    Vehicle is a 99 Yukon 5.7 4wd. Long story short bought the truck with a hole in the gas tank unbeknownst to me until I filled it up for the first time. No CEL for a massive evap leak though. Replaced tank and installed new Delphi pump and ACDelco tank pressure sensor. This caused new issues to...

    My old Z71... New Z71.. I sold my 02 F150 with the intentions on downsizing; sell F150, buy newer truck, then sell my Tahoe. I knew I wanted an either an 05-06 or 07+ Silverado crew cab short bed. Well after researching (and experiencing first hand on an "extended test drive") I didn't...

    driveshaft balance? or what?

    Been chasing down a wierd rattling noise on my Tahoe. I thought for sure it was a Ujoint.. Was playing in the snow a few days ago and smacked something underneath the truck on a curb. Ever since then I've been hearing it. So here's my question, are the rear shafts on these trucks internally...

    under light load; engine misses

    5.7 Vortec in OBS 2000 Z71 Tahoe. As title states, engine has a miss under light loads; such as casually taking off from a stop (like a normal person) or maintaining speed while going up an incline. The miss is faint, but still noticeable. Doesn't do it throughout the entire rev band either...

    replaced brake caliper, bled brakes, pedal still spongy

    Prior to me changing my sticking caliper, my 00 OBS Z71 had the firmest pedal ive ever felt in a GMT400 truck. Replaced the caliper and bled the whole system untill there was a steady stream of fluid. Did this over three times just to make sure. Pedal still feels spongy and weak. A buddy...

    how do I remove these?

    Snap rings/quick connects on trans cooler lines. Already tried small screw driver, snap ring pliers.. basically everything I could think of. Neither Advance or Zone sells a special tool for it..

    Differences in Y-Pipes/Cats for 96-99?

    Found a brand new y pipe on craigslist for cheap. Seller said it will fit any 96+ 5.7 truck. He originally bought it for his Suburban.. just wanted to make sure it will fit on my Tahoe. I also asked what brand it was, he said he got it from Amazon.. so he says it reallydoesnt have a name...

    Dealer Window Sticker

    Since i did not buy my Tahoe new from the dealer, the window sticker is long gone. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could possibly obtain a replacement one. I already tried window-sticker.com and they dont do trucks.

    is this proper procedure?

    Last spring, i took the Hoe to get an alignment. They had to replace the centrics (?) On the upper control arm bolts since the original ones were too rusted. Anyways I noticed that day after i got it back that the front would pop after stopping and coming to a rest. Seems the uca bolts were...

    Noise has been coming and going. I replaced the CV axle.. thinking that was the problem. Apparently not as the sound is still there.

    Progression of a well used 2000 Tahoe Z71

    So let me start from the beginning. My first Tahoe was a 99 LT, fully loaded and burgandy on burgandy. I did alot of work on it and it was truly a great vehicle. Except I totaled it about five years ago. During this time I bought a 2002 F150 and built it up pretty nicely, 9" of lift...

    is this normal?

    So i was under the hood checking the trans fluid (which there was not any fluid on the dip stick, even though it was in the shop in may for a trans filter and fluid change) but thats not the question at hand. What im interested in knowing is why my AC compressor keeps cycling on and off, even...

    Best $30 I've spent.. anyone in VA?

    Picked up this Esky center console AND gauge cluster for $30 from local junkyard. Only downfall was someone literally took it apart piece by piece.. so I had to piece it all back together. Luckily they were nice enough to leave the screws in a nice pile on the floor lol. The clip is broken to...

    has anyone had this problem with a transfer case?

    Issue is with the magnesium bodied, aluminum plugged np246 units that came equipped on 98+ models with the Autotrac option. Has anyone else stripped out one of the plugs with just a 1/4" drive? I couldnt believe how soft the plugs were. I managed to get the drain plug but the fill plug looked...

    Another A/C problem

    I tried the A/C for the first time a few days ago since I got this thing. It blew cool, but not cold. A simple recharge was in order. I charged it untill it read good on the gauge that comes with the refrigerant cans (in the "green", inbetween the V @ about 45-48psi on a 90* day) anyways it blew...

    strange transmission shifting

    2000 z71 Tahoe... when i floor it from a 10-15 mph roll the trans downshifts as it should, but then instantly upshifts. I noticed it tonight, when i wanted to hear my sweet intake (lol). I guess it went into first and as soon as it hit about 3000rpm it upshifted. Are there kickdown cables on...
