Depending on if you have a push button, switch activated, or manual shift type 4x4 system they are generally the same. Transfer in 4x4 high can generally be made at any time that you're not traveling at highway speeds or faster by simply moving/pressing the selector switch/lever/button to the position indicated as 4x4 high. If you are wanting to use 4x4 low this transfer has to be made while the vehicle is stationary, wheels straight, vehicle in neutral and brake depressed. Note that the use of 4x4 low is only recommended for the most extreme driving conditions and should only be operated at low speeds.

I have an 2004 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 4.8l with code c0237. How hard is it to replace the throttle position sensor?

C0237? That is an erratic rear speed sensor fault. Is your abs light on? The speed sensor may be unplugged, wire harness damaged, sensor may be failing. The tps is part of the throttle motor assembly. Very expensive, but very easy to change.

I have a 99 chevy tahoe 4X4 thats giving me problem.when pushing down on brake pedal it pushes back then the ABS light comes on and then the truck starts revving up and not shifting gears right and se

This could be a wheel speed sensor. The ABS module does not do a rationality test to sensors. This must be monitored by a scanner WHEN acting up as they send information to the controller which makes the decision if the car has traction or not one of the sensors is sending false data. this happens at low speeds 15 mph or less . the controller does not tag it as a bad reading because it is random even during your brake application. As for the transmission not shifting this also can be a bad sensor on the transfer case output shaft. Does speedo act crazy during this shifting problem. check for loose ground straps.

2008 chevy tahoe delayed start

The list of possible causes is long.
You'll have to figure out if it is fuel or ignition related to proceed.
I would check fuel pressure and spark first.
If you can't duplicate the symptom it may be tough to diagnose.

I have a 2006 Chevy Tahoe Z71. What causes a 4x4

sometimes the vacuum line going to the actuator cracks.this will cause the diaphram in the actuator to not depress fully. you should be able to press in the diaphram by hand easily,if you cant,then the actuator is bad...usually due to debri getting into it,or from non use.

Power door locks on a 2004 chevy tahoe don't work

The door locks on my 1999 tahoe stopped working and I checked the fuse, which was fine. The problem turned out to be that the fuse for my cigarette lighter was bad and for some reason it also must be working in order for the door locks to work. Put in a new cigarette lighter fuse and the door locks worked again!
