    Rear wiper Motor

    Not sure if this helps. My 05 Tahoe rear wiper motor did not work since I bought vehicle used about 5 yrs ago, checked fuses, etc.. I toyed with the idea of replacing it until I read ’somewhere’ that sometimes grounding does not work on these very well - read door is basically aluminum...

    Replacement Seat Covers

    Yes, the Velcro was on the seat cover replacements, and in the correct location to make alignment smooth. I tried one of the vinyl seat covers - was even perforated. Uggh! Aside from not being able to slide out easily, they were hot to sit on. This was truly “the last straw” before I swapped out...

    Replacement Seat Covers

    P.s., my foam was good to start with as the previous owner had new heated seat elements installed, and added the foam to his project. But new foam can be purchased from these guys as well

    Replacement Seat Covers

    Hello y5e06, I know all about your hesitation… my 05 Tahoe drivers seat was extremely cracked and ripped. After numerous stitches with a curved upholstery needle, I’d had enough. Ordered this seat off eBay, with much trepidation. Costs for piece are quite reasonable, but I’m in Canada so really...

    Heater Hose "T"

    Yea, I tried to use mini vice grips (set quite loosely on the clips), Worked to depress clips, but had best results was using fingers only. Mine went at 178k miles (seems about par for the course, mileage wise).

    Heater Hose "T"

    Thanks! I tend to over-explain the process. Seems obvious and simple, but some of us members like to see it spelled out in detail (Minimize any surprises)

    Heater Hose "T"

    Hi All! After reading all threads (some a few times…) I replaced the dreaded T’s this aft. Pretty much as described - the white (in-going to heater core) was easiest to remove. Started at the firewall connection by first pushing in, then depress ‘tabs’ while pulling. Then started with outgoing...

    Heater Hose "T"

    Thank you Blk00ss for posting this, and thanks to all who have sent in replies to this issue. I’ve suspected this leak ‘problem’ for a while now, it just isn’t consistent - flares up with very minimal fluid lose but can smell A-Freeze, and then goes away for a month or two, then reappears. I’ll...

    Smell of gas…

    Ouch! … but mine is okay - I took someone’s steel garbage into a brand new Nokian winter tire a few months ago while on the highway. Found out the hard way how to change a tire in a winter storm with no shoulder to work on, while on a busy 2 lane rural highway. The spare tire system worked well...

    Smell of gas…

    Good additional advice, thanks! I already have a siphon pump, but the spare tire makes a lot of sense. Cheers, Dwayne

    Smell of gas…

    hi again Logan5, some questions about dropping the tank - before dropping the tank, did you siphon off some gas first? Or did you just run the tank low? I’m definitely wanting to do this the safest way possible.

    Smell of gas…

    Thanks Logan5, I might just try doing it myself. I had a 2001 Safari that needed a new fuel pump installed a few years back. The bill was ~$1,000 CDN - ouch! So if you say it can be done easily, I’ll pursue that. Cheers!

    Smell of gas…

    Yea, makes sense.

    Smell of gas…

    No smell when I fill, and I try to top it up beyond the click-stop by a few $, usually another 2-4 litres (CDN, eh? ). I’ll try your suggestion as well

    Smell of gas…

    It’s gas on this 05. Got an excellent tip from MO VietVet about checking for leaks while it’s static and idling. I also like your suggestion about pulling the left rear wheel to examine the pump. Even though this vehicle is currently in Vancouver and very limited salt use up here, previous...

    Smell of gas…

    Hi OR VietVet! its always parked inside garage. Live in Vancouver, so salt use on roads is minimal at best. I really like your suggestion of park brake/idle and wait to see. Makes sense that it would be easier to see if it’s a live idling situation. As I said, I had a good look at the areas...

    Smell of gas…

    Yea, sounds logical, although this vehicle has always started well - no fuel line pressure issues. question for you… did you replace the fuel pump etc., on your own, or take it to a shop? I’m a pretty handy DIY’er but something like that I’d rather take it in to someone I trust, once I’m more...

    Smell of gas…

    2005 Tahoe, 4WD: Been awhile since I’ve posted… recently drove home in a bad winter rain storm. Upon parking in garage, a noticeable gas door occurred. No ‘service engine’ warning, and no codes appeared using OBD (Sorry if I’m not using the correct vernacular). Gas tank was ~ 3/4 full. Both of...

    2000 Tahoe service 4WD light

    You may be correct. However, when I had a problem with the grounding of the 4WD system a few yrs ago, and I had cleaned and reconnected all obvious grounds. Then someone on this forum suggested this process; I completed the suggestion. The results were a full functioning of the selector switch...

    2000 Tahoe service 4WD light

    Yup - it’s been awhile, but I followed this suggestion a few years ago. I found the black ground wire in the harness (drivers side, near manifold) and created another ground off of this wire (splice into but leaving original in tact), attaching this ‘new‘ ground directly to a grounding point on...

    Back up camera...'05 Yukon... a safe location?

    Ditto! Did much the same as you (05 Tahoe), ran cable to front under door trim, etc.. ‘Wired’ the camera cable to back-up light socket wire on drivers side - easy peasy! Have had the camera lens installed on licence plate for 4 years. Absolutely no problem - correct height and viewing angle...
