Hi everyone...i'm new here. :cool2:
anyway I've had my 1999 tahoe for about 2years now and ever since I had it it's had a few issues (minor I hope):
1. The thing sounds like a squeeky mattress on wheels.
No Joke! wether i'm cruising at 25 or speeding along at 65, the chassis squeeks and shakes like a squeeky mattress. And even if I go over a small bump, like a sewer lid or something like that, i can actually hear the springs shocks or struts (whatever they are) actually recoil down there...I mean I can hear them bounce back up kinda hard....it's not that loud but it definitely prevents me from sneaking out of the driveway on poker nights! :mad2:
That makes for a somewhat rough and noisy ride.
What should I be asking the autoshops to check for?
I've already taken it into a few shops and they've both said they coudn't really find anything wrong but who knows if they really checked.
2. Sometimes when i'm at a stop light (idle), I can hear a rattling behind the instrument panel....it's like there's something loose back there or something and it's shaking with the vibrations of the engine, but when I accelerate, it goes away. Whatever it is I want it to stop! lol
ANy ideas?
Thanks for the help. :yesnod:
PS: it's a 1999 tahoe, 82000 miles, LT....hope that helps.
