I've noticed and finally measured to confirm that my 2004 Z71 is lower on the driver side that the passenger side. It's quite noticeable when I stand about 10-15 feet behind the vehicle. I thought I read somewhere that there is an adjustment that can be made to level the vehicle. Could it be with those bars underneath toward the front that can be adjusted?? My warranty just ran out in January and hopefully can convince dealer to do work for free, if not just for being a good customer (2nd "new" Tahoe I bought from them over the years)should be worth something.

For the past month my 2001 Tahoe will die when I am slowing down coming to a stop or putting it in gear and taking off. This has happened between 6-8 times. The battery and its connections have been checked and are fine, so I am wondering what could be the problem? Any ideas?

I just purchased and installed the Bully Dog Gas Power Pup on my 2004 Tahoe Z71, 5.3L Vortex engine. It is amazing. I can only tell you right now that the HP increase is awesome. I haven't had it on long enough to drive that many miles to tell you if it helps with the mpg or not, I sure hope it does. I use 91 Octane because my Tahoe performs a lot better with the higher Octane and gets better mpg with the higher Octane. Of course I have to pay the extra for the 91 Octane compared to 87, but in the long run it is worth it. Anything that will allow the engine to run better and last longer. My Tahoe’s Rev Limiter was set at 95 mph. I was able to raise this to 135 mph. Not that I will drive 135 mph. It is nice to have the extra power. I did check it out prior to raising it and it was true, set at 95mph stock, and after installing the program I tried it out and lets just say at 110 mph I still had at least a 1/2 pedal left when I let up on the pedal. The Programmer has 3 different power levels. Stock, Tow and Performance. Tow is for better fuel economy and is where I have it set at right now. I tried it out on Performance and was awe struck. The power increase and HP with WOT is out of this world. You can set the programmer for the Octane level that you use 91, 89 or 87. Raise or Lower the Trans Shift points, Tune the engine for Stock, Tow or Performance. It has a few other programs on it also and will also check your vehicle for any codes and clear them. Also the Bully Dog can be up-graded. Mine already had an upgrade for it the day I purchased it. It was simple to do. Basically plug the programmer into your computer and download the upgrade program. It is free and doesn’t cost a penny to upgrade. I would recommend the Bully Dog Programmer over Hyper-Tech, Jet, Jegs, Predator, or any other one out there. I researched and read all the above programs and comments posted on the Internet from people who unfortunately bought one of them and had problems and were not satisfied. I can’t wait until this summer when I hook up my trailer and see how the programmer works towing. I did notice that without the trailer hooked up and pushing the tow mode button on the shift lever gave it a lot more power and performance. I do have a few other upgrades on my Tahoe. I have the K&N 5700 Series Cold Air Intake System, MSD Super Conductor 8.5-mm plug wires, E3 Plugs, and I have put on the MAG-HYTEC Transmission pan and Rear Differential Cover. I run 0Wx30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil, 80Wx90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil and Full Synthetic Dexron III Transmission fluid. I’ve recently had both Differentials serviced. Transmission serviced and my Transfer case service also with the Auto Trac II. I do have a couple questions. Someone posted that the EGR valve builds up a lot of carbon in it? Where is this located at on the 5.3L? Also, the fuel filter. I’ve looked for it on the driver’s side right below the back and front door on the frame. This is where I was told the inline fuel filter is located. The only thing that I see there is a small black and silver container with electrical lines and what appear to be fuel lines going into and out of, possible an external fuel pump. I do not see any fuel filter there. I’ve looked all up and down on both sides of the frame and still can not find an inline fuel filter. Does anyone know where it might be? Thanks.
