    2006 Tahoe Liftgate Door Switch

    So I recently replaced the rear liftgate lock actuator.... and now, while it locks and unlocks properly again... the lights wont turn off & "liftgate open" warning is on. I do not see a switch for it, I dont see any for the other doors either. Im assuming some genius decided to change the...

    Liftgate won't unlock

    There is no seperate relay for the hatch. I suspect your lock actuator is bad. Watch the video I posted, it shows you how to get the door open. The replacement isn't too difficult.

    Smashed Spark Plug

    Also had someone else tell me it was a lost cause because putting a new head on my old block would cause excessive oil consumption and somehow damage valves.... Sounds like BS to me, but what yall think?

    Smashed Spark Plug

    So worst case is the surface of the piston is damaged and needs to be replaced? If the piston looks acceptable, then I don't need to worry about anything in the bottom end? Otherwise I can get a new head for a few hundred bucks and be done

    99 Yukon 5.7..... No start. Have spark and fuel(?)

    Hard to say. I towed it home and checked the pressure a few days later. First few times I just turned the key on and got 55psi.... I thought maybe the pressure drops when I crank it so I tried to start it with the gauge attached and it fired right away and has started ever since... no chance...

    99 Yukon 5.7..... No start. Have spark and fuel(?)

    Well... the coil may have been a fluke. Son of a ***** died on me in the middle of an intersection.... towed home. Same thing. NO start. Still have spark and could smell fuel. Replaced the Crank and Cam pos sensors, just because I already had them in the garage. Still no start, but we can...

    Finding mystery squeal

    Its close, not as flush as the picture though I did it as far as I could. The installer would only go so far.

    Finding mystery squeal

    99 Yukon, 5.7 Had a shitty ps pump that I thought was the cause ... But after replacing it Ive still got the squeal. Sounds like a bearing more than the belt. Alt, ps, idler and tensioner are all new, less than 10k. Wp probably has 20k on it. With a serpentine belt, how can,you determine...

    Shredded serpentine belt

    Its pretty close to that... I got the installer to the point that there is no resistance anymore, doesnt seem possible to get the pulley on any farther. But it does definitely look better than before and it lines up well with the crank pulley. Slap a belt in there this afternoon and see how...

    Shredded serpentine belt

    99 Yukon, 5.7 Changed out my PS pump yesterday and this afternoon I could hear an odd noise on acceleration/higher rpms... Popped the hood and found a strip of my belt, maybe 1/8 inch wide had separated from,the rest of the belt..... And that strip was wrapped around the fan, slapping around...
