What is this bolt I found??
That's a good point, it does look brand new. I'm just a little paranoid because there are a couple random parts missing here and there, but yeah you guys are right, and they didn't steal the seats or anything. Plus, no thief is gonna be like "oh, dude we dropped this bolt, let's make sure to put... -

What is this bolt I found??
I found this under the passenger seat, in one of the "skids" the seat slides in. No idea where it came from or where it is supposed to go. Any help would be awesome! Car was stolen previously so who knows where it came from, but I'm concerned because this bolt is huge and looks important. Here... -

2005 Yukon/Front AC suddenly blows hot air?
Update: So I pulled the actuator that is in there and it has already been replaced before, apparently. It is some CEI brand. I took it apart and all the gears and everything looked perfect. I noticed there was a ton of grease or whatever on the electrical contacts, so I cleaned that all off and... -

2005 Yukon/Front AC suddenly blows hot air?
No, mine makes more of a clicking/ratcheting sound. -

2005 Yukon/Front AC suddenly blows hot air?
Ok, I think I have "good" news. I was able to get the problem to occur, and it is only the driver's side front that is hot, not the passenger side front. From what I've read, the actuator for the driver's side is on the passenger side (near their feet), correct? Which would make sense since that... -

2005 Yukon/Front AC suddenly blows hot air?
I have a bluetooth OBD2 scan tool with Torque Pro app, will that work? I don't have the automatic climate controls, I have the manual one, does that change what actuator is the suspect? Seems like the actuator wouldn't just randomly stop working...hmm, actually, my wife said it went hot when... -

2005 Yukon/Front AC suddenly blows hot air?
I saw several other threads on this, but no one seems to come back and give the solution, so I don't know what to actually look for. I have a 2005 Yukon Xl that will be blasting cold air and then suddenly will instead start blowing hot air from the front vents (both sides). The rear AC is always... -

Locked out of my car, please help!
To wrap this up, I pulled the fob battery (several times) as was suggested and waited for a few minutes and finally on like the 5th try, viola, the fob worked again! I then went to a locksmith as was also suggested and it turns out when the car was stolen the entire front door lock assembly was...- big_g1

Locked out of my car, please help!
I held the lock and unlock buttons on my (generic) fob (I was told it would re-sync), and now the unlock doesn't work (lock still does)! Even worse, the keys to the ignition don't match the drivers door, so I can't manually unlock it either! (Car was stolen previously). Is there anything to undo...- big_g1

Reduced Engine Power - P0220 Only
Ok, I took a look in the throttle body and the plate is loose and wobbly. Like the two screws are loose, but they are tight as I can get them. Is this normal? I feel like maybe this could be the issue, no?- big_g1

Reduced Engine Power - P0220 Only
Is the $20 BAFX OBD bluetooth dongle good enough? Yours's is obviously nicer, but is $100 more. At the end of the day, if they all do the same thing, I'll take my chances with the cheap one for how often I'll need to use it.- big_g1

Reduced Engine Power - P0220 Only
Well I took a quick look at the APS (or at least what I think is the APS) before I decided that it probably wasn't the problem. All I noticed at first glance was that the wiring harness was out of its plastic guides. Everything else looked ok and undamaged. But if the APS can cause a P0220, then...- big_g1

Reduced Engine Power - P0220 Only
Hey guys, my old faithful 2003 Yukon (4.8L) with 160K miles on it is giving me a P0220 code (and only this code). I searched and all the other threads I found have several codes along with this one, so I'm now sure how much they apply. The code only comes on when I start the car, and it only...- big_g1
