I have a 2004 Suburban. When I start my suburban, it will be in 4L or 4H or the red light N, or no indication at all.

My Service 4WD light will come on after a while. Sometimes it works fine. I have read lots of fixes, like a ground wire no being connected, the switch needs to be replaced, the sending unit is bad, and finally, a computer chip is messed up. A friend of mine had a computer chip replaced, and that fixed his.of course, his truck was still under warranty. If anyone has had any luck with a certain type of fix for this, please let me know so I can go to the dealer with some knowledge, so help save me a little dough. I own a 2003 Chevy suburban and have the same problem with the 4wd and I found out that in times you need to get it working you can pull the fuse ('TREC' all wheel drive module) from under the hood and wait 15 seconds and install it again. This is the fuse for the all wheel drive module.

Do this when the truck is running and it should activate the module to get everything working again. Living in Wis. You need 4wd to get around in the snow.

I was told that the module does not sense the power so it does not turn on. Now it been working fine for 3 months now and it did not cost me anything. This not a fix all solution but it worked for me. I had a problem where not only would my 'SERVICE 4WD' indicator light come on, but it would actually shift itself into 4WD when I started it up. I replaced my dash 4WD switch w/ a new one. It cost about $55 w/ shipping.

Since I have put it in, the 'SERVICE 4WD' indicator light, has not come on. But, I have noticed as it starts to get warmer outside, I am still having the problem where I my Suburban will show the RED 'N' light on my 4WD buttons. So I may have to actually get the Chevy dealership to look at it. And then take out a loan to pay for it!! This is a fairly common problem. Chevrolet has determined the Transfer Case Control Module sometimes does not get the 'wake up call' it expects upon start up.

There is a TSB issued, 02-04-21-006E. Available via subscription on All Data among other places.

The TSB discusses removing the fuse as described in this forum. Failing that, the TCCM requires replacement. There is a reprogramming routine that must be performed on the new TCCM, have not done this myself but expect it is not all that difficult. To several of you on the forum, I noticed your concerns were over a year ago - so what happened? Did you have to replace the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)?

I'm experiencing all of those systems you all have gone thru - the 'check 4WD ' message, no codes announcing anything's wrong, the off-on lite effect with the shift selection buttons etc. I went on Chevrolet Just Answer.com, and got a definitive response to change the TCCM. Even got the repair manual guidance and instructions on how to do it - but havent done it yet. No where in the simple bolt out bolt in, unplug replug process does it describe a 'reprogramming'.

Hope this info is of some value. Welcome any responses. My Tahoe is a 03 Tahoe LT. My 1999 Tahoe (odo reading 137,400 miles) won't go into 4 wheel drive.

A couple of days ago the 'Check 4WD' light came on for a while and then went off. I planned, but haven't done so yet, to get all the fluid levels checked this weekend. But now I see the red 'Neutral' light is lit and I can't engage 4 wheel drive. I f there is a low fluid level sensor, can low transfer case or front diff lube cause this? Also, I want to check the ATC fuse per the above messages, but my owner's manual doesn't show where it is. Can any one please advise? Thanks, NIKT.

So I have to pose a question to all those out there in computer land who are smarter than me or happen to be mechanics or have had this issue before. I recently purchased a 1998 Tahoe with the right side of dash push button 4x4 with the auto 4x4 and the previous owner stated he was driving it in 4Hi and when he went to go into 2Hi it wouldn't shift and went into neutral. When I bought it the Transfer Case Shift Motor was removed I was able to shift it manually into 4Hi, 4Lo and neutral but couldn't seem to find 2Hi. I replaced the Shift Motor and checked the fuses and it still wouldn't shift.

I did get the lights on the dash to blink for a while and then they seemed to go out completely. I took it to Chevy who put the motor back in (cuz I had to remove it to manually shift into 2wd) and stated it wasn't working because the Transfer Case Module under the dash was bad. $350 later plus labor they stated it tried to shift a few times and then burned out the Transfer Case Shift Motor $225 plus labor. After all this and not seeming to get it into 2wd they want me to replace the whole T-Case $750 used. Any advise before I replace the T-case or does this sound wrong to anybody else? Thanks for all the suggestions, but I can't find the automatic transfer case (ATC) fuse. I checked my owner's manual and looked at both the instrument panel fuseblock (on the left side) and the fuse panel under the hood on the left hand front fenderwell.

