If the sensor is not in the transmission, it could be in the rear differential. The sensors at the wheels and differentials are usually for the abs system.

SOURCE: 2003 chevy tahoe no rear heat

I know the earlier tahoe's have two heater lines running from the engine compartment to the rear under the vechile. Those lines could be clogged or pinched shut. What you do is get two hose locking pliers. Go under your truck, they are two metal lines that turn into rubber and back into metal again farther down the line. First, checked for pinched lines. If none, find where the rubber hoses are, clamp them off, remove from metal lines and drain. Use garden hose to flush fresh water through. When water comes through at high pressure and pretty clear, it should be done. Reconnect hoses, top off radiator fluid and it should be fine.

SOURCE: torque specs on Chevy Silverado 2500 rear diff yoke.

There isn't a torque spec since those bearing are pre-loaded. You place the unit on a good known vic and get a breaker bar and you might even have to put an extention on that and you begin to tighten unitil you fell the bearing start to load...a little extra short turn wouldn't hurt at that point.

Center differential
IF you are in constant 4wd then you will not have a centre diff unless you have an AWD. The difference is that AWD transfer cases have a centre diff that allows different road speeds between the front and rear diffs as in going over speed bumps and dips ion the road It is the same operation in the front and rear diffs that allow one wheel to go faster than the other when cornering. However in 4wd drive there is no diff action in the transfer case and both front and rear axles drive at the same speed regardless of speed bumps and dips in the road . This action produces what is known as torque wind up which results in the handling characteristics. This torque wind up places stress on all the drive line train and results in failures such as .that you describe.. This wind up is not noticeable when driving on loose surfaces slippery surfaces or in mud as it is allowed to escape when the wheels spin . If you have an AWD with diff lock capabilities then check that the diff lock is operating correctly

I need to replace rear axel on 2001 chevy silverado 1500
jack up the rear end high and place chassis rails on stands. Remove wheels . disconnect brake hose to the rear and use a hose pincher to stop brake fluid leaking out . Disconnect the hand brake cable at a convenient point ( probably at the rear of the transmission. Disconnect the drive shaft at the diff pinion and lay to one side . Place the jack under the diff housing centre and take a bit of weight. . If you have leaf springs --undo the "U" bolts around the housing . If coil springs undo the track rods by removing all the pivot bush bolts. Lower the diff housing down and pull out from under the car. Make any changes you have to, to the other diff housing before placing it on the jack and placing it under the car Reassembly is the reverse process of removal.. Bleed rear brakes on completion of the job.

Chevy tahoe 2005 recall
I found six recalls that are listed for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe. The six recalls are: Recall ID# 41352 (trans-), ID# 47203 (front air-bags), ID# 75648 (wheels), ID# 55650 (service brakes), ID# 56239 (seat belt, rear), and ID# 59682 (fuel system, gas) You will need to contact your local Chevy Dealership and speak to a representative in the Service Department. Have your VIN# ready before you call. Explain to them that you want to know if they show any active Recalls for your vehicle. They will acknowledge if any of them pertain to your specific SUV. Please know that even thought I found six recalls for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe, that doesn't me they apply to your vehicle.

Chevy tahoe gear differential
remove the drain plugs from the diff units and check for metal bits. Check for metal in the transfer case oil as it sounds like a bearing in the diff section of the transfer case has failed.. There is a small diff here to allow the front wheels to travel at a different speed to the rear unit to allow for driving over un even surfaces or speed bumps.

I have a 1994 chevy Cheyenne 1500 2wd and I have a hard vibration once I reach between 55-70. If I push the gas pedal a little harder or let off of it it goes away. Don't know what it is could u plz...
I presume that is miles per hour. If the vibration is felt in the steering wheel, the problem is probably in the front wheels. If the vibration is felt in the seat, check the rear wheels. To check the rear wheels, if it is not posi traction, just jack up one wheel at a time and bring the speed up to half the odometer reading (one wheel turns twice as fast as two wheels). To check the front wheels just rotate to the rear one wheel at a time.

Also check for bent rims and defective universal joints.

Rear wheels on 2000 super duty f250 skid in reverse only
I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a severe problem in the rear end. Here are a couple of things i would do. First pull off your tires and wheels. Of course you need to put the truck on jack stands and block the wheels for safety! Disconnect your rear drive line so you know nothing from front diff or trans could be affecting it. Next spin the brake rotors by hand and inspect them for severe damage. Go forwards and backwards. Also listen in your rear end for grinding or clunking noises and also excessive play front foward to reverse. And last drain your oil and put your finger up inside the housing as far as you can and feel for large pieces that should not be there. This should give you a good idea if it is in your braking sytem your rear end or wether you need to start looking at front diff. or the trans. If all is good on rear end do the same thing for front diff and inspect it as well. Make sure you pull front driveline off!

1999 Chevy Tahoe 4dr 4wd. Brake light comes on when pedal is slightly pressed then off again when pressed in more then on again when fully pressed.. Has a new switch and the problem occured before a new...
Hi


To start with check the Speed Sensor on the front and rear. Usually the issue is with the rear speed sensor which can be replaced easily and will cost you around $25-$40. There is a sensor at the top of the rear differential for the ABS system. When the ABS sensor on the diff goes bad the Speedo no longer will work, the odometer stops recording mileage and both brake and ABS light comes on. You also loose O/D or "Lock-up" in the torque converter. The sensor is inexpensive and can be changed in about 30 mins.
Replace rear differential speed sensor as follows:
a) Remove parking brake cable bracket (1/2" socket)
b) Remove speed sensor bolt (9/16" deep socket)
c) Remove metal speed sensor cover
d) Remove speed sensor from rear differential housing (use channel lock pliers, twist gently back and forth while applying upward pressure. Once the speed sensor has a small gap between it and the rear differential housing, insert a flat-blade screwdriver and gently apply upward pressure while gently twisting speed sensor back and forth.
e) Disconnect speed sensor from speed sensor cable
f) Lubricate new sensor with WD-40, insert into rear differential housing. It will NOT go in all the way by hand, so do NOT force it nor hit it with anything made out of metal.
g) Replace metal speed sensor cover
h) Insert speed sensor bolt and tighten LIGHTLY until a small amount of pressure is felt. Tap speed sensor with rubber hammer until it pops into housing. Finish tightening of speed sensor bolt.
i) Replace brake cable bracket, replace 1/2" nut and tighten
j) Disconnect positive battery cable for 2 minutes, reconnect positive battery cable

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Chevy Tahoe 2001
Place vehicle in 4wd (high or low). This will hold the front drive shaft still for the rest of the test. Jack up the front end of the vehicle. Remove the actuator. Have a buddy spin the right front wheel while you use a long punch or screwdriver to try to manually engage the diff. The left front wheel should spin in the other direction if the diff is good. Also before you check the diff you need to grab the front driveshaft and make sure it is locked, If it spins freely when the truck is in park and in 4wd with the front end raised then problem is in transfer case. If you can't make the diff engage manually with punch then the problem is in the diff. If front diff engages manually then the problem is the actuator. Hope this helps..

2005 Yukon Front Diff Axle seals
You don't have to remove the whole diff to change the seals, but you will have to seperate it where the shaft meets the carrier housing. There is a clip holding the passenger axle shaft in place that you have to remove to change the seal. The drivers side axle stub can be removed with a little force as there is a spring clip holding that side in.
