    Pour one out for a fallen Yukon

    I'll likely continue lurking. I was putting up the cash and fixed this one up for her, but she says she'll handle getting her replacement car. So if she wants another Yukon, so be it. I'll definitely dissuade her from getting a major fixer upper like this one was if it comes to it though. It...

    Pour one out for a fallen Yukon

    Well, after a bunch of work and money, my kid wrecked the car. She's bruised up a bit, but fortunately she'll be just fine. As for the car, ain't no coming back. The roof is absolutely smashed in, the frame is jacked, and the driver side suspension is in pieces in a field somewhere. I'm not...

    How to know if transmission is 4x4 or 4x2?

    Is it in the rpo codes or the vin somewhere?

    Transmission whining noise, codes, and can't drive over 40mph

    The transmission has over 200K on it and I read P0741 & P0757 when I hooked up a code reader. The under hood transmission dipstick seemed to read OK. Somebody tell me this car isn't toast after all the work I put into ito_O

    Can the brake system be bled if the EBCM does not work?

    The description of the problem I was encountering is in this thread. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/several-abs-codes.133222/post-1667649 I cleaned up the ground on the frame rail close to the front driver side rail good. After I saw no change there, I tried to confirm there was...

    Can the brake system be bled if the EBCM does not work?

    I attempted to fix my module, but it was unsuccessful. Fortunately, I'm not concerned about having ABS. However, I have a problem that I didn't consider before starting my brake line job. I've already replaced a couple brake lines that connect to the ABS valve and I still have some more to go...

    Do Yukon HVAC systems use both orfice tube and a TXV?

    I'm doing some reading about car A/C systems and I wanted to compare what I read to what I see. From what I read in a service manual and along with some poking around rockauto, it looks like this car has both in it. If true, that's surprising as I thought a car would only have one system or the...

    So your a/c is leaking refrigerant as fast as you are putting it in?

    Good write up. I was checking the refrigerant levels on another car and after removing the gauge set, I got leaking. I totally think I inadvertently unscrewed the valve core now that I read this. I replaced the core, but not after a bunch of refrigerant leaked out. Lost $200 on that mistake....

    How to temporarily seal brake line leak?

    For starters, this car WILL NOT be driven anywhere until the line is repaired. All I want is to stop the leaking in my driveway till I can get everything together I need. It's a pin sized hole with a slow leak and I tried to just wrap it with duck tape but it hasn't really slowed the flow.

    What size nut for master cylinder port block off

    If you have an endoscope, you can pull the brake booster check valve and look inside for signs of leaks. Not 100% conclusive, but it's something. I'd like to know the correct size also.

    Alternator Will Not Charge During Idle But Charges At Higher Engine Speed?!?!?

    If you look at a RPM on a scantool, does it match what you're seeing on the tach?

    Will I have to worry about an ABS bleed if I replace the rear brake line?

    Good to know. As for your question. I do research, but if I encounter something unfamiliar, how else will I learn what I need to?

    Will I have to worry about an ABS bleed if I replace the rear brake line?

    As discovered in my other thread, I need to replace the rear brake line that runs on the driver side frame rail. Is there a high likelihood I'll introduce air into the ABS upon replacing this line?
