    22” Tire Pressure - What PSI are you using?

    You have to really overinflated for the tread to wear in the middle. My 3500 wants the rear wheels at 80psi. They wear in the middle but I can’t find a good medium. If I run 50-60 then the sidewalls bulge like they’re low on air. If I run 70-80 the middles bald. I guess that’s the price of...

    From a no rust area

    I had a 96 in that exact color. Not nearly as clean. Really nice truck though, I enjoyed it while I had it. Mine had the 305 though. Still had some pep. I bought another 96 right after this one and I believe that’s where my love for gm stemmed from.

    Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

    It’s amazing how much weight you can move and not realize until you see it on the scale. We use a f550 dump truck occasionally with a 15 yd roll off dumpster. Our full gut houses will fill that about 3 times. Usually a little over 10k lb by the end of the job, but I’m not moving that shit...

    Stereo Help...?

    Back in the day. You just ground the purple wire and it thinks you’re in park all the time. Now I’ve heard of some brands changing this to where you have to like engage the parking brake twice or something to activate video playing. This was done to combat the grounding trick. I just don’t...

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    Where did you get a piston? Now that it’s windows down season, the sound is getting annoying. I might address mine soon.

    2003 Tahoe 5.3 VIN-Z - P0300 With a Twist

    See all them numbers are way out of my league. Though, some guys here are extremely helpful. Have you tried swapping the injectors? To different cylinders to see if it follows Also minutes before I pulled the heads, I pulled the valve covers and cranked the engine. I pressed my thumb firmly...

    2003 Tahoe 5.3 VIN-Z - P0300 With a Twist

    shitttt… I’m not saying this is your problem , but I definitely feel your pain. I chased a misfire for close to 6 months, even caved and took it to a mechanic who later recommended I just take it to a Chevy dealer for further diagnostic. I did compression test, leak down test, spark plugs...

    Which brand of struts do you recommend for 2015 Yukon with Magneride?

    From my experience, get the oem. I cheaped out because I didn’t wanna pay for oem. Mine are seeping fluid after a year.

    Reverse facing car seats seem too upright

    Well to address the “approved” wedge. You’re not gonna find that. The answer is to get a different car seat if you wanna go by the book. However if I was in your shoes and you’re married to that specific seat. Wedge some folded up towels under the base and pull on them iso latch straps...

    05 Yukon Denail Got Broken Into

    I don’t even understand why people even bother without the proper equipment. At this point, they just vandalized you stuff. It’s my understanding that you haven’t been able to steal a car with a screwdriver (besides Hyundai) since the 90s.

    Remanufactured 5.3 source?

    Got a crate from Jegs maybe 8 years ago or so. It was a basic swap no fancy high end stuff. Overall I was happy with the whole transaction and what I received. However, I think freight delivery was the only option they offered. I had to have it delivered to my friends warehouse where a fork...

    Saginaw Michigan - Service a 2008 Hybrid Yukon?

    Have you tried any actual GM dealers? Dealership is usually my last stop but I imagine they’d have to service something they once sold.

    Rear driver side brakes making awful creaking sound

    My 2015 does this and I assumed it was my brake booster going. Since that’s at common issue. I admittedly haven’t looked too deep into the issue but now I’ll try to pinpoint the noise to see if it’s closer to each wheel or master cylinder

    Looking for GM wheel locks in black

    I was thinking the same, it looks like a regular socket could take them off?

    Trailer break system warning

    There’s 2 that look similar. I forget exactly what they look like. As soon as you drop the tire, you’ll identify them immediately. It’s been a while since I did it so I don’t exactly remember.

    Trailer break system warning

    Mine goes off once in a blue moon and it’s annoying as hell. Your trailer brake has modules behind the spare tire. You can try to lower the tire, unplug the modules and clean out the plugs with compressed air. It seemed to help my issue
