    Broken Motor Mounts

    Glad it went smoothly for you! Sounds like you did all the same things as me, for whatever reason I had a lot of trouble with the four mount-to-block bolts. Regardless, definitely one of those jobs worth having behind you! :cool:

    Broken Motor Mounts

    I will say, it's really a nice feeling to hit the accelerator now and not hear/feel the clunk! Hope yours goes better than mine did! Kevin

    Broken Motor Mounts

    If you have 4WD get ready for a real fun-fest. I changed my driver-side mount this weekend. Spent about 12 hours and really tore my left arm up badly. See my post. Beware the black rectangular connector block for the ECU/Ignition harnesses (between radiator and #1 cylinder). The exposed corner...

    Random driveline clunk when accelerating from a full stop

    Never again... at 64 your muscles don't recover from the soreness quite as quickly, not to mention a lot of bruising across my chest from laying across the radiator support. Lots of Tylenol helps considerably, as did a cold beer when I was done! :cool: Update - 4/15/2024: Purchased the missing...

    Random driveline clunk when accelerating from a full stop

    So it turns out Easter weekend was a terrible weekend to try and do the replacement. Too many commitments AND terrible weather. Fast forward one weekend and have to say this was the most difficult motor mount replacement (most bloody too) I've ever done. Seems a lot of the videos are on 2-wheel...

    Random driveline clunk when accelerating from a full stop

    Guys - Thanks so much for your spot-on advice! Brake torqued the engine with the hood up and couldn't believe how much it moved... I could make it "thunk" on command with the accelerator. O'Reilly had 1 mount that I bought yesterday, with the other arriving today. Those suckers list at $90 but...

    Thank-You! Will give those all a look too when I'm under there this evening and advise back. Kevin :thumbsup:

    Thank-You! Hadn't thought of that one, will give it a look after work this afternoon and advise back. Much appreciated! Kevin

    Random driveline clunk when accelerating from a full stop

    2013 Tahoe, 5.3L, 127K miles. Bought her used at ~46K miles. I change the engine oil/filter every 4K miles, Trans fluid/filter every 2 years, transfer case and diff's every year. Engine runs and idles smoothly, right at 500RPM in Drive per the dash tach. When pulling away from a traffic light...

    2019 Tahoe lifter failure at 47000 miles

    My experience is that the horror stories about the cheaply made torque convertors are true. Our 2013's Torque convertor started grinding its guts into the 6L80 transmission this last summer with just 112K on the clock. And that's with trans Fluid/Filter changes every 3 years. Back on the road...

    Clear Coat issue

    They D/A'd it down to the metal, followed by prime, basecoat and finally 3 coats of clear. This was at a friend's shop. They were able to do this with the hood still on the vehicle, saving considerable time/labor. They did a great job taping-off the sides and engine compartment, so there...

    Clear Coat issue

    From what I can see in the picture, the clearcoat is worn-off/peeled-off exposing the basecoat. The basecoat has no shine as it depends on the clearcoat for that. Same thing happened on the hood of our 2013 (Black). It became foggy and was checking. The Arizona sun is no friend to black paint...

    Yukon Denali XL (2011) - Radiator Replacement - Oil Cooler Line Issue

    Installed a Murray Radiator on Saturday into my wife's 2013 Tahoe (MHT 434090). Best 4-hours of my life... NOT! Lots of sharp edges to tear into my arms as I navigated to the cooling fan plugs, cooler line clips and such. So sharp you don't feel it, you just notice that there's blood on stuff...
