Hello chowhound196: My name is Roger and I will help you. First I would change the fuel filter. If you still encounter problems I would check the fuel pump pressure. You did not state what engine is in your truck . So for a 4.8 0r 5.3 v-8 engine the pressure should be 55-62 psi. key on engine off. on a 5.7 engine the pressure should be 60-66 psi. Any pressure less will cause the engine to loose power to a will not start problem.There is always the possibility that the exhaust converter may cause a problem or the computer could cause a problem. A quick check for codes or a check engine lamp on would be cause to check the ecm for codes. Should you need further help please just ask.Please rate the answer. This way I know it was helpful Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

I think so too. May be sulfur from the fuel on the resister card that the wiper travels over. Try adding some Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner to 1/4 tank of gas and see if it gets better.

most likely the drive shell broke in the trans depending where you live should not cost more than a grand to repair parts and labor, please let me know

Open hood
On top of core support are 2 metal rods with L shaped ends. Turn the rods out of the plastic holders. Now lift rods out. Take the head lamp out.
Look behind the head lamp.
See an almost round piece with 2 or more wires?
On the side of it is a tab. Push the tab in and turn and remove. Now see the bulb? Okay unplug it & plug in the new one. And reinstall lamp.

well its in one of 2 places

1.) the fuse box under the hood
2.) the fuse box under the dash board mounted to the side of the car.

the box lid should be labled making it easy to locate that fuse

if it isnt you will need to look at every one to see in the filament is burnt or broken. Sounds harder than it is.

could be your radiator fan. They will run after the engine is turned off

Waterpump is not circulating the rad fluid to the heat exchanger in the HVAC. When you accel the pump turns faster.

i would check the key fob first. the place where the battery goes take it out and check the silver connector the solder usually lets go in the fob itself and will not work. if the fob is ok the rcdlr will have to be replaced and your fobs will have to be re-programmed. rcdlr (remote control door lock receiver)

pfugi... I'm in the process of trying to change out my turn signal switch and that process requires pulling the plastic trim from on top and bottom of the steering column. I have the same problem that you do with the tow haul and after a few months of it not working I pretty much dismissed it as not a big deal, but I found the problem yesterday and I'd be willing to bet you have the same problem. Where the set of wires comes from the button on the end of your gear arm and into the steering column needs to have some flex to it as you shift the car and the extremely fine wire that they used simply snapped in half. There is absolutely no extra wire there and I'm deciding whether or not to solder on an extension or not while I have it open. I tow a camper and in Colorado quite a bit and I have just relented to manually shifting when necessary.

I would recommend 5w30 or 10w30 either would be good.

If 4wd Tahoe, it is the CV joint going out or is out, replace part about 250 bucks, very common in 4wd Tahoe

Sounds like the oil pump went to me. Another issure I've dealt with is the drive ontop of the pump that makes it turn can shear off. Its not real common but I have seen it happen. Either way its a pretty major repair and the vehicle shouldnt be driven til its fixed.

im taking that this is a rear disc set up if so go as if you were changing the rear brakes the splash guard is held in place by two -four bolts unscrew these take the old one off replace it with the new one you may have to remove the brakes in order to do this.

cylinders are numbered on cap, cylinders on engine are 1 front drivers side, 3, 5, 7 and 2 front pass. side 4, 6, 8.

check for power at compressor to eliminate it,if you have power at plug the compressor is bad,then you need to make sure the system if full of freon,it won't kick it will low freon
