    2008 Tahoe vents blowing bubbles while in carwash!

    No, the evaporator box in your dash has a drain in the bottom to let out any water that enters, and, more importantly, the condensation from the a/c. That’s why car air conditioning always drips water under the passenger firewall. If your vehicle has rear air it will drip behind the RR wheel too.

    Tranny Fluid Flush?

    No. That’s my opinion. A new filter and new fluid is the way to go, and any tech or DIY mechanic worthy of the name knows how to purge the remaining old fluid out the cooling lines. Flush machines are a solution in search of a problem. Or more accurately, potentially creating problems.

    2008 Tahoe vents blowing bubbles while in carwash!

    I always turn off the engine and HVAC in a car wash. There’s too many options for aerosol high pressure soaps to go where they’re not wanted, like the engine airbox and the cabin air intake. If you don’t want to do that, you can use recirculate on the HVAC which closes off the air intake.

    Torque steer

    Inspect all the steering and front suspension joints. Test with pressure using a crowbar. Could be anything in this group that’s moving and throwing out the alignment under torque.

    No more Duramax???

    Lifted Caddy throws me around over bumps, uneven roads,

    What you describe is pretty much normal for any lifted vehicle, or any stock vehicle with a high seating position. Geometry: the farther up you go, the more side to side distance your seat travels for each degree of roll. Stiff anti-roll bars can make this felt even more because the motion in...

    08 Tahoe alignment question! Need help

    Alignment will fix all of that. With a few simple tools it’s possible to do a fairly precise alignment in your garage or driveway, but since you’re headed to the alignment shop anyway, I wouldn’t bother with adjusting it at home.

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

    What’s wrong with this picture? This a first for me; a multicolored pair of forceps in the tire. And yes, they went all the way through. What’s the strangest thing you’ve had in a tire?

    Factory Air box for sale?

    Junkyard should have one. I would expect a Silverado to be the same part too, but you might want to confirm.

    2004 Yukon XL transmission slipping - should I replace both engine and trans?

    Welcome! If it were me, I’d ask myself if I liked the vehicle enough to spend more on maintenance than it’s worth. There’s a lengthy thread running right now by someone who paid for a transmission rebuild that ended badly. My opinion is a cheaper transmission repair and a lot of the...

    Mildew smell from A/C first couple minutes

    There are coil cleaning sprays that can be applied to the evaporator coils. Getting to the coils is the difficult part. You can also rent ozone generators and use one to sterilize the entire interior of the vehicle; that’s what car dealers do. I’ve seen them on Amazon.

    Intermittent shut down issue

    Keep a spark tester and fuel pressure gauge in the truck at all times so you’ll be ready to isolate which system is failing. When my fuel pump was acting up I just duct taped the gage to the windshield where I could see it and drove it that way a couple of days.

    Trans filter change or not: high-mileage 2010 Yukon Denali

    My opinion it is an old wives tale that fluid or filter change damages old transmissions. Probably because so many people have done no maintenance until the tranny starts showing signs of failure, and THEN they do a fluid change and say a prayer. When it fails they blame the new fluid, when...

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

    That’s a possibility I hadn’t considered, but I don’t think so. I believe the code takes a certain number of start cycles to set, and it’s only taking a couple of days as much driving as I’m doing. And it did not present for a long time after the fuel pump replacement. I read somewhere before...

    Hidden wench on a 2017 tahoe

    Brings a whole new concept to “Rough Country”. It may have something to do with ropes or chains.

    Newbie 4WD question

    The G80 is a decent locker. It’s RPM sensitive, when the wheel speed difference is great enough it locks. Hard and abruptly. So it’s better for slick surfaces than rock crawling. There is a document by GM I’ve seen posted on here with precise descriptions of exactly how it works. Maybe you can...

    Hidden wench on a 2017 tahoe

    Please elaborate on what sort of vehicle p-o-r-n it is you wish to install. Big Brother has blitzed your post. Is it a W-ench? A football wide R-eceever? Or some other item that inflames tender consciousnesses?

    Bad language was used. I get irritable when a NEW problem presents before I can get the PREVIOUS one repaired.

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

    Sounds familiar. I used a coin wash yesterday before getting my oil changed. Not the topside, I only washed the underside. :Big Laugh: Partly because I’m a nice guy, but mainly to reduce the possibility the oil change tech would get dirt in my new filter.

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

    Took the Hoe to a local shop for an oil change today (I do my own at home but we’re on a road trip). As I write this there’s four guys under the Hoe :dogpile: I don’t know if it’s a training session, or if they’ve never seen a lifted Tahoe before… Hopefully not discussing what they just broke...

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

    Has anyone any experience with GM’s warranty on parts? Two months ago I had a dealer on the east coast replace a window regulator RF door. Now that I’m on the opposite side of the country it’s dragging and needs help to close, just like before. Just wondering what the response will be when I...
