    Which bulb to use for MIL?

    I bought a 2006 Yukon SLT this past May. I noticed that the MIL light does not come on when I turn the ignition key. My code reader shows a P0650 code which indicates an open MIL circuit. I dismantled the instrument cluster and apparently someone in the past has removed the tiny LED which is to...

    New Spyder. Now P0300

    Jared, Is your Tahoe running bad all the time or just in certain specific situations? Are you getting the P0300 code every time you drive? Why did the shop suspect a bad fuel pressure regulator?

    This thread does a better job of showing how the tilt switch works. http://myweb.cableone.net/bcanderson/trooper/Hood/Hood.htm

    '99 Underhood lamp will not turn off

    The barrell shaped aluminum piece forms the contact between the bulb and the power wire. It slides within the plastic casing. As the hood is lifted, it forms a contact between the bulb and the orange power wire (pictured). As the hood is closed, it slides away from the power wire shutting off...

    '99 Underhood lamp will not turn off

    The switch is in the fixture. Since I could not find a pressure switch in the hood area, I removed the bulb fixture and disassembled it. The fixture itself contains the switch. I followed the suggestions of ezdaar and cleaned the contacts and made sure the metal barrell would move freely inside...

    '99 Underhood lamp will not turn off

    Thanks for the quick reply. I just came in from examining the entire hood area and I cannot find the switch. I pulled all the points made of rubber where the hood contacts the body and no switch. I have closely examined the hinges for the hood and cannot find any there either. Any other ideas...

    '99 Underhood lamp will not turn off

    Does anyone know where the on/off switch is located for the underhood lamp of a '99 4Dr 2wd? Mine had not worked for a long time until I replaced the bulb a few days ago and now it will only turn off when I disconnect it. I know some of the other body styles had the lamps with mercury switches...

    New Spyder. Now P0300

    Problem solved. You were right, SunLitComet. I did not know you could turn the motor over by hand once the spark plugs are removed. Thanks. By the time I installed the heads for the second time, I noticed the torque on the head bolts needed some attention. I had torqued according to the FSM...

    Why risk ripping the pulleys off if I do it by hand? Real men unbolt the cylinder heads with no tools.

    New Spyder. Now P0300

    Sorry. I meant the right bank cylinder head. I replaced that head gasket 2 days ago. While manually turning crankshaft balancer bolt to get #1 to TDC, I stripped that bolt. Ordered a new bolt and washer at local Chevy dealer which should be delivered today. Hopefully, will have time to work on...

    New Spyder. Now P0300

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I zeroed the dist out. Ended up taking it to dealer and they found no compression on cyl 6 and 8. I had it towed back to my house and have reinstalled a new head gasket on the left cylinder. Should finish installing the intake today and will report back results.

    New Spyder. Now P0300

    I have a 99 Tahoe w 5.7. For the past year have been getting P0300 when pulling a trailer. Followed the GM TSB and 2 weeks ago pulled both cylinder heads and found 3-4 valves binding on each head. Honed the valve guides and reinstalled the heads. Put in a new upgraded Delphi fuel spyder at the...
