    headlight not working

    I have a 96 Tahoe. My passenger side low beam quit working. I replace the bulb and it worked for about a week then went out again. Before I could replace it again it came back on for a day or so and went out again. I pulled the bulb and the wire in it is still intact, so I tested it with an ohm...

    windshield wipers not aligned right

    I just got my Tahoe out of the paint shop and they installed a new windshield. Now the wipers are not aligned correctly. The drivers side swings way past where it should stop and in the off position it sits way too high. I took it off to make sure it is installled right and it is in the groove...

    After 7 long months I just got my Tahoe back from the paint shop

    So after 7 months I picked my Tahoe up from the paint shop yesterday. I must say I love it. They removed the roof rack and all trim and emblems. There wasn't any body work needed but they spend considerable time making the body panels perfectly smooth. They painted it Toyota Pure white, and it...

    2017 Yukon taillight issue

    My daughter has a 2017 Yukon. The passenger taillight went out back in july and we bought a used one on ebay and replaced it in the middle of July. Now 21 days later it has gone out again. Reading here on the forum I found that there are issues with 2015 and 2016 taillights, but could this be...

    High idle

    I posted a few months ago that my 96 tahoe 5.7 vortec would idle extremely high at times - 1200 - 1500 rpm in gear and 1800 - 2200 in park or neutral. It was very sporadic. At times it would idle normally. I got some great responses but nothing helped. I changed the TPC and the IAC (?) and...

    Engine Idle

    I have a 96 with a stock 5.7 vortec. I'm having trouble with it idling. When I first crank it, it idles at 2500 rpm for probably 20 seconds and then idles down to about 1100. When I put it in gear it will drop down to 700 - 800 like normal. My problem is it will randomly jump to 2500 rpm and...

    Antitheft system

    OK - I had a headlight go out so I changed it out this morning. It worked a few minutes then went out again. I figured i just didn't snap the connection in good enough so instead of taking the headlight out again I removed the battery and horn and there was just enough room to get a few fingers...

    Front license plate mount

    This may be a silly question and I admit I haven't looked at it too close but here goes: My daughter just bought a 2017 Yukon XL and when the new license plates came in I put the rear one on - no problem. Went to put the front plate on and there isn't anyway to mount it - no bracket, no screw...

    I just made up a Tahoe game

    I just came up with a new game we all can play. It's called "When working on your Tahoe, name something that is easy to do and everything went right the first time." The rules are simple - you have 10 seconds to name something you have done to your Tahoe that was easy to do and nothing went...

    Just finished lowering 96 2dr 2wd

    I just finished the suspension on my 96 2dr/2wd and though I'd post some thoughts on it: I completely rebuilt the front and rear suspension - everything is brand new, including the rear leaf springs and shackles. Only the control arms were rebuilt. I did all the work myself, just to be able...

    Help with wheel/tire combo

    I've got a 1996 Tahoe 2dr/2wd and I'm just finishing doing a 4/4 drop. The front is a 2" spindle and 2" coil spring drop. The rear is an axle flip with a 2" lift front spring perch to get the 4" drop. The kit came from DJM. I'm shopping for wheels and tires and have hit a wall. No one at any of...

    Battery cable isses

    While researching a battery issue, I came across this article on battery cables. I found it interesting. If you're having intermittent electrical issues or engine not starting this might be something to look at...

    Dead battery

    I've got a 1996 2 door 2 wd Tahoe. I'm in the process of lowering it 4" and rebuilding the suspension. I have it in my shop up on jackstands. I don't have a lot of extra time, so I've been working on it off and on for the past 4 months. After I finished the rear suspension, I decided to crank it...

    Fast idle

    I have a 96 Tahoe with the 5.7 with 175,000 miles. The accelerator pedal started sticking at idle and I would have to quickly stomp it to unstick it. It would only happen at idle. It also began idling at 1,300 - 1,500 rpm, and drop down to 700 - 800, then back to the high idle. It would idle up...
