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. | |

Replying to: Mel0132 (Feb 12, 2009 5:41 pm) That begs the question, why do you want a Tahoe? For me and my family's "needs" (wants), after moving up to the Sub and getting used to all the space, I wouldn't be happy with a Tahoe (or Sequoia, Armada, standard length Expedition, ect). The Sub is more useful and costs about the same as a Tahoe to drive and buy. For towing, hauling lots of cargo, or using the rear seat, the Sub is hands-down better, due to the longer wheel base and functional rear seat (which is nearly as comfortable as the middle row, unlike the Tahoe, which basically has a seat sitting on a flat floor), and there is almost as much storage room behind the 3rd seat of the Sub as there is beind the second seat of the Tahoe (w/ 3rd seat removed). The lack of a fold-flat rear seat is no issue in the Sub, b/c when you tumble it forward, there is enough room for just about anything -- I've only had to pull the rear seat out once or twice, unlike my brother, who is always installing and removing the rear seat in his Tahoe due to space limitations. We had a Dodge Durango before the Sub (we were actually shopping for Tahoes, and found a great deal on an '04 Durango, and I regretted buying it for the 2 years we had it), which is similar is length to a Tahoe, and have found the Sub to meet our needs far better. Of course, we tow a 28 ft. travel trailer in the summer and we put 6-8 people in the Sub quite frequently, so we use and need the Sub's maximum capabilities. But if you aren't doing these things frequently, and are worried about gas mileage, you probably don't need, and may not be happy with a full-size SUV -- there are cheaper, more efficient vehicles out there, to be sure. Which brings me back to the thought that if you want a Tahoe to actually do full-size SUV things with, the Sub is better at virtually all of them than the Tahoe. The only thing better/more useful would be a diesel Suburban (crossing fingers that GM comes through w/ the baby Duramax!). Not trying to start a flame war or anything -- Just some thoughts based on my experience. The Sub has a bigger tank (31 gals), but it costs about $45 to fill up here w/ $1.65 gas (last summer -- $125+ ), and unless we are taking a trip or something, that lasts us about 3 weeks on average. If you can't already tell, I think they are great trucks!
