OK, this 2000 Chevy Tahoe is one of the limited made in the old body style from the 90s, its been dropped 2 inches, has K&N air induction and flowmaster cat back exhaust. Has a 350 vortec with the automatic factory tranny and the factory body kit. It's a four-door model and has light-weight aluminum rims. Any guess on the horsepower?

A: 220 horsepower is wrong answer that is the rating on 1995 and older tbi 5.7 non-vortec engine. 1996 and newer 5.7 vortec engine is rated at 255 horsepower before modifications. Beyond that it's a guesstimate? If you really want to know take your vehicle to a shop with dynometer,Then you know what your real BHP horsepower is after your modifications. Hope this helps.

On my 2000 Chevy tahoe (z71), occationally I can't shift transmission out of parking level. There's gotta be a override? Does anyone know?

Q: i have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe limited and i need to know what kind of differential comes with the vehicle?
is it a posi, limited slip, or what?

A: I believe that you would have the 10 bolt rear axle. Count how many bolts are holding on the diff cover... 10 or 14. If it is 14, then you have the semi-floating 14B. I don't think the 14B was available on the Tahoe, but I could be wrong. As for the innards, it is either an 'open' unit, or it has the G80 option. Look inside your glovebox, there is a list of RPO codes, if you find one that says G80 then you have the factory posi-unit. If you don't see the G80, you have an open carrier. Gearing is either 3.73, or if I remember correctly it is a 3.42 ratio.

We see the 3 levers and don't want to force anything.

A: To remove the seat, do the following: Open the liftgate to access the controls for the 50/50 seat and enter the rear of the vehicle. Fold the seatback forward, the seat cannot be removed unless the seatback is folded. Unlatch the rear of the seat from the floor by pulling up on the release lever labeled 2, located next to the carrying handle at the rear of the seat. Lift the rear of the seat up from the floor. Squeeze the release lever to release the seat from the floor, while pulling the seat out. While holding the rear of the seat up, roll the seat out of the vehicle.
