    Yes, I have seen and like those. I do like the version without the twist better though.

    18" Replacement Wheels Suggestions

    Looking to replace our 2008 Tahoe Z71 wheels that are losing their finish, oxidizing and have developed slow leaks. I've seen "take-offs" from other years on Ebay but they seem to come and go and not sure of those dealers. I prefer not chrome and easily cleaned so no bolts/screws around the...

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    All set. A bit of blind work getting the connector out of the frame near the shock and the sensors were reluctant both coming out and going in but luckily that was a simple solution. Happily not the ring on the axle.

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    The harness connector appears to be plugged in. I wiggled it a bit. I did find that the mounting tab on the sensor at the axle tube is broken and the torx screw was easy to turn so I am presuming they removed or tried to remove the sensor. It has never been out before. I only did a cursory...

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    Yes, they changed the bearings. How is the VSES reluctor changed if needed? My error does states an issue with the "speed sensor circuit" so I guess the easist first step is to swap out the sensor and wire assembly.

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    Right you are. Fixed my cruise but not the ABS warning. Looks like the left rear speed circuit has a fault. Wish the spare tire was out of the way.Wrestling that thing is not back friendly.

    Will a bad brake switch on the brake pedal affect the ABS?

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    Ok, so I found two codes myself. I have no idea how the mechanic came up with a grocery list of codes but all I got was the two. One is about "Brake switch high voltage" and the other is "Left rear wheel speed sensor circuit". I suspected an issue with the brake switch because the cruise control...

    Error Codes and Warning Lights After Rear Differential Rebuild

    Just picked up our '08 Tahoe (4wd Z71) after a rear differential rebuild and I have new ABS and Stabilitrac warning lights and the mechanic said he got C0245, C0035, C004 and C0045 error codes on his scanner. Those things appear to be about both front and one rear wheel speed sensor faults and...

    4x4 Beach Driving

    Add a square 18"x 18" of 3/4" plywood on your list to put you jack on. That's from the state of RI beach driving requirements and the OBX sand is a piece of cake compared to RI where the sand behind the dune seems like powder. Our tires were sunk in up to the rims while traveling their sand...

    4x4 Beach Driving

    It was just part of the experience for us. The thrill of having the beach to ourselves was worth anything. we were there on one trip when they were moving the Hatteras light house due to erosion, and we asked the ranger on hand if the area was a good place to buy a house. His answer was "it...

    Driveshaft Universal Joint Routine Replacement?

    I am getting the impression that they don't easily go bad.

    Driveshaft Universal Joint Routine Replacement?

    Maybe I'll add, if it's apart for other work, should they be changed as a matter of fact since the driveshaft is disconnected anyways?

    4x4 Beach Driving

    Robgreg, That's way too much population for the reasons we went to Hatteras. There were times when the next vehicle was on the horizon.

    Break-In Procedure on Differential Rebuild

    Having our differential rebuilt, all new guts replacing G80 locker, gears, etc. If required, what is the break-in procedure?

    Driveshaft Universal Joint Routine Replacement?

    Pushing about 110,000 miles, most for any vehicle owned so the question is are universal joints routinely replaced as a matter of maintenance before failure?

    4x4 Beach Driving

    Never had any problem with either Tahoe or any Jeeps. Smoother tread tires are more suitable. It used to be the last frontier but the last time we went, after the Park service lost a lawsuit to the Audubon Society, there were many beach closings due to bird habitat (and it changed daily) and...

    What is the average dealership markup for a 2022 Yukon Denali? Just got quoted $10k markup

    I remember being at a dealer that tried that stunt with "yellow" C5 corvettes. Five-thousand for a particular color? Simple solution was to go down the road to a dealer that actually wanted the business. I always remember that dealers are independent and not General Motors so they get to do...

    Gas prices making anyone reconsider?

    When I bought my 2008 Tahoe (new) gas was just about what it is now. The difference is that I ordered my Z71 and paid $10k under invoice. Still driving it and have no aspirations to let it go before it falls apart.

    2021 Tahoe engine noise - knocking sound

    I have had many vehicles including motorbikes with piston slap and that's not it. It does sound like our subaru when the air conditioner compressor clutch turns on and off, and it does it several times like that sound you have. Might be worth a listen. If it is, maybe it's something odd going on...

    Nitrogen filled tires

    I scoff at the nay sayers that don't have first hand experience. Nitrogen has been a good thing for me. Our '08 wheels were becoming an issue with slow leaks. My tire dealer fixed them twice for no charge and the problem just came back 6 months later each time. I had the choice of replacing the...

    Pulled the trigger on a used 2022 High Country today!

    WE built our house. We didn't have one built. Even when I was charging $140 and hour for my time spending that much seems inconceivable. Hope it treats you well.

    Once your car is delivered to the dealer, when do they typically have you come by to sign and then leave with your new car?

    Around here we just need an insurance card for the vehicle and a pile of money. I see that the pile now might need a wheel barrow to keep from further harm to oneself.
