#517 of 580 Re: tahoe w/p & brakes/pad [dkcreech] by 73shark Mar 28, 2009 (5:17 pm)
Replying to: dkcreech (Mar 28, 2009 6:35 am) Not sure why they would need to be replaced if they weren't warped. I really doubt if they'd never been turned before that they'd be too thin to use. That really should have been the first pad replacement for the rears unless there was hardly any hwy miles. FYI: for future reference, the min. thickness is stamped in the rotor. But that's just so someone doesn't turn them below that and make them too thin.   Usually seeping is a sign of impending failure in my experience. When the seal goes, then you lose coolant fast.
#518 of 580 Oil pressure and temp gauge by suzydall Apr 05, 2009 (5:24 pm)
Hi guys, I am a newbie and need all the help I can get. I have a 2001 Chevy Tahoe LS with 143,000 miles on it. Yesterday morning when I got in it there was an awful ticking noise and it was running bad. The oil pressure is usually great, if anything it runs a little high. Yesterday, it was running around 30. I took it directly to my brother. The ticking sounded like it was coming from the valve cover on the drivers side. He pulled it off and it was thick with milky looking oil. We cleaned them up and replaced the gaskets. When I drove home last night the ticking was gone. I got up this morning the ticking is back the oil pressure is down again and now the low coolant light is on and the temperature is down slightly. Am I in real trouble here? What kind of problem am I looking at? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am not a big money girl and my car isn't throwing any codes. I don't want to keep driving and do any damage.   Thanks in advance! Susie Replies to this message: kiawah (Apr 05, 2009 6:10 pm)

Replying to: suzydall (Apr 05, 2009 5:24 pm) Well the milky looking oil means the water from the radiator has gotten into your engine. That could be from a blown headgasket, or a worse internal engine problem. The head gasket is between the engine block and the heads (which have the valves that you undoubtedly saw when you took the valve covers off).   Since your coolant light is also on, you have a definite problem. Do not drive it.

Replying to: nkturnl (Apr 06, 2009 7:06 pm) Check to see that the wheel sensors were put back in place, or one may have been damaged. Check also to see that you have enough brake fluid in the master cylinder.   Regarding your rear AC, is the symptom that the fan speed does not adjust and blow higher volumes of air? or is the symptom that the air flow is correct, but it's not cold enough?

Replying to: kiawah (Apr 07, 2009 4:01 am) thanks it was on for a few min. now i have driven it alot more it hasnt come on at all. fluid is fine and thr sensers looked ok. abiut the ac it blows fine in the back it just doesnt blow cold at all. the front is perfect. any idea why the tahoe is stalling when i take a turn at a very slow speed.it fires right back up when it stalls.and it does it at all diff levels of fuel. that has been bugging me for years.i took it into the dealership and they charged me 800 buck and didnt fix it.its really starting to worry me cuz my daughter is starting to drive now.

Replying to: mike123 (Apr 10, 2009 3:20 pm) Take it and have any error codes read out of the computer, many auto parts chains will do it for free.   Brake Warning indicator is set by: - BCM body control module detects park brake is engaged - BCM detects low brake fluid condition - IPC performs bulb check - EBCM detects ABS disablilng malfunction   ABS indicator is set by: - EBCM detects an ABS disabling malfunction - IPC performs bulb check - IPC detects a loss of serial data communication w/EBCM - a DTC is set during previous ignition cycle Replies to this message: mike123 (Apr 10, 2009 6:48 pm)
