    Front shock bottom mount ( replace rubber bushing ? )

    look for shock mount bushing - Moog has them. a bit of a pain. remove the shock, and get a bushing press in there to remove and install. I think you will have to experiment a bit. I've not done this, but I'm now going to look at mine this weekend

    Can't get 99 to go into key fob program mode

    That Fob? Make sure the battery is good. Also, at Autozone, you can find a tester at the counter to validate if the fob is functional

    Windshield Frame/Mounting Contact Area: Found Painted by Safelite Technician

    I say that Safelite guy does not know what he is talking about. what you are showing looks like every other car I've seen. Is that a 3/4 Ton, XL? I had Safelite replace glass in an 01 1/2 ton, and now have a 3/4 Ton XL. the 3/4 also leaks air ( lower left corner ). Another thing to track down.

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    Check the battery cables for corrosion. If you have pictures of the cable connections to show us, that would be helpful. I know some folks have had good experience with Delco Batteries, I have not. If you have a Costco Membership, their prices on Interstate Batteries are very good - 1...

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    2012 - you should look at the 2012 Tahoe/Yukon Forum as well. The issues you are seeing don't come up as often in the older trucks - less electronics. Not sure where you live ( NorthEast, South, etc ), but you need to check the grounds for good contact, and look for any water intrusion -...

    Long Roadtrip in Yukon 2500?

    Not many issues with that rig ( see my sig ). It is a good trip machine. Keep an eye out on fluids as you go.

    How to Operate the 4WD?

    My own rules - both with the 01 1500 ( 270K, no issues ) - Auto trac when it is raining, or snow and slippery and on the highway - press the button, never an issue. I switch back to 2WD as soon as it is not slippery - also I try not to do either switching when accelerating. 4W Hi - Deep snow...

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    How's that going? I had a Die Hard die in a BMW - 11 months - **** ( not bought by me, but based on the date codes, it was new - went Interstate AGM, and it's been good.

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    Which battery do you have? If it is Delco, I would be wary. I had so much trouble years ago, and from what I read, they are not better. The 02 XL 2500 has a new Interstate, and good since I got it in April. I had 3 Optimas in 19 years ( still have the third one - in different car now )...

    Total loss of electrical power while driving

    you need a bit more info than that. Reading about this - do you have an OE AC Delco Battery? I moved away from these back in 2003 with the 1500 XL - they died fast - but it seems that the acid leak that ruins the cables starts with the battery. I can believe it. I ran an Optima from late...

    2022 Suburban HD

    Even more cynical - the 36 million dollar suburban is the new $700 toilet seat - the money for other stuff is hidden in that budget

    Buying out of State - Lemon Squad

    That would be a non starter for me. I've done longer distance buys ( I am in NY, and bought as far away as Virginia ( 400+ Miles ). Indiana is not a state I would get a car from without being able to see it. I left a 10% deposit, and paid the balance when I went and picked it up myself. This...

    Thinking of Buying a 00-06 NBS Tahoe/Suburban? Look Here

    The VIN and the RPO codes will not tell you which heads are installed. Not sure if there is any identifier you can see on casting.

    Replace power steering box or something else? 03' Burb

    They grow on you fast. 03 with Hydroboost. 2500, not 1500? My 01 1500 was regular Vacuum boost, it did the same thing at times ( for a long time ).

    Engine overheating, coolant stuck?

    Yeah, I know that the studs can be an issue. in the 21 years, and 270K that I had the 5.3, that was the only broken stud issue I had. I now have a 6.0, and I will likely upgrade the studs before the winter.

    Engine overheating, coolant stuck?

    Ok - so you changed the Themostat - how is the fan clutch. I went 270K on my 01 XL 5.3 - overheating is not a problem in general. Bleeding is also not difficult on that setup. If you can, park it nose up, heat on full, and turn it on. see where the coolant settles to. You should have a low...

    Ok so i have a huge dilemma......i need opinions from everyone!

    Nope. Don't do it. Karma will find a way to bite you on that. Any T800 is not so rare to necessitate this. You have no idea what the possible downstream impacts of this are ( like a traffic or parking ticket that morphs into a huge mess ).
