    Added Tru-Cool Tranny Cooler, Coolant or Tranny Fluid

    if there is antifreeze in those lines then you have bigger problems than figuring out how to install the cooler. coolant and trans fluid on these cars can look the same, and trans oil is very thin. engine coolant has nothing to do with transmission cooling....the lines are run up there (as...

    New owner. With a few Questions..

    not sure why you would buy one of these vehicles with 150k miles on it..i am the biggest kool-aid drinker for the gm engines, BUT everything else on the truck falls apart around this time (airbags, all rubber components/hoses, all boots, all ball joints, water pump -- could be on 2nd one...

    Valet lost my keys again

    based on the amount of tahoe/denali/escalade thefts per year, and my knowledge of valet services, i would also be the farm that keys are being collected for theft later. there is really ZERO chance for a valet to lose a key, especially what sounds like an established valet. i would call...

    Major issues 2007 Tahoe

    driver seat belt is not really an issue, thats just the lock being sensitive...when this happens, simply reach above your left shoulder and slide the seat belt height adjuster up and down one time (like down a click then back to where you like it), it will release the tensioner immediately...

    Differences Between 4WD AUTO and 4WD HI

    well, the above is sort of right. the diff between 4 auto and 4 hi is all the difference in the world. 4 auto can be selected at any time (even in motion) and as mentioned above the truck will engage all wheels when needed....4 auto is meant especially for rainy conditions. 4LO is ONLY to be...

    Seafoam

    seafoam is snake oil. modern EFI IC engines require no cleaning/additives/etc. any "black smoke" you see out of the exhaust is simply a rich condition. any white/other smoke (assuming you dont have a blown head gasket) is simply byproducts of burning this stuff (for compounds not...

    Changing Transmission Oil

    you can wrap a motorcycle/tie down strap around it, then around the frame crossmember....slowly ratchet it and you can get the 1/4" or so you need to get the pan out and back in....you are just encouraging the stainless flex connection to move you you want it.:) to OP, while you have the pan...

    AC Help

    what you are describing sounds like the coil is freezing, pretty classic. due to low refrigerant from pinhole leak. you should see a nice size puddle of water after you stop it when this symptom has occurred (decreased air flow), vs the normal smaller puddle when this isnt happening. if...

    2007 Tahoe LTZ

    its probably either: 1.) you have a locking rear diff (check option codes in glove box). locking rears are not locked until they lock up (lol)....this can happen often in reverse because reverse is geared so low, so there tends to be a jerk when all that torque is applied and it locks the diff...

    Help a Newbie Out - Looking for an '09+ Tahoe

    under 30 for what will be a loaded 09 (due to the options/combinations you want) is just not going to happen unless the miles are WAYYYY up there (probably 75k+). either go older, forget the heated leather seats, or wait another year. the good news is that these vehicles are extremely...

    Issue bleeding my brakes.

    hook lines to all 4 bleeders, put those aluminum turkey baking pans under all 4...crack them all so they start flowing.... keep master cylinder full (you should get a good idea of how often you have to go out there, prob every 10 or so minutes.....use an egg timer. let it gravity bleed for...

    Removing the exterior mirror caps

    i've found the best way is to drive down a narrow street with another tahoe/yukon/escalade comming at you in the other direction... once the mirrors hit, they pop off nice and easy.
