A: Looks pretty clean. Tires are fairly worn it looks from the pictures. Carpet/seats look in good condition. Door panels look really good.

The pictures make it look like a good buy. My concern is that it is missing the plastic air dam under the front bumper (what happened to it?!).

108k isn’t bad. I bought my ‘97 with 90k 4 years ago. I now have 192k on it. I replaced the alternator, a/c pump, fuel pump once. had an issue with the torque convertor lock-up solenoid ($100 worth of parts), fixed it in my driveway. Sounds like more of the light-duty trucks are having this issue, but many owners don’t realize it and cook the tranny. Of course the little things like plugs, cap/rotor, idler and pitman arm…

The 1st Gen Vortec motors are common for having fuel pump problems and intake manifold leaks. The fuel pump is simple, just replace the pump… The intake manifold in most cases leaks coolant down the front of the block to the ground. Some worse than others. Mine started leaking slightly at 130k. I’ve never fixed it, no worse than it really is. Some can suck coolant into the combustion chambers and HAVE to be fixed.

I’d go look at it in person if I was in the position to buy it, looks nice, and well optioned.Plus it comes with a warranty. Just the plastic air dam… Was it busted off during wheeling, removed for a reason?!

Q: Chevy Tahoe??
What is the first year available that they offer in a hybrid for the tahoe? is it 2007 or 2008?

Q: My heater setting only works on high setting in my 2002 chevy tahoe, what is the problem?
The heater setting is 1-5 and only 4-5 work on my SUV, Chevy Tahoe, 2002 automobile

A: the blower resistor is bad, if you have auto temp there is an updated part for this

Q: question about a transmission on a 1995 Chevy Tahoe?
mine needs a new one, what years of transmission will fit in it? its a 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4 wheel drive
i thought it was a 4L60, its a full sized tahoe. not quite sure if that makes a difference

A: the transmission is a 4l80e , a common among many of the gm truck lines. you can use anything from a 1991 to 2000 should fit just comapre a few things like the ringgear may have more teeth and such but all in all it is farily easy swap

Q: How do i reprogram a key fob for a chevy tahoe?
i just bought an 02 tahoe and i have a few extra key fobs that i would like to program to use on this truck. how do i program it to work with this truck?

A: Here is the process as per GM. Remember that all your key fobs must be programmed at the same time since once you begin this process the truck erases all previous fobs.

1. Close all the vehicle doors.

2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.

3. Press and hold the door unlock switch.

4. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.

5. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.

6. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of that transmitter.

7. Repeat the previous step to program up to 4 transmitters.

8. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.

9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

Q: Where do I buy chevy tahoe parts?
I need a volume knob for my radio. I have a 99 tahoe.

A: Ford garage?

Q: Which one is better 2010 Chevy Tahoe, 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, or 2010 Ford Expedition?
If any, what color is good?

I was thinking the 2010 Chevy Tahoe because it looks better and its luxury.

If you think there’s some other car that is better than Chevy, Jeep, or Ford. What is it?

A: The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Production started 7 days ago, so they should hit showrooms soon. It looks excellent:
http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-jeep-grand-cherokee/
The platform id derived from the Mercedes M-Class and it’ll be the first car to have Chrysler’s new Pentastar V6, which has impressive power and fuel economy gains. Or of course you could go for the Hemi.

But yeah, between those the Tahoe is best. I’d get the 2011 JGC though because it looks even better. Plus since it’s s smaller SUV it’ll be cheaper than a Tahoe, so you can get a bit more for your money as long as you don’t need more than 5 seats. The JGC is also a proper off roader, the Tahoe isn’t.

Q: Why does the gas gage vibrate on my 99 chevy tahoe?
my 99 tahoe gas gage vibrates, it works and reads how much gas there is, but it vibrates, have any idea what this could be caused from? thanks.

A: Customer Concern: The fuel gauge is vibrating very fast. It looks like it is reading accurately. The vehicle has a single fuel tank.

Tests/Procedures: 1. Has installed a gauge tester or substitute resistors in place of the fuel tank sending unit. 40 ohms for empty, 250 ohms for full. (The sender is linear – 145 ohms for 1/2 tank.)

2. If the gauge is stable in all positions tested, replace the sender in the fuel tank.

3. If the fuel gauge on the cluster still has the rapid movement. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Blue connector. With the key on, connect a gauge tester from pin 9, Purple wire, to ground.

4. Set the tester to 45 ohms, then 90 ohms. Check for a steady needle at a 1/2 tank and then with a full tank. If the fuel gauge still vibrates, repair the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC).

5. If the fuel gauge is steady, verify a good connection at the PCM. If OK, replace the PCM.

Q: will a brush guard for a 06 chevy tahoe fit my 95 chevy pickup?
i am buying a brush guard and i was wondering if a 06 chevy tahoe brush guard will fit my 95 2wd pickup?

A: Third on the nope it wont fit.

You would need to use one from/for an 88-98 OBS (old body style) truck. 99 model SUVs would also work (Tahoe, Suburban…)

All newer models 99+ have a different frame design so the guard will not bolt up to the frame. I’m sure you could modify the guard to fit the truck fairly easily by cutting off the mounts and welding on a type that would bolt to the truck. Use the factory frame holes on the bottom of the frame (there are 3 in a line in the center of the tube). The 2 holes that are closer to the front bumper are the holes that are used for the factory tow hooks. I installed a front receiver hitch (custom made myself) and used the factory tow hook holes as a mounting point (sandwich 1/4″ plate between tow hook and frame). I use it for my 8000lb winch and spotting trailers. So yeah, it will be strong enough!!!

Q: How much does it cost to Charge a Air Conditioner in A 1998 Chevy Tahoe?
My husband’s Tahoe is blowing hot air, when the Air Conditioner is on…he read the A/C needs to be Charged.

A: It’s a little more complicated than that.

Firstly, you need to see if the compressor clutch engages at all, you can do so by popping the hood and turning the A/C on, you should hear a click and the engine dragging down.

if it does turn on, and it turns off and on about every 10 seconds, that means you’re low on R-134a, or you have a clog somewhere in the system.

If it doesn’t cycle at all, that could mean that either it leaked out, a bad fuse, a bad wire, a bad switch, a bad clutch or the compressor is seized.

If it doesn’t engage at all, you should first start by hooking a manifold gauge set to it and see what the pressure is, then charge it accordingly. You can just buy one of those kits with R-134a and a charging hose and try adding a little, but you could risk over charging and that will give you results as bad as if you were low on it. If you live in Canada, the kits are quite hard to find.

I would recommend taking it to a mechanic and having them do some diagnostics on it. Also, I think for a quicky charge at a place like pep boys is like $70 (but don’t quote me on that) if there is no large leaks.

Hope this helps.

Q: Has anyone had any problems with their 2001 Chevy Tahoe and the starter?
My tahoe when cold starts fine. After about 30 minutes of turning the vehicle off, it takes three cranks to get the engine started. Has anyone experienced this? I took it to a mechanic and he had no idea what was wrong with it. Fuel pump, fuel filter was fine as well as the starter.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

A: You should check with your local chevrolet dealers service dept.Please ask them for any Technical Service Bulletins on the issue your having.Best of luck.
