    Something gave way front pass side

    Update: Got quote from my trusted repair shop without them seeing it. I took it to them to proceed with the repair. Just picked her up. They said they also replaced the sway bars as well because they were in bad shape. All in was $644. Original quote was $615 so it doesn’t appear any extra labor...

    Something gave way front pass side

    Pulling out of driveway and something didn’t feel right when backing over curb at the street. There wasn’t any noise. The truck rode funny. Bumpier it seemed. Not hard bumps by bouncyish. I turned around and put it back in the driveway. I got out to inspect and the pass side front wheel is...

    Clanging Metal Sound in Drivetrain?

    "banging a night stick inside an aluminum garbage can." Thanks, everyone. The thing is, it's not that terribly loud. If the radio is on or the fan on high, you can't hear it over that. I generally have to open the window and stick my head halfway out to hear it. It sounds like something...

    Clanging Metal Sound in Drivetrain?

    Thanks. So please help me understand the physics here. What is exactly rubbing against what? Can this be driven until I get this done? (Can't do it myself). Is something just loose and is it dangerous or damaging to drive it or just an annoying nuisance? My commute puts me on the interstate to...

    Clanging Metal Sound in Drivetrain?

    The vehicle in question is a 2008 Tahoe 2-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. The noise itself sounds like a rotational metal on metal sound. Clanging with intensity mirroring accelerating. It takes no effort at all to reproduce; put the car into drive and step on the gas. The truck...

    Need Opinions on Coolant Hose Replace

    swathdiver, the part I need is not branched like that. Both Advance Auto and AutoZone showed me that part. ScottyBoy, that's the one, except rather than the hose clamp, it had the thick crimped ring I referred to that appears to be part of the hose itself. Where I am now is the black part of...

    Need Opinions on Coolant Hose Replace

    Hi all, my 2008 white Tahoe with 160K miles on it started to billow steam from the passenger side of the hood the other day whenever I slowed or stopped. I had a 30 minute drive to work ahead of me and I watched the temp gauge closely. For the first 20 minutes, the truck ran at a perfect 210...

    Throttle Body Bad?

    Update, I took the $50 gamble and it paid off. Replaced the TBS and seemed to fix the problem. Truck runs great and doesn't do all the crazy stuff it did before. We will see how it does this weekend on an out-of-town trip.

    Throttle Body Bad?

    Also, I have audio recordings of the 'grinding' noise with engine running and without. What format do they need to be in to upload?

    Throttle Body Bad?

    Long/short of a brutal two weeks...re: 2008 Tahoe with 150,000 miles on it. Got the CEL with 'Reduced Engine Power', 'Service Stabilatrak' and 'Service Traction Control' messages. Fortunately was close to home so I just parked it in the garage. Next day, no messages or even the CEL. Drove it...
