    LEFT blinker fails/ intermittent operation

    when I hit the LEFT blinker in my 2003 Yukon, it doesn't want to work sometimes. if I'm turning the steering wheel the slightest bit left along with the left side blinker it will just quit clicking and flashing altogether. Its worse in the mornings than in the afternoon. if I turn the s/w to...

    Escalade is too loud, easy way to quiet a Corsa exhaust?

    Far as I know the only thing you can do is add a resonator if it's 1 of the kits that have a resonator-delete. Crawl under there and take a look. Probably don't need anything special like a "corsa" resonator, just whatever the local muffler shop has in stock but that's going to be part of the...

    Hydroboost bleeding process

    You should really consider buying or gaining access to a shop manual for DIY maintenance & repairs. bad advice, misdirection, and overlooked steps can compromise reliability of a vehicle subsystem & leave you both stranded and making a 2nd repair/replace. Anyways, PS fluid flows from the belt...

    P0446 Evap Code

    There are 2 EVAP solenoids. (1) on the engine "purge solenoid" and a different "EVAP vent valve/solenoid" back behind the gas tank hanging by itself. That 2nd gets stuck open or closed and it perpetrates the same symptoms as a faulty purge valve. EVAP Purge Solenoid The EVAP purge solenoid...

    DYi press in bushings for front control arms?

    Don’t remove and replace, or rebuild & replace without installing new ball joints as well. All of that work just for new bushings, then neglect the ball joints REGARDLESS of condition, is a major FAIL. These components really need to be in a bad way for warranting such an undertaking. I’m...

    DYi press in bushings for front control arms?

    That’s 1 hell of a job, bub. These are the procedures required for removing the upper and lower CAs, half of the battle. Once you get them on the bench, I would estimate anywhere from 4-8 hours rebuilding each with new bushing & ball joints. Nowadays, most folks will buy new control arm...

    2002 Tahoe- Frame Advice

    They paid you $6500 after deducting your purchase price?? That’s a win all day long. I had 2004 Land Rover (105k miles) that was mint before a tornado came through. I ended up with like $4500 after buying it back with my orig blue title so it could have been worse. As suggested before, find...

    Service front differential

    I'm not running any kind of solvent or cleaners through any gears or bearings, I don't give a damn who advises. If it needs a good flush then fill it up with a couple quarts of cheap 80-wt, put some laps on it then drain & refill again. Repeat 'til your heart's content.

    New T-bars anyone?

    There was a detailed thread on performance trucks.net that I monitored for a couple weeks around 1st of the year. The OP had overly harsh front suspension or it squatted on the DS, either way he determined the front bars were in need of replacement. If you are thinking the same thing it's worth...

    Tahoe problem front tires (axle) CZE

    you should start by jacking the front up and supporting the frame with tires clear of the ground. At that point you can begin with a physical check for signs of steering linkage and hub conditions. You may or may not be aware of these manual inspections but Internet search will provide results...

    New Yukon owner

    You really need to go through that truck on the mechanical side and update everything, regardless of mileage. I know some guys are more into appearances & comfort, but even so the first thing I'm doing on a new purchase is picking up a shop manual and couple-hundred in manufacturer-spec...

    Limited slip additive or not?

    Because you are adding chems not meant to be used in a g80?? Don't even mention limited slip, doesn't apply except towards creating more confusion, which is why the OP started the thread in the 1st place. This post should be removed from the thread, entirely

    Limited slip additive or not?

    Soooo much contradictory information being thrown around in this thread. Once again, for full size SUV & pickup trucks, no modifiers should be used or added. STRICTLY gear oil, nothing more & nothing less "Originally Posted by General Motors LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL LUBRICANT (SERVICE...

    Limited slip additive or not?

    NO additives! Pickup trucks and SUVs equipped with g80 do not require the additive. Only limited-slip diff in select performance cars and vehicles of that nature will call for that particular chemical additive or fluid spec. Your owner manual or service guidelines will state synthetic gear lube...

    2" front lift on Z71 w/ keys only?

    1. Are you still referring to the torsion bar or now the rear springs? All TB should be the same on 1/2 ton frames. The 2500 have dif TBs. if you are talking about rear springs, there are several different types on the 1500 frame, depending on the suspension package. 2. Mine fit snug but I...

    Why am I lopsided??????

    Looks almost perfectly level in the picture that is posted. Z71 aren't really meant to be lowered in any way, but to each their own. I think lowering the back end 2" will bring it down lower than level with Cali-Lean results. All you needed to do was jack the front of the truck up and torque...
