    2012 Yukon xl 4x4 eating antifreeze?

    Let me start off with the fact that she runs perfectly. She's got the 5.3, no hiccups, no codes, no rough idle, live stream on the scanner shows no reds, etc. I have a generic scanner, but it's able to do almost everything a dealer scanner can do. She's got 275k miles on her and she purrs like...

    What to do lol

    So, I just got a 2012 SSV that was used as an offroad vehicle for the police, it has a slight lift and what not, I am wondering what can I do performance wise or wheels and tire wise to an SSV. The reason I say that is because not a lot of people seem to have SSVs (4x4) in the 5.3 If anyone can...

    IAT Always Reads 32°

    Earlier this year, I solved a cold start issue with my 2008 Yukon XL (5.3 LMG) by replacing my ECT sensor. I discovered a few other issues along the way to that fix and one of those issues is that my intake air temperature consistently reads 32°, regardless of environmental conditions or engine...

    Idles rough coming to stop

Runs a whole lot better now but when I am coming to a stop the RPMs drop below 500 and shudders a bit then levels off then the RPMs bounce around...

    Hey guys, sorry for the dumb question, but I've searched the forum several times as well as Google and haven't found an answer.

    I have a 2005 Yukon XL with the 5.3 in it. I’ve had an airbag issue where the light will come and go, and it is always for code B0044. I recently fixed my parking brake, and as I’ve been using it I’ve begun to notice that a few times i put the parking brake on, my airbag light would go away if...

    New to the site and new to me 05 Yukon 5.3

    Just picked up a clean 05 Yukon 5.3 with 120k. But man she is ugly. Way to much chrome and sits way to high in the back. Other than that, I like this truck a lot so I'll probably be the annoying new guy with a million questions.

    2008 chevy tahoe Bad negative battery cable

    This is a video taken a few years ago when my tahoe wouldn't start, the solution ended up being to replace the negative battery cable then the problem never happened again. A good test is to grab the negative battery cable and jerk it around, if the Tahoe starts after that you'll know you found...

    2005 Yukon XL 5.3 L59 to LM7

    We have a 2005 Yukon XL with 212,000 miles. It’s a western car so no rust. Lifter started making noise a week or so ago, mechanic thinks the roller isn’t spinning this scratching the cam shaft. Instead of doing a top end job, I’m thinking about a engine with less miles. Around me I can’t find...
