    Power lift gate struts

    I just installed a set of Amazon specials on a coworker's Escalade. They work, but do not work nearly as smoothly as factory ones. The tailgate almost slams closed because it can barely control the weight.

    New gen front brakes/rotors on 2016

    Just did this on my 15 xl and my factory 22's did not fit. I went with these spacers since they are hub centric. The tires have about a 1/4" poke, a 3/4" spacer would have been perfect for flush to the fender, I may machine them when I have time. https://a.co/d/c8LIfde

    What would you do? Truck Needs Engine?

    Incorrect cam timing will cause low compression numbers also. So if it does have a stretched timing chain and did spin a lifter, it still would all be fixed by a proper afm delete kit with cam... Assuming it didn't send a ton of metal through the system.

    2015 Yukon Denali - Engine Failure - Sell or Fix?

    It's very hard to justify trying to repair a customers engine anymore. In my area (upstate NY) four machine shops that I have done business with it the last 8yrs have closed, the 2 left pick and choose what they want to do. Trying to write an estimate for repair is like looking into a crystal...

    Which brand of struts do you recommend for 2015 Yukon with Magneride?

    I just installed FCS front and rear on mine, they have been around for awhile and have a supposed lifetime warranty. Only complaint I have so far was one rear shock had a terminal not pushed in far enough so it triggered a light. Pushed the terminal into the connector and cleared code. Night...

    Shift into park Message

    On the drivers side of the transmission with the cable attached. I've seen the range sensor get rusted up enough that it just can't be pushed over enough to register park.

    2016 yukon xl transfer case issue

    Never done it without a scan tool. There may be a code in there to help point you in the right direction of the procedure doesn't work.

    2016 yukon xl transfer case issue

    There is a calibration procedure for the transfer case encoder motor that needs to be done with a scan tool. Do you know if that was done?

    Shift into park Message

    Could be the shift cable or the range sensor on the transmission. Is it a one piece or two piece cable?

    Welp…. Ya Fix One Thing…..Dreaded Lifter Tick

    It was nice of them to charge you an additional 199 to put plugs and wires in. You would think since you are taking the cylinder heads off and have to take them off to do so it would be included in CAM/Lifter labor...

    Chevy Tahoe 2018 Engine 5.3l. Engine belt

    Labor rate at the local dealer is 179hr, it probably pays .9 to do the tensioner, then the cost of parts, easily around 400 all said and done.

    Magneride replacement struts - need input

    I contacted GM fraud department about those struts on eBay and they assured me that they are indeed counterfeit. They stated they will be contacting ebay about them.

    Magneride replacement struts - need input

    I've been eyeing these also. It's crazy to me that bwi wouldn't have an issue with them if they are knock offs.

    Sounds Like Lifter Tick but Rockers All Moving

    Pop the valve cover back off and check to see if all the pushrods are centered in the hole through the head. I have done a bunch of these where the lifter stuck at some point, it bent the pushrod, but then the lifter unsticks. When looking for the ticking the rocker will still move up and down...
