    Headlight bulb replacement to led?

    I use Diode Dynamics in my dad's 07 Sierra. Low and high beams. They are bright. They are nice, but one will go out every 2-3 years. They have a new design now that incorporates the ballast into the bulb now too. His passenger side is getting dim currently, so replacing that will be on his third...

    Remote Start Troubleshooting

    Thank you so, so much. I really appreciate that! I have been researching the answers for a long time now. I COMPLETELY forgot about White's! That is probably going to be the route to go with it. It seems it is $199.99 to have one programmed. While I would love to do it myself. The cost of the...

    Remote Start Troubleshooting

    Hello, sorry I do not have an answer or any help to this. But have a quick question regarding the Tech2. Is it able to program codes into the BCM? Long story short, my dad's 07 sierra has all the antennas, RPO codes and what not needed for remote start, but it didn't come with the code in the...

    Liftgate Motor Support Strut Part Number

    Yeah, I am not opposed to it. I just found it surprising that I couldn't find one right away. And like I stated, I can't find the actual size of it anywhere. Mine is significantly smaller than the outer left and right. I would like to confirm that with anyone as well. I thought about the...

    Liftgate Motor Support Strut Part Number

    Hello! I am trying to replace the lift support on the actual motor of the Liftgate. I cannot find a general replacement for it. I have found the GM part which is 15836293. I can find it on GM sites and Rockauto for about $60. I would like to find a lesser expensive one like Stabilus and so on...

    Engine Pinging

    Lol it is very tempting. It's a great vehicle. Has a few cosmetic things wrong (turn signal stalk sticks, notorious center console lid wear and trim is bent, center console cup holder lid won't stay closed, back seats have some side trim missing), but nothing major. Going to put a full detail on...

    Engine Pinging

    Through Ebay, Butler Auto Recycling to be specific. https://www.ebay.com/str/butlerautorecyclinginc They were great, cost was a little on the high side, no core charge though. 90 day warranty. I contacted them as it was still in warranty, I told what steps I have done and told them that the...

    Engine Pinging

    Just to give an update on this in case that someone stumbles across a similar issue. I was able to pull the spark plug on cylinder 5 and stick a camera in there attached to the scan tool. Found what looks like a hole in the piston. It was a used motor, so I contacted the place that I received it...

    Engine Pinging

    Didn't pull the plug this weekend, but did last weekend and it looked fine. Not wet, not black or anything. Swapped it with cylinder 1, nothing happened. Swapped it with 2 other spark plugs from the old motor, no change. I'm leaning towards a possible lifter or I pinched a wire somewhere somehow.

    Engine Pinging

    Yeah, I get that. I'm not knocking your idea or anything, I appreciate you giving me your insight. I just don't think it's a possibility with the gas I just purchased. I've been using the same Chevron for 15 years and put it in everything I own. From the pressure washer, up to my Camaro that I...

    Engine Pinging

    I got the fuel from Chevron. 91. It was only 6 gallons. I don't know how to test it, it smelled like gas lol. And it definitely smelled better than what was coming out when I dropped the tank. Compression check will be next. This weekend hopefully. Also, I'm going to borrow a fancy scanner...

    Engine Pinging

    Also, I did swap spark plugs with cylinder 1. No change. I then swapped coil and wire with cylinder 1, no change. I removed the valve cover and all the rockers moved in what seemed like normal fashion. My next step is to get one of those camera scopes and check inside cylinder 5. I'm pretty...

    Engine Pinging

    Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't getting notifications and decided to check the forum this morning. I will look at that B12 some more. I have added cleaners, not necessarily octane booster. The cleaners were Lucas, and Amsoil. They both said it should eliminate the predetonation...

    Engine Pinging

    Hello again! 13 Yukon Denali L94, around 195k on replacement motor. Many of you helped with my recent engine replacement, well the next one is in and I can't figure out what the issue may be. The engine is pinging. Not knocking, not ticking. At first, I thought it was bad gas, and I still...

    What Would You Do?

    Just an update on this, I finally got the motor out and a used one put in. Found a used one on Ebay. Higher priced than I would have liked, but no core charge. Firstly, I took the motor mounts off the block to give me some more room. Wasn't enough. It moved a lot more, but the oil pan started...

    What Would You Do?

    Not a bad idea, but I'm trying to not have to replace motor AND trans. Just motor. But worse comes to worse, good to have that idea

    What Would You Do?

    Trying to keep it as straight as possible. Hard with having to get over the motor mounts on the frame. Will try to remove them from the motor on my next attempt.

    What Would You Do?

    Anything special to pulling it from the tranny or is just like anything else? Yanked and yanked and yanked on it for quite some time with no avail. Was thinking of trying to get a spreader of some sort to help assist.

    What Would You Do?

    Hey everyone! Project is still underway and still looking for a motor. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. At this time, it's been put on hold just because of weather here and had a vacation and other things. I have the motor ready to come out. My only issue I'm having is the torque converter...

    What Would You Do?

    Interesting! Thank you. Yes, I have found a few that were a couple hundred dollars less than the L94. I thought it to be a little funny. I will have to think about it and look at some more options for sure. Thank you to everyone that has replied!

    What Would You Do?

    This was my third option I was looking at. A gen 4 6.0. My second option was looking at a L92 and then just tuning out DOD. For some reason I can get a L92 a few hundred dollars less than a L94. My question comes back to, how much, if any, would the vehicle devalue with a stock 6.0 instead of...

    What Would You Do?

    Sell it as is right now? Or do you mean like take the motor and send it on its way? My initial investment is almost nothing. I paid very, very little for it. So if I can get a motor for 2k, install and sell for 10k, I would profit 8k. And it is in very good shape. Has the normal wear and tear...

    What Would You Do?

    I've thought about this as well. I wasn't sure how much this would devalue the vehicle. Although I can find them cheaper, I'd then need it to get tuned to it. Same with finding a gen 4 6.0.

    What Would You Do?

    Sweet thanks for the reply. I'm not too concerned with the budget right now. Because at first, when I wanted to keep it, I went straight to Texas speed for a forged short block lol. And you're correct, around 5k. Now with the intent on selling. My budget has seemed to become much lower as I...

    What Would You Do?

    Hello! New here and wanted to get some opinions on what I should do. Back in November, I acquired a 2013 Yukon XL Denali in great shape, with a seized motor (I knew it was), for VERY cheap. It has 200k on the odometer. My initial plan was to fix it and keep it as I love the Suburbans/Yukons...
