    I've worked on cars from the '70's....... Try this...... Carefully, use the palm of your hand, and beat on your dash in different places , top to lower areas. It might just go away..... ( I bet, you think I'm kidding... :D

    '05 Yukon XL.... questioning my new Bilstien shocks

    About 6 months ago I replaced my front shocks ( due to mileage ) with a 'stock replacement' ..... Just recently, I'm hearing a squeak, in the "up-stroke", slowly over a speed bump, in my neighborhood. It sounds like the driver's side. I am thinking, it's my shock. Bilstien. Hmmm....

    Bluetooth Call Volume Issue / And. Auto Volume Issue?

    My '05 Yukon..... The phone call is barely loud enough...... I have to be sure my windows are closed, etc. I wish there was an adjustment for the volume, besides the radio on high and still barely loud enough.

    What is this?

    Something that fell down from the front engine area and parked onto the belly pan. That "belly pan" probably catches all kinds of stuff.

    This photo shows my PIAA ' bug lights ', mounted below my bumper. They still work, even when my 'old - sold ' 1988 C2500, was sold to a collector in Germany. Those little fog lights were installed in 1992. ( owner sent this pic, at a Germany " American car show ", 2 years ago.

    Long Haul with boat

    He was a 'guy's guy'..... didn't care about his fame. He LOVED to find ways to go faster. He was always a friend to everyone. After, I moved to Southern Cal. When I drove up to him, he gave me a ride in the turbine 48' , just as an excuse to take it out. ( he had a 1,500 gallon jet-A fuel...

    Front shock bottom mount ( replace rubber bushing ? )

    Nope..... the bushing is still there.... I don't know how difficult it is to remove. But honestly, I haven't noticed a problem as I drive.... the rubber is cracked, but the shock is well bolted to it. The rubber doesn't seem 'destroyed'...... just cracked.... Removing it..... as other...
