    Yukon Engine Failure - Buyback?

    Years ago we used to talk about these trucks going 200, 300k+ Now apparently 15.025 miles is a stretch. We are going in the wrong direction. Truly sorry for your ordeal. If it was me i probably would have pushed it into the ocean already, assuming i was not still paying on it.

    What happened?

    Yes lol. This is reassuring though Lord Willing. Imo the truck sounds as good as could be expected considering what it’s been through in the last 48 hours, lol. But I’m not an expert,, you guys may have more trained ears I mean, the coolants all gone, belt’s removed, snorkel /CAI is...

    What happened?

    Alright so, took the serp belt off and ran it for 30 seconds twice to see… Motor sounds fine.. i took two videos of those tests which i will upload here later tonight so that you all could be the judge and let me know your opinions. Oh, the water pump pulley is completely loose.. it’s crazy...

    What happened?

    Sound advice. I did monitor the dummy gauge. After the grinding death noises started, the temp did start rising but it never maxed out.. it got probably 3/4 up so halfway between normal and full blown overheating. That’s literally the point where i shifted into neutral and coasted all home...

    What happened?

    Yes sorry, fatigue got me - forgot to say which vehicle. It is the PPV. Looking this morning i don’t see any busted hoses, may post some pics a bit later of (potential) areas of concern? Otherwise most of the dripping on the ground is basically right below where the water pump is (thought...

    What happened?

    Long story short, just did 150 mile drive. It’s late and I’m pushing it kind of hard to get back. Made it all the way back to the city, about a 1/4 mile away from home we decide to stop by the drive thru right quick for a fast food night cap… But as i slow down to turn in, i hear dramatic...

    Never ending debate - best oil weight

    Never ending debate - best oil weight

    i used this . . . i mean truth be told i really wanted to try the Valvoline restore and protect. When i went to buy the oil, i didn’t see the R&P. So i just went with the “usual”.. aka valvoline full syn. After i paid for the oil and was walking out, i saw an entire endcap filled to brim...

    Never ending debate - best oil weight

    Did the change, 5w30. Could just be my imagination but it seems to run smoother and a bit quieter on start up. Probably my imagination.. but going to run at least 5w30 from here on out. oh and for for what it’s worth.. 8 quarts with filter and the dipstick reads all the way to the top of the...

    Need vehicle opinion other than my wifes

    “Only” making 250k/yr… Man get real. Lotta people buying 80K vehicles are not even making 80k a year. If you’re making 250K+/yr buy whatever you want.
