I just had a heater hose blow out on my 07 Yukon XL Denali. As the photo shows, it appears to have literally 'torn' itself off, right at the back side of the crimped coupling on the end of the hose, as it looks like there is still hose within the crimped coupling.

Question for you.... Do I need a special tool to get the crimped connector off of the plastic nipple of the coolant distribution block? If so, where is the best place to buy the tool? Part number?

I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid that is not driveable due to collapsed lifters and a couple other issues, including that a deer decided to do some bodywork on the left front corner around the same time. I guess when it pours it rains.

I bought it in 2018 and got to drive it for all of 2 months before it ate itself. Insurance didn't cover, and dealer bill was more than I paid for it, so I took quite a loss on it. I'm looking to recover what I can and move on. Since it's not driveable...

NBS 3/5 will a 285/45/22 work with a TBSS 22x9” +22 offset or can I go 305/40 like I had on 20x10 with +30 offset?

May replace the LTZ 20” and get bigger tires from Silverado

I hate the 3rd row design that your legs are in your nose because the seats sit so close to floor.

I thought I saw models with that issue changed and have been looking again and can't find them.

We're taking maybe getting another tahoe or yukon but the lack of head protection in 2nd row bench and then 3rd row poor comfort is an issue now as kids are older and tall.

Captains chairs are nice but then u need to use the 3rd row more and then ya get those issues.

Any...

As others have said before, removing a transmission is just LOT of work. None of it is particularly hard. This comes with a couple of caveats though:

1) Get a good low profile transmission jack and test it out fully before using:

-Make sure it is properly filled with hydraulic fluid.
-Check to see how much tilt slack it has. Will the deck of the jack suddenly tip forwards once you pull the transmission...
