    2007 Yukon SLT driver window failure

    Evening. TLDR: I have power at the motor harness on the old module, 11v to ground on both sides, and the window will not work. Neither the old motor nor the new. And no power at the harness with the new module. Driver window failed. Lowered window, kept truck running while I mounted a couple...

    Why would a failed auto ride not be sending an error code?

    Just that. New owner here. I have what I think is a failed auto ride. The bladders have holes. I’ve yet to hear the compressor kick on. And I’ve got not idiot lights, and no codes. Any idea what might be causing this?

    Autoride compressor diagnostics

    So I have what should be a failed auto ride system. The bladders have holes. And I, as the new owner, have never heard the compressor cycle. A few questions. Why is this not showing up as a fault code? I’ve put the VDiagtool on it a couple of times now it it’s showing no faults there. It shows a...

    BCM components.

    What exactly do the BCM modules monitor? I have a folding mirror motor that’s doing something weird and it’s not showing up in the scans. I’m assuming that there’s some kind torque sensor on that motor that is failing. This is the second replacement motor on this thing. Replaced the drivers side...

    A couple of squirts of lube out of the boot.

    So after the hurricane I did some surveying. Rain was still coming down, streets wet, debris, so I put the 07 Yukon in 4 auto. Hit a couple of spots in some mud where the front engaged. Not much, a few seconds at most. Came home and crawled under the old girl and I found that the front cv boots...

    BYD Shark

    This may get booted because it is only barely tangentially related to Hoes and Yukes but I’m watching TFL on YouTube reviewing the Chinese made BYD Shark. It’s a midsize Colorado/Ranger/Tacoma competitor. 450 HP. Hybrid drive train. 400+ mile range. Derivative but interesting exterior, surprises...

    Folding mirror motor question

    When I press the button and initiate a fold in or fold out on automatic mirrors, what exactly tells the motors to stop when the fold is complete? I just replaced both and while the drivers side is functioning perfectly, the passenger side, on fold out, tries to overextend. Drivers side motor...

    Roof weight rating.

    So the rating for a 2007 Yuke is about 175lbs if I remember right. Is the rating for the rack? Or the complete safe load capacity for the roof? I’m considering replacing the existing rack with some suspended steel cable but that only makes sense, to me anyway, if the actual structure of the roof...

    Service Battery AND Low Coolant warnings

    2007 Yukon SLT 5.3. So after removing the MAF and cleaning MAF and throttle body I took her for a drive. Seemed a bit smoother than normal which was good. But about five min in the cluster threw the Service Battery Charging System Soon warning. I looked at the gauge at it was hovering just about...

    Gas Mileage

    Adding to the many mileage posts. Full tank just topped off. A whopping 276 miles. I still haven’t gotten the transmission serviced and I’m thinking my likely failing torque converter is contributing. Still, she drinks what she drinks and so far I love her. (Will love her more when I finally...

    Supercharging

    So I’m seriously thinking about supercharging my Yuke. 5.3. 180k. Second owner. I’m, if I do this, looking at a Procharger kit. Prior to, is there any way to see if the motor is good for this? Compression and leaks test etc. I’m not looking to race, just to add some ass to her when I want her to...

    Can you identify what parts need to be replaced?

    Serious question. Was hunting and occasional clunk in the front end and I think I found it. Bushing at the top def needs replace but idk about the rest. *edited for wrong pic. *

    So this isn’t good, right?

    Crawling around for the first real time under the Yuke just now and found a LOT of fluid. Oil level is perfect. Haven’t checked trans yet.

    Auto Ride options

    How vital is a functional Auto Ride to normal hwy and street handling? The Yuke’s auto is shot. Both bladders are worn through. I’m assuming the compressor is shot. She rides curves like a boat. Not uncontrollable, but super squishy. I’ve read several threads saying don’t worry about it but...

    GM RPO code GT5 G80

    So in doing some research I learned that I have 4:11 gears and a positrac limited slip dif. That is literally the extent of my knowledge about any of this. As someone who wants to be able to competently use this truck in som light Florida off-road, what does any of that actually mean? As a...

    Shudder at 20mph on deceleration.

    So this is my next repair. I have a subtle but distinct shudder on decel. It’s most noticeable at 20 mph, may start being noticeable earlier at around 25 but it really ramps from 23-22 down to 20. It gets increasingly less noticeable down to about 13 mph then it’s imperceptible if it’s there...

    Roof rack size

    Roof rack/basket size. So I’m looking for a roof rack. A rooftop cargo basket. I do not want to cover my sunroof. I want enough room to carry a reasonable amount of gear. I’ll eventually add some traction boards to that gear. My question is how wide does a rack want to be? If I buy one that...

    Speedo intermittent failure.

    So the speedo failed yesterday. Jerky, and 10-20 mph low. Shut her down. Restarted and no problems since. But for me one failure is a permanent future problem. My girl has 180k. I’m guessing stepper motor failure but that’s just a guess. Thoughts?
