    2001 Yukon instrument cluster is intermittent

    So my gauges are completely dead. I sent it out to get gone through, got it back, plugged it in, no joy. I do have intermittent draw on the brand new battery as well as various relays cycling for no apparent reason while running and after shutting it off.

    2001 Yukon instrument cluster is intermittent

    So I pulled the gauge pod and cleaned the circuit board and reinstalled. No change. I then removed the body ground wire to the engine, cleaned it and Bingo, everything worked again. Lets see how long that lasts...

    2001 Yukon instrument cluster is intermittent

    Thanks for the feedback. I will pull it apart today in between the rain showers and give it a cleaning and go from there. Geoff

    2001 Yukon instrument cluster is intermittent

    Hi guys, I have a weird issue. When I get in the truck in the morning, the Gauges all work. When I drive out the driveway, as soon as I hit a bump, they all flicker and act like the ignition was turned off and then back on. After doing that a few times, they stay off. Next morning, same thing...

    Heater stopped working

    Is there a separate heater core for the rear? I have good heat in the back. That being said, I have not flushed the cooling system in 5 years, so it is way past time.

    Heater stopped working

    I have no heat at the front of my 2001 Yukon but the rear has plenty. I replaced the diverter motor twice and that did nothing. Is there a control valve for the front that is separate from the rear? TIA Geoff The A/C works fine.

    Clunk in the steering

    After asking my son to wiggle the steering wheel while I looked under the hood, I determined that the slight clunking was actually in the steering box itself. I got out my 16mm box wrench and 5/16 Hex (ALLEN), loosened the locking nut on the adjuster on top of the box, turned the center adjuster...

    Clunk in the steering

    My '01 Yukon has a slight clunk at low speeds in the steering column. Something is definitely loose. I have had 2 separate shops look at it and they claim all the front suspension is tight. Is this something anyone has run across? The manager at the second place claimed he had the same...

    front wheel bearings

    I replaced the stock wheel bearings with 90k miles on them and got 5k out of the new ones before they started rattling them again. I am willing to spend some $$ to get good ones but don't know what to get. I don't want to have to change them every 20k miles. TIA Geoff

    My Lowering Experience

    Looks nice if you can stand the ride. I would go with a modest increase in tire diameter when your current ones wear out and leave it at that. I think you will find that the improved ride from the taller sidewall offsets the slightly higher stance nicely. In fact you may even find if "looks"...

    Reset Oil Change Light

    Took me a couple of tries, but I must not have been fully depressing the pedal. Third time was the charm, thanks.

    Looseness in steering

    Hi guys, My '01 Yukon w/89k flunked PA inspection due to slop in the steering. On the lift when the tech wiggled the wheel, the tie rod went in and out of the dust boot about 1/4" with no corresponding movement of the steering wheel. I have not done anything to this truck yet, so I am...

    Piston slap

    You're kidding, right? GM says this is normal? Where? Is there documentation of warranty claims being denied? I would seriously be shocked. If this is normal, then why isn't it happening to every LS motor out there?
