    OE Shocks for my 2004 Tahoe

    My Tahoe has almost 160000 miles on it. What started all of this was when I took it to Firestone for a complete front end inspection, because I felt that the car was tracking badly. On the freeway it was wandering more than I thought was normal. They said that the PS steering box and pitman arm...

    OE Shocks for my 2004 Tahoe

    Not knowing what I am doing I was looking at these Monroe shocks. Are any of them a good choice? Part #37166, 37178, part #911178, 911166 and part #911505, 911506. If not recommendations are appreciated now that we know what type of suspension my Tahoe has. I am looking at all of these good...

    OE Shocks for my 2004 Tahoe

    I am thinking about replacing all 4 shocks on my 2004 Tahoe LT, 5.3 ltr engine, RWD. But I would like to stick with the original factory set up. Can anybody tell me the OEM part numbers for the front and rear shocks for my Tahoe. It doesn't have to be the same brand of shocks that the car came...

    Remote stopped working

    I can no longer lock or unlock my 2004 Tahoe with my remote. It doesn't matter if I am close by or further away. The battery is good. It shows 3 VDC plus some. However the panic button works just fine. Any ideas what it could be?

    Sound System silent when cold

    Interesting all the replies and I know what my next move will be, but I have not yet worked up the enthusiasm to take out the front seats and remove the center console but I do have a spare radio (which has a different unrelated problem) which I will use for testing first. That should at least...

    Sound System silent when cold

    I have a 2004 Tahoe with a 6-CD OEM radio which worked fine all summer. Now that temps are going down to near freezing all of a sudden the entire sound system is dead when I start out in the morning, not a peep. The system is Bose and I don't think it is the radio, because it has power and...

    My 2004 Tahoe throws a P0443 code

    My 2004 Tahoe throws a P0443 code intermittently. I know it has something to do with the EVAP system. Can anybody be a little more specific and may have an idea what I should look for? Thanks

    Sound system is cutting out

    By the way, where is the Bose box. I assume that there is a unit installed somewhere in my Tahoe that produces the Bose sound other than the speakers in the car. I want to check all the connections and make sure that the problem is not with the Bose system, especially now that it is doing...

    Sound system is cutting out

    There is just no way beating this or coming out ahead, no matter what option I take. The engineers at GM must have spend days just trying to figure out how to thoroughly screw the public with this radio locking BS. The best option would be to get a hopefully good unit on ebay and there are maybe...

    Sound system is cutting out

    Tonyrodz, that sounds good. I can get a good radio on ebay or amazon and remove that theft prevention chip and wouln't it be a bummer if I then find out that the problem is in the bose system or is that not possible. I have AM, almost never FM and my CD player plays for a few minutes and then...

    Sound system is cutting out

    It's been almost a year now and I have not done anything about my bum radio. It has gotten worse and maybe it's easier now to pin point the possible problems. I have no FM stations. The CD player cuts out after a while, but the AM band works fine all the time. When the CD player cuts out I bang...

    Sound system is cutting out

    Thanks, Tonyrodz. I was contemplating the same. These radios are actually rather uncluttered on the inside, a CD player and one or two circuit boards, that's it. I will take it apart and look for cold solders and anything else that looks suspicious and hopefully I catch it. If not, ebay will...

    Sound system is cutting out

    My 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe OEM GMC 2003-2005 Radio AM FM 6 Disc CD with Aux Input is acting up. For about a year or so I have been having problems with the radio and CD player. It started gradually and now it happens all the time after about 3-5 minutes of playtime. Problem #1: After about 5...

    2004 Tahoe A/C high/low pressures

    The other day I went out and got myself a beautiful professional A/C manifold gauge set to check the status of the A/C system on my 2004 Tahoe. As far as the proper pressures of the system are concerned the instructions on how to use the set say to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. I am...

    Best Ignition System for my 2004 Tahoe???

    I have a 2004 Tahoe with a 5.3 ltr. Flex engine, which has about 138,000 miles on it. I am not the original owner so I am not sure if the plugs were ever replaced at about 100,000 miles like it's supposed to. So I want to replace my plugs, even though I have no problems with the way the engine...

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    Here is how it ends. On my last post I said that I did an extensive smoke test and all the lines seemed to check out fine. I replaced the purge valve, the vent valve and the gas cap, had the code cleared at a Advance Auto Parts store, driven the car almost 1300 miles in 1 1/2 months time and the...

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    I replaced the gas cap, the purge valve and the vent valve and drove it over 120 miles in 3 days with the hopes that the computer decides that the small leak was fixed and turned off my check engine light, but the check engine light is still on. So I was just about to give up and take it to a...

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    I came to the same conclusion. since I didn't see any smoke leaks I will assume for the time being that all the tubing and lines are ok. The 3 suspect parts (purge valve, vent valve, gas cap) all OEM are on order from Rock Auto totaling $55 and should be here by the end of the week. Will then...

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    I thought the valve on top of the engine was the PURGE valve and the VENT valve is under the car. Please correct me if i am wrong.

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    This problem has not been resolved yet. I was just away for a while. Here is what i did so far. I had my son, who vapes, blow a lot of smoke thru the AVAP service port right next to the Vapor Canister PURGE valve (the one with the green cap on and the left threaded Schraeder valve in it (for...

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code

    My 2004 Tahoe threw a P0442 code the other day. 5.3 ltr flex engine. I understand it is a small leak somewhere in the evap system. I visually inspected all the lines to see if I could find something broken, but they all seem to be in order. I don't think it is the gas cap. The cap and seals look...
