    Transmission Rebuild

    Got my truck back. They ended up knocking almost $1k off what I was originally quoted because it wasn't as bad as they thought before they opened it up. Maybe I just got lucky with my local AAMCO, but I'm happy with what I got, especially since I'm probably trading it in on a new truck anyway...

    Transmission Rebuild

    I saw that the codes were saying solenoids, but the transmission shop said it was also binding up. The truck wouldn't move in any gear or reverse, but it seemed like it wanted to. It was doing exactly the same thing in neutral.

    Transmission Rebuild

    I don't know. Maybe I mixed up the labor for replacement versus rebuild. Their price seems in line with most of what I've seen, though, and they have a better reputation than the other transmission shops here.

    Transmission Rebuild

    It's our local AAMCO. 2 year warranty includes parts and labor. I don't mind paying a bit more. I already had it towed to the shop and that was free, unless I don't have it repaired there. At this point, saving a few hundred in labor isn't worth it. As long as $3250 isn't a complete rip off, I'm...

    Transmission Rebuild

    Reman transmission was going to be over $4k. The rebuild includes a 2 year warranty.

    Transmission Rebuild

    My 2008 Yukon Denali went into limp mode last night and threw codes p0700, p0751, and p0777. I pulled to the side of the road, put it in park and shut it off. When I started it back up, while in gear, it wouldn't move. It felt like it was trying to, but barely. It behaved the same way in...

    Electrical Problems

    New alternator completely resolved these issues. Until tonight. I drove my truck up the road to grab some things at the store. On the way home, I got the Stabilitrak error and my navigation unit lost power. Pulled into the driveway and shut it off. It was completely dead again. After it sat...

    Electrical Problems

    I was able to get the new alternator installed and everything looks good so far. I'll keep driving it and monitoring it until I can upgrade the wiring .

    I just went ahead and ordered an alternator. I'll be able to get it swapped out and upgrade the wiring next week.

    Electrical Problems

    I'm getting 0.6 ohms testing the ground from the battery to the engine block. I didn't unplug the battery. I thought that was a bad thing on newer vehicles? Is that OK to do on ours?

    Electrical Problems

    I took a few measurements of the alternator and battery: Battery (not running): 11.90V Battery (running): 11.57V Alternator: 11.83V I didn't check any of the ground because I'm not supposed to "work on" my car in the parking lot here. Anything specifically I should check?

    Electrical Problems

    Ok, dropped the red top from my truck in it and it fired right up. Drove it home with everything off including lights. Battery light on and same message to service the charging system. Looks like a new alternator and cable upgrade when I can get it into a garage. I'll test everything out this...