Is there another fuse panel location not shown in my manual? I am going to try the battery disconnect method to see if re-booting the ECU and Trans Control Unit will help. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows where the ATC fuse is located on a 1999 Tahoe. Thanks for your help so far. A big thanks to all who made suggestions. My 1999 Tahoe now has a correctly functioning 4WD system.

If you recall, NIKT (that’s me) said that the unit was stuck in 2HI and would not engage any other mode. There were various suggestions, but here’s what worked for me: 1.- Find ATC fuse. This took longer than everything else because I kept looking for an “ATC” fuse. At least on my ’99 Tahoe, there’s no fuse so marked. My manual did list a fuse in the small fuse panel on the left side of the instrument panel, but not in the panel over the left front wheel.

It’s a 20Amp fuse in the No. 2 position, and is identified as “Transfer Case.” It was blown. – I pulled the T-case fuse (#2) and the Accessory Light fuse (#3) and left the car sit for about 5 minutes with the ignition switch off. 3 – I replaced the 20 Amp fuse with a 25 Amp fuse, because some people suggested that cold weather can result in a higher current draw in the 2WD-4WD shift motor. I put back the 10 Amp Accessory Light fuse which was OK. – As some suggested, I then switched the ignition On and Off 5 times to clear any trouble codes stored in the Trans Control Module.

– I fired up the engine and watched as the red “Neutral” light on the control button panel blinked off. My Tahoe had been stuck in 2HI, but then the 4HI button lit showing that mode was now engaged. I pushed the 2HI button and the transfer case shifted OK. Out on the street I engaged all the Transfer Case modes and everything seemed to work OK.

Again, a big thanks to you all, and I hope what I did works for you too. To kiawah, Thanks for your thoughts.

You make good sense and I will change the fuse back to a 20 Amp unit this morning and keep some spares handy, Also, I will operate the 4WD drive selection every other day or so to keep the shafts or other components moving freely. Also, is there another recommended lube oil for the transfer case? Some forums talk about a 'blue' fluid for better lubricity, or is that to improve the Auto 4WD?

You know, I have never used the Automatic 4WD feature. I bought my Tahoe used (50,000 miles) about 9 years ago. I tried using the Auto 4WD in the snow, but I didn't like what I thought was a harsh engagement and avoided ever using it.

When accelerating on snow or wet pavement, I engage 4HI to get up to speed and then engage 2HI. In winter here in suburban Chicago, when we get blowing and drifting snow, I engage 4HI and it seems to get me through just fine.

I then shift back to 2HI when I'm back on dry ground. I'm coming up on 140,000 miles and I like my Tahoe just fine. The only repairs of consequence (how do you spell Co$t?) have been replacement of one fuel injector and about 2 years later, the in-tank fuel pump. I have a 98 suburban 1500 4x4 LT 5.7 L with 165,000 miles I'm having some 4 x4 problems. The push buttons will engage 4 HI, but when it kicks in, the front wheels feel like they will pull to one side then the other and has an audible mechanical growl.

I've never had a problem with the 4 wd system on this truck. I don't know where to start with diagnosis. The lights on the 4wd buttons all function, and the 4x4 system engages when each range is pushed, and dis-engages when 2 hi is pushed. It just pulls and growls when engaged. The symptom seems to be worse when using the auto 4 wd feature.

Where should I start? I've had this rig since new.

To Markseiler, I can't speak with the authority of a mechanic, but only from my perspective as a Tahoe owner. You may already know this, but don't engage 4WD on dry ground. If I correctly understand the way the 4WD system functions, engaging the front axle also causes the front axle to become a locked axle. That's necessary to prevent all the drive torque going to one wheel on very slippery ground, leaving you with very little or no traction. This means (to me) that one should avoid sharp turns of the front wheels while in 4WD unless you are on very slippery (snowy, icy) ground. I recall once forgetting to disengage 4WD and I could feel a terrific binding when I made sharp turns on dry ground. Did you read my previous entry?

I bought my Tahoe used, and didn't like the way Auto 4WD engaged and never used again. Maybe a Tahoe technician could advise on lube oil specs for the transfer case. I hope this helps. I have the same problem on a 2003 Chev Blazer, with nearly identical symptoms. If you believe the push button 4WD selector, all is fine.

