    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Well I had a lot more planned for my Tahoe but I will be holding off on anything else. It looks like I am going to be getting a new car next year (2014 Impala, pictures above/previous post), and I don’t really want to spend much more money on something I may not have for that much longer...

    Turn Signal Acting Strange

    Wasn’t too concerned about that, the thing that was annoying me most was the turn signal randomly clicking while I was driving, but it seems to have stopped doing it now so hopefully everything is fine now.

    Turn Signal Acting Strange

    All my bulbs are LED, and anything that needs a resistor has one. All bulbs are functioning fine. I have had this setup for months and have never had a single problem. If it helps, we just had A LOT of rain this past week, so I’m curious if something got wet. The thing that I found most weird is...

    Turn Signal Acting Strange

    Update: So I went outside and tried to see if it did the same thing again, which it did. But, this time I also tried turning off the headlights and for some reason it does NOT hyperflash with the headlights OFF, but it DOES hyperflash when the headlights are ON. Again, this is with the key in...

    Turn Signal Acting Strange

    Hwy TYF! Unfortunately I’m having a problem with my Tahoe (2001 LT) with my Turn Signal. Basically, today I was driving and my Turn Signal was making the clicking noise randomly while driving, but the lights weren’t flashing or anything. I get home and turn the car off. I then go back out to my...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Well I replaced my Cabin Air Filter today, it wasn’t as bad as I expected. There was definitely some debris and stuff that fell out. Owner’s manual says to change it every 15,000 miles anyway, and I’ve driven the car almost 10,000 miles in he year and a half I’ve had it. My Bilstein 5100’s also...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Yeah I actually have honestly thought about vinyl wrapping the pewter before, because it’s not a color that I would ever choose on a new vehicle (I probably wouldn’t get black either). But I also like how mine is the only two tone I really ever see, and I actually (surprisingly) get compliments...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Yeah I don’t hate the door moldings, but I just wanted the sort of “Z71 look” for my truck, plus the chrome part is kind of dented in some places from door dings. But it least I won’t be getting door dings on the actual door panels now! :cool: On the bright side, I was able to wash my truck...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Well guys some sort of bad news. I just tried removing my door moldings and I lifted it about an inch and I could already see black under there rather than pewter. So I won’t be taking off the door moldings. :(

    Austinite's 2000 NBS Tahoe Ex-Grocery Hauler Build

    Nice truck! Those cab lights are really cool! Out of curiosity where did you find your Z71 roof rack? Also how do you like the ride with the Bilstein 5100’s and Z71 coil springs?

    whistling/Humming sound at 40mph, only during acceleration

    My transmission was rebuilt around a year ago. The noise was there before the rebuild and is still here after the rebuild. If I recall correctly the reason why my transmission broke in the first place was because the pump actually exploded. :(

    whistling/Humming sound at 40mph, only during acceleration

    My truck is only a 2WD and it makes the same humming when I press the gas as I said in an earlier post. I can put it in Neutral and the noise stops, even if I rev it up.

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    I am so glad I don’t have Autoride, just the “Premium Ride” Nivomat shocks (although it would be nice to have 4WD). About a month ago my Dad had a new Silverado loaner and it was soooo much smoother than my Tahoe. My brother and I are also the only ones with old cars in our family, and whenever...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Yeah same all I have left PLANNED for lighting is blue rear footwell lights to match the front, and I still need to install my LED bulbs in the gauges. This summer (or maybe even a little before) I am going to focus on getting new shocks and springs for this thing. It’s starting to ride rough in...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Lol! Your truck was my inspiration for my lighting upgrades, even though mine aren’t as fancy/extensive as yours, @05Single! All my inspiration comes from this forum, so many unique tricks it’s unreal. I hope my envisioned Z71/LTZ look will come out looking well one day! :)

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Thanks so much! I am always so appreciative of all the kind words that everybody gives on the forum! I see so many clean rides on here that I am constantly wanting to do more, but I don’t want to go broke :confused:. I figure I am going to daily drive this truck for a long time because I enjoy...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    That is a really good idea. The LED bulbs I have in there kind of fit goofy, so I proabably do actually need to do something about the socket. :Handshake:

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Lol mine have been shot since I’ve had this vehicle. I just avoided using the liftgate (thanks for reminding it’s liftgate not trunk also) and put stuff in the back seat, but stuff always flew off the leather seats because they’re so slippery :(. In the past week that I’ve had the new struts on...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Well I had to replace my driver side fog light because it got water in it for whatever reason during this last round of rain. Luckily it was easy to install. I also installed new struts for the trunk and the glass about a week ago because the trunk would slowly fall and the glass wouldnt stay...

    Trunk rattle?

    My trunk rattles whenever I have my subwoofers on loud enough. I know it’s from the actual door though, not the jack or anything. I usually don’t have them loud enough to make the door rattle though. Also on my 01 the jack is stowed in the thing by the stock subwoofer, but there are some tools...

    How many miles you guys got on the odometer?

    My 2001 Tahoe 5.3 has a bit over 137,000 miles. I got it with almost 127,000 miles 1.5 years ago. Had to rebuild the transmission since, but otherwise it’s still running perfect.

    Low Coolant

    Well I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary there. The light hasn’t popped back up on the message center since, so I’m just going to guess it’s a faulty sensor. Maybe it got confused since it’s been getting cold outside and it’s old.

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Lol. I’m going to order an eraser wheel tonight and Sunday/Monday it’s supposed to be warmest in my area so I think I will try removing them then. If I start prying and I see it’s not painted under there, I’ll just stick it back quickly like @Rocket Man said. I think @05Single is right though...

    RGA’s 2001 Tahoe LT Build Thread

    Thanks so much! That really makes me feel a lot more confident! And I’m jealous of your Dad, I love the color combination of his truck. How did you go about removing the moldings? I know many people recommend using an eraser wheel, but how did you actually pry the molding up?

    whistling/Humming sound at 40mph, only during acceleration

    My 01 Tahoe has been doing the exact same thing as long as I’ve had it (1 and a half years). It starts around 40-50 mph, and then it starts doing it again at a higher pitch at around 70-80 mph. And mine only does it when I press the gas as well.
