    97 Tahoe LT 4X4 Gas smell On Full Tank.

    Wasn't sure which area to post this! On my 97 Tahoe 2door when I fill the tank I get a strong gas smell outside of the vehicle until some fuel is burned off. Nothing on the ground so no leaks. I also do not overfill the tank. It has been like this for a while now but didn't used to be this...

    Pictures Please!! What Chevy/GMC Stock Wheels Did You Put On Your GMT400 Tahoe?

    Back again, Finding a variety of "factory" wheels I like but not sure on fit for a 97 Tahoe 4X4 2Dr. Yes, 6 lug for sure. I am thinking 18" is the size to go with.

    Advice For New Wheels For 97 Tahoe 4X4.

    OK, thanks. I guess I'll get them. $250 for the set. I've always like the flares on these, my 4X4 Dually has them on the front. However it seems every half-ton I see with flares looks like the front wheels are too small! Like the wheels don't stick out far enough laterally unless it's a 3/4...

    '97 Tahoe LT. Dash Vents Blow Weak

    Thanks. I plan to check the motor that drives the "zone" selection as I see it is an issue when I google. Or is one possible issue. Since my truck does not blow air when on the "vent" setting I think it's logical to assume either the door doesn't close or move all the way or doesn't seal...

    '97 Tahoe LT. Dash Vents Blow Weak

    Airflow changes with the controls and seems ok. You can hear it move. The defrost if powerful as is the feet/lower vent. It is just the vents that face you. The flow is ok but not super strong. Definitely weaker than the truck is. I'm assuming that having a little bit coming out of the left...

    '97 Tahoe LT. Dash Vents Blow Weak

    I've always thought the airflow out of the dash vents is a little weak. Figured it is just that way. For clarity I mean the vents that face you and not defrost or feet vents!! Recently had the A/C fixed, new compressor, and the repair guy mentioned weak airflow out the dash vents. He said...

    Advice For New Wheels For 97 Tahoe 4X4.

    Hi all, My 97 Tahoe LT 4X4 has the stick wheels on it. I am thinking to go to one of the newer Chevy wheels. My concern is the size differences and any potential issues. The truck drives and handle excellent now so I have always been leery of changing the rims out. Here is a picture of the...

    97 K3500 Front Door Panel Doesn't Fit With Aftermarket Speaker.

    Hi all, Recently had to replace all of the white retainer clips/pins for the door panels as the old ones all broke at once! Now I find that the lower front of each door panel does not sit flush against the door. It is likely the speakers are the issue. Figured I'd do some research and get some...

    97 K3500 Door Panel issues. Need The White Push-In Retainers!

    Ok, so new clips like the ones originally on the door, the 2 piece ones, came in and are installed. Seem ok but I now find a new issue I did not see before. The door panel doesn't fit well at the front lower corner where the speaker is. Aftermarket speakers installed by previous owner. Both...

    97 K3500 Door Panel issues. Need The White Push-In Retainers!

    I understand they can be a consumable part but my point is that they all broke but the door panel had not been touched. Not just one or two were broken but every single one on the bottom and both sides of the panel. I opened the door and was getting ready to start taking the panel off when I...

    97 K3500 Door Panel issues. Need The White Push-In Retainers!

    I did the door pins and bushings last fall. The panel was catching then. This time is just plain weird. As I mentioned, the other day the door was fine. The next day I was getting ready to replace the outer door handle. When I looked at the panel to start taking it off I found that every...

    97 K3500 Door Panel issues. Need The White Push-In Retainers!

    Thanks. These fasteners the dealer put it all broke on their own. Door was fine yesterday and this morning the panel was about falling off. Every fastener broke at the head. The dealers work lasted about 2 months.

    97 K3500 Door Panel issues. Need The White Push-In Retainers!

    Hi, I have a 1997 K3500 extended cab pickup. The drivers door panel was loose at the bottom and sides so I took it to the dealer to have them re-install it properly. Mainly replacing all of those white plastic "pegs" clips (don't know what they are called!) that go around the bottom and sides...

    '97 Tahoe LT Seat Covers & Foam Install?

    Something odd in the video. It says it's a drivers seat but isn't everything reversed? Armrest on the wrong side as are seat controls! Maybe the video is reversed?

    AC clutch not engaging

    I think the odds are on a leak maybe. It is suspect that shortly after getting it charged it stopped working. Just had to do a compressor replace on my 97 Tahoe. Compressor was leaking.

    95 k1500 suburban soft brakes

    Mine is a 97 Tahoe 4x4 and have the same right rear drum lock up. Seems this is not unusual. Come to a stop and the brake sticks on that wheel. Had the dealer do a full bleed and fluid change but they couldn't because right rear wouldn't bleed. They blamed the ABS system. Right rear brake...
