    It's in Boat Talk.... ( tomorrow I'll post in here) 2 months ago we had a race. This twin-turbine boat ran over a big piece of debris... They were thinking the hull may be to damaged to repair..... I used some of my sarcasm, to suggest a "plan B".... ( I needed the "pool-boat" pic.

    Front HVAC blower motor intermittent

    I tend to drive with my window open..... Sometimes the fan ( does what you mention).... It blows strong, then slows... strong again... I wonder if switching the 'vent' to .. interior only? I think that solves it ?

    2005 Yukon XL 5.3 Code P0496

    A few years ago, I spent $$ replacing everything in the rear..... I have a funny feeling the vent solenoid... may have been another issue..... I need to get it on a lift, to get underneath to clear the lines.

    New Torque convertor now ECM Wont Communicate

    I wonder if any company will design a replacement / upgrade swap....to double clutch transmissions, in a stock mountable housing?

    Want to take my 2010 Yukon XL Denali with 180,000 miles for a family trip from Michigan To Florida - Can you help me make this a success!

    If your transmission fluid is clean, don't wait for it to detonate.... All that metal stuff will contaminate everything.. lines, cooler , etc. ( not to mention the cost of a tow, if you're stuck on the freeway)

    New Torque convertor now ECM Wont Communicate

    I don't know if this helps.... A friend had a Chevy s10... The removal / replace of the torque converter required the transmission shop to do a 'GM required" learn procedure. Maybe a transmission shop may have some thoughts on this?

    " Off- road" shocks?? Seems a tad firm??

    Which shocks to buy?

    The self-leveling shocks are expensive. $300 to $600 each depending on your brand- version... The Nivomats I purchased from Truckee Salvage was about $360.00 for the pair. Over 1/2 the price for new- unused. But if you are not going to haul a heavy trailer, I don't see the need for Nivomats.

    Which shocks to buy?

    A good guy.... ( Truckee Salvage) Has been finding & selling very good / used shocks for years. He sent me a set of Nivimats . But I later discovered I don't have Nivomats ( due to my confused searches)... I will be returning them back to him.

    Adding Rear Sway Bars

    Not very secure for a 30 pound bar. The end of the box was completely torn open with the bar partially exposed. A thin strip of wood would secure the ends.... But what the heck...

    Adding Rear Sway Bars

    I put Hellwigs on my rear, a couple months ago.... Going to get the front.... I did talk to them.. Very helpful. Tell them to MAKE SURE THE BAR IS PROPERLY BOXED.... Mine almost fell out upon receiving it. Good bars.

    Which shocks to buy?

    I still have the OEM stickers on the springs. Matched for the " ZW7 - Premium shocks" NOT self leveling, so the springs are a tad stiffer, than the 'self adjusting' shocks. ( self-adjusting shocks support more, requiring a softer spring) My shocks are the OEM 'blue' color. They just have...

    Which shocks to buy?

    From what I gather..... the ZW7 / G65 ' manual self leveling" ( Nivomat) ... SHOULD be described as the "tow package" ? Since a heavier weight use, requires the leveling needs....( along with the air-assist G69 package) CONFUSING descriptions: and the list is in front of your eyes.

    Which shocks to buy?

    The confusing subject..... " Premium Smooth Ride" / ZW7 - code.... GM made different versions. The additional RPO code, or NO additional code, determines which VERSION of the "Premium Smooth Ride" shocks and SPRINGS you have.
