    Can I use the “better 2011” hydroboost?

    Can I use the 1781036 hydroboost unit (2011 MY only 2500HD)? Supposedly this is a better unit than the others. I have seen many use it on there gmt800 Duramaxes, just wondering if anyone has done it on a Tahoe or Yukon? Sounds like you’d just have to enlarge the hole to fit. My truck (05...

    I got the key low battery message yesterday on the DIC. Replaced battery. Still got the message after several trips and trying a (tested) new battery. Found another forum to turn the key to on and press unlock button on the fob when the message comes up, seems to have done the trick. Strange...

    Window regulator brands that aren’t junk

    What do you guys use for window regulator/motors assembly in the gmt800s. Right rear window died yesterday. First one to die on this truck at 201k. Rock auto doesn’t seem to offer GM or AC Delhi for RR. Aisin stuff is usually good. Would it be worth the $90 vs $36 for “whatever name”...

    FIX headlight/dimmer switch (not replace)

    Here’s what is usually wrong if your dimming lights are acting wonky. Plenty of YouTube videos on how to remove the switch. Just 4 screws and pry it apart.

    A friend is looking at a 2007 Tahoe LT w/125k tomorrow. I read the sticky, but honestly, not much real information in that. I have a 2005, is there anything we should look for or watch out for on the ‘07? I guess it has AFM, is there any tests or anything for that? What are other common...

    Universal joint opinions?

    What are the best reasonably priced u-joints for an 05 Yukon 2wd? There are quite a few available. Don’t want to spend $30 plus on each, but whatever it takes. Mine seem fine now, but closing in on 200k miles, seems like a cheap and easy preventive maintenance item. I’m bored lol. Non greasable...

    Can’t seem to figure this out. Thinking of refreshing the seats. Light Gray code is 922. But the SEM seems to call for “medium grey” which looks way too dark. Is that right? It’s an 05 Yukon

    Intermediate steering shaft and bearing fail

    Well i replaced the ISS and the plastic bearing thing inside. Now it’s 3x as loud and clunks a lot more lol. Maybe the actual bearing came out of the plastic thing when I was working in there? The whole shaft knocks and wobbles with my hand when I’m down there, just grabbing and shaking with my...

    Temp 3/4 way high, fan growling

    Noticed my temp was way higher than normal, and the fan was super loud when I pulled in to work this morning. Curiously, when doing 65-70, temp indicated hotter than when I parked and idled, it went down. I’d expect the opposite. Haven’t had time to look at it yet...
