Yup, my scanner has paid for itself many times over, not just with my Yukon, but with more than a dozen other vehicles.
I'm sort the family mechanic, so I have plugged into a lot of cars since I bought it.
My 2002 Nissan Altima had the chip key sensor in the ignition lock go out.
I bought a...
Since you instantly get the error as soon as the wheel is turned I would still look at the steering angle sensor.
Did you use a GM sensor?
Plenty of stuff I read online said only OEM sensors work correctly.
Saw plenty of posts about needing to go in again if you use an aftermarket sensor.
A good...
I would start with a compression test and go from there.
If you have low to none on that cylinder then you'll be pulling the valve cover to check the valve train, anyway.
If you're still having Stabilitrak errors, best to get a decent scanner and see what is causing the error.
I had a flaky steering angle sensor throw an inconsistent Stabilitrak error.
Code was still stored even when there was no error on the DIC.
Sensor finally went out for good and I had a...
There may be someone close to you that would take those old cores off your hands.
I would if I was close enough.
That would allow me to have a new set of front struts ready to go when I replace mine.
If the O2 sensor has over 50k miles on it I would replace it.
I wouldn't want each bank to be that out of sync with the other.
I know it is a PIA to do both but that is how I do the maintenance on my vehicles.
Seems to have worked well so far on all my vehicles, I have never been stranded and...
Lost a screw on the left front mudflap.
Heard a slight flapping sound on the highway and found that one fastener missing and every screw on both front flaps was loose.
Found a temporary replacement at a local farm supply but the washer is zinc and it is not captured on the screw.
Guess I'll have...
I owned that '64 Malibu SS Convertible for about 32 years.
It was a 327 / 4 speed car.
Only sold it because I had to thin the herd due to lack of space for all my cars.
Didn't like it had to sit in the driveway under a cover because my two 20's cars were in the garage.
I thought about buying a...
At one time I had a 70 mile one way commute in Los Angeles traffic.
It sucked.
My only car at the time was my 64 Malibu with a 4 speed.
My left leg was dead by the time I got home.
I bought a motorcycle and commuted on that when the weather was decent.
I went from using 10 gallons of gas a day...
