    05 Tahoe line Lock

    Hi y'all Im considering installing a line lock on my tahoe to do some burnouts with a ***** pair of tires. Couple of questions: Would it be easier to install it to the front or rear? Im okay with either setup as it kind of ends up doing the same thing for me either way. Do I need to install it...

    Headlight Burning

    Hello, I'm having this issue with my 05 tahoe. I've had LED headlights in for months now and decided to throw halogens back in for now to get rid of the fast turn signal relay click because I'm too lazy to put resistors or an LED relay. Every bulb I put in the drivers side gets hot and burns...

    Sunroof Tilt Trouble

    Hi, this has been a problem with my Tahoe for a while. The tilt on the sunroof does not work 99.9% of the time. It goes to close all the way and then gets stuck when it goes to tilt up to close. Eventually I can get it to close but it makes a pretty bad snapping sound, like something is bent. It...

    New Impact Wrench

    Hi y'all, didn't know where to post this so I'll post this here. I'm in the market for a new impact, my $100 chinese made amazon one isn't cutting it. I'm debating between 2 and I need some opinions here. The first is the Hercules Ultra torque, rated at 1500 ft lbs breakaway torque, $300ish for...

    Electric Cooling Fans

    Hello, all my 2005 Tahoe's cooling fans are not coming on no matter what. This is an ongoing issue, that while the truck stays steady at 205-210 while moving, it does climb a bit while sitting at idle for 15+ minutes. Direct 12 volts to the fan shows that they work, so it's wiring for sure...

    2005 Tahoe Towing

    Hello, so in the coming days I'm going to be hauling my dads motorcycle to the dealer about an hour away with my tahoe. Will be using a uhaul bike trailer with a 500lb bike. My question is with the 4l60e do I need to keep it out of overdrive or use towing mode for this load? How do I know when...

    05 Tahoe EBCM

    Hello, so for a really long time my 05 tahoe has had abs codes. It has a ton of them, and I'm wondering now if the EBCM has failed causing all of these codes? I cleaned up the EBCM ground to no avail. All the codes seem to have to do with loosing signal with a circuit, which makes me think the...

    Tahoe idle oil pressure

    Hi so my 05 tahoe with the 5.3 seems to have lowish oil pressure while idling. At idle it has around 25-27psi of oil pressure, compared to a few months ago where it was a steady 35-40psi. Oil was low the other day and I topped it off, but the oil pressure stayed the same.

    Suspension Rebuild

    Hi I'm looking into rebuilding the entire front and rear suspension of my 05 Tahoe. With it being such an old truck I dont want to spend the money on expensive parts. What cheaper brands from RockAuto would you guys recommend? I was looking and SKP and their parts don't look terrible. Also...

    2005 Tahoe Ticking

    Hello, just tonight while taking pictures of my Tahoe I noticed this ticking it's making. It's worrying me a bit, but I don't think it's rod knock at all. It almost sounds like it could be an exhaust manifold leak, or at worst a lifter problem. The sound is only heard at idle and as soon as I...

    loose steering

    Hi, so this has been a problem now for a while on my Tahoe, the steering just doesn't feel very good, the video explains most of all of it. When feeling or hearing for play the only "clunk" I hear is from the CV Axles on either side which I believe to be normal as that also happens on my other...

    G80 Locker

    Hi, so I'm going to be changing to fluid on my 2005 Tahoe with the G80 locker rear diff. However, all of the fluids at the stores seem to have some sort of limited slip additive. Do you guys think it'd be okay to put Mobil 1 75w90 LS into it? I'd rather not have to wait for an Amazon order to...

    Spare tire troubles

    Hi, so on my 05 tahoe I want to drop the spare tire to make more room for replacing the differential cover and gasket, especially since the bolts are round and I need to hammer a socket onto them, so any room helps. Only problem is the spare tire, after down an inch or 2 stops moving. It also...

    Flowmaster Muffler

    Hi so for my 2005 Tahoe I am going to put a Flowmaster 50 series muffler of some sort on it. I like that they're aggressive and semi loud, but are not too obnoxious, compared to the muffler delete right now. My question is, would you guys go with the 50 series delta flow or the 50 series SUV...

    Tahoe Clunk

    Hello, I've been having a clunk in my Tahoe's suspension for a while now, and I've narrowed it down to 2 things. The CV Axle or wheel bearing. Here's a video of the clunk, and you can see a bit of movement/play in the CV Axle, is this normal or is that causing the clunk? The other thing I would...

    ABS Light

    Hello, so my 2005 Tahoe's ABS light has been on for a while with 4 codes. C0222, C0226, C0268, C0291 The ABS light is off till I start driving, and the light comes on instantly. It used to sometimes not come on, but now it comes on all the time. Cleaned the grounds that could cause these...

    Exhaust

    Hello, I am currently fabricating a cheap exhaust for my 05 Tahoe, just a quick question about sizing. If I have a 2.5"id, would a 2.75"id connector fit over that without being super loose? What I'm thinking is since 2.5"id fits over a 2.5"od pipe, wouldn't that make it bigger and a very similar...

    2005 Tahoe Exhaust Size

    Hello, does anyone know what the size of the exhaust is for a 2005 Tahoe LT muffler that has a single in and double out y pipe? I thought it was 3 inch but when I got the pipe and connectors to go over it, it was extremely loose. Thank you!

    2005 Tahoe Transmission

    Hi, so I have a 2005 Tahoe 5.3L V8 4x4 with a bad transmission, and I found a very nice transmission on Marketplace, but just want to make sure it fits. So the used transmission in question was taken from a 2005 GMC Escalade 6.0L V8 4x4. The only thing I see that I'm not sure about is that the...
