    Stock backup camera on 2014 PPV -- standard?

    For the regular 2014 Tahoe, the backup camera is a standard feature. From the 2014 Tahoe PPVs that I've seen, none seem to have the stock backup camera feature. Has anyone seen a 2014 Tahoe PPV with a stock backup camera?

    Flywheel/driveplate - orientation question

    Hey guys, just finished replacing the rear main seal and housing gasket on my 04 Tahoe. Chilton book said to mark relationship between the flywheel/driveplate and crankshaft -- I did this step. Upon removing, it appears that the "extra" hole on the engine block didn't match with the extra hole...

    SOLVED: Loose steering wheel play -- is this normal?? (see video)

    I've had this annoying loose play at my steering wheel for as long as I can remember on my 2004 Tahoe. I recorded a video of me in the driver's seat with the truck off and in park. I'm able to easily nudge the steering wheel with just a finger. Is this normal?? For instance, was this...

    Reusing Rocker Arm Bolts?

    I'm putting new cylinder heads on my Tahoe along with a lot of other new hardware (rockers, valves, springs, etc) and was wondering if I should replace the Rocker Arm bolts. They're a lot more expensive than you'd think if you go OEM -- about $8 each and I'd need 16 of course.

    Cylinder Head replacement -- recommendations

    So, it seems my truck, 2004 5.3L Tahoe, has the infamous cracked Castech cylinder head problem on the driver's side. I've decided to replace the cylinder heads and all associated hardware (rockers, springs, rods, etc.) and with all new parts --- no remanufactured (don't want to inherit the same...

    Thermostat replaced less than 5 months ago -- now leaking

    Around last Christmas, I replaced my hoses, reservoir, reservoir cap, radiator, performed a coolant flush, and also replaced the thermostat while I was at it. This past weekend, I was driving down the highway when I noticed the 'HOT COOLANT' message on the DIC and saw that my temperature guage...

    Fuel Filter Bracket - GM Part #?

    When replacing my fuel filter on my 2004 Tahoe LT, the existing black plastic fuel filter bracket cracked. Not surprising considering the age and how plastic becomes brittle, but I am having a lot of difficulty locating the GM part number from the drawings available. It's illustrated with an...

    Transmission Filter & Fluid change issues - check engine light

    I currently have 188k miles on my 2004 Tahoe and decided it was time to drop the transmission pan and replace the filter, gasket, and seal. I've had the vehicle since it's had 100k in 2009. No transmission problems to date. It's possible that the transmission fluid was changed at 100k, but I...

    Catalytic Converter & all 4 O2 Sensors replaced - CEL now says all 4 02 Sensors are bad

    Hi guys. About a month ago the CEL lit up on my '04 Tahoe. I went to O'Reilly to get the code checked and they came back with P0420. Since the truck has 181k miles on it, I figured it was time to replace the catalytic converter as well as the 4 oxygen sensors. I replaced the OEM catalytic...

    Re-coding Ignition Lock Cylinder to match original key

    Hey everyone, I looked around on older threads about this topic but didn't find anything that explored it in the detail I was looking for. I replaced my ignition lock cylinder on my 2004 Tahoe awhile ago, but never got around to having it re-coded to match the original key (also used for the...

    Rear bumper - corner dent - repair estimate reasonable?

    On my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, the rear driver's side corner/fender has a dent -- just over 4 inches across in width (see pictures at bottom of post). A shop in my area (Houston) gave me a ballpark estimate of $400. I didn't tell them that I recently purchased a living social deal for a $200...

    Tire question

    Hi guys, I need to replace all four 265/70/17 tires on my 2004 LT Tahoe. I'm considering getting BFGoodrich Rugged or All-Terrain in either 265/70/17 or 285/70/17. Without any modifications (i.e. lift), would 285/70/17 tires even fit properly (without rubbing) ? Thanks, I appreciate the...
