1998 Chevy Tahoe 5.7. The headlights are on in the Off position and Off when I turn them on.

The most likely reason is that they are Daytime Running Lights, but a different light should come on when you switch them off. Check the fuses with a digital ohm meter for continuity WITHOUT removing them. Use the little contacts on the top edge. How many vehicles do you have? I see the Expedition problems as well.

4x4. What is the A.I.R. relay (mark eng) in the fuse/relay block..mine is missing. Does it effect tranny shifting?

1998 TAHOE HOW TO TEST A CATALYTIC CONVERTER

If converter is cloged engine will have hard time getting rid of hot exhaust gasses and will have no power if it runs at all. Check for the gas that comes out - when you nail the engine lots of gas should come out - if it does not amount to much it is obstructing the flow of gasses and needs to be replaced.

My 1998 chevy Tahoe won't shift gear.

Can you give a lot more detail Priscilla., add it and then resubmit the query. Do you mean it will no go into gear at all? Will the gear selector move but no dear engage. (if this is the case first check that the tail lights are working, they must for gears to engage in US automatic cars apparently.) It might be that the gear selector is broken or the torque convertor has collapsed . Try the tail lights first, you c can fix those yourself /

My 1998 Chevy Tahoe shakes real bad about 50 60 miles per hour and stopped at my 75 what's the problem

Jason, it can be a number of things causing the vibration..check the obvious first like Glenn Blevins answer. If that doesn't help then go on to the less obvious things..Like... Hard starting or getting real bad gas mileage? (I know, the mileage sucks to begin with..I own a 2000 OBS Tahoe Limited so I know the mileage sucks!) *Fuel pressure regulator.. *Spider fuel injection..Check these to make sure pressure is holding good. *Distributor..They wear and act crazy...I'm in the process of changing mine now...It made my Hoe shake badly! I don't know what the mileage is on your Hoe but I would say it's about time to start checking all the things I have mentioned. There are lots of really good forums to get info on these trucks..OBS (Old Body Style) trucks have a large cult following so you will not be at a loss for info. The vibration started at about 40 mph and would chill out around 65 mph...I knew it wasn't tires/rims on mine so I hit the forums and found a new world of info and testing to do on mine. If it turns out to be a worn distributor on yours, go to ebay and purchase an billet aluminum made one..about 5-10 dollars more than the stock plastic shell OEM one that came on the truck.
