    Parking brake adjustment question

    So I finally got to this... I took everything apart on rear. Shoes are in perfect condition. I had a hell of a time adjusting though and never found the section in the FSM about how to adjust (I hate the FSM... So poorly written); maybe it is not in the parking brake section? Anyway, I removed...

    GM Tech 2

    They changed this in the middle of a run of vehicles? Was there a change in electronics in the 2007-2014 trucks?

    GM Tech 2

    I guess since this is an older unit for older trucks, these knock offs will have updated software? I see some sellers have 2017 written on their ads. Following vendor seems to have two similar cables that I do not see other vendors presenting. I assume this is mistake or trick...

    How does the tech 2 connect to a computer? I see what looks like Ethernet port on side?

    GM Tech 2

    Does anyone know what years the Tech 2 applies to? I have a friend with a 1998 suburban and he would also like to take advantage of it.

    Brake issue: occasional slight kick back and ABS feel in pedal

    After bleeding, i have not noticed it happening again, yet. I will keep an eye out. Definitely needed a bleed as it was getting dark. I had trouble bleeding out the ABS. I read that you needed to open bleeders and turn ignition to on to cycle ABS? At front driver side, it dribbled out. But at...

    No rear air at all

    Looks like too much current going through the connection. or bad connectors? weird.

    AWD Broken?

    just curious. what kind of tires do you have? how wide is the track? If you have wide tires (like many like to put on their trucks), wider than OEM, you may want to pick up a 'winter' set of stock tires/rims. I picked up a brand new OEM 2016 set for $1000 on CL. That is if you have to drive in...

    AWD Broken?

    If you talk to people that live up north, they will tell you how they drive in snow... Carefully. As they get to stop sign or light, or curve in the road, they start slowing down 4 times earlier. They give themselves plenty of time to correct if wheels lock up. And they are probably driving with...

    AWD Broken?

    You need to provide more info... having wider tires is not going to help you in the snow... thinner is better. But you should be able to see if someone watches from outside in the snow. 4wd still requires extra caution though. not saying this is your case, but some people think 4wd means they...

    Brake issue: occasional slight kick back and ABS feel in pedal

    cool thanks. I do notice that every time i drive the truck, what seems to be the front brakes feel like they have surface rust on them... similar to when a car/truck has been parked outside for a few weeks without driving and the rotors flash rust. I was told this could also be the dust shield...

    GM Tech 2

    I am mostly looking at it for repairs and maintenance. Not for tuning or magic fixes :) I need to bleed brakes and did not realize i needed computer for ABS flush.

    GM Tech 2

    So I am trying to figure out if the tech 2 is worth picking up. Does anyone know if there are other computers that might do everything that the Tech 2 does, plus work on most vehicles? I own some Toyotas, non OBD, but if I were to invest in a computer, it would be nice to have something more...

    04 Yukon, can't get brakes bled.

    Yeah. I always wondered about pumping the brakes into that less traveled zone of the MC. It is probably what does a MC in, unless vehicle is bled fairly often. Never thought of the block of wood idea. that is smart. So I would imagine you really need a computer to bleed out the ABS system...

    Brake issue: occasional slight kick back and ABS feel in pedal

    I do have that option. Looked through the specs.

    04 Yukon, can't get brakes bled.

    is there a write up on bleeding brakes with ABS. Last time i did it, i just pumped traditional way. evidently, that may not be best way?

    Brake issue: occasional slight kick back and ABS feel in pedal

    I am not sure if I have hydro boost. Was that standard? Need to look at manual. I am going to bleed brakes tonight and see if that helps.

    Brake issue: occasional slight kick back and ABS feel in pedal

    I am getting occasional slight kick back in brake pedal and what feels like the ABS kicking in for a second or so. It almost feels like pedal was rubbing against something. It happens occasionally when driving. I am overdue for brake fluid change. No trouble lights coming on. Any idea what...

    Parking brake adjustment question

    I have not gotten to this project yet. Cables stretch over time, but i would imagine with new shoes, it should not need washers.

    Replacing Fuel Pump in a 2004 Tahoe- Step by Step

    Yeah. but i would really be careful with Amazon, since they are not the best at listing if it will work with your vehicle. I ordered the lock ring from them, and it was the wrong one.

    Parking brake adjustment question

    Do you remember how long it took you to do? I think the brakes are new on the truck. They must have been lazy and did not bother with the e-brakes. I think they are shot. I wonder how long it would take to just replace e-brakes.

    Parking brake adjustment question

    BTW, I am not a big fan of how these OEM manuals are written. They are kind of annoying. It constantly takes you to other sections and you need to bounce all over the place.
