

    Budget drop for Z71?

    Hey gang, I picked up a nice loaded 2004 Tahoe Z71 recently, and while there are lots of things I like about it the ride isn't one. It really seems to bounce or sway side to side, it tramlines (follows the ruts in the Oregon roads) and feels very stiff and tippy. A far cry from our BMW wagon...

    New Tahoe owner - Portland, Oregon

    Hey gang, Glad to finally have a Tahoe to talk about. On Monday (my birthday!, woo hoo!) we finally picked up our "new" 2004 Tahoe Z71. She's white with dark grey interior, and pretty well loaded with everything including sunroof, heated seats, DVD, rear captain chairs, third row seats, and...

    noob question - what is in z71 option in 2003?

    Sorry for the dumb question, but search is failing me. What is in the Z 71 option in 2003? How does the suspension differ from an LT with the towing package? I'm looking for a 03-04 Tahoe LT to tow a travel trailer but just found an 03 z71 for $3k less. I don't need the z71 and would...
