#15 of 24 '05 Tahoe Noise.... by nc5 Mar 16, 2008 (6:03 pm)
Just bought an '05 Tahoe LT w/ 34K miles. Makes 2 distinct noises.  First, if I turn completely left or right there is a quite a popping noise. I imagine this is a warning as I cannot turn any farther, however it does seem very loud.   Second, every time I start the vehicle it makes a strange "static or grinding" sound after traveling 1-2 minutes. Only lasts a split second. Doesn't seem to matter if it is cold or warm out.   Want to get this figured out while still under warranty. Dealer did something w/ steering column and is waiting on another part, but for now it hasn't been fixed.   Thoughts?   Thanks, Replies to this message: rockman59 (Mar 18, 2008 8:27 pm) nc5 (Mar 19, 2008 7:12 pm)

There was a post on this some time ago...I can't remember exactly what the sound was....something to do with the vehicle electrical system.....maybe a systems check upon start-up...whatever. Not to worry. Replies to this message: nc5 (Mar 19, 2008 7:12 pm)

Replying to: rockman59 (Mar 18, 2008 8:27 pm) Thanks for the response. I had also heard it was related to the anti-lock breaks doing a "check" as well. Have not bought a used vehicle for some time and I think I'm just a little nervous w/out having the safety of a warranty.
#18 of 24 2005 Tahoe - noises from front left by alston28 Apr 14, 2008 (9:07 am)
I'm getting 2 noises from front left. The first is a "thump", like what you might feel with a warped rotor, except I don't feel anything through the brake pedal. I mainly just hear it. Seems to be most noticeable when I'm coasting. The second, is a rattle from the front left that seems most noticeable when turning to the left.   I had yet a third rattle, which was the steering column sleeve that was replaced through a recall.   I'm thinking I need to take it back to the dealer to check these other noises (before the warranty expires). But if anyone has these same issues or suggestions, I would appreciate it.   Thanks.

Replying to: alston28 (Apr 14, 2008 9:07 am) Just found this from a Google search:   Is anyone else having this issu? I have an '05 Tahoe. I hear a low sounding front end rattle/squeak that is heard when going on any uneven roads or bumps. I've looked at all the TSB for the Tahoes/Suburban/Yukon and I found the following TSB:   Suspension - Rattles/Squeaks From Front of Vehicle Bulletin No.: 03-03-08-002B Date: November 30, 2005 TECHNICAL Subject: Rattle/Squeak from Front of Vehicle (Replace Lower Portion of Upper Insulator Assembly) Models: 2002-2005 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT 2003-2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV 2000-2005 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2002-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 2000-2005 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL Supercede: This bulletin is being revised to update the correction and parts information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-08-002A (Section 03 - Suspension). Condition Some customers may comment on a rattle or squeak type noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Cause The front shock absorber plastic pilot ring may be wearing out, causing the shock to misalign in the insulator. Correction DO NOT replace the shock. Replace the lower portion, P/N 15834275 , of the upper insulator assembly using the procedure listed below. This new insulator has a taller plastic pilot ring that is attached to the metal sleeve to aid in the proper alignment of the insulators. 1. Remove the front shock absorber. Refer to the Shock Absorber Replacement procedure in the Front Suspension sub-section of the Service Manual. 2. Remove the lower portion of the upper insulator from the shock and discard. 3. Install the new lower portion of the upper insulator to the shock. Important: Be sure to center the shock in the frame bracket and tighten the upper mounting nut when the vehicle is on the ground. 4. Install the front shock absorber. Refer to the Shock Absorber Replacement procedure in the Front Suspension sub-section of the Service Manual.   http://www.chevroletforum.com/m_29668/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm Replies to this message: alston28 (Jun 09, 2008 8:06 am) alston28 (Jun 12, 2008 1:15 pm)
#20 of 24 2005 Tahoe - thanks; liftgate by alston28 Jun 09, 2008 (8:06 am)
Replying to: alston28 (Apr 14, 2008 1:12 pm) Thanks. Took the Tahoe in last week. Showed them this bulletin. It apparently fixed one of the 2 problems. Dealer said the "thump" was caused by tires. They said they rotated the tires, but I still hear/feel the "thump." Also, now my liftgate won't stay up. Replies to this message: alston28 (Jun 12, 2008 1:15 pm)
#21 of 24 2005 Tahoe - liftgate won't stay up by alston28 Jun 09, 2008 (8:08 am)
New issue with my 2005 Tahoe: now my lift gate won't stay up. Currently propping it up with a pole. Anyone have this problem, or know of a solution? Is it a warranty item? Thanks. Replies to this message: alston28 (Jun 12, 2008 1:11 pm)
#22 of 24 2001 Chevy Tahoe seat upholstery by steveoreno Jun 11, 2008 (9:15 pm)
Has anyone out there ever removed the fabric seat covers from the bucket seats in a Tahoe? I need to replace them with factory originals but wonder about how you get the head and arm rests off, etc. I would appreciate some step by step instruction. let me know...Steve H.

Replying to: alston28 (Jun 09, 2008 8:08 am) Dealer replaced both rear lift gate strutts yesterday - and it was a warranty item - no charge.
#24 of 24 Re: noise from front left; thump 2005 Tahoe - thanks; liftgate [alston28] by alston28 Jun 12, 2008 (1:15 pm)
Replying to: alston28 (Jun 09, 2008 8:06 am) Turns out it the fix done per the bulleting didn't fix the problem. Also, rotating tires didn't solve the "thump." Took it to dealer yesterday (mainly for the lift gate problem). The shop foreman rode with me, and heard both noises. They made the following repairs, no charge:   Rattle from front left, when turning left Cause: noisey E7638 Support, Steering Column Replace 469 WS96 FC: 2W part#: Count:0    Thumping noise Cause: Noisey E7620 Bearing and/or Bushing, Steering Shaft Lower Replace 469 WS96 1 88963617 Bearing 1 Misc TC   I haven't driven it enough to know whether these fixes solved the problems.
