    08 Tahoe Vibration - SOLVED

    If the vehicle was off the ground, their’d be no load on the drive train or suspension. You’d never hear a sound driving through the perfect road of thin air.

    SOLVED: ESC - Magnaride default values, Adjustable?

    Again, glad 1AA worked out for you. I could post all day long about how 1AA ghosts buyers and offers a lifetime warranty that will never be honored. If the above parts are shipped free for $1,089.90, considering the weight, that’s $175 in shipping. Figure they’re charging customers $914.90 less...

    SOLVED: ESC - Magnaride default values, Adjustable?

    It is common to see users on the forum making their first post touting the z95 “like” priced “too good to be true” strut kits. There are warnings on these forums to “Beware of Scams” Nowhere does it state how or what the “replacement for z95 struts are made of, where or how”. There was another...

    Does suspension grease expire?

    Grease will expire or go bad. Temp extremes, moisture or atmospheric contamination can make it break down. If it’s been covered and out of the sun it should be fine.

    Grinding noise in 1st gear - 2007 Denali

    Good description! I hope it’s a wheel bearing. Grinding like you’re describing should be pretty easy to find once it’s on a lift as previously recommended. Looks like the other member is having same issue at same time. Post in thread 'Grinding Noise Accelerating from Stop'...

    Purchased a 2007 Yukon XL, now to make it reliable!

    Welcome from SoCal. Nice pick on the ultimate land yacht. Is it a Denali, 2WD or 4WD 5.3L? You’re on the right track with replacing the fluids. Buy a new carbon canister for the fuel evap system asap. They leak pellets into system and it demands about 2-$3k in parts & labor to rid them. A...

    Issue at a gas station

    These trucks are of the age that the charcoal evap containers should have been replaced. They allow charcoal pellets into the fuel system which does all kinds of crazy stuff like you’re describing. Cross your fingers and swap it out. If it’s not leaking carbon pellets when you change it out...

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    Low fuel on (<3.8gal) goes really fast when using e85. Only ran out once. It was corn gas and I had hoped to avoid replacing the f/p after the carbon pellet contamination. Waiting 90 min for AAA to bring fuel sucks. That was the deciding factor to get a new f/p and pull the tank. Can not have...

    2013 Tahoe, Help Needed.Engine quits after key release from start position.

    Is there any back story to this occurring? Recent work on truck or other changes made? Tapped on fuel tank to verify fuel is present and gauge is working?

    Hard pull to the left when braking - means what?

    SS lines are great for safety, performance & security. I’ve only had one vehicle that just won’t quit lose an OEM rubber hose. The hose burst after 30 years normal use. It was a 91 Toyota Celica coupe. The rear circuit stopped the car and the warning light came on. In a full size SUV like ours...

    Rockauto part number for flywheel?

    Flywheel is usually referred to for manual trans. Flex plate bolts to torque converter on auto trans like your Denali. Here’s a heads up on labor involving parts in that area. If your tech is offering $600 for the flex plate, here’s the labor he’ll charge for other stuff in there if done...

    2007 Chevy Tahoe Evap system fix questions

    Welcome with your 5.3 Vortec ;). As stated, in the following order: * Charcoal canister * Evap purge valve * EGR @ motor * Pull, wipe out fuel tank, blow out fuel lines. The labor to pull & clean out tank makes it silly stupid not to replace fuel pump & sender. Don’t make common mistake of...

    Replace 31 gallon tank with 39 gallon tank from 2500 series Suburban?

    That’s how mine was when purchased in 2020. Accurate enough to get me through AZ desert with needing a 30 gal fill up at an oasis gas station. Then it slowly got worse as carbon pellets invaded the tank. With the pellets run out like a bad mouse infestation, I can cram almost 32 gal in the...

    Genuine Tech2 quick question

    That’s the key feature I couldn’t remember from that post. The fewer wires, the better. Yes, keying off the motor for any reason and having to go through the menu to reboot the tech2 again is a PITA. If you were in a screen you don’t remember how to get back to its a huge waste of time.

    2008 Chevrolet Tahoe gas keeps clicking off every few seconds.

    I started with the vapor vent valve and it got a little better. I did the rest as you did and it got a little better. Ultimately, pulling the tank and replacing the 11 year old fuel pump, sender, wiping all the pellets from the tank and blowing all the lines again cured the fueling issue. All...
