    1999 Tahoe LT a/c leak

    Yes, there's an o-ring at the joint. Is it the problem? Maybe. Could be a crack in the pipe that you can't immediately see. Yes, you'll lose all the freon if the joint is opened up. I have done AC work, but not that specific joint. I have a vacuum pump & gages. I would evac the...

    95 Chevy Tahoe problem

    So the steering wheel binds up when turning right? I'm willing to bet there's more damage that needs repaired. Frame is tweaked or something not allowing the steering links to operate normally....

    Illumination in window switchs

    On my 2000 OBS I got OEM blubs from the dealer. They are available as a spare part. Just pop out the switch plates & remove them with a small flat bladed screwdriver.

    2004 With Low Oil Pressure

    Put a different oil filter on it. Preferably a Delco/Wix one. See if anything changes.

    Was the previous owner and idiot or was it a mechanic??

    Spark plugs are a consumable. Every time it fires, a small amount of the electrode material is lost. So what starts as a 60 thou gap eventually works its way to a larger one....

    Just changed oil now my pressure is crazy low!

    Any autopart labeled Bosch has generally been shit in my experience...my oil changes involve regular dino oil & a Delco or Wix filter. Never had an issue....

    transmission maintenance.

    I did a fluid exchange on mine when I purchased it last spring. It had 158K on the odo, and I have no reason to believe the fluid was anything but original. Dropped the pan & replaced the filter. Then I undid the top cooler line to the rad. Bought a plastic barbed & threaded fitting...

    Snow tires

    I've had good performace from Winterforces...and their predecessor, Winterfires. 12 years in the snow belt with a 2WD S10 driving 20+ miles to work....each way. For the price, I've got no complaints.

    Differential Service

    My factory cover had a magnet on it. I believe you'll find yours does, too. Gasket vs. RTV? You'll get all kinds of answers on this. I used a gasket. Truth is, either way done right will be fine; and done wrong they'll both leak. As for a how-to, I'm sure they're out there on various...

    Looking to buy '99 Yukon SLT - Question(s)

    While I've not done either reapir, I've turned quite a few bolts over the years & I'd say neither one of them are too difficult. The trick will be proper diagnosis of what's wrong. If you hear the thunk of the xfer case engaging, that's good & the issue is more than likely limited to the front...

    Replace transmission fluid?

    I was able to drop the trans pan on my 2000 without removing the shifter bracket. And GM expects you to use a fluid transfer hand pump to refill the transfer case. $7 at Harbor Freight.....

    PA Inspection....FAIL

    I don't mind safety inspections. Just wish they'd focus on the things that made a difference to the motorists sharing the road like bad brakes, shot ball joints, and inop brake lights.
