    Wiper Recommendations?

    Anco Contour blades on Amazon or Maybe Rock Auto. Best blades at a fair price. A lot of people blame wiper blades for streaking and chattering but you need to clay bar your windshield to remove the dirt and carwash wax even if you don’t get wax the car in front might have. Don’t use windex just...

    I got me a Tahoe!

    You say take it to a tuner but I don't have a local tuner? I have to rely on the internet.

    I got me a Tahoe!

    I have asked Diablo Tune the question and there answer was check with your local state laws so I said forget it because they won't do a refund. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could get a answer from them.

    I got me a Tahoe!

    Just a word to the wise if you install a non AFM engine and or if you move your state it may require a OBD2 test for state inspection your car will fail and there's nothing you can do about it. In the state of New Hampshire it goes by VIN so the inspection station can not cheat like using...

    2010 Tahoe/Erratic idle (no codes detected)

    A scan tool is not a code reader. The scan tool like the Tech 2 enables you to not only read and clear codes but see live data and with the add of a GM manual you are able to see what the data is reading and find out what is normal and not normal. Did you also do a compression test to make sure...

    2010 Tahoe/Erratic idle (no codes detected)

    A MAF sensor can be bad even though you cleaned it, also what did you clean it with?vI hope not carb or brake cleaner. You need to monitor fuel trims also and see if you have a rich or lean condition. Sorry did you say mileage? Like it was mentioned earlier possibly Pre-Oxygen sensors not post...

    Consensus on transmission service interval?

    I would at the very least do a fluid exchange at about 80K if you don't tow and if you do 50K. To drop the pan an replace the filter 120K. In the early two thousands the dealer I was working for was doing 50K flush and so on like I said above. It all depends on your driving habits, climate and...

    Two issues, coolant res level falling and ps rack leaking...

    I usually lookup the parts on any GM website like gmparts.com and grab the part numbers and look on Amazon, ebay and other gm online stores to get the best price. It’s a little work but it pays off in the end. Remember GM parts are the ones made for your vehicle from the factory and they update...

    Two issues, coolant res level falling and ps rack leaking...

    For the cost I would only use GM OEM heater hoses and T's. I replaced the 2 T's and the molded hoses and will probably never again have another issue. The lack of coolant flushes can help the plastic lines to fail so regular maintenance is key. Even 100K fluid is not designed to go that long so...

    Do seat blower fans really need to be programmed?

    Did you test the wiring for power, ground and reference at the seat motor because even if the lights are on the switch it doesn’t mean that the seat control module is sending the current to the blower motor. There is more involved than fuses and seat motors . I replace a seat bottom blower on my...

    2024 Z71 mpg .. can it be this bad?

    So you have a 5.3L 10 speed with 3.23 gears and semi aggressive tires with low miles. Do you race to the next stop light or drive at 80 mph, live in a cold climate, tire pressures low or high? Doesn't matter how I dive my 2011 Tahoe it always does 15 mpg all day unless on a long highway trip...

    Below MSRP Dealerss

    Then you will need to visit a dealer and spend some time to build the truck then haggle. I did this when I bought my last vehicle so unless someone in your area knows a dealer then you S.O.L.

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    I buy from Amazon,eBay and GM online stores. You have to do your research threw a GM online store then search the part to find the best deal which means time! If you have the time then you can get some good deals which ever one you choose. eBay reviews are B.S. and Amazon for many reasons...

    IS AFM DISABLEMENT NECESSARY??

    I have had Range Technology AFM delete for 10 years and I won't drive the truck without it especially having dual exhaust the sound is just terrible in V4 mode. V8 power all the way!

    2024 Yukon Denali Diesel impressions

    I worked for GM for over 30 years in the service department as a technician a foreman and a writer at the end of my career. I had customers that complained about their trucks suv's and cars and they said that they were going to buy a Ford or Ram so I said good luck. Guess what it didn't even...

    Tahoe 2010 LTZ OEM Struts

    Well it wouldn’t be the first time a part store is wrong.. I would call a GM dealer and ask for the correct p/n for your vehicle if you haven’t done that yet..

    Tahoe 2010 LTZ OEM Struts

    Who installed them? Did you take a resistance check directly from the struts? When you swapped the springs and tightened them down did you hold the strut so they didn't turn the strut shaft when they got tightened because you could have damaged the internal seals if the shaft spun would cause...

    Intermittent starting issue 2011 Yukon XL Denali

    No security light flashing I assume not so I would look into the neutral safety switch on the transmission and see if the inputs are correct. If it thinks it's in the wrong gear it won't start.

    2023 yukon denali 6.2..what to do

    I run a Magnaflow muffler with dual tail pipes coming straight the back which has a much nicer sound than a Flowmaster. Use a Range Technology DFM delete is a must with a exhaust modification because of cylinders cutting out and engine drone! That's all I would do and you'll love it and...

    Coolant Temp Sensor lasts about 30 days

    I have seen it and fix it. You didn’t say what the codes were but if the coolant is getting into the wiring harness I have seen the coolant make it all the way back to the PCM ( Power Train Control Module ). You have to disconnet the pcm harness and really look at the wiring and pins to the pcm...

    DFM disabler released

    It's great they came out with this BUT on my 2011 Range AFM delete it does cause intermittent problems like no crank and power liftgate not to open because it can interrupt the data stream so all I do is unplug and reinstall and I'm on my way but if this causes a problem I have to partially...

    Drivers side window switches / seat heater

    If you buy new you will have to have it programed but used you would need the old part number and ask the seller what kind of truck and the options it came with to plug and play.
