    2003 yukon tail lights flash with signal

    What exactly was done to tie in these new lights? Where did you make connections? Photos wold help. To me, it kind of sounds like you might have tapped the hot (12V+) on your stop light strip/bar into a ground wire for turn signals... Maybe? Might explain power leaving the turn signal bulb...

    Noise front left in 4wd - CV?

    Is it a severe growl or is this just a new vehicle that you are still getting used to what "normal" sounds like?

    Noise front left in 4wd - CV?

    I would say pretty good bet the noise has nothing to do with axles/CV joints... Front drive axle shafts on our trucks are not free-wheeling at the hub in 2WD mode. The shafts would always be rotating, regardless of being in 2WD or 4WD modes. The fact that you have a groaning noise when in 4WD...

    No sound from radio

    Just a theory... But, sometimes they pan out. Cracked printed circuit boards? Excess heat and cold could make the board expand or contract, making a crack or components mounted on the circuit board expand or contract. If the crack is at one of the printed solder lines on the board... Heat may...

    Pour one out for a fallen Yukon

    I will echo the comments made about the truck doing its part to keep your daughter safe! Glad to hear she will be OK. Also... Hope you might decide to stay with us. I am sure everyone would be willing to help find another one and advise you on any work that may be required.

    Best radio I've ever had

    New radio head unit made HUGE improvement using my factory Bose amplifier and speaker system! Boss BE7ACP and everything needed for plug and play install was about $380 all-in and shipped from Crutchfield and I am really impressed! If you have the factory NAV radio, this Boss head unit will...

    My Project Tahoe

    I was active in a Jeep forum over the previous three years, going from an 05 Wrangler Rubicon to my current 04 Tahoe Z71... There was constant chatter about "Death Wobble" on there and people having to change underwear as a result. In a lot of those cases with the Jeeps, the main causes came...

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

    Installed Boss BE7ACP head unit and Crux CS-GMC2 interface last night. My Bose speakers and sub sound way better than the stock XM/Nav head unit did! For the money... What a huge improvement! FYI- If you have factory Nav radio, which is already double DIN... The Boss radio will fit with more...

    raptor liner instead of paint ?.?.?.?

    I saw a not-so-old (2010-15 maybe) Jeep Wrangler around town that was sprayed or rolled with liner. Based on that, I would say white is not a great choice. The sun must have gotten to it. I was starting to yellow.

    Strengthening rear suspension for towing

    Are you possibly loading too far up front or just towing vehicles that are too heavy? Too far to the back will lift the back of the tow vehicle and cause instability and traction issues. Too far to the front and your put too much weight on the tow vehicle. Dead center is not good either. May...

    Any Advantage to a Suburban over a Tahoe/Yukon???...

    On the flip side... shorter wheelbase Tahoe/Yukon/Esky are still a decent size, but pretty maneuverable for tight parking lots. Tahoe has pretty short overhangs on the front and back ends. Big windows on both, the long and short wheelbase trucks, provide really good visibility. It is pretty...

    raptor liner instead of paint ?.?.?.?

    If the body is pristine, I would say go for it. If there are any rust issues, you'll want to be sure all traces of rust are treated or completely removed. The liner material is the perfect cover for rust to progress and you would never see it from the outside. If the rust has perforated, the...

    Declining MPG

    If upstream O2 sensors are providing bad numbers to the computer, the computer will tell injectors to increase fuel until satisfied. That is just one of several possible causes for increased fuel consumption... There are others. Can you look at live data for the O2 sensors and the fuel trims...

    05 Z71 totaled due to engine coolant leak?

    I would agree with posts above. If the oil is not milky, then this may not be a certain death after all. Could be head gasket with external leak, water pump as noted... Might not be a major repair. Absolute worst case scenario... Lots of great parts to part-out. Being a Z71, you have a lot of...

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

    Installed new washer fluid level sensor to get rid of a pesky "Check Washer Fluid" messages yesterday. Only to find out the old sensor was apparently sideways. It was clocked 90 off from where it should have been. The flat side of the sensor with the tabs were aligned on the vertical seam on...

    Whistle from engine bay after water pump.

    Since it is just pressed in, you might be able to work it out and apply some RTV or Teflon thread sealant on there and push it back in. Could be cheap way to not replace the hole thing...

    05 silverado rear doors tint color from factory?

    Probably the same as back for Tahoe/Suburbans. Factory rear door windows on my 04 Tahoe with RPO code AJ1 (Deep Tint) have the information printed on them. DOT15 would indicate 15% light passes through (85% blocked). Many states have specific limits on front door window tints. In MA, on...

    Bose watt output.

    If keeping the factory Bose system and had to replace speakers... You would want speakers that match the Bose speakers for impedance (ohm rating). I am not a auto sound expert, so that is about as far as I will go on any advising. If the impedance does not match the system, new speakers might...

    2003 Yukon General Maintenance

    I have Bose in my 04. I just ordered Boss BE7ACP (see list of items in "What I Did on my..." thread). I decided to let Crutchfield figure out what I needed to make Bose and steering controls still work. Then, for $25... They will do all the connections between the new radio plug and the...

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

    If anyone missed it... 5 YR. Warranty!!! Boss must feel confident they are selling quality equipment, with that kind of coverage. Crutchfield really seems to sell a lot of their product.

    Whistle from engine bay after water pump.

    As always, AC Delco OE (Pro... Not Gold, if possible) is first choice. For me, since it is reported to be an easy install, I would probably save myself $50 and go with a Gates. $98 with thermostat and t-stat housing. Not Ac Delco, but I have never been disappointed with Gates and I have never...

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

    Just ordered a new audio head unit. Crutchfield advisor (JP) was super helpful in finding what I needed at a price I could afford... Was looking for NoCD/DVD, ability to stream music from my phone, make/answer phone, see/hear Google Maps directions. I figure I may just go back to Spotify...

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

    Be careful what bear gets poked... As soon as they figure out the taxes collected from gas is going down, they'll be looking to implement use tax based on miles driven. Which is probably the fair thing to do in the end, rather than things like our (MA) Excise tax based on what the state says the...
