    Electrical Gremlin

    I agree, have experienced that in the past on other rigs. There is 0 indication of any type of corrosion on any of the connections inspected today. This was a California rig before coming up to Washington, there is no rust/corrosion that I can see. I going to look at the harnesses I can...

    Alternator going bad?

    Honestly at this point I wish it was an old school system with two speakers, a power wire, a ground.

    Alternator going bad?

    I have checked all the grounds I am aware of. If anyone has a diagram or list of them that would be great. Other than the radio/audio control stack, everything else appears to be working fine. I have let it idle for about 20 minutes with everything on and the volts have been between 13.5...

    Alternator going bad?

    Thanks for the tips. I put everything back together. With the blower motor at max, the rear climate controls on, headlights on, it’s putting out 13.6 on the gage. At idle it’s bouncing between 13.5 and 14.6v. I am not sure what’s up. All the gage electronics and gages are working, just...

    Alternator going bad?

    I don’t have long enough leads for that. When I pulled the alternator, I checked the battery and it was at 12.3v. Since this is the wife’s rig, and currently she is having to drive it 45 minutes to an hour away from home, I am hesitant to put this alternator back in it. Given the other...

    Alternator going bad?

    Ok, while out driving today, the voltage gage on the dash dropped to just above 9v a couple of times then went back to 14v. I pulled the alternator out and took it to AutoZone and it tested as good. I am wondering if there is an intermittent issue in the alternator, I have checked the...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Ok gang, the gremlin has returned. The battery is good as is the charging system. Does anyone have any ideas as to where to look? I can switch between Audio, Phone and Nav systems, but the knobs and buttons don’t respond correctly, the volume knob will increase and decrease the bar in...

    Alternator going bad?

    Well, left the charger on it until is showed green. Fired it up the with my multimeter hooked up, and it was at 14.3v. Turned on the blower and such, no drop. The drives are 45 to an hour each way. But the infotainment system was working fine after I did all this ( which is why I was...

    Alternator going bad?

    Ok, about 6 months ago, I replace the battery in my 2015 Yukon SLT. I changed it because I was having issues with the infotainment system, plus it was the original one. We have been having issues again, so I am looking at it today. I checked the battery voltage and it was 12.3v. So I hooked...

    infotainment issues

    I have a 2016 Yukon SLT. Awhile back, i was having issues with the Infotainment System, so I replaced the battery, an it seemed to fix it. Now I am back with the following issues: The screen will be on, no audio at all, the buttons would not work under the screen, parts of the touch screen...

    2015 Yukon Denali replacement brake parts recommendations

    I am looking to replace my brakes this weekend, this thread has a lot of great information. I wanted to ask tho, I looked at Rock Auto, looked at the Raybestos front and rear kits. I then looked for them the same SKU’s on Amazon. The prices were comparable, so I am curious if anyone has used...

    Battery tender

    I need a recommendation for the best battery tender to install on my in-laws 2006 Tahoe. It is an LT model with a lot of electronics on it. There is a parasitic battery drain I I haven’t been able to isolate. We are on the third battery so far, as they don drive it much and they can’t...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Yes, mine has the the terminal strip on top of the battery. The terminals were clean, with out ant corrosion, I did make sure all the connections were tight while I was working on it. I was a bit surprised given that it is a 2015, but everything is clean and tight. I do wish it had the...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Replaced the battery tonight. The one that was in it was at 12.03 volts when I tested it after pulling it out. The brand was Energy Power, a brand I have never head of, definitely not OEM. No date sticker either. I was a bit perturbed that the hold down was not very tight and the coolant...

    Electrical Gremlin

    I checked the battery voltage when I got home, my meter shows 12.2 volts. I looked at what grounds I could find and they all seem clean and tight. I didn’t realize how crammed in these batteries were. So I am debating on just getting a new battery to see if it solves the issue. I haven’t...

    Electrical Gremlin

    A few weeks ago my wife told me the radio was acting weird in our 2015 GMC Yukon SLT. She also said there was a security system reset message on the center screen. I drove it a week ago and it started it again. The touchscreen would still respond to certain things, but the physical knobs and...

    2001 Tahoe AC issue

    Thanks for the responses. The compressor rotates, albeit a bit tight. I will get a belt and tensioner (as they are needed anyway) along with a new relay and pressure switch to see what happens.

    2001 Tahoe AC issue

    I did some work on my 2001 Tahoe today. I periodically fire it up as it is not currently a daily driver. I noticed that there was a significant belt squeal, combined with the AC not working at all. Checked the relay in the fuse box, and it was warm, nut not hot, with out the AC button the...

    Stereo upgrade

    My 2015 Yukon SLT has navigation, but it kinda sucks, and I am not sure buying upgrade it worth the cost. It seems the website that was doing it has gone the way of the infamous dodo bird. I was wondering if I could find a 2016 (as I understand in 2016, Apple Car Play/Android Auto were...

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

    I bought from my father in law who had used it for work, but he retired after he was injured. They had an 06 that was thier daily driver. This one sat until the 06 had its transmission ate itself. They had an oil change done on the 01, but found water in the crankcase (probably from...

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

    Today, I washed the three years of green growth off my 2001 Tahoe. I am pretty impressed that the 22 year od paint job is still in decent shape, seeing how it never spent any time in a garage. I still have to deep clean the interior, but for how long it sat, it has nothing growling inside...

    Keyless entry

    I did the process 3 times as described. Given that it doesn’t have the RPO code for keyless entry, AU0, and no fobs were supplied upon purchase directly off a Chevrolet dealership lot, I am pretty much certain that this rig was/is not equipped with keyless entry. I will be pulling the gage...
