    Timing Chain Cover Replacement

    If I were in your shoes, I would let sleeping dogs lie and just replace the leaking seal and maybe the VVT solenoid but *do* inspect the timing chain tensioner while you're in there for any wear or cracks in the plastic guides. If you have to change it though, you're gonna have to drop the oil...

    NVG149 Conversion

    Maybe someone here will know differently, but AFAIK, it's not possible to convert it to passenger-side drop. Might be worth a call to offroaddesign.com to talk about options.

    2011 Denali, no crank, has power, new starter - SOLVED

    Another common cause is internal corrosion in the battery cables. They look fine from the outside but have high internal resistance as a result. Search Big 3 upgrade here for the parts and smarts needed to fix. I've also seen rare cases of ignition switches failing with the same symptoms. I'd...

    Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown

    Good thought. The fans were running like that on my 2012 so I replaced the coolant sensor with a genuine GM from Rock Auto, even though the gauge was reading correctly. Problem solved. He may have gotten a counterfeit sensor, or they sometimes ship with the pigtail and connector because they're...

    Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown

    In addition, I'm pretty sure that you can see the A/C system pressure during operation with a Tech2 or equivelent. Yes?

    Here's a wiring diagram from a 2012 Yukon XL Denali that should be substantially similar:

    Cooling fans coming on max after cold engine start, stays on till engine shutdown

    I'll try to find a flow chart for the factors impacting cooling fan speed on these. Pretty sure Alldata has one. Stay tuned.

    Towing

    Maybe so. But good knowledge of why the vehicle’s engineers set the towing parameters where they did, combined with good engineering knowledge and practice, can produce a modified vehicle capable of safely towing more than the original rated capacity. Keep in mind that the same frame and...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yup. I believe it's the 2012+ Denalis that have Hill Start Assist (HSA).

    Need opinions on keeping or moving on.

    It's almost always less expensive in the long run to repair an older vehicle that you've cared for than to buy a new one, if you can do the work yourself. If it's in good cosmetic shape and still meets your mission requirements, then the smart money is on repairing. Especially because yours is...

    Towing with 2021 Yukon Denali non-Max towing package

    I believe the only thing the max towing adds is the 'enhanced cooling radiator' for an extra 500 lbs of towing capacity. No idea what that is, exactly, because while the radiators have different part numbers, all of their physical dimensions and specs are the same. My guess is the difference...

    Engine and gearbox swap from four speed to six or eight speed on 2008 Z71 ?

    Really, really cool to see. Our transmissions are enjoying peak aftermarket support, which benefits us in numerous ways.

    5.3 engine tick ONLY in Drive/Reverse

    Thought of that but it's too irregular and I had the EXACT same sound on my 2007. It was the starter. Common problem on these.

    5.3 engine tick ONLY in Drive/Reverse

    It's in my post. The return spring fails and lets the drive gear tink against the flywheel. Yes. I'm betting it would solve the problem. If you can get a video from the pax side it would help confirm.

    5.3 engine tick ONLY in Drive/Reverse

    That's either your starter or a cracked flex plate. On the starters the return spring fails and lets it tink against the flywheel. But it's louder on the pax side. When the flex plate cracks you get a similar sound but it's louder. I'm betting on the starter.

    5.3 engine tick ONLY in Drive/Reverse

    You're in the 2007-2014 section so you might get better info in the previous gen section. That said, record a video on your phone, upload it to YouTube with public permissions and link it back here. We'll help you figure it out.
