    I think I killed her...

    I'm pretty sure I blew a head gasket. In the process the coolant got flushed into the engine block and and out the intake. Instead of the usual equipment trailer, I had a bike rack on the back. Having just come back from a long bicycle ride and not towing anything, I wasn't watching for...

    WTB American Racing wheel for 1999 OBS Ducks Unlimited Tahoe

    I am desperately looking for a 16" American Racing wheel that came stock on a 1999 OBS Ducks Unlimited Tahoe. I have three of them. The other one, and the tire mounted to it, decided it needed to get where we were going before the rest of the Tahoe and passed me doing 70mph into on coming...

    Crank Position Sensor Correlation Codes

    Between here and Youtube, I always seem to manage to fix my 'Ho. This time it's throwing a Crank Position Sensor Correlation Code, P1345 if I recall. It runs great and only throws that code on start up. If I clear the code after starting the engine, it will not show it again until I start it...

    Not starting

    I apologize for not searching thoroughly and please feel free to post links. I jumped in my 99 Tahoe this morning and it wouldn't start. Power came on and all that. The key switch interrupted power like it normally would when you start it. But there was no engagement and no turning of the...

    Radio power issues?

    Are there any known issues with the radio power (switched and/or constant) circuit in the OBS Tahoe/Yukons? I have had several Kenwood head units that go into protection mode in this Tahoe. Usually this indicates a short in the speakers, but they will do it with no speakers attached, just the...

    How to increase towing capacity

    Right now my towing capacity appears to be somewhere around 6500 to 7000 lbs (depending on which website you use). I've been looking at boats and the size I'm looking at are closer to the 10,000 lbs range on the trailer. Is the a way to increase the towing capacity of a 99 Tahoe. Signature...

    Charging system gut check

    Just started today: battery light is lit steadily and the voltage meter has dropped from 14V to 10V, also holding steadily. I'm thinking it's the alternator. I'll get a code reader on it soon, but have no problem just switching out the alternator if that's what it most likely is

    Wiper travel

    Is there a write up on how to adjust the actual travel of the wipers? My drivers side wiper sits up higher than the passenger side and goes past the edge of the windshield when in use, which seems to be reducing the usable life of that wiper. Couldn't find anything in a search on the section...

    1999 Tahoe auto 4wd

    i did a thread search but didn't come up with anything definitive. Knowing when to use 2WD is easy enough and 4WD is almost as easy, but when and how should Auto 4WD be used? I drive about two hours a day on the free back and forth to work and then mostly arterial streets before and after...

    Front Hitch Receiver

    I've got a 99 Tahoe (see signature) that has a 2" receiver on the front. What is this typically used for? I could see it very occasionally being hand for pulling a trailer out, but not really anymore than the conventional way. Any ideas? Was it designed for another use?

    O2 Sensor

    I had a check engine light pop up today. I put the code reader on and it said it was an O2 sensor issue. I cleared the code and drove home (about an hour on freeway) and didn't get a light, so maybe it's an isolated incident. But I came here to do a search for potential problems and, of...

    Dirty rear window

    Is it just me or does the rear window on the barn doors get really dirty in the winter with road spray and such? Have any of you guys come up with a solution for cleaning on the go? Was there a rear spoiler option of some sort to increase downward airflow over the window?

    Rear air and wipers.

    I've got a couple of questions. I have 99 four door Tahoe. Question one is about the rear air. With the temperature all the way up, when I turn on the rear fan it blows cold air. Up front blows hot just fine. Is that just for cold AC or should that be blowing hot air as well...

    HID Lighting Issues

    I just picked up a 99 Ducks Unlimited Tahoe and put a stereo and some HID headlights from DDM Tuning that I had on a GMC Safari. The stereo went fine as did the HID lights, but when I turn on the lights the stereo, a Kenwood KCD-X995, goes into protect. The only way get it out of the protect...
