    Tahoe idle oil pressure

    Not as fancy as the Alldata online, but I did go out and get the PDF FSM from an Ebay seller. I have mine on my Google Drive. Maybe not as easy to navigate as Alldata, but I can have access to the manual for my model year if I need it. Sometimes it is nice to have diagrams in front of you when...

    Replaced crank position sensor, vehicle cranks but wont start

    If I have the luxury of time for an order to ship, I'll do RockAuto. Sometimes Ebay, if the seller is one of the manufacturers or at least a verified business. At least payments with PayPal can be disputed if things ever get ugly... If in more of a rush, NAPA or O'Reilly's online with local...

    2005 Yukon Denali TPMS

    The warning light is a TPMS warning? Being a Yukon... I would guess the compressor sound might be more likely to be for air ride suspension. Sure it is not a compressor trying to compensate for a leaky airbag or air shock?

    05 Yukon drivers side foot pedal adjustment, seat memory and heated seats don't work

    Check the ground wires that connect to the body mount bracket under the driver's side. It is in line with the front door hinge behind the rocker panel. Clean wire connectors, bolt and contact area on the chassis with a wire brush. Put back together and make sure the connection secure. If still...

    Question About Idler Arm

    I just got a quote for $1,005 for replacing a bad Pitman arm, idle control arm and one upper control arm with almost 3 hours labor and a wheel alignment. $800 seems high for just the Idle Control Arm replacement on yours. I can get all parts above from RA for about $250. That is with 2 UCA...

    Tahoe idle oil pressure

    That sounds dangerous to me. Rotation of the axles could melt or break the bungee, wrap around the shaft or do other collateral damage as it whips around the engine bay. I have done my fair share of sketchy things, but what you describe as a solution makes me really cringe! See what others...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    This made me laugh when I really wanted to cry... While on the side of the road with a destroyed rim, flat tire and brake caliper issue the other day I was waiting for flatbed and noticed this: The temperature display on the mirror reading 70-71 F... I am in MA and it was snowing! Normally, it...

    Headlight Housing Recommendations?

    How did you pay? Venmo, PayPal, other electronic payment app? Maybe you can you get your money back through payment resolution center for non-receipt of goods paid for through the payment service. For me, I'll do PayPal for Ebay transactions or other online merchant stores. Cash in person for...

    03 Yukon XL grill on a 04 Tahoe

    Isn't the shape of the Yukon hood different on the front edge, where it sits above the headlights? I thought the Yukon headlights, grille and hood had that dip in them for the GMC headlights. I was under the impression that to use GMC grille and lights on a Chevy, that would need to use the...

    Weird engine noise that's bugging me

    Try taking off the plastic engine cover to see if the noise stops.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    If you have stock-like headlight assemblies, did these fit in the space between the back of the bucket and that plastic bracket that is right behind the bulb opening? Easy install without any mods? I bought Sealight LED headlight bulbs and sent them back because I was struggling to get them...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Urgent wheel replacement with junkyard rim and ended up replacing all four tires yesterday... The Michelins came with the rims and were due for replacement by summer anyway. I needed 1 wheel that fit to replace one that got damaged. A set identical to mine was on Craigslist nearby for $400...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Maybe I'll try Auxitos when they really begin to crap out. Quite a few people like that brand and most seem to have good experience with them.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Catching up... Last Friday. Swapped out front rotors. I had a concerning groaning vibration that felt like it was up front. I first was thinking CV axle(s). Had one ordered and cancelled after it came in. I was not convinced 100% it was CV. Took to my mechanic. It wasn't as pronounced and was...

    Fuel tank and Evap lines

    Good place to start looking. I had a 94 Ranger that had the top plate on the fuel pump assembly just perforate with rust holes... We use liquid rust on our roads in MA! Could not fill the tank until I replaced the pump. I even had the owner of a pizza shop ask me not to park near the kitchen...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I put Sylvania LED replacements in my DRL. They have been in about 15 months. Some of the LED chips are already flickering sometimes.

    Headlight Housing Recommendations?

    Spyder was one of the ones people on the forum have used and liked very much. I needed replacements to pass RMV inspections and budget was tight having to get parking brake cables and rear brake rotors replaced too. So, the TYC were an affordable option for me at the time. Those Spyders do look...

    Headlight Housing Recommendations?

    I installed TYC from RockAuto. They are exact match to OE. Light pattern is same as factory. Build quality looked and felt the same as OE also. I like them and the prices was reasonable. However, I found it was easier to install a new radio than it was trying to get Sealight LED bulbs...

    2005 Tahoe Ticking

    What I thought was an exhaust leak between the manifold and block on my 05 Jeep TJ turned out to actually be a leak at the flange. It was caused by a shift in everything from the collector pipe back, when the exhaust flange clamp loosened. I was amazed at how much ticking it was making. Sounded...

    Smell of gas…

    WHile it is out, might be a good time to lube the heck out of the cable and mechanism. Silicone lubricants seem to dry out quick. I would probably use white lithium spray on it, if it were mine.

    Smell of gas…

    Hopefully you are one of the lucky folks, who can get your spare tire down with no complication. Mine has the safety catch rusted. I can get the cable to spool all the way down, but I haven't been able to get the safety released to drop the spare...

    Slipping remanufactured transmission

    I know hindsight is 20/20, but I would have leaned toward leaving a good working transmission in. Even with 180k miles... Sometimes, when you get a good one, it is best to run it until it actually does fail instead of swapping out the know for something unknown (a new one). Who knows, maybe it...
