    Brake problems Again...

    So my 97 Yukon was having the brake problem where right before the truck would come to a complete stop the abs would kick in and sometimes for any low speed braking. I did some research and found out it could be the wheel speed sensors, so I replaced both and all was good and fixed. Now 4 months...

    Aftermarket radio problems...

    So my original radio in my 97 Yukon decided that it didn't want to play cassettes anymore and that's a problem for my XM. So I installed a pioneer head unit I had laying around and all was great.

    Rebuilt transmission problems... Again...

    So the 4L60E in my 97 Yukon crapped out on me about a month or two ago and I had it rebuilt by a reputable shop near where I live. About 2 weeks after it was rebuilt my OD was back to having problems and 1-2-3 shifting was rough. So it was pulled out of the truck and repaired under warranty...

    Drivers seat is loose?

    My 97 Yukon drivers seat has developed some looseness (tilting) to it. I can move the seat about a half inch to an inch just by pushing on the head rest.

    Random hard shifting

    My 1997 Yukon 4wd has started randomly shifting hard between 1st and second and it only happens every so often. It seems to only happen after driving the truck for more than 45 minutes. Could this be something electronic? Because I really don't think my trans is starting to go.

    Is Gibson a good exhaust system?

    I have a 1997 Yukon 4dr 4wd and I found a Gibson #615508 on CL that the seller says is brand new in box. Is this a good setup to run? How loud is it? And will it give a HP gain? He's asking $475 I offered him $400.
