    Fuel tank misreading

    My 99 has the same issue. When it reads full, it's full. When it reads empty, it's actually still got half a tank left. I know because when I fill up, it only takes around 55L or so. Tank capacity is closer to 90L. I know fixing it is a bigger job and I'll need to drop the tank, so I haven't...

    Custom console questions

    Yeah, I tried a couple of local shops, and their selections weren't what I was looking for. The colours were right, but the grain patterns were too large, looked too much like they belonged in 70s vans.

    Custom console questions

    I'm starting a new project on my 99 Tahoe LT. The center console needs major improvement; no cupholders, no real storage space, nowhere to put a phone, no charging points, etc. So it's time to build a new one. The new console will have cupholders, USB ports, 12V plug, switches for aux lighting...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Discovered there ARE parts for these trucks that are hard to find! My AC recently stopped cooling. Put it in the shop, would not hold pressure, found a pinhole in one of the AC lines. Had my parts guys do a search, and they could not find an AC line anywhere in Canada. So now it's a week later...

    Refurbished OEM CD Player.

    I've been half-heartedly looking for the stock AM/FM/cassette for my Tahoe. I still have the slave CD player, which I'm assuming still works. If it weren't for my need for bluetooth, I'd be spending a lot more effort to take it back to stock!

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The nice weather is here and it feels great to be outside working on the truck again. Finally got around to replacing the headlight switch. I don't know what it is with these trucks, but the headlight switches always seem to get old and gross. The rubber gets sticky and discoloured, and nothing...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Took it to the lake yesterday. -27 degrees Celcius, which is about -17 Fahrenheit. Very happy the block heater works. And the heated seats. Rear air vents are blowing cold though, despite there being heat from the front vents. Luna doesn't seem to mind though.

    Finally found a clean OBS 1999 Tahoe 4x4

    Nice! I've always liked these in red. I found my clean 99 last spring.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    This weekend I discovered that I have something to investigate. First, -25 degrees Celcius, fires right up. So I'm happy about that. Lots of heat in the front, but the rear roof vents are blowing cool. Need to get that sorted out to keep the kiddies happy. I'm hoping it's something simple...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Minor stuff this past week. Did an oil change. Noticed a couple of areas that looked like they were sweating a little, so just fixed them. Oil filter adapter, dipstick tube. Also changed out the waterpump, as it had a noticeable drip. Nothing on my driveway, but it was definitely leaking. So not...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Well, the weather has been fairly cold here over the past few weeks. So because my Tahoe doesn't have a remote starter yet, and the heated seats currently aren't working for some reason, it was just more comfortable to take my new truck. So the Tahoe has been parked for a little over a month. I...

    Rare As "Cluck" 1999 Military 2 door Tahoe For Sale !!!

    I used to be part of the Porsche Club of America before I sold the car. Edmonton is considered Polar Region. Anyway, we did autocrossing events out at Edmonton Garrision, so every other Sunday from April through September we were on the runways on the base setting up autocross courses. Used to...

    Rare As "Cluck" 1999 Military 2 door Tahoe For Sale !!!

    Nope! Only in parades and museums, and events I've attended on base. I don't even understand how dashboard damage like this could happen. Unless it was being done on purpose.

    Rare As "Cluck" 1999 Military 2 door Tahoe For Sale !!!

    I've always wondered why the interiors on these military trucks look as bad as they do. They seem to always be just destroyed. Still, would love to get my hands on this one. Importing to Canada could be interesting.

    Interior switch lights

    Great! Thanks!

    Interior switch lights

    Burned out lights drive me nuts. I've now replaced all of the major interior and dash lights on my 99 with LED. Found 6 burned out bulbs in the process, which definitely explained why some lights like on the overhead rear HVAC controls, seemed really dim. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm...

    Cassette dead

    I briefly thought about going retro, and installing my old system. For whatever reason, I still have all of my old stereo gear from 20 years ago. Pulled it out of the cars I had then. High end Sony cassette deck, 2 10-disc CD changers, amps, etc. Then I remembered that CD changers are a PITA...

    Coming soon! My '98 Sub build. Something different

    Ambitious and crazy. But intriguing and cool. Very interested to see where this one goes.

    1996 tahoe 2 door spare tire location?

    If you're looking for options, I rigged this up on my 99. Used a Curt tire mount, hacked the end off, then bolted it into a hitch mount for a wheelchair basket. The spare folds down out of the way when I need to get in the back, and there's room between the spare and the body for me to mount...

    Here's how to wire an aftermarket stereo in a 97 Tahoe without using a wire harness adapter

    I'm all for saving money, but for less than $20 CDN, Crutchfield has wiring harnesses for just about anything. No need to chop up the factory wiring at all. And using marettes for install in a vehicle? Although I suppose it works, there are so many other inexpensive ways to do this job that...

    Tahoe # 2

    Other than the rear bumper, that looks pretty straight. WIll be cool to see how it cleans up. Wish my '99 had the barn doors.

    Fuel issue - 99 Tahoe LT

    Thanks guys. To my knowledge, the fuel pump has not been replaced. When I plug a reader onto it, there are no codes at all. Will get it over to our shop to have it plugged into their reader, and will have them look specifically at the voltage readings. When I fill it up, the gauge reads full...

    Fuel issue - 99 Tahoe LT

    Did a search, haven't found the answer to this issue. From all the research I've done, it appears that a 1999 Tahoe 4-door should have a fuel tank of roughly 112L. When my fuel gauge is reading just under 1/4 tank, I fill up, and it only takes about 50L until it's full. So from what I can...

    New in Edmonton

    Thanks guys. Going to be a long work in progress, still trying to decide what direction I want to go. For now, it's just clean up and rejuvenation. Interior is mostly clean. Driver's seat leather has some cracks, not sure how easily the repair will be for that. I steamcleaned the carpets, but...
