    Will 2006 Hatch Glass fit Earlier Models?

    Thanks for the information! I am located in SC so unfortunately I could not be farther away as it looks like you are in CA. I do appreciate the offer though. Not sure trying to ship it would be practical? I'd love to get it.

    Will 2006 Hatch Glass fit Earlier Models?

    I think I may have to replace my hatch glass on my 2005 Suburban (posted here because this question also applies to Yukon/Tahoe) due to the defroster not working. I have noticed that 2006 GMT800 Rear Hatch Glass is different than 00-05 Hatch Glass. The handle and overhead hinge assembly was...

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    Normally I just crank it right over. I have several other GM 5.3 vehicles of this vintage and it has never been an issue. Around the time all this started, I also had an intermittent issue where it would sometimes have to turn over for 6-8 seconds before cranking. Once that started, I did do the...

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    Well hate to say that it seems like I am close to being back at Square 1 with my issue. Suburban sat a week and when I cranked it up I got the same thing but did not seem quite as bad. Any other ideas on what to change out next? Again, it cranks right up but if it sits for an extended period, it...

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    I did not check for codes but did not have any CEL light events so I did not think I would find any codes. I did of course have CEL after I started the engine with the MAF disconnected. ECT sensor was the next thing I was planning to change. The temp gauge seems to be accurate and assuming there...

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    Just wanted to circle around and say that replacing the Mass Airflow Sensor solved the problem. I unplugged it and started smooth. Replaced with OEM Delphi MAF AF10043 from Rock Auto for about $80. May have been able to clean it but it did not look all that dirty and I figured I may as well...

    5w30 what oil to use

    You will get tons of answers on this one. I have logged several hundred thousand miles on my 5.3 engines with Mobil1 5W30 High Mileage and AC Delco filters. You can get a great deal on it at Wal Mart.

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    Thanks for the reply! I already changed out the fuel pressure regulator. On my year, it's built in to the fuel pump assembly. That resolved part of my problem but the cold rough start problem remains. I was thinking about the MAF sensor too. I wonder if I unplugged it and let the ECM use default...

    5.3 Rough Cold Start

    I have a 5.3L in my 2005 Suburban with 180K miles on it. Having an issue where on cold starts, (if it sits a couple days but normal 80 degree or so outside temp) when you start it, it starts right up but starts very rough. It kind of shudders a bit and sometimes causes the belts to squeal. It's...

    Electronic Defroster Slow to Defrost on Mirrors and Liftgate Glass

    I have a 2005 Suburban that I recently purchased to replace an 04 Yukon XL. I have noticed that when I turn on the electronic defrost, it is much slower to defrost than the Yukon XL was or my 05 Silverado. Both of them start melting the frost almost immediately once button is pushed but on the...

    Spark plug question

    AC Delco 41-962 Double Platinum. See AC/Delco Service Bulletin 13D-070. Amazon probably has the best price and there is an AC Delco rebate going on right now too.

    Limited Slip Additive or Not for 2004 2WD Yukon XL

    I have an 04 Yukon XL 2WD I want to change the rear diff fluid on. RPO GT4. I am finding all kinds of conflicting information on forums about whether to add limited slip additive or not. The only thing I have seen for certain is that you don't need the additive is you have a G80 RPO code Rear...

    Need Front Suspension/Frame Part Help Jounce Bumpers

    Thank you but I think that p/n might be for 2500HD chassis? I ended up going to the dealer yesterday and the GM part number they came up with was 15153959 for the front jounce bumpers. They arrived today and appear to the the same part I am looking for. Another forum suggested the part number...

    Need Front Suspension/Frame Part Help Jounce Bumpers

    I recently purchased a 2004 2WD Yukon XL. Going around fixing a few items and came across the suspension part pictured below. They are up front right behind the shocks. I thought they were bump stops but some research in forums suggest they are called "Jounce Bumpers". Can someone confirm what...

    what oil??

    I was told by the dealer it was Full Syn. That is all I know. Based on the fact that many of the Dexos1 Certified Oils appear to be Synthetic, I would say it is likely. I have noticed that some people use the term "Full Synthetic" when describing both Full and Blend so that is always a...

    what oil??

    Agreed, I personally have no idea for sure if switching back and forth between dino and syn will hurt or not but just going by what countless mechanics have told me so I figure it is more than just "urban legend". Honestly, I am not really sure why anyone would switch back and forth anyway...

    Where to buy motors for 00-02 GM gauges

    Not sure where you are in NC but there is a guy that has been advertising on CL for quite some time that will replace all stepper motors and lights for $90. I don't have any information other than the link but it seems like a good deal if he can fix yours. If nothing else he may be able to point...

    dexos

    You will see a "Dexos" certification stamp on the oil bottle. Essentially 2011+ is factory filled with Synthetic so you will want to continue that by using a Dexos compatible oil. This link will help you find compatible oil brands- http://www.gmdexos.com/licensedbrands/dexos1licensedbrands.html

    what oil??

    Here is my experience with my truck- I have 210K on my 05 Silverado with same 5.3 engine (although not VVT). I bought the truck new and ran conventional Dino oil until about 140K then switched to Full Synthetic Mobil One High Mileage. I started with the 3-4K oil changes at first but soon started...

    Steering wheel bulbs, why did GM do this?

    It sounds like you are talking about a NNBS Steering Wheel. Most of the comments here have been about the NBS Wheel. What year and model are you referring to?

    Who has best price for oem parts?

    GM Parts Direct has real good prices but many times, depending on the part(s) being ordered, the outrageous shipping and handling fees usually dilute the savings, making it close to a wash with what a dealer would charge- at least based on the parts I have ordered from them. Based on a...

    Steering wheel bulbs, why did GM do this?

    I was able to do the top two switches with little frustration but I ended up taking it do the dealer and having them do the bottom two. I am not sure what they did to get them in but the technicians were not happy about it. 1/2 inch more on the harness would have eliminated this problem. I...

    code p0430 check engine

    I had a similar code a year or two ago regarding one of the (4) O2 sensors on my 05 Silverado. Initially I thought I had a bad Sensor too but after I went under the truck, I noticed something had come up off the road and cut the wires to one of the O2 sensors. I repaired that cut with butt...

    OEM Backup Camera Rear View Mirror Install

    Has anyone installed the OEM backup camera and rear view mirror monitor combo? I found someone selling the Onstar/Video Monotor mirrors and soemone else selling the OEM cameras. The guy selling the mirrors claims that newer LT or LTZ Tahoe/Suburbans are pre-wired for everything making it almost...
