    New To Me 98 Tahoe, Green

    Or again yesterday. How can it only leak or go flat so rarely? Penetrated object wiggling and sometimes sealing? Valve stem intermittent?

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Cranked it up, pulled out of the garage and hooked up the trailer for a dump run tomorrow. First crank, got the starter free spin again. Second time that happened. Cranked it again and it caught fine and started easily. Starter failing, or not unusual?

    Bolt In Roller Pins -- Cunningham Machine

    Developed a squeak somewhere. Not sure which point. I hit 'em all with spray lube just in case.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    Could this stuff have somehow gotten turned off or altered in programming if the PCM was affected? Both the DRLs and the Interior Courtesy Lights?

    Bolt In Roller Pins -- Cunningham Machine

    Fine so far. Haven't noticed any problems. Driver's door has probably only been opened a couple of hundred times total though. Passenger door a lot less.

    Checked again today, so sign of air loss.

    New To Me 98 Tahoe, Green

    So, I aired the tire up .... ... and let it sit for two days. No sign of air loss again. Drove it 60-70 miles into town and back. It's been sitting for another couple of days. Still no sign of air loss. ???? ---- And the code referenced above is P 0442.

    Headlight restoration

    I did new ones too. I went with what I call Disco Balls, where the inner back surface is more like a crystal effect instead of a smooth mirror. Not sure if they're available for later years. .

    ^^ Code is P201, P204? ( I forget now) something about a small vacuum leak. They reset it and no light for weeks, but it comes back eventually. ---------------- Turned the key this morning ... starter spun free, not engaged. Never did that before. Second try, it engaged and started fine.

    Your Vehicles as they sit now....

    Stern has a slight list to starboard. That's about as flat as a tire can get. Not fun. Aired it up and will see how long it holds. Hopefully I'll be able to drive it to a shop because I really don't want to deal with it here. The two fronts are low too, but nothing like that. Not...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Drove it for the first time in a month. Rode smooth for the most part, some minor vibration at certain speeds. Gets up to 80- far too easily. Didn't even notice a couple of times and had to back off some. Temp never got above about 160-170, but air temp was in the 40s. Volt meter stayed...

    Tick-tick on start up after going Synthetic

    No idea. Didn't notice at first startup this trip, but driving was generally around 40 on the gauge.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    I've checked them a few times in recent days and they worked. Checked this morning before I headed out and they worked. But sometime during the day, they stopped. Beginning to wonder if that diode block is failing.

    Gap at top of lift gate

    "for the up and down gap you will have to bend the mounting hinge of gate or put in body shims." If that's the case, this sounds like a shop job where they have a jig to support the glass. That glass can't be light in weight and is most likely very expensive IF you can find them. Not...

    Make DRL Turn On With Parking Lights

    Is there a reason not to go fully separate? 12V to a relay that only comes on with IGN in Run. The relay switches hot 12V to the lights. They should be on anytime the vehicle is running no matter what the other lights are doing. Option to add a switch to disable them if desired.

    Tick-tick on start up after going Synthetic

    I may have asked this question before, can't remember. 5 liter gasser, 190+ K Shortly after I got this, I had a oil and filter change and went to 5W30 full synthetic. On first morning start up, I hear a pronounced tick-tick-tick, for a short time until the engine warms up. It doesn't last...

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    Pulled it out of the garage today to check something else. Checked the front just in case and yup, DRLs are lit. Must be haunted.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    No progress, no change, but I haven't been feeling well, so haven't really spent much time chasing it. But I got to wondering if it might be related to this somehow: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/why-are-my-interior-lights-on.144764/ Is there anything in common? Those light have...

    Not Really News, Bigger Vehicles Are More Dangerous

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    I don't know if mine is older or newer. I'm guessing my 5 is their 87. Like I said, I'm not really sure I care about the DRLs as such, but I'd like to know why they quit and if it might be an indication of something else coming.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    Brake switch is an open leaf where I can see both contacts and that appears to be working. I have power at Fuse 15 with key on or not. Power full time. Gauges all work normally, so 4 is unlikely. Relay has a 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, no 87.

    What year do I want ?

    My total gas cost so far in '23 is just over $500. Not savings, total purchases for two vehicles and a couple lawn mowers.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    I don't watch videos of any kind, anywhere. I haven't even watched TV in close to 10 years. Something about the motion on the new digital screens bothers my eyes. Too sharp, too much jumping around, whatever it is. Now if someone would care to type out something to look for, or point to a...

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    I have ALL forms of videos blocked at multiple levels. Words work fine.
