    1999 poor braking

    When was the last time fluid was flushed with new all the way around? What condition are the brake hoses/lines?

    2015 Tahoe/Grinding/rough noise from front of vehicle

    Unknown suspension condition

    Not necessarily. AC Delco has a couple different levels. OEM, Gold and Silver. Stay away from Silver. Be leery of Gold. Use OEM. RockAuto, Amazon or Arnott direct have all worked for me. Just depends who has what in stock when I needed it. Moog as various levels just like AC Delco. I...

    Unknown suspension condition

    They are close enough to OE quality for me, especially the Reman ones that are rebuilt OE units.

    Unknown suspension condition

    I have had good luck with Arnott Remans for the rear as well as the Arnott compressor. They are a little more affordable than the GM ones.

    Weird Electrical issues [plus other isssues] with wife’s 16 Tahoe

    I would start by checking your battery connections to make sure they are tight and corrosion free. I would also check all your cables to make sure they are in good condition and not all corroded up. Then I would check your ground cables for the same thing. These trucks hate bad grijndsna s...

    Delay from foot PEDAL

    Might also check your front differential mounts since it’s a AWD Denali.

    Would pulling a vacuum on the PCV side of the crankcase restore lost power from worn rings?

    You said the vacuum would decrease blow-by. I’m reading this article, it says that it helps evacuate the buildup of pressure caused by the blow-by. The theory makes a little more sense now. Thanks for sharing.

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

    Yeah….pretty much the only thing you gain with a different intake might be some more noise when you rev the motor, but there will be negligible, if any, HP gains. The OEM intake is a pretty good design.

    No problem. Looks like another case of RTFM to me. :emotions33:

    Pinging at WOT...

    From the owners manual for a 2005 Yukon Denali Guess GM expects it to do what you’re experiencing. Might try a higher octane rating and see what happens.

    Would pulling a vacuum on the PCV side of the crankcase restore lost power from worn rings?

    I think you’d be time and money ahead by installing the improved valve cover and keep your catch can in place between the PCV port and the intake. I may not be understanding what you said correctly, but I’m pretty sure the intake manifold is the only vacuum source on your vehicle so not sure...

    2000 Yukon

    Dors the noise change with RPM of motor or speed of vehicle? Can you replicate the noise while in park?

    Tahoe ppv wheels

    I wouldn’t hold your breath on a response. You quoted a 13 year old post made by a guy who hasn’t been on here for 2 years.

    Electrical or fan clutch

    I wouldn’t do it.

    Grinding Noise near rear driver-side

    I’m not 100% familiar with your generation of vehicle, but based on my experiences with AutoLevel in the 2007-2014 generation of vehicles, it sure sounds like a bad compressor. A common failure mode is the airbags get a leak and the compressor runs excessively to compensate and burns itself up...

    Grinding Noise near rear driver-side

    Does your Tahoe have AutoLevel? What you are describing sounds like the air compressor for the AutoLevel system pumping up the airbags in your rear shocks. If it’s making odd noises, it could be a sign that the compressor is starting to fail.

    Test drove a 2023 Tahoe/Lost front driver side wheel

    Move on. The Salesman is trying to save the sale and his commission and will say whatever he thinks will keep the sale from walking.
