    Have you checked the wire harness connection to the transmission? My connector was loose and dirty and caused my transmission to have problems.

    Bad alternator?

    Bad alternator? Intermittent power loss at start up,not starting. Hello- My 2006 tahoe died about a week ago. We jumped it and drove home so I took the battery in to test at Autozone and they said it was bad. Installed new battery and ran like a champ. Today the tahoe died again, but this time...

    Tail Light Short

    Thanks. I ended up taking the taillight assembly apart and the board did indeed have burn marks on it. I bought new taillight assemblies on ebay for 40 bucks that came with tail lights, bulbs and new boards. Problem is gone.

    Fabtech Lift and Steering stabilizer

    Update. Steering stabilizer solved my problems for now. I had a mechanic check out the front and outside of a few bushings being worn he did not find anything major. Wheel bearing boots are rotted and starting to ooze so looks like those are next on the list.

    Possible transmission failure?

    Update. The wire harness connector was loose and dirty, he cleaned it out and its running like a champ, plus a new seal on the back since it was leaking. Have 105k on the 06. I wonder how many repair shops would have tried to sell me a new tranny?

    Possible transmission failure?

    So transmission problems are out of my skill range for repair. Dropped it off at a trusted mechanic, he said it is defaulting into second gear. Could be a possible electrical fault and he is trying to track it down.

    Possible transmission failure?

    Had the tranny flushed about 5k ago, nothing unusual there. Normal amount of material in the pan, no issues before that or immediately after. Fluid was correct and is at the right amount. I had a bad converter on my F250 and I had problems in every gear so I don't the converter is bad. Only...

    Hello- I have a 2006 Tahoe that is acting up this morning. No previous problems. When we started driving to work this morning the car was struggling to drive like the parking break was one. No engine lights or weird sounds. First gear seems to work normal as well as second, but once I put it...

    Front wheel width

    Hello- I have a 98 Yukon with a Fabtech 6 inch lift. Just looking for a little back ground info if anyone has it. On my truck it seems that the front tires stick our about 1/2 inch wider than the back tires doe. I seem to remember reading it was because of the way the Fabtech lift works for the...

    Fabtech Lift and Steering stabilizer

    Thanks for the recommendations. I checked the rag joint this morning, it honestly looks tight, no wear. The steering shaft looks pretty clean so I am guessing this has been replaced recently. I am going to try a stabilizer to help with the wobble. If that doesn't work I will just start replacing...

    Fabtech Lift and Steering stabilizer

    I had death wobble in my Jeep before, but it was at high speeds. This seems to be at lower speeds and I experience nothing on the highway. I just got done reading about the rag joint, could be my problem. I grabbed the steer shaft and twisted it back and forth, there is definitely play there. Is...

    Fabtech Lift and Steering stabilizer

    I have a bad shimmy in the steering wheel. I have checked over the front end, everything looks good, no loose parts. The steering box looks original so I am sure it is getting worn out. There are no steering issues when driving down the highway, no wandering or shimmy, just at lower speeds over...

    Fabtech Lift and Steering stabilizer

    Hello- I have a 98 Yukon with the Fabtech 6 inch lift, and 4wd. I think I am in serious need of a steering dampener with my 35 inch tires. I have looked at a couple kits but it is hard to tell which ones are direct bolt up kits. The Fabtech dampener looks good but seems to be a little pricing...

    Loose steering and Oscillation

    Yeah, that was one thing I noticed being absent. I had and aftermarket one on my lifted F250 and made a world of difference. Stabilizers do not seem to be stock on these, is there a good aftermarket kit you recommend? Rancho?

    Error Code P0420

    So left being driver or passenger side? I am going to try replacing the sensors this weekend. I did notice this morning that little retaining clip on one of the plugs is out, but it is on top of the transfer case or transmission so it was hard to see. I tried pushing the plugs in to see if they...
