    97 Tahoe RR Brake Sticking and Won't Bleed.

    You've basically cover most of my questions. Dealer tried to do a fluid flush and said it wouldn't bleed at the RR. I asked if they pulled the bleeder to see if it was plugged. Asked if the left bled. No responses. I didn't think the ABS had anything to do with it initially. I also figured...

    97 Tahoe RR Brake Sticking and Won't Bleed.

    A little more research and I think the proportioning valve is part of the ABS unit. Is this true? I do think my ABS is having issues. Last time I jammed the brakes I don't recall getting that noise and vibration. Considering the age maybe a good idea to replace the ABS unit? What do you think?

    97 Tahoe RR Brake Sticking and Won't Bleed.

    Wheel cylinders replaced a few years back along with all rear brake components. I can only assume it bled then. Seems like a cheap start but doesn't account for the brake sticking since it did it before. E-brake is never used but stranger things ...

    97 Tahoe RR Brake Sticking and Won't Bleed.

    Hi all, I have a 1997 Tahoe LT 4X4 2 Dr. The right rear drum brake sticks. Has been doing this for a long time. Some years back I had the rear brakes done with all new parts including wheel cylinder and drums. Problem is still there. Pulling away from a stop light or sign, for instance, you...

    Help! 1999 Chevy Tahoe no start issue!

    You mention changing the plug wires. Have you verified the cap to plug order is correct? I am sure you did but this was one thing changed right before the issue appeared. Verify and eliminate the most obvious and easiest things first.

    Help! 1999 Chevy Tahoe no start issue!

    Take it to a good independent shop or to the dealer. On the times my '97 wouldn't start it was one of these things. Fuel pump. So get the fuel pressure checked to eliminate that. Bad distributor cap. Unlikely in your case but make sure it is seated correctly. Are you getting spark at the...

    Help! 1999 Chevy Tahoe no start issue!

    Just to eliminate it as an issue do a pressure check on the fuel pump. There is a fitting on the driver side top of the engine. Or that is where mine is. My '97 Tahoe ate fuel pumps until I switched to no ethanol gas years back. Haven't replaced a pump since.

    Increase Brake Performance On '97 Tahoe Questions! I know, Redundant!

    Thanks for the insights. I am considering calipers and hoses. Rear wheel cylinders were new a few years back when I had the rear brakes done. I was a little surprised the dealer couldn't identify why they couldn't bleed the RR brake. I'm going to jack it up and see if the brake works on the RR...

    Increase Brake Performance On '97 Tahoe Questions! I know, Redundant!

    Hi all, Long time reader and first post. I have a '97 Tahoe LT 4X4 2 door with rear drums. I pull a 14 foot trailer with a tractor. Total weight is around 4500 pounds. Pulls pretty good considering. A little lacking in power for the hills on the highway but I just take it easy! Braking is...

    Blower doesn't work on one speed

    Try a little reading comprehension before you shoot your mouth off. I stated that I had just replaced the resistor because it seemed like the most likely problem. It did not fix it so I asked what might be next. You even followed up with another suggestion. I responded to you not Tony. So...

    Cruise does not engage.

    OK, the cruise control has gone out. If you depress the button to set it seems to set for a moment then disengages. Any thoughts before I just start parts changing?! ---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ---------- Sorry! '97 Hoe

    Blower doesn't work on one speed

    Thanks, that is what I thought! Even though the resister seemed to be the likely culprit!

    Blower doesn't work on one speed

    The blower motor does not work on the second to highest speed. All others work fine. I replaced the resistor as this seemed to be the common problem but no change. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Running Sluggish after Tune-up.

    Check and maybe replace the Mass Airflow Sensor. My 97 started acting up. Sluggish performance over time but recently started to hesitate very bad on takeoff and when passing. Replaced MAS and it’s like a new truck. Check for a rebuilt at Oreilly.