It switches in and out of 2 or 4WD no problem. However, based on recent driving I don't think it's actually engaged. If I actually get some decent slippage (ie, icy accelerating), it will grind from the front end like crazy. Sounds similar to grinding gears on a manual transmission (it's an auto, for reference). Only happens on slippage in 4WD. Took it into the dealer, they've replaced a seal which they say went bad and let oil into my vacuum lines which then took out a servo and actuator.

Still grinds, so they're thinking it's actually taken chunks off the gear and sleeve for the 4WD. $800 so far into it, gonna be about $800 more for the gear and sleeve.

Does this sound right for symptoms/diagnosis? I'm not much of a mechanic and REALLY get lost on tranny/transfer case type stuff.

(July 2008) Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon Overview Manufacturer Production 1991–present (Yukon) 1995–present (Tahoe) Body and chassis / Related Chronology Predecessor The Chevrolet Tahoe (and its rebadged version the GMC Yukon) is a full-size SUV from. And sold two different-sized SUVs under their model names through the early 1990s. This situation changed when GMC rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the Yukon in 1991.

Waited until 1994 to rebadge the redesigned mid-size as the, renaming the full-size Blazer as the Tahoe. The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding in the western United States. The name Yukon refers to the territory of northern. For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new 4-door model slotting in size between the 2-door models and the longer wheelbase and higher passenger capacity to up to nine passengers like the and newly named Yukon XL.

The Tahoe is sold in North America, Central America, the Middle East (excluding Israel), Chile, Ecuador, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Angola and Russia as a left-hand drive vehicle. The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon currently serve as a part of General Motors' full-size SUV family.

Lengthened wheelbase models are available for both as the for Chevrolet and for GMC. A luxury Denali model joined the Yukon lineup in 1998.

As of 2002, a version of the Yukon XL has also been available as the Yukon XL Denali. The Cadillac Escalade is closely related to the Denali models of the Yukon. As of February 2014, the 2014 Tahoe was the top-ranked Affordable Large SUV in 's rankings. Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4-door The new GMC was introduced in 1991 for the 1992 model year, while Chevrolet continued to use the K5 Blazer name through 1994. All were 2-door models through 1994.

The Chevrolet K5 Blazer was discontinued after the 1994 model year. The Chevrolet Tahoe was introduced in 1995 for the 1995 model year with the addition of an all-new 4-door version. The Tahoe was magazine's for 1996.

It is named for on the California-Nevada border in the United States. The Tahoe/Yukon were shorter than the on which they were based, but shared that vehicle's. This was a true truck chassis, and was based on that used in the full-size. Both two-door and four-door models were produced in. The two-door weighs roughly 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) while the four-door weighs approximately 5,500 lb (2,495 kg). 'AutoTrac' full-time all-wheel drive and a programmable Homelink transmitter were added for 1998. The upscale Denali trim line to the Yukon was introduced in 1999 as these vehicles became popular with wealthy families.

The standard engine was Chevrolet's 5.7 L (350 cu in) small-block V8, while a turbocharged 6.5 L (395 cu in) V8 was available beginning in 1994. In, the Tahoe 2-door was released in 1995, called the Chevrolet Silverado, and in 1998 the 4-door was released as the Silverado 4-door, and both were available in Base, LS and luxury LT trim lines. In, the Tahoe 2-door was released in 1993 (4WD only), called the Chevrolet Grand Blazer, and in 1996 the 4-door was released as the Grand Blazer 4-door (2WD). In 1996 the 2-door was discontinued. In 1996 only Grand Blazer 4-door 4WD was available. In, 1995 the 4-door was released as the Tahoe 4-door (4WD).

2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Limited When the GMT800 platform based Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon was released for the 2000 model year, a 2WD Tahoe Limited and 4WD Tahoe Z71 remained in production on the GMT400 platform as special edition vehicles. These special edition vehicles were produced in the Arlington, Texas assembly plant for the 2000 model year only. The Chevrolet Tahoe Limited was based on the Chevrolet Tahoe SS concept vehicle introduced in 1996 that never made it to production. It is reported that GM disliked the idea of an SS badged vehicle at a time when insurance companies were already demanding higher premiums for SUVs. The Tahoe SS prototype vehicles made in 1996 were painted either an unspecified metallic green or metallic blue, but the Tahoe Limited was produced only in black onyx metallic. The Tahoe Limited had a distinctive exterior appearance that included a factory equipped ground effects, a monochromatic theme with bumpers and grille painted in the same high gloss black as the body, removal of the roof rack, and fog lamps integrated into the front bumper. Other notable features of the Tahoe Limited included the Z60 high-performance chassis package (commonly known as the police package) which places the body of the vehicle 2 in (51 mm) lower than the 4WD Tahoe, two tone gray and charcoal leather interior seating surfaces, a 120 mph (190 km/h) gauge cluster, 46 mm (1.8 in), a 3.42 or optional 3.73 rear gear ratio, a limited slip rear differential, an engine oil cooling system, and distinctive 16 inch R36 five-spoke aluminum wheels.

