    2013 YukonXL 2 speed Transfer case change to 1 spd

    Welcome from SoCal I usually see owners swap’g the Denali & Esky AWD xfer case to the single or 2 speed cases. Yes, it can be done. Obviously this isn’t exactly what you’re looking to do but it will have info and pics on what you’re getting into. Keep in mind if you change the ratio in the...

    2010 Escalade seat Heater module.

    Welcome from SoCal, Lucky you, last year GM did True Chilled seats vs Recirc Air. I’d seen they did look very, very similar and at 1/2 the cost. Both made in Mexico. Ford… GM …

    2021 PPV Front Brakes on 2013 Escalade ESV, and rear brake overhaul

    Good question about fitting the 21-Present knuckles, arms and ball joints to our 07-14 trucks. Good pic you referenced on the 21+ aluminum control arm not fitting a 15-20 aluminum knuckle. To make it more Kra-Kray you have to remember this is in regard to fitting only 15-20 aluminum suspension...

    $18K Repair on 2010 Burb? Yup, it made sense.

    I’m sure GM is reading that article and hoping it gets mothballed. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10210348-9999.pdf Ever since they switched from global architecture A to B, no modules on these trucks are cross compatible after 2015 without some major software hacking. I’m...

    $18K Repair on 2010 Burb? Yup, it made sense.

    For those of you who were unsure about replacing your motor and/or trans. Makes you wonder if implanting that 6.2L with AFM deleted might actually sound good to the wife. https://apple.news/AQ9i5PShWQnGdIRcZWEtsMQ

    p1153 even with 2 OEM o2 sensors

    On my 09 I’ve got 4 new ac Delco o2 sensors plus all new injectors, new gaskets on lifter valley, intake and exhaust manifold. New map is next but haven’t checked into all grounds yet.

    New Suspension creaks and squeaks

    It all depends on what and where the poly bushes were used. You may have to pull a part for proof of lube and take back for more or a better bet have another shop eye it and redo it. Make 1st shop pay for 2nd shops work with a credit card dispute.

    3-Hour Battery change

    After my 06 YXL Denali I vowed never to buy another GM product. In ‘14 I got an 08 YXL Denali just to make sure I wasn’t mistaken about my decision. The ‘08 Denali was the final straw. I sold that off and got an 09 Esky ESV Platinum in ‘20. The Esky is fast approaching 180k clicks. The Esky...

    Wireless cell phone charger for Tahoe.

    GM couldn’t get it right with the factory version.

    Must be a good sign?

    I would love to cruz over to my neighbors house in your truck at 3am and play Rawhide a few times at a perfect volume. Two kids that live there leave our neighborhood everyday in 1st gear, with bypassed exhaust up to 6k rpm.

    Tired front struts, already replaced the rear with Bilsteins (not available for the front)

    I was wondering the same thing. Bilstein doesn’t have a kit for GM that allows a replacement cartridge to slide into the original strut like the German vehicles use.

    Obnoxious stickers on sun visors

    Is it the '22 Duramax SLT Yukon? Google “leather visor cover” If you want a really clean look call a local upholstery shop for options as they may be able to have you leave the visors with them and exceed your expectations. I’d have the upholstery shop do it because of the glue they use will...

    Lurking no longer, now a PPV owner

    Welcome from SoCal. Nice ride! 07-14 never got cabin air filters. You can add one and make the initial filter carbon impregnated for about $50. It’ll knock down any lingering musty or K9 remnants https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=6350799&cc=1505385&pt=50209&jsn=523 Have fun with all...

    Oil pressure low

    If you overfill the oil after the motor is warmed up at idle and the pressure goes up by 5/10lb you can verify if the O ring on the oil pump is bleeding air into the system or … replace the O ring, it’s bad. Be sure to drain extra oil out b4 u drive it. You could also swap out the oil pump and...

    Tahoe LTZ chrome wheels - nasty marks - help needed

    By the look of the clean caliper and the blem being on just one side of the rim I’d say someone used something caustic sprayed through the spokes in an attempt to clean the caliper. It worked, but at the price of damaging the clear on the rim. Costco used to spray the wheels with cleaner in...

    Lug nut size for fitting under center caps?

    GM has those plastic lug nuts that screw on to the real lug nuts on my daughter’s 01 s10 pick up truck for securing the center caps. My wife was cracking up at a AAA battery & tire repair guy that came out for a flat on her VW beetle. He kept saying it’s so weird they use plastic lug nuts and...

    OK, Bought a 07 with a couple problems today.

    Your hunch on the exh man bolts is correct. On our 08 YXL Denali had 2 break off deep on the block. My Indi tech buddy spent almost 5 hours extracting them. We joked they must have been locktite’d but pretty sure GM had a bad batch of studs on the early motors. It’s definitely worth adding...

    OK, Bought a 07 with a couple problems today.

    GM spent millions to figure out a way to make replacing the heat shield impossible during a motor mount swap. It ensures they sell more motor mounts.

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    All the stuff on the R/A list, except the z95 & tpms sensor.

    Replacement autoride strut coil spring assembly

    There’s no fully loaded OEM strut for the 07-14 z55 / z95 anymore. Worth it’s weight in gold to buy the OEM parts a la carte. On a few boots and goodies I did MOOG & aftermarket. MOOG has replacement springs on R/A right now. Your current springs should be ok. Save them as they’re NLA if you...

    Lug nuts??

    Hmm, drums in back. Do the early NNBS have drums or is it a thing they did on lighter optioned full size SUV?

    Passenger front door problems

    That’s one crispy harness. I’d say repair it PepBoy’s style and get the ultimate fix out of the tool box … There’s one for every color of wire and if you’re careful you can even paint the white stripes on the wires.
