    Starter or ? SOLVED

    Well, I'm em-bear-rassed....... I KNEW that it could not be the terminals, not only did the AAA tow driver try to jump the car but just recently I finally got around to replacing my side terminal bolts (which could only be turned with vice grips, no visible flat surfaces) and really cleaned...

    Starter or ? SOLVED

    Truck has been starting like new ever since it was..... well , new. As a Fathers Day present my eldest hired some guy to detail the old gal, The thing is, although I told him NOT to touch the engine bay, he proudly showed me what he had done.Looks to me as if he applied Armor All with a garden...

    1998 yukon, Is my fuel pressure regulator bad?

    I did mine about 18 months ago. I was "in denial" for a while and did the wires, plugs, cap and rotor thing and a few other odds and ends before throwing in the towel and doing the injectors. The good folks here convinced me that I needed injectors but I was hesitant to spend so much when...

    New to thread - 99 Barn door Yukon

    800 bucks??? Heck boy, my wife can spend that a year on purses! And you can haul a LOT more stuff that she can in those purses. Nice, always liked that green.

    I had to reach for my sunglasses with this picture, a real rarity for a 25 YO truck!

    Only in Southern CA (Non Tahoe content)

    Not Tahoe related but I thought it was funny enough to share. One of my children lives in southern California and drives his 1957 Thunderbird frequently. One day he was driving it and pulled to a stop in a left hand turn lane next to an obviously homeless looking, panhandler type guy sitting...

    1999 Tahoe/Lifter or Exhaust Manifold?

    Just playing the odds most old engines develop lifter noise eventually, especially if they haven't had frequent oil changes. Long term use of synthetic seems to reduce the occurrence as well. Manifold issues are relatively rare. I like to run a bottle of MMO through my engines once a year ...

    Need to Flush

    The ole coolant is only about 12 -- 14 years old but I thought I'd go ahead and change it "ahead of schedule" just to be safe. I've read a few posts online and discovered that a buncha liquid stays in the block after draining the radiator via the drain ****. Removing the plugs in the block...

    97 Tahoe - Fuel In oil - Stall Condition

    With the understanding that I am not nearly as knowledgeable as anyone else on the forum...... Your pump may be bad but if leaks back into the tank that doesn't account for the how the fuel gets into the oil. Unless there is a leaky fitting, the fuel line is closed from tank to regulator. And...

    Cat, O2 Sensor, or nothing?

    Yet another PO442. This is the Tahoe that had the bad spider last year, it was replaced along with the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, PCV valve/hose and Idle Air control valve. Once all was changed and the car ran fantastic, (the only thing I question is that it takes about 1/2 second...

    headlight recommendations

    Had mine since new, so.... Around '05 0r '06, had to replace the first one to a bad low beam '10 or 'll had to replace the other side due to bad low beam. Noticed that both sides were leaking so..... I bought some "Chinese junk"- both sides still dry and bright. But I think the days of...

    Looking for help ideals

    Congrats, looks nice. You are fortunate in that you can query your grandfather about maintenance history. Besides the coolant, which looks like you may have already changed, I would change out the brake, PS, and drive train fluids now. Also, if the GD did not replace/update the fuel injectors...

    First Post..Odd Problem EVAP Pressure...

    I'm late to the party here, but having just gone through a somewhat similar evap leak problem i may have some insight. Your screen shots look like mine, different brand, same screen. the test only runs when the tank is between 1/2 and 3/4 full. So, if your tank isn't within that range, it...
