Have 2004 1500 z71 w/off road packg.over even slight bumps it sounds like a broken shock nocking/thumping noise. I found when I push against the cross member that connects the torsion bars to the frame with my foot I get the noise . The dealer 2x says nothing wrong. It is obviously loud. rubber mounts don't look broken any others have the same problem out there ? thank you

Have a 2004 1500ls when it shifts to 2nd sometimes it bangs in and other times it's fine. when i accelerate a little heavier it seems to shift 2x in second gear.I feel it shift to 2nd then a hesitation(not a slip)then I feel it catch. It seems as if there is 2 sets of 2nd gear clutch packs, one goes in then the other. dealer says within specs. no problem found any others out there with same problem? jim

Oil can / Popping sound by jboggz

My 2002 Z-71 recently started making a sound similar to an oil can popping. It almost sounds like it is coming from the gas tank. It makes the sound quite often even after the car is turned off. It's pretty loud too. Anyone had this problem before?

Another noise problem with my 2002 Tahoe Z-71 is the front end squeaks and is most noticeable at low speeds.

Problem Memory Seats by k71

Have a new '05 Z71 and have had difficulty with the memory seats. Neither the drivers side memory buttons (1 or 2) seem to maintain the saved setting, nor do the keys or remote. Wanted to see if anyone else is having a similar problem with the '05. Also wondering if I correct in assuming the the remote controls should be able to trigger the memory setting as well as the driver memory buttons - my understanding from the sales person.

I have a 2002 Tahoe also with the same type of noise. Have you found the solution yet?

I too just purchased an '05 Z71 Tahoe. I have been able to have the memory buttons remember my seating positions.
 
Whe I first looked at a Tahoe early last week, the salesman is the one who directly told me that the the remotes were labeled #1 and #2. And that when Driver #1 used Remote #1 that the Tahoe would use Driver Memory #1. And the same for the #2 drive/remote/memory. But I'll be damned if I can make it work or find any reference to it in the manual.
 
If you find any informaiton on this, please let me know.
Thanks,

Seat Programming... by mitzij

Memory Seat
(buttons located on driver's door, round, marked 1 and 2)
These buttons are used to program and recall memory settings for the driver's seat, throttle and brake pedals and both the driver's and passenger's outside mirrors. The settings for these features can be saved for up to two drivers.
 
To store the settings, do the following:
 
While the vehicle is in PARK (P), adjust the driver's seat, including the seatback recliner, lumbar, and side wing area, throttle and brake pedals and both of the outside mirrors to your preference.
Press and hold the 1 or 2 button of the memory control for three seconds. A double chime will sound to let you know that the position has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the preceding steps, but press the other numbered memory control button.
 
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound and the memory position will be recalled.
 
To stop recall movement of the memory seat feature at any time, press one of the memory buttons or power seat controls.
 
Easy Exit Seat
The controls for this memory function are located on the driver's door.
 
(Easy Exit Seat):
(oval button with picture of car and arrow)
  This button is used to program and recall the desired driver's seat position when exiting/entering the vehicle. The seat position can be saved for up to two drivers.
 
To store the seat exit position, do the following:
 
Press and release the 1 or 2 button. The seat will move to the stored memory position.
Adjust the seat to the desired exit position.
Press and hold the exit button of the memory control for three seconds. A double chime will sound to let you know that the position has been stored for the selected button (1 or 2).
To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the preceding steps, but press the other numbered memory control button.
 
To use the seat exit position, press the exit button on the memory control.
 
I bugged the salesmen up front about the remotes. Newer Tahoes/Suburbans/Trailblazers do not have a connection between the remotes and seat memory. Now you have to push the button on the door to get the seat to move to your favorite position. They tell me it's been that way for a couple of years.

With my truck, after the steering shaft was replaced something sqeaked at low speeds.dealer lubed the bushing where the shaft goes thru the firewall.It squeaked again a few days later, I found it to be the emergency brake cable where it goes into the firewall.sounds like front end. WD40 and no squeak.

I just got an '05 Envoy and was told the same thing from the dealer. Found out later that starting with the '05 model year, you cannot recall the memory seats using the remote, you MUST push the 1 or 2 on the door. This is VERY inconvenient and a BIG step backwards.
 
Dealer also told me that enough people complained about this new "feature" on the escalade, and GM rewrote the software to include the recall from remote function. I have been complaining to GM for weeks now, hopefully they will fix it for my Envoy.
