    Fuel vacuum hose

    So I assume the brittle plastic line broke? If you still have both ends just get a few inch long pice of vacuum hose from the local parts store and insert both broken ends into it. You want it to be a snug fit so get the right diameter and use some silicone spray to slip them together.

    Bad bad bad BAD misfire!

    I'm confused. The first quote states half are firing and half are intermittently firing yet they all firing (this would be bank 1). Your first post said you were misfiring on all of bank 2 (2,4,6,8) . Which cylinders have misfires counted by the ECM (the highest counts)? Which plugs wires...

    Oil cooler lines

    AWD you will have to drop the front differential down to remove/install the lines. You will NOT be able to do a quick job like a 2WD model. This means having the truck up on jackstands and then lowering the front differential down about 6 inches. Not easy on the ground. Expect 3+ hours if...

    Getting codes on My mom's 2004 Tahoe Z71

    Transfer case encoder motor if the motor doesn't even try to shift but more than likely the encoder motor position sensor inside of it. Many threads about it. Basically, if you have the skills, drop out the encoder motor, open it up and try installing the sensor yourself for the cheap fix...

    Transmission slips from 2nd to 3rd

    Didn't get a chance to sway to NOT replace the trans just yet but, you need scantool data, espescialy live date from the trans PIDS while shifting 2-3 and 3-4. You need a great engine drivability / trans guy. This you may not be able to figure out without putting gauges on the transmission.

    Spark Plug replacement

    Everything above. Do them but if youre gonna do it you might as well replace the 100K mile wires too. Theyre pretty cheap and you're already there.

    transmission replacement

    Extensions extensions extensions. Or ideally a 3 foot long 1/2" drive female to 3/8" drive male extension for the top two bell-housing bolts after you have removed the trans cross-member and lowered the tail of the trans down a bit. Not a tough job but the right tools make it easy.

    Brake pedal squeaking

    A squeaking brake pedal usually indicates a leak in the brake booster if it is a vacuum booster. A simple check would be to start the truck up and let it warm up to operating temp (5-10 minutes). Then take a pair of needle-nose pliers and pinch off the brake booster hose that runs to the brake...

    ForScan like GM software for the ELM327

    Does anybody make a ForScan (http://forscan.org/) level scan tool for GM vehicles for use with the ELM 327 variants? The ForScan software works perfectly fine with my ELM327 and is pretty close to a full on Ford OEM Scantool (id say 85%close and works on Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Mazda). I actually...

    2001 yukon denali abs light

    Need ABS Code(s). First thing to check is all the ABS sensor wires at each wheel and make sure you didn't break them in the process of lowering it. IF heat was used (a torch) near the sensors or sensor wires, that could also cause a fault. If you disconnected the sensor wires, make sure each...

    Maintenance at quarter million?

    P0442 AND resistance to fueling is 99% of the time a bad canister vent solenoid. P0442 itself is 99% bad gas cap. These contradict eachother as the "hard to fill" symptom indicates a vent solenoid stuck closed where a P0442 code indicates a leak. IT may be that the solenoid failed open and...

    6.0 oil sludge

    Clean out the pan and pick-up tube. Replace the o-ring on the pick up tube. Fill it up with oil and add some kind of Flush to it (I use BG). Run it for 4-5 minutes (IDLE) and drain it. Fill it back up with oil and run it again for another 5 to 10 minutes. Check oil pressure with a manual...

    Rear axles.

    Just make sure they have the same gear ratios and mounting brackets and you'll be fine. Probably just a casting number or lot number.
