    Anyone wanna play internet diagnosis (08 Yukon XL suspension noise)

    I 2nd checking the wheel bearings. Not to go off topic but do you run 80 psi in the tires all the time?

    2015 Yukon Denali - Engine Failure - Sell or Fix?

    Selling it as is limits your buyers by a lot. It's worth a shot I guess. I just don't see a lot of people willing to spend $10k+ on a vehicle and then drop another $8-12k replacing the engine if that's the going rate in your area. Now if a guy (buyer) can replace it himself he could save some...

    2015 Yukon Denali - Engine Failure - Sell or Fix?

    I'd get more then one quote to compare. A tow to another shop is worth it to save thousands. I haven't had the pleasure of yanking our 5.3 yet but 30 hours seems a bit high to me to remove and throw a new or used one in. In my area it seems like shops are pretty busy since new vehicle prices...

    Plastic Engine Cover

    If you can hear the difference "sound deadening" from sitting inside the vehicle you've got some darn good hearing. Fwiw ram quit putting their engine cover on a few years ago so I've read and seen.

    2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Tick at Idle

    How many miles does it have on it? I'll 2nd, 3rd, and 4th that the oil pressure is fine. Perhaps your previous vehicles had an oil pressure "switch" (I think it was called something like that) like ford's had for many years. Where as long as the motor had more then I forget the exact number but...

    2023 Tahoe won’t start

    An older relative of mine had a 23 tahoe and the battery crapped the bed with only 3k miles on it. They rarely drove it though (just traded it in after owning for not even a year with 5k miles).

    Remanufactured Engines

    Can't help on where but I will say read and double read the warranty before purchasing and making your decision.

    2023 Tahoe won’t start

    I'd check the battery too. What type of vehicle did you use to try jump starting it? I've seen too many times in the past 5-10 years people try jumping a bigger suv or truck with a car. Even with them revving the piss out of the car and leaving it connected for upwards of 30 minutes it still...

    slight engine resonance through steering wheel

    Is it possible what you're feeling is the engine not running on all 8 cylinders? When you're barely on the throttle I'd assume it shuts down some cylinders and probably doesn't run as smoothly as if all 8 were firing. What rpm range or ranges is it doing it at? If you're giving it a lot of...

    Traiding in 2021 Tahoe High Country for 2021 Escalade worth it?

    Congrats on the new ride! Post some pics of the bad boy when you get a chance. Hopefully you get a lot of trouble free miles out of it.

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Washed, clay barred, and waxed for the first time. I wanted to do it when we got it last fall and right away this spring, but never could find the time. Of course before I was even done claying it the wife was asking when I'd be done so she could go somewhere. Get done and it starts raining and...

    Traiding in 2021 Tahoe High Country for 2021 Escalade worth it?

    Kind of sounds like you've kind of made up your mind. If you don't like the Tahoe does it really matter how much money you'll "lose" if you're paying for a vehicle you don't like? If you're paying for a vehicle you don't like and don't use like you wanted too, to me you're losing money on it...

    How many miles are too many for you when you buy used?

    Rust is a huge factor where I live so that is more important to me then miles. The wife and I don't plan on getting rid of the vehicles we have any time soon, but when the time comes I for sure will be getting my next new older vehicle from down south. I'd rather put in a new motor and tranny...

    What weight oil do you use in the South?

    It's humbug because like you stated. It's not worth the increased wear for individuals. None of us or at least anyone I know has enough vehicles where running the thinner oil will make a big in enough difference in fuel savings in their wallet. I totally understand for the carmakers why they do...

    What weight oil do you use in the South?

    Not in the south but 5w30. There's plenty of people that have done repeated uoa's that show more wear when using 0w20 compared to when they used the same oil but in 5w30. Now how much does that matter? Will your engine last an extra 20 miles or 200k on 5w30? Who knows. I plan to keep my vehicles...

    2016 Yukon SLT-Hot engine towing up steep 7 mile grade

    How heavy was the camper you were towing? To a certain extent it doesn't really matter (coolant flush, etc) if you were towing more then it's rated for.

    Need Guidance Please - Preparing for New Travel Trailer - Questions

    There is no such thing as "dry weight." Usually those don't include propane tanks, battery(s), awning(s) etc. Always go by the gross weight. Or at least I would. My guess is the camper as it sits on the lot is 6,500-7,000 lbs. Your current hitch has a max tongue weight of 790 lbs? If so you...

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    Have you ever ran it completely empty and see how many gallons it takes to fill up? My mom had a mid 00's grand cherokee and although she didn't have live to far from her work (roughly 5 miles) she would drive that thing when it said 0 miles to empty for 2-3 days along with other errands. Me...

    2016 tahoe, how long do these fuel pumps last?

    Sorry I was talking about my 07 pontiac 5 speed. Yep it's a g5 but basically same thing. Being a 2 door and usually I'm gone all week for work (construction). I leave the back seats right out of it with how much stuff I bring with me. Suit case, cooler, sometimes a small grill, and then...

    Dealer Service History - Would you buy?

    I'd be leary of the auto transmission- customer concern not duplicated. Was there an actual problem, previous owner just being picky, or previous owner just lived with whatever it was? Unless I missed it and it was fixed/resolved. Wife drove her previous suv for 3 years (50k miles) with the...

    2016 tahoe, how long do these fuel pumps last?

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's my opinion. It could go out tomorrow or it could last you another 130k. It's not really a "wear item" per se. It either works or it doesn't. And if you get lucky when it does go you might be able to bring it back to life a time or 2 by pounding on the tank...

    Is this frame too late to save ?

    I'd start by poking around everywhere on the frame with a screw driver and see if you can find any soft spots. If there's no soft spots I'd clean it up with a wire wheel the best you can and either por 15 or even rustoleum rust converter as much as you can. Also pickup a bunch of fluid film and...

    2023 Tahoe Induction/Carbon buildup service at 15k miles?

    Our 15 is my first di engine so I'm not starting an argument but how is this possible? The fuel injectors spray the gas right into the cylinder where it gets burnt right away. How can they reformulate it to keep the motor itself cleaner? Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. @B-train glad it...

    Ran out of gas now wont start

    Can you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key? Fuel pump might be shot.

    2004 yukon denali 6.0 awd BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT

    Sorry I can't answer your questions, but just wondering why you wouldn't go ahead and replace the whole control arm(s)? They should come with the ball joint and new bushings. 2 birds with one stone. Might cost a little more but saves the headache of pressing ball joints in and out. Especially if...
