    Cant figure out P0300 and loose steering feel

    Bench test with a battery and can of gasoline is more than OK. I have a spare connector for the FI that I snatched from a junkyard or something; works great with a couple of alligator clips, piece of tubing and go to town

    Just discovered

    just the ancillary fuel filter on the driver-side of the frame that needs to be occasionally replaced just like any other serviceable component. if you can't find the schedule for it, I can dig something up.

    I doubt you are capable, lacking common sense & all.

    Frontend wobbling after extensive frontend work

    maybe use a turkey baster to extract what you can from the reservoir, that or a handheld pump. But after that you pull the return hose to the pump/resv which allows the old fluid to be mechan' pumped into a can while simultaneously filling the reservoir with new PSF, front tires off ground and...

    Cant figure out P0300 and loose steering feel

    If the CEL is flashing, you need to get serious. Waiting for something to completely fail is going to cost you more & more as the catalytic converters and oxygen sensors get roasted with raw fuel. It may have already come to that. If it was my truck I would just replace the intake gaskets and...

    2010 Tahoe brake bleed - one man bottle method gone wrong

    this is where folks are fucking up. they see "hold the pedal" or whatever, and smash it to the floor. you know a helper would for sure, if you don't make it clear to only go halfway or so. the board is a good idea.

    Front diff driver axle seal

    There are several vids on YouTube and then other testimonials located within forum threads. From what all I have seen & read, the stub shaft is removed either of the 2 ways that you are attempting. There really is no other ways and fellow DIYers have had success with both methods. All I can...

    Rear Differential issue Rebuild or Swap W Boneyard rear?

    Unless you have a diff fluid leak @ seal or cover & then ran the unit low on oil, there really shouldn't be a problem with the pinion bearing.

    Rear Differential issue Rebuild or Swap W Boneyard rear?

    You need to further diagnose the drive line. Wheels off of the ground, start with the front: inspect wheel hubs for excessive movement, same with the inner CV axle and differential carrier interface. Spin the wheels and listen to the carrier, unbolt the CV axle from the diff flange and work its...

    Transmission problem?

    You probably don't have Quadrasteer then. It's VERY conspicuous. I know I wouldn't mistake this ^ for traction control, even if I was from Mars or otherwise.

    Transfer case output seal leaking again

    great suggestion @Wildhorse It doesn't matter how many times you replace the seal, the output will continue to leak until all of the underlying failures are addressed. I haven't been into this TC yet, but have seen the inside of more than I wanted to. Always inspect the actual output shaft...

    Ride height issues

    You can adjust the keys but you are going to find that the suspension & handling will get even worse. If you want that truck to ride like a Cadillac, I mean Denali, then the springs & torsion bars will need to be replaced. Espc with that lowering equip, I can't imagine the ride on that 15 year...

    Parking Brake not working correctly

    i don't know how much you mess around on YouTube but you can find a tutorial for everything. I have watched at least 1 for the parking brakes. When you get time do a search on YouTube for 'parking brake tahoe' or 'parking brake yukon' and skim through them til you get a handle on the...

    2005 Tahoe - Brakes / traction control active

    Congrats on your new purchase. That extra $4 grand is brutal. My only suggestion is to drain/remove & refill/replace every single fluid and filter on the vehicle. If even just for once, it will probably double the service life of given component. Power steering fluid, coolant, you know. Not 1...

    Parking Brake not working correctly

    have you ever replaced the brakes shoes on the back wheels? you might start with the parking shoe assembly if they are the original pieces. If that part is out of whack or coming apart then nothing upstream is going to look right.

    02 Yukon making awful noise!!

    hopefully the motor came with the replacement case so you can swap them out and see if it works better. there shouldn't be any programming involved, except you will need to set the position manually so that it matches whatever switch is activated on the mode panel or you could just set it to...

    02 Yukon making awful noise!!

    transfer case motor, probably. there is a little sensor inside of it that can be replaced for $30-$40. the technical name is "encoder ring" or "encoder sensor" I will post some links later. whenever the sensor goes out, the motor either will not shift or it shifts 1-time and gets stuck. you can...

    Transmission problem?

    Fluids & filters all the way around is 'A+' my friend. I don't know if the AWD TC uses the same drain/fill bolts as the 4x4 but you should apply some sealant or plumbers tape to the threads. I had to torque the bolts super tight because The drain was still seeping at spec torque. i know the...

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

    My issue isn't with the 1-2 shift. The 3-4 shift on my truck is really sketchy, espc the way I drive it. When I was putting together items for the 1st trans service, I had an old trans guy talk me out of replacing any hard parts so I figured next best scenario was have the parameters changed in...

    2005 Tahoe - Brakes / traction control active

    If he didn't buy his wife a new car, he def paid-off that bass boat which has had him in the hole for a few years. Somebody has to get the economy stimulated, salute to you. I would have been f*cked had that happened to me lol. I would have to assume the truck rides really good now. What else...
