    I've had a back burner issue on my rig where the DIC would display driver's door open. Was hoping to wait until the weather got nice But.... Today, it decided to go full yeehaw into dummy land. The doors seem like they're stuck in a lock loop, with the DIC continuing to display the message...

    200K+ club what oil you run in the heat ??

    Not 200k... Yet.... But I run some euro-spec 0w-40 year-round (thinner 40w oil with good viscosity-temp characteristics. Actually flows better than 5w30 when cold). From negs, to triple digits. I don't believe in putting "thicker" oil in for the summer. The engine isn't air cooled. It keeps its...

    Looking for Testimonials Re: HM Oil

    Idk I think high mileage oils are kinda dumb. If you have a leak, fix it. The seal is past it's service life and trying to throw a bunch of swelling additives in there is just going to make you a slave to that specific oil. I run castrol euro 0w40 in mine. Motor likes it, lab tests back it...

    Power steering loss ?

    I mean Realistically, there's one of 2 things going on 1. The fluid in there doesn't like cold temps. Would be unusual, but not unheard of. Power steering honestly isn't that sensitive of a system. I'm a big proponent of synthetic fluids. 2. Level is either too high or too low. A bubble or two...

    Power steering loss ?

    What happens if you check fluid level now, before starting, without bubbles in the fluid?

    Rear defroster not working

    Actually I don't hate that Though, I might subsitute some butyl for RTV - reversible and whatnot (butyl and dielectric grease are my usual weapons of choice). Or just toss a higher power connector in there to take the 30 amps that the defrost pulls. I already have the connector kinda drilled out...

    Rear defroster not working

    Both? I think? The plug is fried at both ends, so, both need to be replaced

    Rear defroster not working

    Nice thanks! Managed to find the OE one https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ado-pt1441 But even that doesn't have the pin guide. Strange Can't seem to find the actual harness anywhere though. I hate cutting wires and rather just re-harness and be done, but I can't find a part number for it...

    Yeah I think I had some water intrusion that caused that to happen, unfortunately.

    Rear defroster not working

    Kind of It's the hatch-to-body harness connector. Body side, by the hinge Looks like there's a sub-harness that has the hatch side covered But I cannot, for the life of me, find the chassis side https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-liftgate-wiring-harness-extension-15173014 Grrr.... If...

    Rear defroster not working

    Well **** She'd dead, Jim Gonna need both sides of the harness. Can I get a hand tracking down part numbers? My google-fu is weak on this one and I'm not turning anything up

    Rear defroster not working

    Well..... I Noticed my rear defroster ain't working Fuse under the hood has power Rear cables have power when disconnected from the defrost tabs But when connected to the tabs, voltage at said connectors drops to 0v. Not even 1-2v, friggin' 0.0v. Like... dammit.... Wiper is fine. Defrost, is...

    Popping from front end? Tried everything..

    Adding to what's been posted, there's also a TSB about some body mounts. Might be worth looking at http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/heavychevy396/2010-01-02_123934_Underbody_Pop_or_Clunk.pdf

    05 Escalade just hit 100k miles, ok to change tranny fluid?

    I personally hate the cooler-line-drain method. Apt to run the pump dry and shove air through the torque converter and hydraulics. Then you're spending the next day trying to purge the air out. Fiddling with those things is also likely to un-seat an o-ring and cause a leak, or wear out those...

    Good grease gun?

    Honestly, they're all going to leak I hang mine in a 5 gallon bucket by the handle Tbh, I've never found benefit by getting a 'nice' grease gun. Especially not at the home-maintenance level. Just feels like a waste to purchase something that ultimately would have... A nicer handle? For the...

    Oil Analysis Results - 5000/170k mi

    Cavitation: I can only speculate as to why, given that I'm the second owner. I know the stock pumps are prone to cavitation at high RPM, but even with spirited driving - it's unlikely that these rigs see that RPM. Possible the o-ring was letting some air by, but the o-ring appeared in...
