Looking for a recommended 9006 low beam halogen headlight bulb to swap into my 97 Tahoe . I actually don't recall ever changing out the OEM bulbs in 25 years believe it or not and light projection down the road at night is just not very good anymore. I did repolish the lenses so I don't... -
No heat while car is warming up
Back again with 2005 Tahoe issues. When we are warming up the car before driving during these cold mornings in NC, the heater is blowing cold air even though the temp gauge shows the engine is warm.

The fuel nozzle from the gas station (any gas station) continues to kick off when we have it locked to fill, even on the slowest setting.

Woven copper wire for grounding
On my 23 yr old 97 Tahoe, there are (were) several body to frame copper grounding wires that are an uninsulated copper weave. At least 2 of them are so old and corroded that they broke and are no longer making any ground connection. What kind of troubles might I run into if I don't find a way...- Tahoe97

Alternator charging but making lots of noise
My alternator on my 97 Tahoe 5.7l is almost 20 years old with 180,000 miles on it. While it continues to charge, it is getting noisy which I am attributing to age and wear and tear. When the original was replaced under warranty in 2000 with only 41,000 miles on it, the GM dealer's paperwork...- Tahoe97
