    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    I was able to get it back about 6pm last night and it started without any hiccups. Did a bit of running around and then came home. Went out once more and heard the alleged "piston slap". I asked if there could be a shimming problem and mechanic didn't think so. Didn't get a chance to get a...

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    Got the inspection plate off and found no loose bolts or anything. Wear on the teeth is about it. Starter that was put in Sunday had a bad bendix. When we took it off it was just flopping around, but no damage to the nose cone. Replacing the flywheel in the morning. Reading the bulletin...

    WTF is this?

    Dude! Its fuggin sticky foam, with the sticky back. I pulled all of it off before bolting the stater back up and now I hear a scrape, like when trying to start a car already running, when I start. This is my 3rd starter since 2008. I changed one in 2004, and now I'm having major issues..CONO!

    WTF is this?

    There's a half gasket foam thing on the wall of my transmission where it meets the starter. Is that supposed to be there or not? I don't recall it being there when I changed the starter in 2004...

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    Got the Yukon up on the rack today and checked out the flywheel. No missing teeth but a few rough spots. I took, or tried to take a picture of the worst spot. It's blurry so it looks worse than it was. I was quoted prices of $710.00 and $600.00 to replace the flywheel. Lower price came from a...

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    Well, starter started crapping out already. It's spinning but not turning or engaging the flywheel. Tried a couple of times and she finally started and I can hear a definite rattle when I'm driving. Made another appointment for the morning with my mechanic. I was supposed to leave it today but...

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    I'm gonna get under her and see if anything looks off to me. I'm gonna have the guy who works on stuff I can't do, look at as well. This is my 3rd starter in 8 years. The 1st one I changed and don't remember any damage to the housing. The 2nd and 3rd were done at PBoys and no mention of...

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    Yep. That's what Pep Boys said my flywheel is doing to the starter. It didn't sound right to me, which is why I took the pics. I had to go to work and wasn't there when they had everything off, so no pics of the flywheel. The tech said it wasn't showing any missing teeth, but I wasn't able to...

    When I looked at them for sale the direct drive looked a lot bigger than the gear reduction. Also, is it worth it to try to replace just the solenoid?

    99 Yukon starter question? --Moved from incorrect sub-forum

    Tried to start my truck today and the starter sounds like it's it just spinning. Not engaging the flywheel, no attempts at turning over. Yesterday morning the wife piece left the center overhead light on looking for something, so I tried to jump it. Nada, same spinning sound. I'm guessing my...

    Yeah, the salt will damage the finish. How bad and how soon is gonna be determined by how much you drive in it, quality of your wheels, and how often you clean it off.

    winter shoes

    I've taken my wheels off in November, usually after Tanxgiving. I work in a hilly area so I want all my 4x4 capabilities. Also, it gives me a chance to clean the inside part of the wheels COMPLETELY. I had performance tires on my wheels in the past but this year I went with an all season 22. I...

    That's different! The pulls usually break off while the seats in the down position.LOL. At least mine did. Now I use a block to keep them from latching when the seat is in the seat position.
