    Replacing Fuel Pump in a 2004 Tahoe- Step by Step

    Great right up, put a new Delphi pump in mine yesterday. It's been not cranking on 1st try for about 4 months. Was not too difficult on a lift.

    Metal on Metal when turning right??

    I ended up putting new pads all the way around (front needed them anyway) new rotors on the front, changed wheel bearings all 4 corners, realigned the front end and replaced a tie rod end. It was one of those as the noise is gone. WB

    Metal on Metal when turning right??

    Riding home from the in-laws today and I noticed when turning right at around 10 mph, there was a metal on metal sound from the drivers side of the vehicle. It didn't do it when turning left, just right. It didn't do it all the time, just once or twice riding through the neighborhood. Could...

    Radar dectors?!!?!?!??

    Nothing but good things to say about the Escort / Passport radar detectors. I am 39 years old, had various varieties since I was 18, and I have had Escort brands in my vehicles for the last 10 years. I'm not an excessive speeder, but I like to know where they are, and like the fact they give...

    fuses

    There is a big fuse panel under the hood on top of the left front fender that has the trailer power fuse in it. Pop that cover, flip it over and you should see the fuse. Can't remember if it is 10 or 15. I had the same issue with the cigarette lighter popping fuses. 12v outlet never popped a...

    There is a recall out for the spare tire / release mechanism. Had mine fixed this week. I spent an hour trying to get the spare out a few weeks back, finally gave up and called AAA to have it towed home. WB

    06 Yukon XL - transmission??

    It wasn't bad at all. But you will make a mess. I left the pan off overnight and let it drain, and I still had fluid all over everything. There are tons of pieces and parts, but take your time and pay attention to what you are doing. The hardest part is the pan out from around the exhaust. I...

    06 Yukon XL - transmission??

    I had some left over from a rebuild kit I had done earlier on my OBS tahoe, and the plastic / rubber ones worked out of a powerglide rebuild kit I had leftover. I'm sure NAPA or Oreilly would have them, I got the solenoids from OReilly. WB

    06 Yukon XL - transmission??

    Well, here are the culprits. "A" and "B" are the shift solenoids. each comes on for a different shift, and then both come on for the final shift. Neither one of them made a difference when I changed them. The other 2 are PWM (that might not be the correct term)downshift solenoids. I don't...

    06 Yukon XL - transmission??

    No, I don't think a rebuild is in order. It is not surging / flaring, or hunting for gears. The computer scanner shows it is going into 3rd and 4th, so that makes me think it is 1 of the 4 solenoids in the transmission case itself. If it was hydraulic or computer electrical, I would think it...

    06 Yukon XL - transmission??

    Wife called me the other night on the way home. Truck will not shift out of 2nd gear. It's not flaring in 2nd, just won't shift out that gear. Ideas? Pulling the pan of tonight to see what's up. No codes, CEL is off. WB

    Getting message?:"Tighten Gas Cap" or are you Unable to fill your tank? ! Look here !

    This is an excellent write-up!! I never had a "tighten fuel cap" error come up, but since buying this vehicle, I have had issues @ the fill up station with it pumping for a while and then clicking off the nozzle like it was full. I replace this part over the weekend, and took it the gas -...

    Windshield wiper fluid--MAJOR leakage

    X2 on the pumps....the hose you can get there too, just have to cut it and re-route yourself, I believe it is 1/4" hose. I bought a reservoir from GM for $51 thinking that was the leak, but found out it was the rear pump....replaced reservoir, pumps, and lines, as I didn't want to go back in...

    06 Yukon - Front Passenger seat

    My Front Passenger seat power seat switches are not working. Looked through the manual and found a circuit breaker, but it runs the driver's side also, and it is working fine. The heaters for the passenger seat are working fine also. I checked all the connections under the seat, look...

    Sold the Hoe

    $5500..... he knows how I am with my vehicles, and just asked how much money to bring to the house. I changed oil every 3K, trans fluid every 30K. That thing was cherry, I tell you that. WB

    Sold the Hoe

    Finally gave in and let it go. Ordered her new in May '99, little over 130K miles later.... it's at a new home. Replaced it as a daily driver little over a year ago with a newer model, it just wasn't being driven, and at the company christmas party, I let a co-worker talk me into selling it...

    Lifts in the garage

    Still haven't pulled the trigger on the lift. Keep using friends up the street for oil changes, I still can't justify the $$$ for the lift, and with moving it in and out of the garage, it may be more pain than it's worth. WB

    Rear Windows

    When you say window lock is not on, you mean the window lock on the drivers' window switch, or the child-lock on the side of each rear door? Did you check the fuses in the panel on the side of the dash @ the drivers door? WB

    Water Pump

    If it's leaking out of the weep hole, and its a cold water leak, it won't stop unless you replace the gasket and o-ring......but IMO, go ahead and replace it anyway....you are going to take it off to replace those parts, right? Might as well put a new, or rebuilt one back on it. That way, if the...

    What do you tow??? Lets see it! Travel Trailer and Toy Hauler

    I usually pull it with a different truck, but I wanted to try out the Yukon. I took it down the highway today, pulled @ 65 pretty good. Stopped alot better than I thought it would too. Don't plan to pull it with the Yukon unless the truck is not available. Trailer and all the contents...
