Engine issues
Well, start by replacing the fan clutch if it's not working...and go from there. Welding a washer/nut on the broken bolt works. I've done this before, but on engines that have been out of the vehicle or heads on workbench. You can remove the wheel plastic shield and tire and get a direct...- strutaeng

Stripped head bolt hole
I was also wondering if the right angle drills would be of any help. Like the slower RPM used by electricians/plumbers for drilling holes between studs. They are high torque/low rpm. What kind of head bolts were you using? Did you clean the bolt holes? I took a few old head bolts and cut some...- strutaeng

Gear ratio question
Says it's either 3.73 or 4.10. I didn't know they used those gears on the 2015-2020 trucks?- strutaeng

I want to convert the conventional steering to rack and pinion on an 01 GMC Yukon. Help please!
It would help to tell us why you are thinking about doing this. I don't know the answer or if it's even possible, but maybe someone here knows. The early GMT800 2wd trucks have rack and pinion, 4x4 got gearbox. I'm pretty sure it's related to coil spring vs torsion bars suspension differences...- strutaeng

2001 Chevy Tahoe Wiring Harness
Cool. Hopefully you can source a nice clean harness. The engine/transmission harness actually does not go into the cab or cluster. There's like 3-4 connectors at the fuseblock for the engine/transmission harness (4x4 models have an extra connector the T-case) and the other main connection is at...- strutaeng

2001 Chevy Tahoe Wiring Harness
Understand. Most (if not all) of the connectors can be bought and replaced. I made this post a few months ago: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/how-to-re-loom-your-ecu-engine-transmission-wiring-harnesses.143808/ I've since removed the engine for a rebuild. I replaced the coolant...- strutaeng

TTY head bolts with engine in-vehicle
A final update. Been daily driving the 'ol burban again. Everything seems A-okay. The cam low end torque is very nice. I like it! :) I've since racked up a little over 600 miles; a mix of city and highway, moderate throttle with a few WOT pulls on the steepest grades around here (not many...- strutaeng

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I'm a structural engineer and focus on existing buildings assessment, evaluations and repairs. This is a building they are renovating in Lubbock. A few months ago I looked at another building in Midland. Yes, everything out there is oil/gas. It's crazy business. My company has a separate...- strutaeng

01 Shutting off no crank, no start.
The way the VATS works is: engine cranks and fires, but the ECU will kill both injector pulse, spark and fuel pressure instantaneously. It basically and dies immediately. Agree: that doesn't sound like your symptoms... In your situation, you may have more than one issue going on...- strutaeng

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Coming back home I realized the AC wasn't working on my 99 Silverado (DFW to Lubbock for job visit.) Got home and checked fuses and relay and everything was good. I decided to check the belt and it had snapped. Doh! When I parked at the hotel the night before I do remember I heard a weird...- strutaeng

1999 tahoe misfire on cylinder 8 after having new spider injector/pressure regulator replaced
You would probably have 2 misfire codes if injectors were reversed, I think. I mean, any new part can be faulty even before you open the box. Why don't you ask him to recheck the fuel pressure? If the new assembly is bad, the fuel pressure would drop I'm guessing? This is why mechanics don't...- strutaeng
