    Cruise Control Just started turning off by itself...

    Driving home the other day, I stopped for gas. The cruise was working fine. When I got back on the road, cruise control engaged fine...for about 10 seconds. The light went out. I hit resume, and it would for another 10-30 seconds and then the same. Turned it off/on. No change...

    My tired 6.0

    Ok, first why are you rebuilding? How many miles? This engine typically goes 450k no problem. Compression test? Before we can start throwing crap at you, we need to know a little bit more than that. My wife is tired too, but she still won't let me rebuild her...

    01 Yukon Denali Getting Hot

    I have known Eric personally for a long time. After the economy crashed in 2008, we had friends who could not afford to fix their Honda, Head Gasket. He taught me the trick of stuffing the inter tube into the cylinder when you loosen the fly wheel. That is why I asked if you had a laser temp...

    Brake bleed issue

    Ok, so now you have opened up Pandora's box. Here is what most Yuki and Subby owners do not know. Normally you can just pump the brakes too bleed. Nope, not with GM. Problem is with the ABS module. One of the channels has to be activated. Whoops, no one told me that. If you go to All...

    01 Yukon Denali Getting Hot

    Ahhhh....did you pressure test this yet? Always a first step. Second, Do you have a laser heat gun? $10 bucks at Harbor Freight. This is the easiest and fastest way to rule out Water pump and Radiator. We know your thermostat works, so....follow the heat. Usually Water pump will leak or...

    Transmission not shifting real great 2004 Yukon XL Denali

    Jeremy, Glad this has been cleaned up...this thing is all over the place. I am confused. Some things you need to know and questions that maybe were asked that I missed. 1. The weakest point of these trucks are the tranny's, both the 4L60 and 4L65E. With that said, you doh't fix these. If...

    My 2005 Yukon Denali XL only tow's 7,900 compared to my 5.3 which is 8600?

    Well, I just put new brakes on it from R1 Concepts. Saw others did too. Went with the R1 Carbon Series Rotors. Put the Heavy Duty Towing pads on. However, somehow I ended up with both slotted and drilled. Should have only gotten the slotted, Carbon Rotors with the slots should handle the...

    My 2005 Yukon Denali XL only tow's 7,900 compared to my 5.3 which is 8600?

    You have some interesting points. Have completed the trip, interestingly, tranny fluid still looks good. Temp certainly was higher, but nothing abnormal. as far as oil cooler, do they sell bigger coolers compared to stock? This thing is a ***** to stop. I went with a commercial set-up for...

    My 2005 Yukon Denali XL only tow's 7,900 compared to my 5.3 which is 8600?

    Yes, so is the towing based on gross weight?

    My 2005 Yukon Denali XL only tow's 7,900 compared to my 5.3 which is 8600?

    I am in a pickle. I have a 2000 GMC Yuki XL with the 5,3 that is rated at 8,600 lbs for towing. I bought a new boat, and I instead took the 2005 Yuki XL Denali with the 6.0, drove 9 hours to North Carolina only to discover I now have problem. You would think that with the bigger engine I...

    So I turn right..and my feet are soaked!

    Yup, it's true. The heat is back, global warming is alive and well which means more boating. In my 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL, when I take a sharp right, my feet get soaked. I also think I hear the actuary motor, the one below the dash moving the vents, but I could also be losing it. I have...

    P0300 ,

    For MAF cleaner, read the directions...carefully or you will be buying another one. Second, take carb cleaner, shoot it at the gaskets, if they are leaking you will know. It's a PITA elimination project.

    4x4 started binding

    Ahhh...think we might need a little bit more information..like, what are you in, 2WD, Auto, 4WD? Unless it's snowing in Niagara Falls, and the roads are slick, you need to be in 2wd. Are you sure you are in 2WD and you are binding? Way to tell is put it into 4WD, you will here it lock in...

    Traction active/check engine light

    Yup, classic symptoms. Complete stop, you start and TC goes active. Hint: Put new hubs on instead. Shop around, bought my from 1 A Auto , it was like $30 bucks more, includes the new sensor, and you just took care of your bearings.

    Catalytic Converter replacement

    First, GM designs these to last the life of the vehicle. Does not mean they can't fail. I thought the CAT was bad on my SLT, I took it to a muffler speed shop. Why? They tested it. Turns out it was fine, and was a simple fix. Also a good speed shop is going to cut it out and drop a new one...

    AWD Broken?

    So, not that you have been ***** slapped pretty good :-) Let's back to the Truck. If you AWD was not functioning, you would know, you would have codes and really bad noises. With that said, here is the problem with 4WD/AWD. I grew up in Snow Country, and it does not change. AWD/4WD only...

    will a 2002 gmc yukon transmission fit my 2004 gmc yukon? both are 5.3, 2 whel drive

    Nooooooooo!!!! There is a change in 2004. Yes, 4l60E, but the website is correct. There are whole slew of changes in 2004 that does not meet the eye. You have to do a VIN check, but I wanted to move my new Tranny from 2000 to my 2004. Should have been a piece of cake. Worked on a 2003, not...

    New to the forum & question

    First if your scanner does not have ABS on it, you are not going to be able to pull ABS codes. Take it to Autozone, or one of those guys, they have ABS on it. Also, you are pulling from different modules or computers, so your scanner has to have that ability. Most out there only pull form...

    ABS pump and Module replacement 2001 Tahoe New or used

    Ok, so why do you say that it needs to be replaced? Usually only the module goes. Do not buy one, have yours rebuilt. Google ABS Module rebuild. I use the guys out of Moscow Idaho. They send it back with a life time guarantee. The pumps are pretty generic, and if you do this, you have to...

    BYE 5.3, HELLO 6.0

    Did you put the MagnaFlo in? I have a 12x24 with a Resonator. I especially like the Volant on the highway, cheap super charger! Now I just need a snorkel. You never know when you need one...

    Front Differential Housing Tube on AWD 6.0 slight...ok major problem

    Well, I noticed some drippings in the driveway the other day. They were not from the birds. Looked under, and saw some wet drips from the front diff. Not unusual, the seals always leak, and putting in new ones makes them leak more. So since I got this one in August, I needed to change the...
