    Alternator going bad?

    It took a while for me to get used to the way they show charge now, depending on load. I had to have it explained to me and now I don't give it a second thought. Your alternator and system may well be working as designed and be just fine.

    Hello from Eastern NC!

    Yea, been some years since I was in shops and saw no need to re-certify. I have the expired certs if need to show. I am retired now and work out of my home or at a close shop with a friend/owner. I pretty much pick and choose what I want to work on.

    Alternator going bad?

    If is actually not charging correctly, intermittently, those injectors are firing off of the battery and so are a lot of other components. You can make leads extensions with some alligator clips and 12 gauge wire that is long enough to reach under the hood and snake in the cab and then attach...

    Alternator going bad?

    You saw it intermittently working on the gauge. Attach a DVOM with long enough leads, and drive it again.

    Hello from Eastern NC!

    Worked in and ran independent shops for 40+ years and am now retired but still work on the side in my garage. May be doing a part time thing at a friend's shop soon but money is still to be discussed. I was laid off from the shops during that same economy dump and collected unemployment for...

    Squeaking noise STILL driving me crazy

    Listened to video and could not hear a squeak noise. Based off of what you said, does sound like a stuck caliper piston or a brake hose breaking down on the inside.

    Those were options for that truck and your RPO code tells you what it actually is.

    New Ignition w/New keys

    So, you are saying that NOW, when you insert the key and turn the tumbler, it spins/rolls freely and the ignition switch teeth move freely?

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    Looks to have easily exposed bolts/nuts and this is a rust free state. No rust on this truck.

    New Ignition w/New keys

    If an ignition switch was replaced, it may not have had the gear teeth aligned properly when installed.

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    Neighbor drove the F150, recent engine/transmission swap truck, from Eugene, Oregon to Ridgefield, Wa. today and back. Said the truck ran smooth and never missed a beat and all fluids look good.

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    Looks like my next job at the shop in JC, Oregon will be an engine replacement in a 2015 3500HD Duramax crew cab. Doing research now and looks like will be lifting the crew cab off the frame and exposing the engine for the engine swap. I have watched 6 videos of doing this and looks like I...

    From a no rust area

    It was originally listed at $9400 and dropped to $7800. Plus it now says price is firm. In the old higher $ add, it did not say FIRM.

    Extended Warranty

    In the words of "Let's Go Brandon"....Don't! You should have started a savings account just for that vehicle, right after you bought it. In the end, the odds are the money spent out of that fund is cheaper than a God Awful extended warranty. If you do go ahead and buy one.....read the damn thing.

    I want to convert the conventional steering to rack and pinion on an 01 GMC Yukon. Help please!

    Easiest way to convert? Buy a rack and pinion truck, like a GMT900.

    Should I be hesitant to buy a 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate?

    If you can afford it and want it bad enough, get it. IMO, all of them are way over priced and the best bang for the buck is an older GMT800 and find the low mileage rust free one you want and then use some of that money and make it yours. Then have a huge party with all the left over money...
