    2007 Yukon Denali No Go! ???

    Get the truck on a lift with the wheels free to rotate, and go thru the shifts with someone underneath the truck with a stethoscope, and you should be able to pinpoint the source of your noise. That is how I figured out my noise, and it resulted in the front differential replacement.

    Blackbear tune... I'd like to hear from personal experience to set up

    Well there is the setup and put away time for the AutoCal and files transfer, and that rounds out the 15 minutes of total time that I alluded to.

    Fuel injection maintainance

    I've never seen E85 anywhere in NH, not that I've looked real hard. If you find a station serving E85, please let me know, just for information purposes at this time, as I currently run exclusively Sunoco 93 octane in my truck.

    Blackbear tune... I'd like to hear from personal experience to set up

    The first time that you perform the tune installation, it may take you 1/2 to 1 hour, just going slow to make sure that you do it correctly. From the second time forward (if needed for additional mods, tire size changes, etc.) it should not take you any more than 15 minutes to complete. You...

    Blackbear tune... I'd like to hear from personal experience to set up

    Me too. Original OEM tune files (which BlackBear made and returned to me in an AutoCal installable format after submitting my original 20 minute data file to them, so I could convert to the OEM tune if/when needed) and 2 sets of high performance tunes, based upon what tire size I am running...

    Blackbear tune... I'd like to hear from personal experience to set up

    I did the fully remote tune with BlackBear. They sent me everything that I needed, which are primarily the AutoCal device and the instructions. The folks above have given you great summaries of the steps required, but the bottom line is that if you are reasonably computer savvy (downloading...

    Fuel injection maintainance

    As @OR VietVet stated, a properly sized bottle of Chevron Techron additive (the large bottle for 20+ gallons of gasoline in the tank) used every 3 months (which is what I do) will help keep the injector system clean.

    AC cold, but fan stopped. Separate fuse?

    I suspect that there is a fuse for the blower motor, and it 'should' be identified in your fuse box, either in the engine well or in the cabin on the left side. Also, a common occurrence is the burn out of the resistor pack, which controls the fan speed. Usually, one speed stops working, but...

    2014 Tahoe lift gate wont open

    You should have a button on the overhead console in the front for the rear deck opening/closing. I have found that occasionally the button is in the 'off' position, which negates the rear deck from opening. Toggle that switch back and forth, and see if that resolves your issue.

    Replacing cheap Bose speakers 2022 RST Tahoe

    I like Kenwood head units. Not that they are any better than other head units with similar price points, I just selected Kenwood at the suggestion of my audio shop owner, and I've standardized on Kenwood across all of my vehicles (never met an OEM audio system that I was completely satisfied...

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    There are 5 genuine OEM front Z55 shocks (only) left at GMPartsDirect.com at $363.33 each, and as @petethepug stated, you should also purchase the ancillary rubber parts and steel top plate to go with the entire strut assembly. The springs are currently backordered at this web site, but you can...

    Replacing cheap Bose speakers 2022 RST Tahoe

    First of all, Bose systems and/or speakers are not 'cheap', as they are considered to be a premium audio system. You don't have to like the Bose sound, and in fact, I am not a fan of the Bose sound, but to be clear, the Bose system is a premium system. One of the main reasons why I am not a...

    Tires out of round?

    Before you go the warranty route, I suggest that you take it to a local shop that had a Road Force wheel balancer, and let them go through the full diagnostics on your wheel and your tire, along with re-seating the tire on the wheel. If your problem still exists, then you have some substantive...

    Propping Hood Vertical

    I've never tried this, but I'm thinking that once you get the hood to that vertical position, you're only 2 bolts away from removing the hood from the truck, so you might as well complete the task and remove the hood from the truck.

    “Normal” oil pressure on Gauge-2013 Tahoe

    What is the current status of your oil? I notice that when I'm approaching 5000 miles (my oil change interval), my oil pressure may be a few PSI lower at the various phases of my engine RPM's, but that reverts back as soon as I change my oil.

    Disappointed newbie

    Maybe he should try Facebook or X, where he'd be more likely to receive a more timely nonsense response. But, at least, it would be a response.
