#6232 of 6309 Re: 2003 Tahoe CD Player Problem? [bho11] by zendrat Nov 26, 2007 (8:58 am)
Replying to: bho11 (Feb 29, 2004 11:08 am) CD player won't initialize after inserting an original CD that had just been copied. Chevy service department says that the original CD is now corrupted, broke CD player and can't be repaired. Anyone have any solutions? Replies to this message: kiawah (Nov 26, 2007 11:42 am)

As much as I love most things about my 2004 Tahoe, I'd never buy another one because the gas mileage sucks bad!! I feel suitably guilty about driving such a gas guzzler and hope America wakes up and lets the auto manufacturers know they have got to make serious changes to avoid pouring any more money into the greedy oil people's hands!! I suppose they are all in cahoots!! If I was you, I'd look around and do some research to find something else to drive.
#6236 of 6309 Used Tahoe Pricing by sagelake Nov 29, 2007 (6:19 pm)
I'm looking at buying a 2002-2004 Tahoe. Seeing as how its nearly December, when is the vehicle a year older regarding values - calendar year or model year ? Will the vehicle be cheaper in Jan or Feb as opposed to December. I found one private party with a 2004, 37000 miles for $19k.Seems like a decent deal but the local dealers are about the same with higher mileage 50-60k.

Replying to: 73shark (Nov 12, 2007 9:51 pm) How much was the module? I'm having the same problem with all doors not working. Did they have to re-program the remote transmitters? Replies to this message: 73shark (Dec 03, 2007 12:22 pm)

#6239 of 6309 Tahoe misfire code by mtr3 Dec 21, 2007 (10:48 am)
Took tahoe to R&S Strauss b/c check engine light turned on. Diagnostic code said to tune up--performed--light still on--next read O2 sensors--replaced both--light still on now reads random misfire code AND now the truck is idling at 4500 RPMs????What the hell is going on. Truck runs fine, but a slight hiccup when idling and running. At low speed (<5 mph) the truck jumps back and forth until it picks up speed. Any suggestions Replies to this message: johnny4016 (Dec 21, 2007 11:30 am)

Replying to: mtr3 (Dec 21, 2007 10:48 am) I own a 204 Tahoe Z71. I was having similar problems with the check engine light. I would diagnose it myself and erase the codes. Finally I had enough of this and decided to take off the K&N Cold Air Intake and put the stock one back on. I also ran pure fuel injection cleaner through two tanks of fuel. I also have a Bully Dog Programmer that was installed. I took it off also. I normally drive 55mph and do not give it hardly any gas when I take off from a stop. I floored the gas pedal a few times to try and put as much pressure into the fuel injectors and clean them out. The engine light did not come back on. So I put the Bully Dog Program back on and have drove a few thousand miles since and the engine light still has not come back on. My problem I believe was with the fuel injectors being partially clogged and possible the K&N Cold Air Intake not having a good seal. If I were you I would first invest in a diagnose tool that you could buy just about at any auto parts store. The price on these tools has come down considerable since I bought mine. Secondly I would buy some fuel injector cleaner. I prefer to use the best one that is on the stores shelves when I use a bottle of injector cleaner. It's up to you, it's always better to read the labels on the bottles and see what they actually do and what chemicals they have in their product. My Tahoe ran fine also, but at stops I did notice that it was starting to shake a little bit. I had the codes PO101, 171 and a couple more that basically deal with fuel related problems. Since my Tahoe does not have an external fuel filter and had less than 50K miles on it when the problem started I started off with trying to get the fuel injectors clean. If that did not work the next thing I would have done would have been to replace my O2 sensors. I have all new plugs and plug wires, so I know that they are good. The stock air filter is basically brand new. I had no vacuum leaks. If the injectors did not work and the O2 sensors did not work the next thing that I would have done would have been to replace the internal fuel filter. Thank God all it was, was dirty fuel injectors. When you romp on the gas you do not need to keep your foot on the pedal after it tachs out. Your purpose is to just make as much pressure as possible to blow out the injectors. This only takes about 50 feet or so to do. I did it a few times. And yes it cleared up the problem. It has been at least 10K miles or more and it also does not shake anymore. I hope that this helped. Good Luck E.M.S. PS. The brakes on Tahoe are really bad. I mean that as a fact. I bought a 07 Chrysler 300 SRT Design last month and the brakes on it are a lot better than my Tahoe's are. It almost feels like I have manual brakes in my Tahoe. Most people on here probably do not even now what manual brakes are. Well empty your power steering fluid out and try steering, or keep your engine off and try to turn the wheel. This is manual steering, manual brakes is just like manual steering. In the 60ties and 70ties that was basically all we had in most vehicles. For some reason Chevy did not give much attention to the brakes on the Tahoe when they designed it. I'm sure that there are after market brakes that work 100% better, but why should the consumer have to pay for new brakes, calipers, Rotors, etc just so that their vehicle has better stopping power. The Tahoe should have been designed with brakes that could stop it at normal speeds. Unfortunately it does not, or at least my 04 Z71 does not have the right braking system on it. I sure hope that no one gets hurt because of the lack of braking power on the Tahoe's. This should be a safety check that our government people should have checked out. Apparently it was never checked out, otherwise it would not have left the shop in the condition that it is in.

My 2002 tahoe shakes and makes a funny growl when making a sharp turn. Not the tire presure, balancing or the alignment. What could this??? Replies to this message: mtr3 (Dec 21, 2007 1:02 pm) 73shark (Dec 21, 2007 10:36 pm)
