    HUGE problem with brakes! Please help!

    I had a similar sounding problem show up a couples months back on my '99. No noise with emergency (Drums) so it had to be front. Found one outer pad was worn down to metal, inner pad not worn much at all. After missing it at first, found that one of the anchor bolt sleeves in the caliper was...

    Using Dexron VI instead of Dexron III

    Just a suggestion that I haven't seen here yet. No matter how much mileage you already have on the transmission, start changing SOME fluid at every engine oil change--or even more often. Easy to do with a 1/2" nylon tube down the dipstick tube hooked up to a clear juice jar receiver then out to...

    Do you always have to cut it out

    LAST FALL FINISHED TWO AREAS ON MY '99. ONE WAS A TRIBLE PANEL INTERSECTION--TOUGH AREA TO FAB FROM SCRATCH, SO USED KBS COATINGS PRODUCTS TO TRY TO KILL THE RUST. JOB MIGHT LAST, BUT, NOT LOOKING CERTAIN!! THIS, BY THE WAY WAS BECAUSE A PLASTIC PLUG ABOVE THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HAD BEEN...

    Fuel pump

    First time I had any problem with fuel system('99 4 Dr Yukon) it was just like you describe--just not in every ones way. So much water had accumulated in the tank that the fuel line was all water at the supply line fitting by the firewall. After leaving it open, wrapped with rags, water purged...

    2011 Escalade ESV Engine Replacement

    Heed what wjburken said: With just the valve cover(s) removed, all you can see--or feel--is a loose push rod and rocker that is a collapsed/stuck lifter(s). BTW, just to cover all comedies, I once found a major racket like this to be a pushrod that had speared a rocker arm---became a one piece...

    Transmission cooling lines

    I replaced the lines in our '99 Yukon with Delco originals as suggested by their popularity on Rock Auto. The lower line wasn't bad. But, the upper line was just as NOREVERSEYUKON says. Old line was so rusted that it easily folded in the middle for easy removal!! That rust is why I changed it...

    Tranmission Fluid Replacement

    I've used the SNOWDRIFTER method for the past ~160k miles on our 1999 Yukon SLE. I do it [almost!] every engine oil change because I fear a step change in oil chemistry and I only get about 1 3/4 qts each time. Used Dexrons, now Dexron VI. The car has 209k miles on it now and with that, the...

    Idle question

    My '99 does this sometimes--sporadic. It's a rock steady 600 usually; 800 first starting from cold. It only does it on transient of warm up or cool down. Example, if I start it for a minute just to move it to another parking space, shut it down then start it again after a minute, it won't hold...

    Brake Pedal Pulsing And Wheel Pulling Occasionally

    Watching to see how things turn out on this one, guys. Mine does this too---and it's occasional, most of the time not. Doesn't yank the wheel at all, but, it's annoying and says something's wrong. With this problem over time I've replaced the discs, rotated the tires, replaced the...

    Another Tahoe, Another Rough Idle

    Hello Members, I only recently joined the forum so I just saw for the first time that rough idle is a frequent problem. Sorry I didn't see it sooner. I've had lots of experience with rough idles in our 1999 Yukon that may match your problems even though great difference in vehicle model dates...