2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z-71 Special Edition The Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 also exhibited a monochromatic appearance similar to the Tahoe Limited, but instead of black onyx metallic the Tahoe Z71 was offered in either light pewter metallic, victory red, emerald green metallic, or indigo blue metallic. Features of the Tahoe Z71 were similar to those of the Tahoe Limited with a few key differences to distinguish the 2WD Tahoe Limited from the 4WD Tahoe Z71. Features that differ from those previously mentioned on the Tahoe Limited included the Z71 off-road chassis package (46 mm (1.8 in), a standard 3.73 rear gear ratio G80 locking differential), body colored wheel flares, trim, grille and bumpers, inset driving lights built into the center of the front bumper, oversized two row radiator, two tone leather seating surfaces in either a gray or neutral theme, distinctive tail lamp lens covers, black tubular side assist step bars, black brush guard, and distinctive 16 inch Alcoa five spoke 6 bolt polished aluminum wheels. The 5.7 L Vortec V8 powerplant and 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission shared with other GMT400 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles were not modified in these special edition vehicles, and as such these special editions were mostly appearance packages, albeit with unique-handling suspension options.

Rear view and interior of second-generation GMC Yukon Other than the Tahoe Limited Edition, the vehicle was redesigned and launched in March 2000 for the 2000 on the new platform, still shared with the full-sized pickups and SUV's. Two new engines replaced the old 5.7 L (350 cu in) small-block, and while both were smaller, both produced more horsepower but less torque. The was dropped, leaving only the. In, the GMT800 Chevy Tahoe is called a Chevrolet Sonora and used the front end from the 2003-2007 Silverado pickup. A 2-door GMT800 Tahoe prototype was made but never entered production.

Both vehicles received significant updates with only the grille and headlights distinguishing one from the other. Both vehicles now featured softer lines as part of a more aerodynamic design.

The interior was also updated with new seats, dashboard, and door panels. For 2003, all GM full-size trucks received an upgraded interior, including a new steering wheel and radio controls, along with better-quality materials and other enhancements. StabiliTrak was also offered for the first time in 2003 (came standard on 2006), as were, audio, and a entertainment system as the models continued to climb upmarket. Both engines received 10 hp (7 kW) more for 2003 and 2004. The Flex Fuel engine became available first in the 2002 model. 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe General Motors redesigned the Tahoe and Yukon on the new platform in late 2005 as a 2007 model.

A hybrid version of the Yukon, which uses the shared GM/, followed with the 2008 models. The GMT900 based Tahoe and Yukon exceeded initial sales expectations and continued to sell well despite a weakening market for large SUVs. The short-wheelbase Tahoe and its police counterpart began production at on December 1, 2005. SWB Yukon production began in early 2006, with coming on line as well. Long-wheelbase versions began at Janesville and Silao Assembly in March. For the first time, GM used the Tahoe name in. For 2007, the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe received different front fascias, hood, and tail lights.

The GMC Yukon boasted a monolithic grille and headlights, while the Chevrolet Tahoe grille was divided by a body colored bar similar to the chrome bar found on most GMT800 Tahoes. Both the redesigned Yukon and Tahoe featured a more angular design that gave the vehicles a more upscale appearance than their predecessors. The interior was significantly redesigned as well, features a real wooded trim dashboard with new chrome accented instrument controls. New door panels as well as new seats were also added to the interior it still retains its nine-passenger seating availability on LS and SLE models only like the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL. In 2006, the newly redesigned Tahoe was featured on, and promoted through 's, where the two teams put together a show for the top General Motors employees to learn about the new Tahoe. Also, The Apprentice sponsored a controversial online contest, which allowed the public to create their own 30-second ad in hopes of winning a new Tahoe. Highway mileage was improved from 19 mpg ‑US (12 L/100 km; 23 mpg ‑imp) to 21 to 22 mpg ‑US (11 to 11 L/100 km; 25 to 26 mpg ‑imp) with the addition of cylinder deactivation.

