    Hydraulic'd engine - bent valve or bent conn rod?

    I love the engine hoist trailer rig! It has a giant drain pan built-in already! You may be humble on what you have for shop and equipment set-up, but I'll tell you I am green with envy!! A welder AND a roof overhead? My idea of heaven...

    03 Tahoe AC Question

    I know squat about AC, but though of something to try... Press Auto and see if the AC kicks in on that mode. Like I said, worth trying just to see how it responds to that command. I almost always use auto on mine and set the temp to basically stay the same all the time (+/- a few). Whenever...

    Dorman VS ACDelco VS Duralast VS NAPA VS?????????

    I am not surprised. There is still a very good chance the very part installed in the factory came from the same place... There was no way every component used by GM at time of manufacture came from within the US. Global sourcing was a thing, even back in the early 2000's. I would bet a dollar a...

    2021 18” GMC Sierra Wheel on 02 Yukon?

    Lots of folks run late-model wheels. They look great. Not sure of differences in tire prices going to 18's. You may want to see if tire prices are still what you are willing to commit to.

    Noisy interior

    I used to own an 05 Wrangler Rubicon. I have been desensitized to squeaks and rattles... LOL If you had stuff out for headliner or other interior work, then there might be a trim panel clip that did not fasten as tight going in as it was originally.

    Driver door

    Is the latch working properly or do you think it is the electric lock actuator/switch/electrical? Just to be sure the door latch is doing what it should... Clean out the latch mechanism with brake cleaner or parts cleaner, then spray some white lithium grease into the door latch mechanism...

    I'm about done...

    I have an 04 with over 212k miles. Not an 05 or 06, but I would tend to still believe this to be one of the best ever produced... Everything is good so far. Drives and runs beautifully and very reliable as my daily driver. I am not messing with engine or transmission unless something happens.

    0300 while driving today

    Less time for software engineers to program, if you lump a bunch of random things into one generic code... Always about the bottom line! Also, means potentially more returns to the dealer's service department if a code is difficult to fully and completely diagnose. $$$

    I need my 01 Yukon xL 5.3 louder but not ear piercing

    State system priced a lot of mom & pop's out of business. The ones who are left are scared rabbits... They had to buy multi-cam video systems that live feed to inspectors. I have heard they have jumped into the shop system by chat and asked for specific things to be re-checked, if it seemed like...

    So you are thinking about getting or already have a Tech II Clone or the real deal.......

    I was unsure of what to look at with an issue one time about two years ago. I emailed and he replied with some solid advice... It definitely helped me out a lot when I was second-guessing what the problem might be. A personal reply... I really appreciated that!

    Intermittent ABS light issue

    I don't like super-high-tech stuff on vehicles, but when ABS could mean the difference between being able to stop in the shortest possible distance and potentially avoid a collision all together... I would not go without ABS. I have driven plenty of vehicles that never had ABS to begin with and...

    I need my 01 Yukon xL 5.3 louder but not ear piercing

    A lot of folks run with those. Seem to be really popular. With it clamped in place, you could always get something else and sell off the Thrush on Craigslist, Ebay or Marketplace, if it is not right for you.

    I need my 01 Yukon xL 5.3 louder but not ear piercing

    I'm shocked that can be done in CA... Especially, since they were the ones that started the toughest emissions requirements before anyone else. I am in MA. We don't need to do emissions, but still not legal to remove federal emissions components (cats). If I ran straight pipes and the inspector...

    So you are thinking about getting or already have a Tech II Clone or the real deal.......

    I have the Tech 2 clone and happy, as previously mentioned. But, Autel certainly comes highly rated from many sources. Scotty Kilmer, a no B.S. honest mechanic on YouTube, has been using Autel for a long time and raves about them. I don't believe they are sponsors of his content either.

    Good luck trying to get a Tech II clone shipped during 3-week shutdown for Chinese New Year! Not happenin' - LOL I have a clone. Don't get me wrong... I love it and found the quality to be excellent. Works great. No issues at all with customer service or price from Chinacrdiags.com. If it...

    Please help- P0455 Evap Emission

    On mine last fall, I replaced the purge valve. That solved a CEL for high flow during non-purge cycle. Must have been getting stuck in open position or not functioning at all. Purge-related codes have not come up since. Several times the CEL has cleared itself after the P0455. It must have been...

    Some sunroof questions

    With the sunroof closed, remove the switch and see if it still cycles open/close with the switch removed and you turn the ignition on/off. If it stays closed, BINGO! Switch problem. I would be shocked, if it wasn't a bad switch. But that is still a possibility...
