plastic "housing" on ceiling? by alston28
Jun 06, 2008 (7:20 am)

Is there a term for the plastic "housing" attached to the ceiling above the middle front seat, adjacent to the windshield? The covers the OnStar stuff and 2 ceiling lights. Anyway, it seems to have come unattached at the end adjacent to the windshield. Does the entire housing need to be replaced? Is this something I can do, or do I need to take it to the dealer? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. As I pointed out, there were no visible signs of leaks or drips from gaskets or the water pump. The engine was very clean. I took it over to an independent mechanic and he went on-line to a website called "ALL DATA on Line" which appears to be a pay site & bam, there it was: "Engine - Coolant Loss With No Visible Leaks" This problem is not isolated to to Chevy Tahoes. Appears to effect several GM models and even Saabs from 2001-2006.
Castech is the manufacturer for the cylinder heads that can have a defect that shows up as a porosity leak and even a small crack (in the cylinder head). "ALL DATA" recommends replacing the cylinder heads, i.e., $1,500.00 - $2,500.00 (estimate) while GM shows no remorse or responsibility. If you have direct contacts with the GM reps, let me know the feed-back you get.
Thanks

rear brake light, transmission service by alston28

Right rear brake light went out during warranty period - approx. 32,000 miles, 33 months. At dealer now - indication is that it's a warranty item. Service advisor keeps trying to push the transmission service on me. Online owner's manual says 100,000 miles, or maybe 50,000 miles depending on how Tahoe is driven. Mine is about 60-65% highway, rest in town. Think I'll wait until at least 50,000 miles.

Absolutely do not need the transmission service at this time.

Did you ever figure out how to fix that squeaky noise in your Tahoe? I have a 2003 and I am having the same problem.
