Found this in the service manual:
"Lift the knuckle towards the lower control arm and record the dial indicator measurement.
If the dial indicator reading is more than 0.50 mm (0.020 in) , replace the ball joint or the lower control arm as applicable for this vehicle."
That tells me my ball...
I've had a front end shimy for a while. So I got my tires rebalanced and an alignment done. It helped a little but the shimmy is still there. So I thought maybe the front hub I just replaced might be a bad part. So I checked it out for extra slop. Instead I found that when I push up on my front...
I'm pretty sure this is in the 07-14 section.
I had to drill a hole in the interior plastic lining with my lift gate closed. Then I found the release lever next to the switch/latch. Just lift up with a strong finger or a flat edge and the door should unlatch.
I replaced the switch I mentioned...
Ok. I know there are a lot of postings for the power liftgate switches going bad. But my searches haven't come up with the correct part number for my MANUAL Liftgate Release switch that's in the exterior liftgate handle.
I haven't been able to unlock/open the liftgate for a while now and...
I need to back-flush my heater core because I have this gurgling sound coming from below/behind my dash when the engine is running. It increases when I have it in drive (with foot on brake) or after driving around for a while. So I figure there is a possibly a partial block in the heater core...
The shop owner I brought it to immediately suggested a "beefier" torque converter. Says they do it all of the time for issues like mine. Two techs test drove it and can't say for sure what the issue is (obviously), but had some thoughts that there could also be something wrong with the transfer...
I was driving, felt a loud clunk and my rpms spiked up. I pulled over and could only engage 1 and 2, could not get forward drive in 3 or D. Reverse does work. I figure I lost my 3/4 gears, at a minimum. I was near a local transmission shop so I parked it there for the night.
Any thoughts on...
What are some good battery options? My 07 is due for a new battery. It sat in my driveway for a week and was very hard to start. It's doing okay now that I am driving it everyday.
I have a couple of air compressors. I do some light towing. I need something that can handle short drives (i.e...
How do I tell if I have the BW 4485-NR3 - Transfer Case which takes DEXRON(R)-III, GM P/N 12346143 or the NVG 246-NP8 - Transfer Case which takes Auto-Trak II, GM P/N 12378508?
I finally got around to replacing this switch and it did the trick. $10 part on Amazon. 10 minute job (only because it's a little hard to reach). Thanks again for the info!
