    Help me troubleshoot a vibration

    I just re-checked the u-joints and there does seem to be a small bit of play in the rear u-joint. But it does not seem to be enough play to make the clunking sound I heard. Installing a new u-joint is not too hard and probably should be done no matter what - if anything - else is wrong. No...

    Help me troubleshoot a vibration

    Thanks, Gunner, for your questions and help. I think I have this figured out... I pulled into my garage last night, put it in park and heard a clunk. Went from drive to reverse a couple of times and heard a definite clunking sound. Had my wife shift it from drive to reverse as I watched...

    No, this is a new vibration. It was not there when I serviced the trans and diff.

    Help me troubleshoot a vibration

    I replaced the trans fluid about 7,000 miles ago and it is at the proper level and smells and looks OK. No complaints with how the trans shifts. I also replaced the rear diff lube at about the same time. Level is OK, the leak is not dripping the floor yet, but has made the front of the diff...

    Help me troubleshoot a vibration

    2006 Tahoe, LT, ~200,000 miles. I get a high frequency vibration, like a buzz, right at 50 mph. I can feel it and hear it. It's like I'm driving on a road that has a slight corduroy surface. It's subtle, but I don't think these things get better with age and I'd like to track it down now...

    How much would YOU pay?

    I wouldn't worry about the mileage - it's all how the owner took care of the truck. I would not buy an '07. I know the '07 is a new model year for Tahoe's and I'm assuming the same for Escalades. I don't like a first model year, especially with anything complex as a Cadillac. Of the two, go...

    TPMS questions

    I think the closest Discount Tire is in Washington, about 2500 miles from me. ;) But there are several tire places around here that I'm sure will be able to do the job. Thanks again for the advice.

    TPMS questions

    Thanks guys, good advice, altho I didn't think of this option... Ha! Good thinking! I will get a new set of sensors and replace the ones in my "new" wheels...I'm planning to put winter tires on my old wheels and might as well leave those sensors in place. A quick check on Amazon had a set...

    TPMS questions

    I have an '06 Tahoe LT. About 8 months ago I purchased a set of nice wheels that came off a 2014 Silverado - a Craigslist find. About a month ago the "Check Tire Pressure" message came up on the DIC as well as the Tire Pressure warning light on the dash. All tires have appropriate pressure...

    You've got a great looking rig, you like it and you hate debt. Easy answer.... repair the head gasket and enjoy your ride!

    Brake rotor thickness

    Hmmmm, so according to your vid, slotted and drilled rotors look cool, but add no performance to your vehicle. OK, I've certainly bolted stuff on my truck that look cool and don't improve performance. And I thought brake dust was more a function of the brake pads rather than the rotors. If...

    Brake rotor thickness

    Thanks, yes i understand the info may be on the rotor, but i've got to believe there is a database of that information. I'd like to know before i take it to my brake guy. Like i said, if they are not "turnable" i'll just replace the rotors myself

    Brake rotor thickness

    So I'm starting to get some pulse in the brakes and want to find out the thickness specs for the brake rotors. Maybe my google'izer is not working properly, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding the specs. I want to know the minimum thickness the rotors can be to have them turned. If...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    What if you went into a dealership and negotiated a price assuming you will finance and then tell the finance guy that you've decided to pay cash? Would they adjust the price?

    EPIC 03 Tahoe road trip! 4500 miles

    We just drove our '06 Tahoe from Michigan to Alaska - 4600 miles. We've driven the Alaska Highway about 10 times and it's always a great trip. Lots of wildlife - brown and black bears, caribou, moose, bison, elk, fox, bobcats, wolves. We tend to drive fairly hard - 7 full 12 hour days of...

    Heater being weird - thoughts?

    Got my heater working properly and thought i'd add a post with the solution in case any one else has a similar problem in the future... I also need to admit my "dumbassness". The coolant was low. I open the hood and look around, check the oil and so forth on a regular basis. The coolant tank...

    Bad water leak

    That's where your coolant goes into the heater core, which is located behind the dash. The fittings there are plastic and i just had to replace them in my '06.

    any other fun hobbies or interest?

    I brew my own beer. Recently moved from extract kits to all grain, so i'm in a bit of a learning curve right now. I currently bottle all my beer and the next big step is to set up a keg system.

    Hummer H2

    I was upgraded into one at a rental car company once and really did not like the Hummer. Big, ponderous feeling, bad mileage. The biggest thing i didn't like was the visibility out - small windows. Can't see the corners of the truck and backing and parking was a pain. Make sure you give it a...
