    2013 Chev Tahoe brake issue

    Replace front brake lines. They get spongy and lose their ability not to collapse on themselves.

    Awesomeness of the seats. That 2nd row three person couch is the only way to go.

    2wd to 4wd transmission

    Wait? Aamco trans is toast. They replaced and installed a new trans without giving you a “hold harmless” notification that you’re paying for a warranty trans, but we may change our mind on honoring the warranty because it doesn’t suit us? Your paperwork from Aamco is a very powerful contract...

    Issue at a gas station

    You’re right. The NBS / 01-06 trucks use a similar carbon canister but a different part number. I’ve never seen issues with them like the NNBS / 07-14 have had.

    New 2007 Yukon XL Denali Owner looking for a service manual before tracking down oil leaks

    You got the golden ticket. That’s clean, clean for 200k. Next to no carbon build up. With these GM trucks the 2nd row, heated, 60/40, electric fold bench seat and captains chairs are interchangeable if you want a couch vs chairs. Factory BT controlled through the steering wheel and uses the now...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    Inner tie rods on the OEM hydraulic rack are unchanged. Fortunately GM only changed the outter tie rod pitch of the taper that fits into the aluminum knuckles. All other components are unchanged from OEM. Left & Right 2015 style outer tie rod ends use same part # on alum knucks (ES800948)...

    Need to know where to go now...

    These vehicles do not like led lamps. They confuse the ship out of the body control module and the 5v can bus system that rides in it. Can you make it work without permanently damaging the BCM? Who knows what’s installed and how they’re made? Undo the LED added and hopefully the truck will...

    Bluetooth problem

    Which model do iPhone are you using? Older iPhone are getting finicky. GM has what they call “hey Siri” installed in the VCIM / BT module. First, make the change on your iPhone to ditch hey siri and change it to just Siri. Once your phone is updated and it’s sync’d up to BT you can simply...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    The factory 22” rims & tires are about 88lb ea. Figured taking some of the mass off each corner could do nothing but help the poor 285/45/22 tires taking the load.

    New 2007 Yukon XL Denali Owner looking for a service manual before tracking down oil leaks

    Welcome from SoCal sleet. I went from 90’s vág (g60) to 06 YXL Denali to 02 6MT allroad and back to an 08 YXL Denali in the course of 15 years. You got a good hit on the 07 Denali. It’s a 3-400k truck and predictable. Everything is just 3x as heavy and 3x safer too. In a perfect world...

    Lost one, Found another

    I miss the mooses. Man, here in SoCal if someone spots a coyote it makes the prime time news. Wait, I take that back, there were packs of 2.5T seals climbing up on boats sunbathing in Newport Beach and sinking them. Glad we don’t have those things blubbering around on the highways.

    Seat stuck in reclined position

    Literally two steps forward, one step back. GM needs to add this one to their trouble bulletins. Step one would be to direct the service tech to insert the CD with the Benny Hill theme song and play it while adjusting the seat.

    Lost one, Found another

    Bummer. That’ll scare the shìt out you. I’m sure the Insurance adjuster has already given the write off to his buddy whose buying the replacement parts for the damaged one right now. The old truck will probably show up at a CarMax here in Cali. They’ll have it all fixed up for $18k and sell in...

    2007 Escalade won’t shift into drive

    If brake pedal switch for brake lamps goes out it locks the shifter in P. Got brake lamps. If you can shift from P to drive than it’s likely the shifter cable on the side of the trans. They get re-repaired many times before there’s nothing left to repair. Here’s the OEM repair cable at its...

    Yup, the guy is a one man corporation family man. Same as a lot of our vendors and sponsors. The level of what he’s pulled off all by himself and manages to keep proprietary is mind boggling. I worked for a guy local to me for two years training, running point and setting up at confr rooms &...

    Aluminum / XFE NNBS Front Suspension Rebuild

    Nope, won’t bolt up. Essentially: Alum UCA = Alum Knuckles Steel UCA = Steel Knucks If your truck has steel Upper Control Arms it has steel knuckles. You’d have to swap in a set of aluminum knuckles to use alum UCA. GM set it up so only the lower control arms can be swapped from aluminum to...