For 2009, the 6.2 L engine in the Yukon Denali got a power increase to 403 hp (301 kW), while a 395 hp (295 kW) 6.2 L was added as an option for the Tahoe LTZ. A 6-speed automatic transmission replaced the 4-speed on all trucks except 2WD models with the 4.8 L engine. The 2011 model has a risk of 24.6%, and a lateral of 0.79. 2009 LTZ Models had the option of the 6.2 L Vortec 6200 this was only an option in 2009 and only in the LTZ trim.

2010 models underwent a mild mid-cycle refresh including a slightly raised bumper, revised door trim, improved side structure, and side torso air bags. For 2012, the GMC Yukon, underwent minor changes: the SLE and SLT grades were discontinued, in favor of appearance packages. The Apprentice make-your-own-ad contest In 2006, the 2007 Tahoe was featured on and promoted through 's TV series, where the two teams put together a show for the top General Motors employees to learn about the new Tahoe. Also, The Apprentice sponsored a controversial online contest in which anyone could create a 30-second commercial for the new Tahoe by entering text captions into the provided video clips; the winner's ad would air on national television. An early example of, headed by ad agency, the campaign began to backfire when hundreds of environmentally conscious parodies flooded YouTube and Chevy's website critiquing the vehicle for its low gas mileage.

Over 400 negative ads were created in total, however over 20,000 positive ads were created making the campaign, according to Chevrolet, a success, despite the negative media attention.

Rear view The Chevrolet Tahoe, and had a shortened 2014 model year starting in June 2013, and was replaced with a new version in February 2014 as a 2015 model. The 2015 Tahoe/Yukon was supposed to be based on the next-generation, which was introduced in May 2013. Rumor was that the vehicles could go to monocoque crossovers; those were shelved, as General Motors plans to add to the traditional body-on-frame truck-based SUV, as the 2012 -based debuted in 2013 for international markets, the Colorado debuting in 2014 for North America (as a 2015 model), and truck owners wanting a smaller truck-based SUV, instead of the monocoque crossover. GM's citing of healthy sales for their full-size SUVs in 2012 was another reason to retain the BOF platform.

The Tahoe and Yukon are now built on the platform and assigned as K2UC (for Chevrolet Tahoe) and K2UG (for GMC Yukon). Production on the Tahoe and Yukon began in December 2013 with the first completed SUVs being used for testing purposes, and started officially shipping the vehicles to dealerships on February 5, 2014. The 2015 Tahoe was later named the fastest-selling vehicle for the month of February 2014, averaging seven days of sales upon its release. On September 12, 2013, GM released photos and press release of the fourth-generation Tahoe and Yukon.

Like its larger siblings Suburban and Yukon XL, the front fascias of the Tahoe and Yukon are distinct, but from the base of the A-pillars back, they share most of the same styling cues. This now includes inlaid doors that tuck into the door sills, instead of over them, improving aerodynamics and fuel economy, and lessens interior noise. The hoods and liftgate panels now are made of aluminum in an effort to reduce vehicle weight. A more-efficient, direct-injected EcoTec3 powertrain coupled with improved aerodynamics help increase fuel economy for the SUVs. Both fourth-generation SUVs do not share a single piece of sheetmetal or lighting element with the brands' full-size pick-up trucks, and the front grilles of both vehicles are slightly altered to give them their own identity.

The front headlights features projector-beam headlamps that flanks the Chevrolet-signature dual-port grille – chrome on all models, sweeping into the front fenders, while the LTZ trims feature high-intensity discharge headlamps and light-emitting diode daytime running lamps. Also new are the addition of fold-flat second- and third-row seats, now a standard feature but can be equipped with an optional power-folding feature for the upgraded trims, and an additional two inches of leg room for second-row passengers.

