    Regarding the fix question: Per multiple dealers and GM; nothing to fix as it is operating as intended. :) yep, seriously, that's what I've been told. Regarding the; does it go into limp mode question: Yep, it will, it takes a bit in that it will go further then it says it will; but yah, you'll...

    not lift, but stretch; any options?

    I have an ask to build another tracked tahoe, but the client doesn't want the vehicle lifted (at all). If possible they would like the vehicle lowered but still clear the tracks. On a previous jeep xj I built for tracks I pushed the rear axle back via axle perches. The extension of the rear...

    Pickup tube question on 2007 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2

    Did you drop the pan or replace the o-ring via taking off the oil pump? If you did the o-ring without dropping the pan how difficult was it to get the bolt out of the pickup tube and then replace it?

    ice trip; had some issues (oil pressure / charging)

    The first battery was fully charged prior to the issue (as well as the swapped battery); additionally they were enough to start the engine. Not sure how bad batteries could start an engine then pull enough off the alternator to indicate below 9 volts then work normally (take a charge, indicate...

    ice trip; had some issues (oil pressure / charging)

    2008 Tahoe LTZ, 217k on tracks; was up on Lake Winnipeg last weekend. I don't have a lot of time in this rig, bought the Tahoe and installed the lift / tracks right away, maybe 100 miles on it. First issue: Noticed that the oil pressure was staying about 25 psi. Seems to be a candidate for...

    Battery Replacement a Professional Job?!

    The 'professional' part is having to remove a support brace to get the battery out. No special tools, no telling the computer it has a new battery, it's 1/2 a step more difficult then not having the brace in the way. If GM believes this is a 'professional' only operation; I can only imagine how...
