Hello, I found this site, and I have to say it is great. I belonged to an Acura legend site before I bought my tahoe last week, and I was bummed that I though there would not be a Tahoe message board.
Anyway, my 99 with 79K on it runs PERFECT, I got a GREAT deal on it and I have been happy. Well I took it through a touchless car wash today, and now A get these little squeeks from the engine area. I think that the undercarriage wash is what did it, since all kinds of steam was bellowing from my tahoe as I was passing over the jets of water. Its only been a few hours since I did it, but the squeeks are annoying! They sound like about 5 hamster wheels turning. I reved the engine a bit to see if the belts would just dry out and it would stop, but It still squeeks. I even drove it around for a while. Im worried that the cold water on the HOT engine might have hurt something. Anyone have any idea? Maybe some sort of lube,??? Thanks ahead of time...
