    Help me with part terminology and number, RE: refrigerant pressure switch

    The parts diagram that show the accumulator doesn't show the sensor. I cannot find any diagrams that show either sensor, they omitted from every diagram I can find. Are you able to find the appropriate diagram? It's a 2005 Yukon XL SLT 5.3L flex engine

    Help me with part terminology and number, RE: refrigerant pressure switch

    I need the A/C refrigerant pressure switch for my 05 Yukon XL, it's the low pressure one located on the dryer. It seems the terminology of the high pressure and low pressure switches isn't being used consistently across vendors and I'm confused which one is being sold by various vendors. Some...

    Brake Buying advice

    Did you read the page you linked? I encourage you to look up the definition of conformed and burnish. They have nothing to do with transferring pad material to the rotors. As a matter of fact, the only place that is even mentioned was the opening line but none of the resources and data they gave...

    Brake Buying advice

    Straw man? I'm just pointing out the unpopular facts. Justify your expensive brakes all you want. But unless you're running performance tires and driving on perfect pavement your tires will lose traction long before you reach the limitations of normal quality brakes (we're not talking auto-store...

    I need TPMS Help

    If they miss so many signal transmissions in a row it trips that message. It's an indicator of dying batteries normally. If you're quick you can often cycle through your tire pressures quickly and see which lists "---" but often times by the time you see the message and react its already gone...

    Brake Buying advice

    That's why we see the OEMs and dealers out there bedding brakes after they're installed right? There is ZERO value to bedding ceramics so forget about that from the start; ceramic pad material doesn't transfer to the rotors like semi-met does. Never mind the fact that many brake manufacturers...

    Brake Buying advice

    I'm using Raybestos EHT3 (Enhanced Hybrid Technology) pads and Raybestos corrosion coated rotors along with Raybestos new-manufacture Optical Calipers w/ a lifetime warranty. So far I'm happy. I did notice a small bit of squeal the other day but I think it was a weather thing because that's the...

    Is the Denali Hands Down the Best Tow Vehicle?

    4WD isn't the same as AWD.... Denali is AWD, all 4 wheels being driven all the time... which means additional drivetrain losses. 4WD can have 2 wheels or all 4 driving. Not as much drivetrain loss as AWD. IMHO, you want 4.10 gears. 4.10 isn't all that common but they're out there. My XL has...

    Front differential. Rebuild or replace

    I think I saw most of your questions answered except this one. You need to make sure it's the same gear ratio. Look on the RPO codes in the glovebox, GU_ & GT_ codes are the gear ratios. GT4 is 3.73 & GT5 is 4.10 but I think the AWDs had lower ratios so yours should be GU_ Make sure it matches...

    Smoke at start up - Help!

    We just had this discussion a couple weeks back. Lots of good info posted by multiple people. Look around and see if you can find it.

    What do you guys think ???

    If it has 18 year old calipers you likely need new ones anyways. On my '05 (likely with the original calipers) they were fine until I installed new pads and pushing the piston back in got them to a point that they bound up. Not sure if there was sediment in them or what the culprit was but I had...

    2001 Z71 trans not shifting in this COOOOLD weather.

    If I'm not mistaken, when the trans is cold it holds gears to higher rpms and doesn't lock up the TCC until it reaches a set trans-temp then it operates normally. Did you pick up your speed a bit to see if it would shift? How about manually shifting it with the shifter on the column? Honestly...

    The Case for the Tech-2

    Just to note, some things are "flipping a switch"... IE, turning on HVAC afterblow, enabling TPMS or Spare-tire TPMS etc. Adding a camera on a newer model year would probably involve more in-depth changes that require TISweb

    Nbs Escalade ESV roof rack an appliques

    Didn't of Escalade Platinum have cooled seats? IIRC, there was a guy recently looking to swap cooled seat in, can't remember if he had the seats yet or not, but he was having trouble finding some of the other parts necessary. He may be interested in parts... What is the interior color if I...

    I need TPMS Help

    I would be tempted to try to activate them some other way to be sure they work... nothing worse that putting them in, putting the new tires on and finding out they don't work... I've never installed a new OEM so I don't know much about activating them.

    Stabilitrak and traction control warnings on ‘07 Yukon

    IMHO, if a guy owns/drives primarily GM vehicles I would pay up for the Tech II. You can reflash software to modules (free for pre-2008 IIRC, have to pay for late-models), and you can drill down into far more than just the SRS/ABS stuff. I can retrieve trouble codes for heated seats, power...

    I need TPMS Help

    I picked up Denso 550-2402 which is made as a drop in replacement for the OEM 05-06 sensors. They really were drop-in; put tires on and synced them up just like the OEM sensors. Many companies make "universal sensors". Those have to be programmed to initialize before they can be synced. Usually...

    Stabilitrak and traction control warnings on ‘07 Yukon

    Agreed, the Tech II is what the dealer used to scan all vehicles of this era before the new MDI scanners came along. I bought my clone for $308 and it has paid for itself already. I've successfully scanned: 98 GMC truck, 00 Buick Lesabre, 05 Yukon XL, 06 Suburban, 08 Buick Enclave, 08 Yukon...

    Was there a police silver, an actual silver silver?

    My brother's 06 Suburban has a short console like that.

    Was there a police silver, an actual silver silver?

    I can't answer your question, but clusters can be replaced, and they are a common failure item so it's possible it's had another cluster installed. However it would be a rare coincidence for it to be a 140 cluster as they aren't common. Furthermore, it's quite common for Chevy (lower trim...

    Common rust issue everyone needs to check for!

    Thanks for that, I was looking at my '05 wondering what he was talking about and then I couldn't remember where the thread was to ask for clarification... That being said, the rocker panels do still rust out. Does anybody know how to slow the progression of the cancer in the rocker panels?

    A leak on the parking brake passenger side

    They normally are solid steel. Only snap ring pliers I could see even coming close to bending a c-clip is the big 20" handle ones used for the big (6"+) rings in transmissions etc.

    Smoke at start up

    True but it can be hard to distinguish white from "blue" to the untrained eye.
