Need to find a hard
For some reason, the GM website does not even offer a PDF version of the Owner's Manual for 1999 Tahoe. The first year available is 2000. I don't know if they "lumped Tahoe in with Suburban or what the deal was with Tahoe for that year. Anyway, the PDF versions are available for free download but the site says to contact your local dealer to purchace replacement hard copies.
Here is a link to the site:

Battery drains until dead recharged it tahoe starts and runs gauges are dead alt light is on door locks, windows, keyless entry don't work 2003 tahoe 5.3 please help
Try disconnecting your alternator. Charge the battery but leave the alternator disconnected (remove the electrical plug from the rear of the alternator).
If the battery retains its charge and can start the car (you won't cause any damage by starting the engine with the alternator disconnected) it points towards a defective alternator.
If the rectifier pack - the diodes - in the alternator burn out this can cause a battery to discharge very quickly. Sometimes, quite literally, in a couple of minutes.
If the battery still discharges with the alternator disconnected this points towards a failing battery or a drain somewhere else in the electrical system.
It may be that your door locks and windows don't work for the simple reason there's not enough power to operate them. However, as you say your gauges are dead .. this could possibly point towards a drain in the electrical system, but not necessarily so.
It becomes too easy to replace parts one after the other in the hope that a fault is cured. This is an expensive way of going about things. The best option is to pay a workshop or an auto electrician to diagnose the fault correctly. Diagnose the fault first - an auto electrician will be able to tell you within minutes if it's the battery, the alternator or a drain elsewhere.
94 tahoe blazer won't start getting fuel and spark
What testing have you done?
I looked at info for 94 blazer 5.7L engine.
Do you have spark, everywhere? Did you use a gage And check fuel pressure, with tbi fuel injection 9--13 psi. With throttle body injection you should be able to see fuel injector/s spray pattern, both fuel injectors. Even if injector/s spray pattern looks good, 5 psi won't start and run a v8.
Check for applicable trouble codes. My info shows your obd1, so you should be able to check some codes, yourself, if there are any.
You need air--fuel--spark--compression, proper amount at the proper time and it should start.
No 3rd or 4th on 2003 chevy tohoe 5.3 ?
The 4L60E transmission usually has a life of 150,000 miles. The "newer" transmissions are made a lot lighter and therefore weaker than the old workhorse TH350 and TH400 transmissions of the 70's and 80's. They had to make the transmissions with less metal to attain the ridiculous MPG requirements. I had to have mine rebuilt in my 04 Silverado at 165,000 and couldn't believe that they told me the average life was 150,000!
