I thought I read about this problem on GMT but can't find it now. Driver Info Center goes dark and gear select very dim. Happens randomly. I thought I read something about check grounding and said to myself, self, need to remember this in case it happens to you. If there is a current thread...

Update. Tongue weight approx 680 lbs. = 11.5%

My answers. No we dont have WDH, but we are shopping as soon as budget permits. Boy Scouts is a non profit working off of fund raising BBQs, popcorn ect. Our goal is to make this rig safe for others to tow if the primary towers are not available. I am now taking care of maintenance and any...

I have '07 Tahoe with 5.3l 4x4 and no major mods except added air bags in rear coils and it does have the tow button on gear shift. The sticker on hitch reads 5000lbs w/o weight dist hitch and 10000 with. The owners manual reads 6700 or 7700 lbs depending on axle ratio. My scenario is to...

I am going to add a trans cooler to '07 Tahoe 5.3. Which line is leaving the radiator cooler headed back to the trans? This the line I want to replubm to goto aux cooler to chill the 190ish degree fluid before headed back. Also, do you any problem with using tubing cutter to cut metal lines and...

Fixed. Cylinder 4 had a collapsed-stuck lifter. $3000 got all new lifters, sensors, oil change, ect. at my independent /non dealer shop. The cam fortunately was not harmed. Didn't realise it was a little noisy before until I got it back and barely can hear it idle. I also know now that the 1st...

Just recalled something that may or may not be relevant. The last time I change oil it was early due to bad oil. I was not getting oil pressure to sending unit due to little gel like lumps in oil blocking port to sending unit. Thought it was bad sending unit and I replaced it only to have the...

Update. I switched coil packs between 1 and 4. Tahoe continued to run normal the few short trips I made during the week It does not get driven daily as I have company truck for work. Friday night we made similar trip to a Scout camp out, no problem. Today, Sunday, it started again on the way...

Thank you for responses. I had a 04 TB before the Tohoe and understand the differences. AC Delco iridiums with new wires maybe 8000 miles ago. I will read and watch your info tomorrow as family is interrupting right now. haha FYI. The TB is why I joined another forum in witch I followed over to...

As title says, I am getting random misfire on #4 and traction control off warning at same time. 1st & 2nd time it just felt like I hit something with left rear tire or like just that brake snapped on for a second. Then today the 3rd time but had CEL and bad misfire and traction control off...

Looking for computer tune around St.Louis area for 07 Tahoe. Thanks Edit: If I can not find someone local, who are the resonable mail order programers?

Got it fixed. I cut output shaft off on the trans side of the 'Reluctance Ring' formally known as drive gear and took into my shop. (A/C in there, 101 outside) Using drill press I drilled holes around shaft near the ring and was able to drive the shaft out of the ring. Placed ring on a piece of...

Thanks. I have always shied away from transmission issues. But last night I tore the tail cone off the old transmission. I was hoping yo remove reluctor ring to find that its pressed on. And I appears that to remove tailshaft involves much more.

Hello, My stepson has 92 c1500 pickup with 4L60 trans that had lost 3rd and 4th. He bought junk yard trans from 93 Cadilac Fleetwood and had a guy swap them. The dust cover was the minor issue but speed sensor maybe the big issue. Truck shifted and ran great for 1st 20 or so miles but without...

Does this TSB apply to a 2007 Tahoe 5.3? Mine burns about a quart in 4000 miles.
