You are in the Chevrolet Suburban & Tahoe Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| i have a 1998 tahoe w/20" wheels. I have too much play in steering wheel & the vehicle is always pulling left or right. I have went to several repair shops in the last few years w/no success. I was also told to seek out a front end specialist. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? I live in the New York area. If I should go to a front end specialist, does anyone know one? Help!!! | |

Your post was 03/05/2008, so you probably don't have the same Tahoe. If you were able to get it diagnosed, I would be very interested to know what you found out.

| Hi there, my name is Tina, I am in Wyoming. I have a 2002 Tahoe, and it feels like my tranny is slipping. It revs up but does not really catch right away. It almost feels like a fuel injection problem and by the way we just put in a fuel pump last month and did it ourself. Could you give me an opinion please I was stranded in Ft. Collins, CO. and decided to turn back home to Wyoming just in case something was very wrong. I am pregnant and have 3 kids with me and I am in a panic. I have done the obvious like check the fluid and added some. It marked full. I checked the fluid in neutral, I think that is the right way. ???? Could it just be the Torque converter? | |
My 1996 Tahoe was having terrible problems starting and running correctly. The initial diagnosis was the crankshaft position switch was malfunctioning. After almost $2000 dollars of replacing the sensor, engine tune-up, fuel filter and fuel pump I was still having the same problems, but not all the time. I had a local mechanic due the work and he said take it to Chevy and have them diagnose the problem, which they determined was still the crankshaft position switch was malfunctioning. Since my mechanic had done the original work I took the Tahoe back to him with the Chevy diagnosis problem. He crawled under the truck with it running and saw the sensor moving around while it was running. He took the sensor out and discovered that one of the mounting bolts screws into a brass fitting inside the plastic timing chain cover. The brass fitting was loose and just needed a screw driver inserted into it to spread it to increase the tension on the plastic cover. My mechanic put it back together and it resolved all my problems, meaning most of the $2000 dollars I had spent trying to fix a problem that ended up being caused by maybe a 25 cent brass fitting in a plastic cover. Live and Learn. By the way my 1996 Tahoe has almost 154000 miles on it with the original engine and transmission.

| How much trouble is it to change out the AC fan blower switch on the dash panel on the Tahoe. Mine just lost the three lower fan speeds. Can it be done without taking the dash apart? Thanks Doc. | |

Replying to: whitall (Aug 31, 2009 6:21 am) The knocking noise that I experienced seemed to go away when I started using the A/C only. It occurred most often when the heater was running. I haven't got a complete diagnosis of the problem yet. |

Replying to: doc15 (Aug 30, 2009 12:27 pm) Check the fuses in the fuse box under the hood on the right side and make sure they are still working. If you still need to pull the dash apart to replace the switch, it does pry loose relatively easy with a flat screw driver, just be careful. All the dash switches are in unplugable panels. Where does it come apart? Right around the front edge of the dash cover is a seam. Try you hands at first pulling on it and if it pops loose then you know you are on the right track. Just take your time and be careful. Make sure you can get the replacement switch first from an auto parts place.
