Problems with the 99 Chevy Tahoe by confusedontl
Mar 08, 2006 (1:11 pm)

I have a friend that has a 1999 Chevy Tahoe and is having some major problems. She is having problems starting the vehicle. They have changed everything from sensor wires, gas tank, battery, vacumn hose, so many things we cant remember. The problems is when she starts it...it just does like there is no gas going to the engine to boost it to start. It's hard to explain. We have taken it to 2 different dealers. They hook it up to the machines but cant seem to find out whats wrong. Has anyone ever had problems like this. Please help.

OK! So, I'm not going crazy here. I've heard this same popping noise on my 2001 Tahoe LT. I would put money on it coming from the gas tank. It makes this popping noise when running or not. Sounds like it's gonna blow up. Major combustion noise!! And, now, I've got the service engine soon light coming on. Parts store detected EGR Flow & CK flow??? Anyone having evaporative emissions problems? Funky thing is, the sevice light will go out after putting gas in & filling up. Not everytime, but seems to be a pattern?? And yes! the gas cap is always being put back on correctly! :o)Then hello, after driving for say 30 miles or so, lights back on??? Prolly going to break down & take it to a GM dealer....ARGH!!!!!!!!! Would love to have a heads up, so they don't try taking me to the cleaners! Thanks!

I'm fairly sure the poping noise you here is from the heat shields expanding and contracting. Our 03 tahoe does it. Our 2001 Subura does it too, but not as loud.

Hey Jay! Thanks for the response! I'm just glad I know what it is now. I've never owned a vehicle that has done that b-4. In talking w/a few other people today, they're saying the same thing. Just hope this service engine soon light stops it's fits SOON! Thanks again! :o)

I have a 2001 Tahoe, I've just recently replaced mine. After lifting the hood, there is a pin(metal rod) that you pull out & that will release the main headlight for removal. Once removed, then access to the running lamp bulb is just below that. Same deal for both sides! Hope this helps!

gurgling sound in dash of 04 tahoe by dblhelix
Mar 20, 2006 (11:34 pm)

Recently noted a gurgling sound in the dash of my '04 tahoe w/45K miles. Best description is it sounds like water sloshing around inside the dash, both behind the instrument panel and the glove box. The noise seems affected by engine RPM, but the engine itself sounds fine. Maybe related to the cooling system? Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks!

'05 Z71 by hotsauce

I am considering the purchase of a '05 Z71 with 25,000 miles. It is in very good condition and this is my second tahoe purchase (first Z71). Any thoughts from other Z71 owners about any problems you have had in the past or currently having with the '05 model.

Power Steering Pump by doug01

I have an 01 Z71, last night I ended up in a clay ditch on the side of the road in GA.... Anyways I ended up getting out by aggressively rocking back and forth. After I got it out I noticed the power steering not working 100%, today the pump is making noise. Planning on replacing the pump, any suggestions, any other similar problems???

Have '05 LS with auto suspension with 5.3L Flex Fuel. Get Avg. Econ of 17.4. Have since the beginning. Currently has 23K miles as of this writing.
 
Have a strange problem that dealers, as well as myself have yet to figure out. It only happens when in the Auto 4WD mode. When accelerating b/w 25-40 miles hour, I can really feel a noticeable skipping, hesitation, or an emulated feeling of misfiring.
 
First of all, it’s very difficult to articulate. However, very rough feeling needless to say. Doesn't happen in 2WD mode at all. Smooth as a baby's bottom. All this on smooth highway. Ran all scanners to no avail. Last dealer reset tranny memory, and obviously didn't work.
 
My first inclination was it has to be the tires or the wheels are unbalanced, because the AUTO 4WD mechanism is looking a situation in which the vehicle needs 4 wheel drive or else it drives no different than 2WD and that skipping is in search of something, like the tires are trying to grab or dig in the road surface. .
 
If anybody has had this problem or similar problem and/or can help, please reply.
 
Thanks in advance.
