    Power Liftgate Issues -2011 Yukon

    Well, it's been a week and the liftgate has been operating normally. I have not taken the trim panels off to check the plugs since it has been fine. I'm sure it will act up again and I will need to dig in there at some point.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    The one I installed was about 2 inches shorter in overall length than the one I took off. It was a pain to get onto the crank pulley, without a stretch belt tool it wouldn't have worked.

    Newer engines have the tensioner up near the top of the engine and a stupid stretch belt for the AC compressor, only, way down low.

    Yeah, I had a squeaking on start up in temps near or below zero so I swapped out both the pulley and the tensioner. Mine wasn't a chirp but it was a constant squeak until it warmed up.

    I have been wanting a dash cam for years, don't really need one where I live now but it would be handy for when I travel to cities.

    The gangster lean.

    I do the lean forward to check my blind spot when changing lanes. Habit from not being able to see out of the rear of a vehicle. I also always check my mirrors near the apex of a turn, out of habit from pulling a trailer. On a left turn I check my right mirror just as I enter the lane. Again...

    I have had a CDL for about 3 decades. I adjust my mirrors on my cars like I do when I was operating a rig for years. The biggest issue these days is manufacturers are making their headlights brighter and aiming them higher. I absolutely hate convex side mirrors, if I could, I would replace every...

    I was noticing that on my drive from Calif to WY. Never really noticed it until this last trip. I figured the PO just had the right mirror replaced at some point and did not have the correct mirror installed. It does have the blind spot detection and turn signal indicator but I figured it wasn't...

    Power Liftgate Issues -2011 Yukon

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn't looking at it being a door latch issue because the pull close mechanism still operated as it should even when the power lift didn't. Didn't really figure on it being the control module because that should be a go / no go type of part. It either works or it...

    Upgraded from a 2008 Denali to a 2009 Eski

    I don't think I ever want to own anything with a CVT trans.

    Power Liftgate Issues -2011 Yukon

    Recently, the power lift gate would not operate on my Yukon. This lasted for about 5 days. Previously, it has refused to work when temps were near zero. I chalked that up to it just being too cold for the mechanism. Hooked up my scanner and pulled these codes. I started pricing a replacement...

    Looks like a pretty clean specimen to start with.

    I kept a dirt bike handy for earthquake reasons for many, many years.

    I still have my 2002 Nissan Altima as an emergency vehicle. It has 250k but still runs perfectly, I was driving it around the other day with the AC blasting because it was 92* for some stupid reason a few days ago in So Cal. I will sell it before everything gets liquidated in Calif because it is...
