I have a 1998 chevrolet tahoe. Whenever I press the button to turn the little dome lights inside the truck, they don't go on. Anyone have idea which fuse it would be inside of the fuse box?
A: It should be the same i dont have access to the 1999 Tahoe but im looking at the 2000 taho Owners manual. But it should be (ILLUM )fuse, for interior lights.
Q: Does anyone own a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe that is financed?
I am thinking of getting a new 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe financed. I was just wondering, what are your monthly payments and the interest rate is, and how long your term is. Thanks.
I tried to figure it out using the calculator at the GMAC website but its not working for me.
A: How's your credit? The price of the Tahoe is obviously important, but the payments are also determined by the interest rate, which is determined by the quality of your credit.
If your credit is flawless, expect a rate in the neighborhood of six percent for a five year loan, a bit higher for six years, even higher for seven years or more. If your credit is not flawless, then the rate will be higher.
To approximate a payment, do the following:
Take the selling price and add twelve percent. This will cover taxes and dealer fees and registration. In some states, this will be less, as some states have very low registration fees and others have little or no sales tax. Adjust for your location.
Subtract the above total by your down payment. You now have an amount financed.
Guess at your rate, based on your score and credit history. Divide this by two.
Multiply the above (half of your expected rate) by the number of years you expect the loan to be.
As an example, if you can get six percent, divide by two, which equals three, and multiply by years (5), which equals fifteen. Multiply this by the amount financed. Add this result to the amount financed. Divide by the term in months. Viola! You have a payment.
Example:
Sales price fifty thousand. Add twelve percent equals fifty six thousand. Subtract down of ten thousand equals forty six thousand.
Multiply by fifteen percent (0.15) equals six thousand nine hundred. Add to amount financed equals fifty two thousand nine hundred. Divide that by the term in months (five years = 60) and you get a payment of eight eighty two (appx.).
The reason you divide the APR by half is that the balance of the loan goes down each time you make a payment, and eventually gets close to zero for the last payment. So, the average balance of the loan is about half the original amount finance. Since the interest is a bigger chunk of the first payment that it is of the last, the divide by two gets you a lower payment than the real one, but it provides a good estimate.
Happy hunting!
Q: Where is the button to fold the side mirrors on the 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 located?
I just got the 04 Chevrolet Tahoe z71 (Sweet Truck) and I wanted to know where is the button to make the mirrors fold automatically? I really think it is a real cool feature to have on a truck/SUV. Don't you guys agree?
Thanks
A: Should be right by the window lock on the drivers door. It is very handy but remember you have to hit the switch it will not do it on its own.
Q: Chevrolet Tahoe?
I have seen this bumper on Tahoes its not stock, and it looks good with the clear lights but i dont know what its called it has no black rubber line across it...help!
A: I'm not sure what it's called either. I would try visiting the aftermarket shops that do customizing and ask them. Or ask the driver of the Tahoe that you like where they got it. Good lluck
Q: How is the 07 Chevrolet Tahoe on gas?
How is the 07 Chevrolet Tahoe on gas? I know its a 4.8L v8 but like every truck is a bit different.....so how bad is it?
A: It has the highest MPG rating of any fullsize SUV at about 22 MPG highway since it shuts off half of its cylinders when it doesnt need them. A hybrid Tahoe and Yukon is being developed
Q: Will the new Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid for 2008 be able to use ethanol?
I know GM is coming out with a Tahoe hybrid for the 2008 model year, but I was curious if it was able to use ethanol to power the gas motor like many of the non-hybrid GMs do now.
Any ideas?
A: I'm not aware that any production car today uses straight ethanol. FlexFuel cars use E85, which is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. I'll assume that you're asking if the 2008 Tahoe hybrid can use E85.
I did some research and the best I can come up with is "no," the 2008 Tahoe will not have a FlexFuel engine -- it will burn only standard gasoline. Keep in mind that standard gasoline is usually mixed with 10 percent ethanol these days, so the Tahoe will use some ethanol -- just not E85.
Reading up on the Tahoe, some of the fuel economy improvements come from weight reduction and aerodynamic work, things GM should have done long ago to improve economy in its regular gasoline fleet.
Q: what is the easiest way to change a fuel pump in a 2000 chevrolet tahoe?
it is the limited edition tahoe with the square body style.
A: Drain the gas tank, then remove the straps holding the gas tank to the vehicle from underneath (just make sure you're not under it when you do) Then when you look at the top of the tank, you will see a place where all the wires go inside it- this is your fuel pump and sending unit- take it out, unplug it, and replace it... It sounds easy, but it's actually a lot of work if you don't have a lift...
Q: Where can I find the factory audio wiring diagrams for a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe?

A: Try http://www.installdr.com
Q: My 02 Chevrolet Tahoe kills once its been heated for a while?
If i drive my Tahoe all day long eventually once its heated it will kill on me. After it sits for a few minutes it starts right up, runs for a few minutes then kills again. I had the fuel injector and fuel filter changed which did not help. Does anyone know what this could be? Please help if you can. Thank you!
I forgot to mention, the truck showed a cylinder 6 misfire.
A: your tahoe dies
you can stick a screw driver into a plug wire and hold it a quarter inch from a good ground and see if it sparks be careful though its well over 10,000 volts it wont hurt you but it has one hell of a tingle if theres no spark;
possibly sounds like the ignition coil when it stops have someone turn it over while you tap the coil short of that you should have it checked
Q: I have a vibration in my 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. How do I get rid of it?
The vibration is at it's worse between 45-55 mph. There is some vibration below, and some above the aforementioned. I have had the tires balanced and the front end aligned. That didn't seem to help. There is even some vibration when sitting still, car in drive, and foot on brake. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
A: YOU NEED TO DETERMINE IF THE VIBRATION IS POWERTRAIN RELATED AT THE SPEEDS YOU INDICATED. DRIVE THE VEHICLE TILL VIBRATION OCCURS STEADY. PLACE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL(LET ENGINE IDLE). DOES VIBRATION GO AWAY. IF VIBRATION IS GONE THEN PROBLEM IS IN POWERTRAIN. POSSIBLY ENGINE TRANSMISION OR DRIVE SHAFT. IF VIBRATION REMAINS WITH TRANS IN NEUTRAL THEN THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS TIRE OR WHEELS. IF TIRE OR WHEEL RELATED, HAVE TIRES AND WHEELS CHECKED FOR RUNOUT(OUT OF ROUND CONDITION) AND HAVE TIRES ROAD FORCE BALANCED(THIS REQUIRES A SPECIAL BALANCING MACHINE(HUNTER GSP9700). BALANCING ALONE WILL NOT FIX TIRE IRREGULARITIES. TIRES MAY ULTIMATELY NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH SOME QUALITY NAME BRAND TIRES. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND ON YOUR ROAD TEST.

The battrery in my keyless remote went dead and I replaced it now the remote will not work. So what must I do to get the remote clicker to work again?
