    Looking for 4" lift for '97 Tahoe 2-Door 4x4

    Hi - just that simple - I am getting more and more confused the more I try and answer this on my own ... just looking for a decent 4" suspension lift for my '97 Tahoe. It won't be for any reason other than I like the look - not going to be a trail vehicle, not anything ridiculous. Thanks for...

    Silverado Rims on Tahoe

    That looks great! Did you line-x the bumper & lower panels? It looks really good and I've been looking at doing something similar.

    Thoughts/Recommendations for "mild" lift '97 4x4

    Hi - I'd like to do a lift next on my '97 Tahoe. Not for any off road/trail reasons, just want to have a more level look and a bit higher, so with that in mind it seems choices are pretty limited. I keep coming back to something like this: 4" Rough Country...

    Tried to replace steering shaft bearing '97 Tahoe...wtf is this?

    I just went based on what I found when doing some google searches, you are correct, entirely possible this isn't the issue...or it could be one of a couple issues .. either way, in several videos the symptoms described where identical along with the intermediate shaft being pretty loose - able...

    Tried to replace steering shaft bearing '97 Tahoe...wtf is this?

    Ok .. is it possible I'm even more wrong? It could be! Is this actually two different things that I'm thinking is one part? Looking at different diagrams - the part that has the wire connector is the steering wheel sensor - which is just now occurring to me might be totally separate from the...

    Tried to replace steering shaft bearing '97 Tahoe...wtf is this?

    Hey! That sure as heck looks exactly like it. So based on what you linked it seems like I was 100% wrong on what was needed. I'm pretty confused now other than clearly what I was trying to do was wrong. Thanks everybody for the assistance!

    Tried to replace steering shaft bearing '97 Tahoe...wtf is this?

    Hi - I have watched multiple videos across GM models from '95-'03 to make sure I was comfortable trying this - mainly because everyone said it was a pain in the ass, but solves a common issue (clunk steering feel). Ok so I checked, double checked multiple sites for part number/fit - I ordered...

    Want to add fog lights '97 / valence question

    Hey - so next up I want to add some fog lights on the lower valence. I spent a bit of time researching and because I'm a few years late to this party, looks like finding a OEM valence that has the fog light cut outs is pretty much impossible (OEM or even after market). My Tahoe does have the...

    My quest for new front seats..so close and so far...

    Hi - after a couple weeks of daily craigslist and marketplace crawling, I came across an '00 Escalade that was being parted out and still had seats available. From another thread I saw that front seats from an "OBS '00 Escalade" should bolt right in... so I took a leap of faith and bought the...

    "Why?" ... there is only one answer for a 24+ year old truck when asked "Why" spending anything to do anything... because I want to! ;)

    I want to put in some rear speakers (or subs) in my '97 Tahoe 2-door

    Hi - I know I'm late to the party on a lot of this...and I've been doing my best google searching for a week or more and really striking out (except one solution that I'm not really wanting to pursue). I have the LS 2-Door body and it has the front door speakers and the rear 4x10 headline...

    Did a "LS" trim have remote door locks?

    I only have a single key, no key fobs, for my recent ebay find '97 Tahoe LS ... I see plenty of key fob remotes on ebay/amazon so I don't mind picking up a couple, but how do I know for sure if this year/trim level even had remote locking? Thank you!

    Will front seats from '00 4-dr Tahoe fit '97 2-dr Tahoe?

    Just looking for direct bolt on fit/replacement. I know the front seats off the 4 door aren't going to have the "flip forward" function for access to rear of the 2-dr Tahoe, but don't care about that. Anyone know if these will fit? Thank you!

    '97 Tahoe Air Conditioning question

    Well hey I learned stuff today so that's a win! Thank you for the help. I did confirm a leak. I rented a vacuum pump and found an exact walk through on Youtube ... When the pump is running it can get to about -25 and that's as far as it can go. The second I turn the pump off, bam right back to...

    '97 Tahoe Air Conditioning question

    Ok well some google reading already has explained my super savy "high valve" wording and that is the expansion valve and maybe it is doing its job and therefore my leak is actually elsewhere...meh.

    '97 Tahoe Air Conditioning question

    Hi - I am most certainly not a "shade tree" mechanic by any stretch, just want to get that out there... so I did watch several videos for recharing A/C unit as mine is just blowing hellfire. I hooked up first can w/the digital gauge and it read 0 psi so clearly not good lol. I followed...

    '97 Tahoe - oh god what have I gotten into lol....

    Picked up from mechanic today. No other items/issues - so now for first time since it showed up, I was able to start with the basics. For what its worth, I did some auto detailing as a side hobby for a few years - so started with a power wash (no leaks!) then a hand wash. These pics are just...

    '97 Tahoe - oh god what have I gotten into lol....

    If this link works, it is to the seller's album from the Ebay auction. I didn't take any pics when it was delivered yesterday. These pics are a bit too "optimistic" compared to what it actually looks like, but overall, it is pretty clean for a 24 year old, 147K+ mileage truck. I'll get some...

    Ok I have a 2015 Yukon Denali and ... good lord ... I can't figure out how to set and then switch between multiple preset stations (FM/AM). So I have 5... because I can't figure out how to go to the previous 5 or next 5 .. and I know there's 15 presets possible because I'm at least smart...
