    HELP! Leaking tranny fluid from where tranny meets driveshaft?

    Ya, sounds like a rear seal which is typicaly easy to replace. Just drop the drive shaft...make sure you don't pop off one of those U-joint caps on the end near the diff. Then I'm not sure about the gear box since I haven't worked on a Chevy in years. Typicaly you can pull the rear tail shaft...

    Service 4wd Problem

    I'm not a fan of the new electronic 4WD switch system. We used to have a 96 LT 4X4 Tahoe that still used the good ole handle. That was a good Tahoe until some lady ran a red light:mad: So we ended up buying a new 04' Z71 Tahoe. The first year we had it some 4WD switch/sensor messed up making it...

    New Tahoe, How Many Miles for Synthetic?

    Oh ya, both M1 or RP would make a great choice in my opinion. I'm not sure if RP makes a filter but I would use one like K&N or M1 if they don't. They filter a higher Micron (smaller partical) than a typical filter and better suited for syn-oils. Edited: I just now noticed this was in the 07'...

    FUEL PUMP!!!

    Ditto, You may get a life time warrante but you still have to bust knuckles droping the tank etc. So I would invest in a quality part and use that time droping a tank on something else.

    Tahoe Intermediate dieing/sputtering

    Yes sir, I told the shop to replace the fuel filter either way. I figured it was probaly straining the hell out of the fuel pump. Anyhow, I rarely let people work on my cars but we're on the road. It's also still under warrante, so it shouldn't brank the bank.

    Tahoe Intermediate dieing/sputtering

    Well it wasn't the fuel filter although that was close...it was the fuel pump. I thought the pump sounded strange but I figured this was due to a pluged filter.

    Thanks, Thats a good place to start...I can't recall ever changing the external filter. Do you know when either one should be replaced? I can't seem to locate that in the owners manual :confused2:
