Replying to: mmercuri (Mar 11, 2009 4:57 am) Again, it sounds like your shock absorbers are all gone. For a 9 year old truck you should change them anyway. And they are not really that expensive. Do you think your tires are in a good balance, i.e. do you feel any kind of vibration in the steering wheel other than when shaking goes very bad? It could be that when you hit a bump it gives the suspension spring system an impulse that is then kept vibrating by off balance tires. How about tire wear? Do they wear evenly. i.e. no outside or inside edge wear? The big shaking should be taken care of with new set of shocks and tires should be in such balance that you feel absolutely no vibration when you drive. You can test shocks by applying weight on front bumper (same for rear). When you remove the weight the truck should raise up and then slightly down and stop at its normal resting position. If you see any movement up again your shocks are to be replaced. i.e. shock absorbers should stop the up-and-down movement at 3/4 point of the vibration cycle and not start up again. Arrie |

| I have an 03 Chevy Tahoe Z71 -- the ac seems to work but the fan doesn't blow at ll unless you are going down the road pretty fast it will blow out some. I checked the BLOWER fuse and it was fine. It seems to me that this might be a wiring issue. Does anyone know where the ac fan is located in the engine so I can check the wire going to it? Also, what other things can I check myself before having to have it looked at by a professional. Thanks | |

Replying to: kiawah (May 22, 2009 9:00 pm) For instance, if you had a bad fuel pump or some obstruction in the fuel delivery, you might have enough fuel to start after the engine was rested, but not enough to keep it running. Who has determined that all of those parts had to be replaced? Seems you could have had a mechanic spend an hour of time diagnosing this problem, before throwing all kinds of expensive parts at it. If you're not a mechanic and don't have any diagnostic tools, then I'd suggest getting it towed to a competent/reliable mechanic, and have him diagnose the problem and fix it for you. He can do compression tests on the cylinders to know that the internals of the engine are okay. He can check the fuel pressure to validate fuel delivery. He can check the engine computer, to see what error codes might have been recorded, etc. You could randomly throw 20 more parts at this and still not find the problem. |
