    Heater control module bad?

    Did the reset and didn't help. Fan only blows on 5. Got another can and filled the system and compressor came on and cold air came out. Pressure needle went well into the green. Then it started dropping. I have a leak somewhere. Time to take it to a professional.

    Too much trailer for my Yukon?

    Luckily, I live close to some beautiful areas to camp in, so I can go around 30 miles and be in wilderness. When I was shopping for RVs, I was looking at new 18' models at around 3k pounds. This thing is a tank and I'm worried going too far is going to destroy my transmission. Even without...

    Too much trailer for my Yukon?

    My elderly father agreed to let me use his travel trailer for the season if I cleaned it up and maintained it. He told me it was a 22'. It's not. Its a 24' and really is bigger than what I wanted, but the price is good. It's a 2003 and dry weight is 4700lbs. With full tanks and gear, I'd...

    Heater control module bad?

    Sorry if it's been addressed somewhere else, but my laptop does not agree with this forum and it runs super slow, so searches are taking forever. 2005 Yukon with 96k miles. AC worked perfect last Fall. Got warmer and tried to use it a couple of weeks ago and no cold air. AC compressor not...

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    Road test went awesome! Ride is definitely firmer now, but no more bouncing and leaning. Very, very happy with the results. Hopefully it will handle towing my little camper and UTV better, now.

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    Got in all the parts and the snow finally melted off my lower driveway so had time to do the install today. Local shop bid the job at $338 for labor only. Took me just over two hours. Very non-technical job. Hardest part was getting the rig in the air high enough and safe enough. My floor...

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    Ended up ordering the Moog coils for $60 delivered through Amazon. Then did some searching and found some very favorable reviews of the Monroe Gas Magnums. They were $42 each on Amazon, but further searching found WalMart online selling them for $25 each. So went with those for $55...

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    Did some more digging and found Moog replacement coil springs on Amazon for $55. Part # 81069. These supposedly are replacements for the Z71 coils and are much beefier than the ZM7 coils. So, I could buy those, plus standard shocks at $50 each, and be good to go. Only question now is what...

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    Found another source for the coilovers and it seems that they are designed to replace the air shock system, which I believe uses a standard strength coil instead of the weaker ones with the ZW7... "Rear New Electronic to Passive Conversion Kit (150G-30-R-RES) by Suncore®. Quantity: Sold as a...

    Cheapest work around for the ZW7 rear shock replacement?

    I didn't think the post really fit in the "street suspension" forum since it's 4wd and I use it off-road, and not looking to lift it (but wouldn't mind an extra inch or so...That's what she said...). If a mod thinks it is better suited somewhere else, go for it... So, 2005 Yukon, 92k miles or...

    NIVOMAT Shock Replacement Input Needed.....

    92k miles on a 2005 and mine apparently went out this week after a couple of days of negative temps. Vehicle rode and drove fine on Friday, then after -5 degree night, it felt weird and the back bounces up and down. Let it sit a couple of days in warmer weather and drove it and still bad...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    They are just one size larger; 265/75/16. Basically a 32" tire. Front is leveled with torsion bar crank. Seems to work perfectly as it rides and handles great.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Washed, waxed, and detailed my Yukon. Also installed some new blue LED DRLs. But, I think they are too blue; will likely get pulled over.

    What vehicle related issue did you have today?

    Discovered that my right brake light was burned out so I went to AutoZone and decided to upgrade to LED lights. Put them in, looked good and went to work. Discovered that now the cruise control doesn't work. Weird. Installed some regular bulbs and cruise control started working again. My...

    What vehicle related issue did you have today?

    Now the check engine light is back on... I was spoiled by driving a 2014 Ram the past 4 years. Not a single issue. Trading this in on a new 4Runner as soon as all credit cards are paid off.

    What vehicle related issue did you have today?

    Kept getting an intermittent check engine light after I installed the new CAI and someone suggested disconnecting the battery to re-set the MAF. Un-hooked it for a few minutes, then hooked it back up and headed into town for a dinner date. Discovered that my HVAC controls no longer worked...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Kept getting a check engine light come on when my Yukon was going down the highway with the cruise on and it had to downshift and rev to get up a hill. Stopped by Autozone and had it read since for some reason my SCT tuner wouldn't read it. Code was P0101, which is for the MAF. I installed a...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Installed the Go Rhino roof rack today. Second one I had ordered. First one came so badly damaged I couldn't use it. This one showed up with three small dents and no mounting hardware. Amazon refunded me some money and I just bolted it on myself using some redneck ingenuity. I like the...

    First trip into the woods... Gonna need some changes.

    Those look like Toyo RT tires... Nice, but very spendy!

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Got in a new Go Rhino roof rack that I was going to install but it was so badly damaged that I had to send it back. Installed a new set of AC Delco iridium spark plugs. Still had the stock set at 82k miles but they didn't look bad at all. Seems to run a lot smoother now, though. That last...

    First trip into the woods... Gonna need some changes.

    Went out again today and found some snow way up in the woods. DuraTracs did really well in deep, heavy, wet snow...

    What wire to splice into for LED lights?

    Never mind... I winged it and used the pink wire off the MAF. Works perfectly and it was easy to get to. If it ever quits running for no apparent reason, I will go there first, LOL.

    What wire to splice into for LED lights?

    Wasn't sure if this was supposed to go into the exterior mods forum, or the electronics forum, or...?? I bought a couple of those LED white accent strips for under the headlights. I had them on my Ram and I liked them. Purely pimp aesthetics, I know... So, I'm trying to figure out which wire...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Installed some $60 cold air intake kit off of Amazon. Total garbage. cheap components and didn't fit correctly. Basically the Chinese knock-off version of the crappy Spectre kit. Will save my lunch money for a quality kit. Now about to change the spark plugs.
