Factory Service Manual?
Thanks James! I bit the bullet and reached out to the eBay seller. Looks like he'll send me a link to download the file instead of shipping to Canada, so I'll save some good money that way. When he confirms, off to PayPal I go. That's now a pretty low barrier to entry, so why not give it a...- Teeroy78

Factory Service Manual?
Rereading my post, I had done some editing and royally messed up the train of thought flow... :) Let's try that last paragraph again! I am considering AllDataDIY based on some other comments you've posted. At the 5 year subscription rate, I could pay for it for 35 years compared to the Helm...- Teeroy78

Factory Service Manual?
@swathdiver Thank you James for the pointer about seriousctbuyer on eBay. I've got some work to do on my truck and have been considering my options. I checked out the Haynes manual at the local library. Flipping through the pages for maybe 20 minutes and I spotted so many errors that I don't...- Teeroy78

When they tell you it's time to replace your brake lines...
You Americans are so cute... :p For anybody who remembers SCTV: And if my gentle ribbing offended anybody, :sorry: Toomanyhobbies: that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for using the situation to warn others!- Teeroy78

Reset Fuel Trims ??
An interesting point was that it started up SO much better this morning from cold! Even though there should be near zero ethanol left in the tank and it is detecting 27.5% and the trims are still way too high, the difference is very noticeable. Felt like a new truck today!- Teeroy78

Reset Fuel Trims ??
Thank you so much Swathdiver! I appreciate any advice you and others have to get my truck healthy again. To answer your question, unfortunately 99% of my travel consists of short trips far less than 7 miles / 11km. I have the convenience benefit of living fairly close to work, daycare, kids'...- Teeroy78

Reset Fuel Trims ??
I'm currently in the middle of this problem too. I've never even seen E85 gas anywhere in Manitoba, so I certainly haven't put any in, but after my last tank from Superstore (regular grade) I got P0172 and P0175 with freeze frame data showing alcohol content over 75%. That was on the way home...- Teeroy78

VXDIAG as Tech2 successor
I'm also interested in how it turns out... I'm happy with my BlueDriver, but have been tempted by the Alibaba Tech2. This is even more tempting.- Teeroy78

Towing MPG (interested in all years, 2000 - 2017)
I agree, it is too big for a single axle. I didn't know any better when I bought it. Turns out the original axle was only rated to 3500 lbs and relied on tongue weight to carry load up to the trailer's rated maximum. On a road trip to Montreal (in the Xterra, the very trip for which the photo...- Teeroy78

I never weighed the tongue weight. I just know it handles the travel trailer way better than the Xterra it replaced! :)- Teeroy78

Towing MPG (interested in all years, 2000 - 2017)
Hi there, I have a 2009 Yukon XL SLT, 5.3L, 6 speed auto. My 19ft travel trailer is about 3800lbs dry, but we tend to be "everything including the kitchen sink" people when we go camping... trunk pretty loaded with firewood, tools, gear, drinking water, etc. Family of four inside. Canoe on the...- Teeroy78

Hello from Winnipeg!
Good evening, and greetings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! In less than a week (Monday evening) I will take ownership of my new-to-me 2009 GMC Yukon XL! I'm very excited. It's a significant upgrade from my 2013 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. Growing family, need a bigger (additional?) back seat. I...- Teeroy78
