| I have a 2002 Chevy. Tahoe Z71 that has not had a problem in 70,000 miles. 6 months ago the security light would come on for no apparent reason, every so often it would go into the tamper proof no start mode and let me sit for 10 minutes. I have known the service manager and the service personnel at the dealer since 1988 and found them to be forthright and honest. They checked the codes and said it looked like the Key Housing that was tripping the system. I replaced that at a cost of 278.00. That did not correct the problem. So we talked about what to do next and they said they were not sure and GM was not giving them much to go with as they have the problem with other models and have had poor success with a fix. Hoping someone here can shed some light on this. | |

I have a 2006 Tahoe that is about to go out of manufacturers warranty. I have had problems with the rear hatch and rear door locks. The fuse for the rear locks blows under normal vehicle usage. I have had the vehicle in to be checked about 6 times. The dealer did replace the left door lock actuator due to problems they found with it, they also replaced the fuse block due to a bulletin on this vehicle. They say they can not find any other problems beyond what they have already done. I feel when I take the vehicle in the dealer just lets it sit and then calls me that is done after they put a fuse in. I have tried to diagnose this through using different devices and checking the fuses to no avail. I am not sure what to do. I would appreciate any help with this.

| Does the fuse blow when you try to lock/unlock the rear doors or rear hatch? Or is it already blown when you go to lock? | |

| The accessory fuse(seats, power locks, mirrors) inside is blown. I replaced it once (it's a 12 dollar fuse) and i moved the seat once and it blew again. What could be the problem? It's a 1995 2 dr Tahoe 4wd | |
Check the wiring under the seat to make sure something hasn't worn thru the insulation and is shorting out. Other than that it might be a motor that's gone Tango Uniform.

My 01 Tahoe wont shift from 2wh to 4wh lo or hi, sometimes it goes into auto mode. What is the RPO for the 4x4 mode actuator. Also is hard to install? Is there some link where I can get directions for installing this myself? Thanks...JR

I may be looking to buy a used Chevy Tahoe Z71 or GMC Yukon. It would be my first large SUV. Roughly how much does it cost to fill up one of these babies at the current gas prices ($1.90 - 2.00 per gal)? I'm hearing the MPG averages around 14/18. Anyone getting better results?

The NBS GMT900s hold 26 gallons. Last summer I was paying about $100 to fill. I get about 12 in town and 17 on hwy w/ a best of 19 on one tank.  Was going 55-60 while pulling my jet ski.

| I'm on my second Tahoe. My current is a 2007, Z71. I typically get 16mpg on mixed driving. I have popped off a couple of 20's when I've been on the interstate going across flat country. I just filled up last night and it cost me a shade under $47. I love my truck and can recommend it if you need one. | |
