    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Yea it was a mess. After dinner, I drove like a complete madman trying to burn off fuel. :) However, it was so rusted, it might have been leaking just as the system pressurizes. I'm hoping a new pump gives me a little boost in power too. Thats alot of miles on an original. Besides this...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Ok well it turns out my truck is actually a flex fuel truck. Nothing on it or in it ever lead me to believe this but the pump I picked up had three hose connections coming out of the top whereas mine had two. No one local on a sunday has a flex fuel pump so I'm out of luck til monday-tuesday...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Well finally got the tank down last night. The top of the fuel pump was very rusty and the two hose fittings were basically rusted away. I actually just twisted them off separating them from the plastic barb connection. Which leaves me with the current problem of trying to remove the...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Ok, out in it now. Stopped for dinner and looked underneath when we parked. Fuel all over the tank, almost positive its leaking from the pump. Can't believe the seal failed so severely, I ordered a new seal which came today, and its a real thick o ring. Wouldn't think that would fail but I...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Ya, can't tell you that its done that for awhile. I've had the fan going in the garage all night. Everything will be dry when I crawl under there after work today. Unfortunately my wife just filled the tank... I already ordered a tank pump seal, probably need to order a new pump too. I'll...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Thanks for the tips guys, I have a metal fan blowing on the underside right now trying to dry it all off. It really smells pretty strong in the garage. edit: I have not however, noticed anything leaking on the ground. Though gasoline would evaporate fairly quickly I suppose. ----------...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Ha! Ok, I think first step will be getting my ass under there to inspect everything. Problem is its wet under there alot during winter. I guess I should check the evap canister too to make sure it doesnt have fuel in it? I have never had a vehicle emit such a strong gas smell. I'm slightly...

    Why does my Yukon smell like gas?

    Hey everyone, I have a 2006 Yukon 5.3, excellent shape. Recently its been smelling like gas in the garage and even near the vehicle. I assume it has something to do with the Egt system. I got a code for large evap leak about 20,000 miles ago and changed that little solenoid near the gas tank...

    AFM. Lets discuss.

    Interesting. So we can assume that the function of the Afm is what burns oil in these scenarios. I consider any oil level drop before say 6000 miles unacceptable. None of my 5.3's, 4.8 or 5.7 burns a drop. Even the 4.8 with 223,000 miles. Sounds like getting a low mileage 07+ and...

    Good to know, thank you.

    AFM. Lets discuss.

    So I'm always looking at/for 07-14 Tahoes and Denalis. Recently came across many threads about engine failure in 5.3's due to improper Afm function. I have a couple of questions. 1. Does proper oil type help this issue? 2. Does a tune that disables the afm really solve the issue or are...

    New-to-me tow/winter/kid hauler ride

    Good trade. I have a 03 WJ Overland just like the one you traded, its setup mainly for our offroading trips. Its nice, very fast with the 4.7 H.O. but just way too small to be the main family hauler imo. You'll love the Denali, plus the GM fullsize suvs are just so reliable. I really haven't...

    Has anyone tried reproduction chrome bumpers?

    Ok, I bit the bullet and bought three GM bumpers, one new bumper cap and a new lower valance, all GM. You guys are right, I couldn't take the chance. It wouldn't be worth the couple hundred dollar savings if they rust prematurely or fit like crap. Can't wait for them to come in, I might just...

    Has anyone tried reproduction chrome bumpers?

    Soooo my wife has been hard on my Yukon the past year. She lightly backed into my father in laws Sierra denting the rear bumper, right side. Then turned too early onto our street and smacked the front bumper, right side. This along with a few other things will be getting fixed at my favorite...

    For sale: 2003 Z71 Tahoe - 15k miles

    No sorry guys, its been gone since last spring. He was able to negotiate them up a lite more and used it as a trade in for a 2013 Silverado 2500 Ltz. Would have been nice to see it sold to someone on here.

    I want to install a double din, how do I keep my RSE through speakers?

    At first I thought great that will work, but I don't turn the dvd player on from the head unit. I flip it down and turn it on from the controls on the ceiling. When its on and playing, it hit the cd/rse button on the head unit and sound comes through the speakers.

    I want to install a double din, how do I keep my RSE through speakers?

    Hi all, my factory six disc is starting to act up. Ive talked to Crutchfield about going with an aftermarket double din. Keeping the steering wheel controls is no problem but keeping the rse sound through the speakers is not. Apparently only 07-14 have a harness for this. Has anyone...

    who fits their truck inside a garage?

    I finally got a place where I can keep all my toys inside. I have to park my Jeep sideways in front of my K1500 but that allows me to park my van in the barn too. Yukon stays in the garage with room to spare. I'm going to add a three car and turn the current into a family room eventually...

    Opinions/experiences with aftermarket bumpers?

    Just wondering if anyone has had experience with aftermarket chrome bumpers from say EBay. My wife decided to back into my mother in laws truck today. Slightly dented the quarter panel too in front of it, after I just had them and other stuff painted this past summer. Never fails. I'm...

    Any OBS and NBS owners out there want to comment on reliability?

    No way. My 5.7 Vortec has tons of power. Not as smooth as the LS engines though, and less power at higher rpms. But 5.7 has lots of torque.

    Any OBS and NBS owners out there want to comment on reliability?

    They are both so awesome and reliable. I tell people all the time about how you still see tons of 88-98 GM trucks on the road. But as wonderful as the 5.7 is, the 5.3 is just much smoother and more powerful. The LS engine alone is worth it.

    Common issues on 05/06 GMT800s?

    I bought my 06 Yukon SLT with about 80k. Have about 143, 000 now with nothing major the whole time. Rear hvac blend door has not worked, I am never confident that I'm gona get the correct actuator for it so I just switch it twice a year. All heat or all a/c, literally takes me 10 mins. I...
