  My problem is almost the same. The dealer probably knows what the problem is they just wont commit to the fix. Much the same as the speedo problem. Chevy wanted $900.00 for the cluster in my 2005 Surburban. I found a shop to replace the little motors. All 6 for $125.00 in about an hour and he came to me.

• New Z71 4x4 RADIO

  Written by: iamnotageek on Jun 18, 2005 10:39:36 PM

  Does anyone know if you can add the XM Radio service to a radio that did not come with it...I want it to be just like the radio in the vehicle, but have the XM service as well...do I just plug an antenna in to the back of the vehicle? I have a brand new 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4 with the off-road package.

  I just purchased a brand new fully loaded 2005 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 Z71 worth $50K and I think that the extended warranty is definately worth it. Since I went with the smart buy program I am essentially leasing the vehicle, however it is mine, the only exception is at the end I can either pay off the large balloon payment or walk away without any debt. Anyways, considering that during the ... Read More

  Follow up from previous message. If anyone in the Northern Virginia area is looking for a Tahoe (or any Chevy for that matter) I would strongly recommend going to Lindsay Chevrolet in Woodbridge, VA (Rt. 1). I went to just about every dealership in the area and this is the only place that treated you like a human being. It was a pleasure dealing with someone you didn't feel like was ... Read More

  Written by: oshenfisher on Mar 3, 2005 4:43:11 PM

  Just thought I'd share my buying experience with Chevy. Everyone stay away from Pallone Chevrolet in Chantilly, VA. They were the worst by far to deal with. Lied on the phone just to get you in the store then "played the game" all the way to the point where I just got up and left. Had a much better experience at another dealership. MSRP on the truck I purchased (with the ... Read More

  I purchased a 2005 Z71 Tahoe fully loaded at this dealership last month. I initially made contact through the GM Buypower site, where I solicited quotes from several other area dealers as well. I stopped in at the dealer to look over the truck and managed to negotiate a price of $42,765 before rebates and other discounts were applied. The Tahoe was fully equipped with the Sun & Entertainment package, middle ... Read More

• Activating Driver Memory Settings from Key Fob

  Written by: dammitjim1 on Nov 20, 2004 12:38:44 PM

  I just picked up my 2005 Tahoe Z71 this week. Fantastic truck, loaded with features. I turned in a similarly loaded Trailblazer LTZ which I also liked, but the family just outgrew. Question: I have set the seat/mirror positions into memory for Driver # 1 (me), and it responds when I push the button on the door. How do I get this to activate from the key fob? With my Trailblazer, ... Read More

• RE: Downsizing a Tahoe

  Written by: aa555zz on Dec 31, 2003 7:25:00 AM

  I assume that you are taking about the current style Tahoe. Years 2000-2004. You can lower the front suspension some by removing tension on the torsion bars. You will have to replace the rear springs to lower the rear suspension. You will also probably have to replace the rear shock absorbers if your Tahoe has the manual self-leveling shocks or the autoride shocks. Most Tahoes have the manual self-leveling shocks. The ...
