    Timing Chains

    Have a 97 Yukon 2 dr that I keep as near mint as possible. I always gave it regular syn oil changes and anything else it needed. Has 210K on it and I am considering a replacement timing chain as the motor seems to run a bit rough. Is there a definitive way to test the chain? And after seeing a...

    When I first bought the truck, I put 3 coats of wax on it and have been waxing it every year ever since. Wax works!

    Anyone Do A New Vinyl Job On The Interior?

    Welp, after doing more searching on the web with the only thing I found was a couple of others looking to do the same thing as me, I loosened the back end of the passenger side, side cargo panel from its clips. Only to discover the small panel I need to re-vinyl appears to be clipped to the...

    Anyone Do A New Vinyl Job On The Interior?

    After taking off the rear corner post molding to try to get the horizontal panel off below the window, I still can not figure out how this sucker goes together. The top of this narrow panel is clipped. But the bottom of it is a puzzle. With it being nearly 20 year old plastics, I sure how...

    Anyone Do A New Vinyl Job On The Interior?

    I use 3M for different things. I know they have several formulas for different materials. I`ll have to check it out to see if there`s something that is not permanent, in case it needs to be done again in the future. Thanks

    Anyone Do A New Vinyl Job On The Interior?

    Peeled back? Does your vinyl have a padded sponge backing? Mine does and doesn't seem like it would peel? I went to a fabric store today to see what is available. Seems I can get something there that is pretty durable. What year/interior color/2 or 4dr do you have?

    Anyone Do A New Vinyl Job On The Interior?

    I`m the original owner of a 97 2-dr Yukon. About a year ago my dogs tore up the back top panel just below the side glass. Each panel is about 5 ft wide and only about 8 in high (simple/easy shape). Looks like I can get this panel off and re-vinyl. Question is what kind of vinyl to use...

    Geez, ........ One Hell Of a P0151 ?

    Recently had a gas tank replaced (story in itself) on my 1997 Yukon 2dr. While there, I had a couple other things done/checked. One of which was to replace a O2 sensor that I had a engine light on for, but no symtoms. I had a new sensor on my shelf that I gave the mechanic to throw in, but as it...

    Rear Pinion Seal

    After talking with GMC directly, all they did was have my local dealer call me, as they did not have the info I wanted from the parts person I spoke with. So the local service manager calls and tells me he heard my conversation with the parts guy one counter away and couldn't understand the...

    Rear Pinion Seal

    Comet, .......... is the 10-15 in lbs preload the amount of torque measured at the turning yoke assembly (yoke nut) when all is assembled (shaft not attached), and wheels removed? Sorry for the need of clarification. Just trying to get all my info strait. ---------- Post added at 04:14 PM...

    Rear Pinion Seal

    Because my yoke nut was loose, I need to re-torque the whole thing with the crush spacer. So I go down to the dealer to buy a new crush washer and nut, then ask for the torque value. 470 lbs !!!!! I said can that be right? He said he never heard of a value that high. I made him go ask one of...

    Rear Pinion Seal

    Baffled, ............ spent a bunch of time researching and asking questions on how to/if I should change my rear pinion seal. So from everything I saw on YouTube, the yoke nut was hard to get out. Most used a impact driver and one fellow, having no luck with that, used a breaker bar...

    Opinions in four seasons AC compressor?

    Is there a good way to test the compressor? Been having a hard time getting good cold air from my system after a recharge.

    Rear Pinion Seal/Breather Repair

    Original owner of a 1997 Yukon 4WD 2DR. Been noticing a slow drip at the U-joint to the rear. Looks like a pinion seal? But, as the only work I am experienced at are basic fluid maintenance, drums/shoes, rotors/pads, starters, alts, etc. I researched a bit and read that the breather line can...

    AC Delco Brakes

    Anyone have an opinion of the two AC Delco pads offered. Advantage and Durastop. The Durastop`s are nearly twice the price, but are they worth it?

    A/C Re-Charge

    Thanks Ron for the advise: I still am a bit concerned about the warnings on my gauge. If I originally had 65 lbs before I added anything, why was my A/C not cold to begin with? After adding one can, why is it still 65 lbs? With the compressor going, it is at 45 lbs (from 30 lbs. before the...

    A/C Re-Charge

    Got one can in there. Took about 5 minutes or so. Compressor gradually stayed on longer to about 4-5 seconds every 15 seconds. The PSI with the compressor going went up to 45 psi and pretty much stayed the same with it off at 65 psi. Air temp noticeably cooler. Guess I`ll wait until a warm...

    A/C Re-Charge

    Yes, adding several cans now is my concern. My gauge reads: 10 - 15 psi = low 15 - 45 psi = full 45 - 65 psi = alert 65 - 100+ psi = danger So I am worried about the initial 65 lbs I am reading before I put anything in there. But, if it were that full, why am I not getting cold air...

    A/C Re-Charge

    Original owner of a 1997 YUKON 2dr with 205K miles on it. When engine runs, compressor kicks in for a second every 10 seconds or so, mild cool air blowing out of A/C. Figure I can dump a few cans of 134a in there and get`er working properly. When I hook up the hose gauge to the service...
