    Not Sure If Your Rear Main Seal Is Leaking?

    Also, where exactly did you use the RTV? What RTV did you use? (Did you use the one with maximum oil resistance?)

    Not Sure If Your Rear Main Seal Is Leaking?

    Hmm, look like what? Do you mean your previous picture from May 10? The only way I was able to conclude that my rear main was leaking was to replace the oil pan gasket (which I knew was leaking) by the book. I did everything by the book: specified RTV at the corners, torqued everything...

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    Brent, I just looked at the video again. Are you sure you meant the A pillar? From the angles I could see, if he was blocked by the A pillar he was already there. Did you mean the B pillar (between the front and rear seats)? I could understand this. With the wide angle lens, it's difficult...

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    Sitting far back doesn't eliminate the blind spot. I repeat, I would have never believed it until it happened to me. It took 30 years of driving before I experienced it.

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    That is sound advice. But when you have a moving object that just happens to stay in your blind spot while you are moving as well (a freak occurrence), ... When I was doing my left turn, the pedestrian began in the shadows, my light turned green so i inched forwards, scanning left and right...

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    As I said before, I had to teach myself to wobble forwards and backwards to peer around the A pillar after I had a close call. It took 30 years of driving to encounter a freak incident. Fortunately in my case, I did hit anything either. I considered it a lucky lesson.

    Cost of used Tahoes

    Well, this popped up in our local news today: https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/05/03/bc-suv-sales-pandemic/ Our housing market is just as crazy. People are seriously overbidding on properties, and overspending on vehicles. This can't be sustainable.

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    Well, I have. It was a pedestrian who was in the shadows and remained hidden behind the left A-pillar as I was turning left. I did not hit him, but it was close. I would have never believed it until it happened to me.

    WREAKED? I must be the luckiest person on earth or worst luck ever!

    Yup. Believe it or not, the A pillar is a real blind spot. The A pillar has gotten thicker over the decades, and cars and people can be hidden behind it. We have encountered several situations where a person or vehicle just happens to remain behind the A pillar, in spite of either one of us...

    Coolant lake hours later

    I third the pressure tester. It has paid for itself so many times over. It has found virtually all leaks within seconds, and even found a leak I didn't know about yet once.

    Cost of used Tahoes

    I don't think the chip problem can affect the used prices that much. However, I can see that the move away from mass transit has created a seller's market for used vehicles. Even that can't be the only factor because many who used mass transit before are just working from home. If they were...

    Cost of used Tahoes

    I just refinanced for 1.67. :favorites37: (could gone lower if I went for a 3 year term) It's crazy, but it is almost cheaper to restore my Tahoe than replace it. It's actually in good shape, but there is some rust starting. Brake lines should be done soon.

    Cost of used Tahoes

    Almost as old as my Tahoe when I got it. I paid $3500 Cdn for a 15 year old truck. Most others were going for $6000 at the time. I know this one is low mileage, but this is just crazy. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc/cto/d/burnaby-2007-chevrolet-tahoe-ltz-low-km/7301099198.html

    Cost of used Tahoes

    I'm not looking into buying just now, but I do keep an eye on prices. I will probably want to replace it in 5 years or so, but with these prices I think I may need to keep it a little longer.

    Cost of used Tahoes

    I'm seeing prices from 13000 to 20000 for 14 year old Tahoes. I got my 02 about 5 years ago when it was 14 years old, and the going rate was about $6-8000. When did they start skyrocketing in price? At this rate I won't be able to afford to replace mine even if I wanted. (These are Canadian...

    2001 GMC Yukon small oil leak that I got checked

    Having done the rear main on mine and know the work involved, I would be leery of anyone charging $400 for the rear main. How careful will they be removing all the electrical connectors? Will they clean gasket surfaces properly before installing the new gaskets? 4WD will be more expensive...

    Took me several hours to clean. I guess I'm OCD.

    2002 5.3 intake manifold gasket replacement.

    Has your rear main seal been done yet? If not... have fun one day! :devilfinger: The rear main seal itself may actually be good, but the rear main cover often leaks badly. Unfortunately, you have to tear things apart just as much to replace it. Don't ask how I know!

    2002 5.3 intake manifold gasket replacement.

    I'd do the valley pan gasket too for sure, and perhaps the camshaft sensor. The reason I suggest the camshaft sensor is to replace the gasket. If you ever get an oil leak, you can be more confident that it is not coming from above if you replace those items.
