    Probably need new O2 sensors?

    Will do, I agree with you when dealing with electrical components to keep it OE. I couldn't find the OE on Rock Auto, so I will surely monitor economy and driveability, any hit on MPG they are coming out for sure. First two drives have been very favorable though. I will start another thread as...

    Question about replacing fuel lines

    This is on a 2012 XL Denali, 140K miles. While replacing my upstream O2 sensors, I noticed a small amount of rust on the fuel line under the black plastic retainer that also secures the O2 sensor. Doesn't look too bad, but I have been debating replacing my fuel pump as preventive maintenance...

    Probably need new O2 sensors?

    I wanted to add to this. I just changed both my upstream sensors, I noticed the tips were different with the new Denso sensors. The sensors I removed only had a few holes near the tip, but the denso had numerous holes the full length of the tip. How much different are these, if any...not sure...

    New Akebono pads squealing

    Yeah, I was surprised to find all the play. Video starts with left to right, then up and down. Two different sets of Akebono pads did this, OE and Wagners fit perfect.

    New Akebono pads squealing

    I swapped out my rear Wagner fleet pads as they were nearing the last 25% for the Akebono 1194. I did not realize the new pads came without hardware...(sigh) but my old hardware seemed good. I needed the 1194A. When I installed them, I noticed the fit was a little sloppy in the hardware. My...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    If needed, I was thinking I could remove any control from the computer to alter the damping. Thus leaving the strut void of any changes to damping.

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    I need to clarify. My current setup is OE, factory harness connected to the strut. I do not have a resistor connected to the harness, I also do not have a CEL. I fabricated the resistor IN CASE I need to use it. No codes, replaced OE struts at approx 120K miles. Mechanic is definitely...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    Not too bad, just had alignment done and I had the guy check to rule out them moving too much. I will get a pic of them later. What it seems to do is the strut compresses but stops, then releases. Like moving your finger on a piece of glass..keep it moving it glides, but stop and start again...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    All strut bolts are tight, resistors are avail and assembled on a OE pigtail to connect directly to the strut harness if needed for further testing, currently the connection is OE. Caliper bolts are tight, Timken bearings about 1YO, no movement when moving tire..all is quiet. You can see the...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    Roughly 10 months ago, I replaced my front strut cartridges with the OE BWI 19420494, also used new coil spring insulators. I had a reputable shop swap the springs and all has been good. About a month ago I started hearing and feeling a light "thunk" or "bump" in the LF when backing from a...

    Did Michelin discontinue the Defender LTX in 22"?

    Was hoping it was a supply issue but, I guess we shall see what comes our way. Thanks.

    Did Michelin discontinue the Defender LTX in 22"?

    Need torque specs for front diff and crossmember

    2012 Yukon XL Denali. Don't want to trust the google web on this. I have a slight clunk a few months after the front diff swap, I think it's the cross member bolts, but want to go over all of them....thanks.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    FWIW, I hear the Hummer mounts are robust, but some mention they just don't absorb as much vibration as the OE, but only slight differences. Mine lasted almost 10 years, so I felt that added smoothness was worth it even though I can't compare them, just word of mouth. So for less $$, I went...

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    We replied at the same time. IME, with 2-speed GM transfer cases, you can drive in 2HI (2WD) with the front shaft removed. I've done this a few times. List your vehicle so others can confirm this.
