    Do I have Gremlins?

    That’s the first thing I did as mentioned in my initial post.

    Do I have Gremlins?

    Took it in to the dealership today. They called a bit ago. It's the body control module. They are replacing and hopefully I'll get it back tomorrow afternoon by close of business. Fingers crossed that's the end of this issue.

    Do I have Gremlins?

    So I have just had an interesting last few days with the Tahoe. On Sunday I was getting ready to go run an errand as usual, and open the driver’s door, only this time, the power running board didn’t deploy. Weird. I hopped in, closed the door, key in the ignition, turn to start....nothing. A...

    What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    Ha! Glad to know I'll be the guinea pig. Seriously thinking about picking up a steam shot and giving this a go. I am somewhat concerned about the badges coming off. The TAHOE lettering seems to be loose as it is. Any recommendations on a compound to use?

    What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    With your steam shot idea, is that something that could damage anything? Would I need to be careful in using it on the paint or around badges? Would be nice to use something I can go full-out with and just melt this crap off.

    What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    The funk has been on there since I bought it last year. Entirely possible this guy could have parked in a pine tree forest during his years of ownership prior. Where I park isn’t directly under any trees, but that’s not to say I doesn’t get dripped on from time to time. There’s also a black mold...

    What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    Hey all, I bought my 2012 rig in June of last year. Love it. Been doing a lot of functional maintenance work since then, but am now starting to look at cosmetics. There is some kind of funk around many of the seams on the body. See below: See the discoloration around the molding? What could...

    Driver side leak

    Thank you for the reply. I'm still unsure how to DIY or even check the windshield seal. Nothing more fun than chasing a leak. ;)

    Driver side leak

    I too am having an issue with wet driver side floorboard/carpet. The floor mat is not wet, just the carpet.

    Front End Squeak - Need Input Please

    I replaced the strut assemblies today with the Arnott SK-2954 conversion assemblies. The squeak is gone!! I haven’t totally inspected the old assemblies yet, but the lower bushings looked even worse than from what I could tell when they were still on the truck. I also noticed that the shop...

    The Oil Leak Game

    I just read through the first several pages of your Denali build thread. Badass rig sir. Gonna keep reading.

    The Oil Leak Game

    Just to follow up this, I changed out the valve cover and put in a range device before we took a long trip last weekend. After about 1,200 miles of driving, it appears that the oil loss/consumption is barely noticeable if existent at all. No oil spots around the valve cover and no drips at plug...

    Front End Squeak - Need Input Please

    So I just got it back from the shop. I had them replace the upper control arms with the moog problem solvers I bought. They also recommended having the lowers done at the same time, so I had them go ahead and replace those too. The squeak persists. They said I didn’t really need to replace...

    The Oil Leak Game

    From what I was finding when researching the valve cover leak issue, it appeared that there was a redesign of the valve cover to remedy the leak. We’ll see. It was relatively inexpensive so I figured why not. So about the AFM disable, what’s the best way to do that? A Range device? Any oil...

    2nd Row Seat Heater Replacement

    Has anyone done this? Usually I can find YouTube videos for everything, but coming up empty on this specifically as well as searches on the website/google searches. My kids are all about having their seat heaters this winter and only one of the seats work. The passenger side seat has burned out...

    The Oil Leak Game

    Here’s how my old plugs looked. They’re arranged in order of front to back from left to right. Plug 7 looks the worst. But plugs 3, 5, 4, and 6 didn’t look so great either.

    The Oil Leak Game

    Ok, so I started with removing plug 7. I removed the wire and looked around the plug shield. Top side: Bottom side: Then started removing the plug. It was loose. Like less than hand-tight loose. I was startled by how loose it was. Here’s how it looked. Didn’t necessarily want to do a...

    The Oil Leak Game

    I'm going to take a look at the valve cover tomorrow, just to see if there's any other traces of oil higher up. The engine seems to run and start fine. I don't have any CELs either. I plan to also pull the spark plug and look to see if it's coated in oil. Hopefully the oil isn't leaking from the...

    The Oil Leak Game

    Well gents, I've been trying to track down this leak since shortly after buying the truck back in June. I'd purchased a new oil pressure sending unit last weekend with the though that my source was surely coming from there. Nope. The unit in place is dry. No oil around it. I could only feel...

    Front End Squeak - Need Input Please

    Hi all, I'm back with some questions about my high mileage rig. I've noticed a squeak in the front driver's side suspension ever since buying the truck back in June. Finally got around to replacing the front sway bar bushings and end links. The end links were shot. I was hopeful that replacing...

    High Pitched Noise from Front

    Thanks, I'll look into doing that. Strangely enough, when I started up yesterday, I depressed the brake pedal to shift into gear and.....no noise. I don't get it. I'll see if it's back today. Would a vacuum leak be temperature dependent? The weather is a bit cooler now.

    High Pitched Noise from Front

    It is a constant squeal that fades out. Definitely not a squeak from the brake pedal.
