    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    If needed, I was thinking I could remove any control from the computer to alter the damping. Thus leaving the strut void of any changes to damping.

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    I need to clarify. My current setup is OE, factory harness connected to the strut. I do not have a resistor connected to the harness, I also do not have a CEL. I fabricated the resistor IN CASE I need to use it. No codes, replaced OE struts at approx 120K miles. Mechanic is definitely...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    Not too bad, just had alignment done and I had the guy check to rule out them moving too much. I will get a pic of them later. What it seems to do is the strut compresses but stops, then releases. Like moving your finger on a piece of glass..keep it moving it glides, but stop and start again...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    All strut bolts are tight, resistors are avail and assembled on a OE pigtail to connect directly to the strut harness if needed for further testing, currently the connection is OE. Caliper bolts are tight, Timken bearings about 1YO, no movement when moving tire..all is quiet. You can see the...

    Is my front strut cartridge bad?

    Roughly 10 months ago, I replaced my front strut cartridges with the OE BWI 19420494, also used new coil spring insulators. I had a reputable shop swap the springs and all has been good. About a month ago I started hearing and feeling a light "thunk" or "bump" in the LF when backing from a...

    Need torque specs for front diff and crossmember

    2012 Yukon XL Denali. Don't want to trust the google web on this. I have a slight clunk a few months after the front diff swap, I think it's the cross member bolts, but want to go over all of them....thanks.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    FWIW, I hear the Hummer mounts are robust, but some mention they just don't absorb as much vibration as the OE, but only slight differences. Mine lasted almost 10 years, so I felt that added smoothness was worth it even though I can't compare them, just word of mouth. So for less $$, I went...

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    We replied at the same time. IME, with 2-speed GM transfer cases, you can drive in 2HI (2WD) with the front shaft removed. I've done this a few times. List your vehicle so others can confirm this.

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    @89Suburban The boot of the front shaft sits in a groove near the transfer case housing, so while prying on it, the boot needs to come out of the groove and be pushed forward, it will keep trying to re-seat itself so be patient with it.

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    I did and I believe the update was tied into another thread on driveline issues so I apoligize for not updating this. Short version is I replaced the rear U-joints and when I did I must have bent an ear. When I took it to get balanced, I had the shop change the front U joints. They boogered...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    Agreed. Replacing the LH mount fixed the engine lifting off the mount. Replacing the RH fixed the vibration at idle as that's the load side. The fact it was pretty much completely collapsed and hard as a rock also played a part...lol

    Airbag light help. B0012-04 and 0D

    Now that you mention it, I believe I also re-seated the connections on the driver's side footwell.

    Looking for MDI to replace Tech 2 for pass through device.

    I was looking at this initially, was skeptical considering the price but my Tech 2 clone has not had any issues so maybe these are as reliable. https://m.obd2tool.com/goods-10216-Best-quality-GM-MDI-2-Diagnostic-Tool-with-WIFI.html