The third-row fold-flat feature is accomplished using a raised platform that reduces available cargo space behind the third-row seats. Standard third-row seats and raised 'fold-flat' platform significantly reduce available cargo space compared with previous Tahoe models. Multiple USB ports and power outlets are now spread throughout their interiors, including one 110-volt, three-prong outlet, with the Tahoe adding an available eight-inch color touch-screen radio with next-generation MyLink connectivity along with an available rear-seat entertainment system (but will not feature a Blu-ray option that is exclusive to the Suburban for 2015), while the Yukon added a standard eight-inch-diagonal color touch screen radio with enhanced IntelliLink and available navigation. The Yukon interior has more features including seats stuffed with dual-firmness foam, a standard Bose sound system and SD card slots, and laminated glass for the windshield and front windows, decreasing interior noise. GM's third-generation magnetic ride control suspension is optional on the Tahoe LTZ models, whose upgraded features include third-generation magnetic ride control, a real-time damping system that delivers more precise body motion control by 'reading' the road every millisecond, and changing damping in just five milliseconds. The new platform is based on the 2014 1500 and 1500. Both SUVs feature sound deadening material to improve cabin quietness.

A new and arrived in dealerships in April 2014. Models continued for the Tahoe and Suburban as LS, LT, and LTZ, and the Yukon and Yukon XL as SLE, SLT, and Denali.

The Tahoe and Yukon went on sale in February 2014 as an early 2015 vehicle. Prices for the all-new SUVs are expected to stay the same as the current-generation SUVs. The Tahoe Hybrid, Yukon Hybrid, and Yukon Denali Hybrid models will be dropped along with their powertrains, as well as the Hybrid and Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Platinum. The Yukon Denali AWD is also being dropped as well. And despite reports that it is under consideration at this point, GM is mulling plans to bring the SS and RS package back for the Tahoe. On August 29, 2014, Chevrolet announced that the Z71 package would return with a launch by leaking a photo that displayed the Z71 badge on one of its large SUVs. On September 26, 2014, Chevrolet debuted the updated Z71 Tahoe at the State Fair of Texas, along with the debut of the Texas Edition Tahoe, the latter due to Texas having the largest units of Tahoes sold in the United States (as of August 2014, sales of the Chevrolet SUVs in Texas were up 37 percent) and to celebrate the 60th anniversary of GM's Arlington Assembly plant; production began in October 2014.

As with the previous Z71 Tahoe, this version will continue to be offered in a 4WD LT trim only, featuring a front skid plate, off-road tires mounted on 18-inch wheels, a unique grille, running boards and 'Z71' identification inside and out. Fog lamps, front tow hooks and front parking assist are also included. The Texas Edition will be available in both LT and LTZ trims, featuring a maximum trailering package, twenty-inch polished aluminum wheels (on LT models), twenty-two-inch premium painted aluminum wheels (on LTZ models), and an exclusive 'Texas Edition' badge.

Safety Recalls On March 23, 2014, a 2015 GMC Yukon caught fire and went up in flames in, after a couple, who along with the sales representative who were giving them a test drive, noticed the vehicle stopping and that smoke was starting to make its way into the cabin, prompting the three individuals to park the car and escape before it was destroyed within 15 minutes. The cause of the fire was traced to an oil leak and an engine malfunction. Despite being an isolated incident, the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon are not believed to be tied to GM's announced recall of its vehicles that was made on March 17, 2014. But five days later on March 28, 2014, GM announced a recall on the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon in order to fix a “transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in its fitting”, causing the vehicle to stop and rupture the oil cooling line, resulting in the engine to malfunction and catching fire immediately. On June 6, 2014, GM issued another recall on the 2015 Tahoe and Yukon because their radio control modules may not work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings.

In Ecuador, due to fiscal benefits to hybrid vehicles, the 3rd generation of the Tahoe had been offered only in the Hybrid versions until 2011.

Prior to the announcement of the Z56 police package model the civilian base & LS models based on the GMT400 were used in police service. During the 1997 model year, the Tahoe was offered with the Z56 police option using suspension components from the discontinued 454SS truck – the first Tahoe Z56s were available only in 2WD until the GMT400 was phased out. The original prototype had rear disc brakes based on the B-body 9C1s whereas the production Z56s came with rear drum brakes. Plans for outfitting the Tahoe with the Z56 police package originated around the 1994 model year when GM broke news about phasing out its B-platform sedans (Caprice, Impala SS, Roadmaster) at the end of the 1996 model year where a replacement was imminent since GM ended production of its body-on-frame passenger sedans due to SUV sales.
