Hello Peeps,
I have a 17 Tahoe RWD w trailer max package that I bought last year after trading my 08 in. For the last 6 months ive been having the following issues:
1. Harsh upshift 1-2 only when cold
2. Hars downshift when braking, no matter the temp
The fluid and filter were replaced just...
Thanks. I got the paperwork from the dealer and the mechanic replaced both motor mounts, flushed transmission and replaced shocks all before selling it to me
I checked the pan and there was no active oil / seeping. My mechanic only noted that the oil pan gasket was probably replaced in the past because there was old sludge but nothing active.
Where exactly is the inspection port if you don't mind telling me?
Thanks
So a while back I posted that I had some oil drops in the driveway and when I looked under the Tahoe it was seeping near the transmission pan. About 3 weeks ago I finally had my mechanic replace the oil cooler gasket as suggested. On Friday, I noticed 2 oil drops back on the driveway so I went...
Thanks for all the info!
Question since ya’ll are so knowledgeable: What would lifter replacement cost at a mechanic normally and what other parts would I replace while doing that without much other labor?
Just trying to get a ballpark of how much I need to save down the road.
Thanks again!
Thanks, ill order the parts and have my mechanic do it next oil change. Is it best to order the whole oil cooler line assembly seeing as they are the original ones on the car? Only $54 on RockAuto
Thanks. Is it a hard job to do the oil cooler line and block off gaskets being a 4WD?
Also, any insight on the oil thats on the rubber boot next to the transmission pan? Its not far from the oil filter but looks far enough to me to be a seperate leak than that.
my oil pressure actually increased...
Back on here for more recs as ya’ll were helpful last time. Me hanic is booked until next week.
08 Tahoe 4WD 103k miles
Lokls like there is some oil build up right above the filter (housing) and also looks like some oil on a part near the transmission pan, although there is no sign of any leak...
I got a guage myself and realized why the O’Reilly guy said it was good. He was measuring it when the compressor was not engaging. I got a gauge myself and when the compressor engaged, it went to the LOW side. I got an small r134a recharge bottle and the problem is almost fixed(barely hit the...
Thanks. I will have my mechanic put it on real a/c gauges on my next oil change. We live in Los Angeles, ambient temp right now is 60’s but it will be getting hot soon lol. Luckily, it still blows cold for a/c and hot for the heater
Ok, after filming it it seems like its going on and off. Went to O’Reilly and they tested the refrigerant level and it was perfect (green). I did not see any Deslugger either. Here is the video. Could it be a bad pressure switch?
I think it’s done this since owning it since Nov 2021 but can’t remember. It’s def more noticeable. Yes its a clicking of the clutch cycling on and off. Ill try and post a video in an hour
I will look and let you know, thank you for that info! I am the second owner, the first and original owner was Border Patrol and it was used on the Border in Arizona.
You all have been helpful in the past.
I am trying to figure out if my A/C compressor clutch needs to be replaced. The A/C and heater works fine, there are no leaks, no check engine codes and the freon charge is perfect however whenever I turn the A/C on, the compressor makes a bit of noise...
Unrelated to my other post which was solved, I forgot to mention I have a P0496 code. I have replaced the Purge Valve (two times, both GM), the connector and the tube and the code keeps coming back. I read that the code *might* also be the charcoal canister and I just put two and two together...
Wanted to update everyone.
The noise was getting bad so I took it to one of my friend’s friend who works on cars in his garage, he used to be a dealer tech. The following was done:
1. New throttle body
2. Cleaned the intake manifold, there was mud inside lol
3. Replaced oil pickup tube o-ring
4...
Thank you both! Throttle body getting replaced Saturday and I will change the oil again too while I’m at it. Oil pressure every now and then goes to 15psi only when its really cold but it always stays above 25 when the car is warm and stays that way. Should I change anything else beaides the oil...
Thank you!
#1 How much labor is it to change bkth motor mounts?
#2 yes you are correct, I occassionally have the oil pressure drop and it’s proly the o-ring. I ran motor flush and changed the oil with good synthetic and its helped. Because its 4WD I know changing the oil pump and o-ring is very...
Good Morning Ya'll,
08 Tahoe 4WD here with 99k miles and recently I have had two issues I wish anyone can help me out with.
1. Only when turning off the car, there is a shuddering noise. It is not present when starting or during driving, only when I turn the key off. This happens whether the a/c...
I have an 08 Tahoe 4x4 with 90k mikes, ex border patrol. For the past two months, I’ve noticed oil building up near the first spark plug on the driver’s side. No oil on the floor, no oil loss on the dipstick but after I clean it with a rag, it comes back in 2 days. I pulled the spark plug and...
