    2000 GMC Yukon XL 1500 SLT 2WD (5.3L) - Brake Pedal Goes to the Floor

    My guess is the abs pump is full of air - you'll need a brake bleeder code reader device.

    Tire pressure observations

    Just an update - I have 153k miles on the truck, and with 48psi front and rear (and with new plugs), I drove 160 miles from georgia to Knoxville - cruise set to 78, & hit slow traffic a few miles along the way - I clocked (according to the computer) 26.4 going up and 24.4 on the return trip...

    2nd Yukon 2016, previous was a 2005. loved my first, really liking my second. warnings?

    In my case, ( 2018 5.3 not flex fuel), 153k miles. I replaced the o2 sensors at 100k, no other issues yet, but I've drained and refilled my trans at 60k and 120k, and I've been very faithful with oil changes and done the plugs at 70k and 150k too - I change mine around 40% remaining. and I...

    Tire pressure observations

    I needed to tow a 7000lb trailer a couple hundred miles with my 2018 tahoe (which has the 18" tires). I pumped the trailer tires to their rated number and checked the Tahoe - my tires (Pirelli Scorpion III) says max pressure is 51psi - so I pumped them up to that. I immediately noticed a...

    4l60 vs 6l80

    When I'm driving in North Carolina hills with cruise set on 60, the 4l60 would sometimes have to downshift all the way down to 2nd gear to pull a hill - and the engine would be screaming at 4400 rpm or something... but with the 6l80 there's 5th, and 4th, and 3rd - so it just seems like it...

    Catch can for 2025 tahoe?

    Me either - 250k miles on 2003 5.3 and 145k on 2018 5.3 and 180k on 2013 3.6 - no catch cans - so far no issues - maybe someday I'll wish I had one... dunno (but I am very faithful at 5k oil changes with synthetic)

    Fasteners for ‘21 Tahoe trailer hitch cover

    My advice - Leave the tow ball and stinger connected! My wife hit her shinbone on my hitch one day and cursed me. A few weeks later when I forgot to remove it, she was rear-ended by a mini-van. Even though the van was damaged pretty bad, it never touched even our bumper... After that - she told...

    Highway driving - do you make constant corrections or can you relax?

    It's your fat tires grabbing at uneven-ness in the freeway lane... my older corvette used to do that too. You could try running max tire pressure - might help a little - but beyond that, it's just a tiny bit of play *times* 8 or 9 steering connection points... You could even try just a slight...

    Brake pad cost….

    Someone already said it - Rock auto, and in my experience, semi-metallic pads stop quicker, and they make more dust -- but stopping quicker is the game IMHO

    2024 Tahoe 5.3 Small ticking noise at cold start

    It's lifter bleed-down (in most cases) and you only hear it after the engine's been off for a while... Has anyone tried high quality oil filter with a good quality anti-bleed-down? Is this problem worse with the "normal cheap" oil filters?

    L92 low hot oil pressure at idle HELP!!!!

    I'd run some STP (thick type oil additive until you find the problem though

    2025 Tahoe 6.2-liter first oil change interval

    .....CHANGE IT.... Did mine at 800mi. Even if it does nothing real, I'm convinced it will help... ALSO - always use synthetic and always change it before the computer hits 30% remaining (or better)... I can't always remember on my own, so I rely on the computer and usually do it by around...

    SOLVED: Bolt extractor head broke off - advice needed

    I've seen people put a short pipe over the broken bolt and then weld to the bolt inside the pipe - the pipe will protect the surrounding material and give you something to grab onto as well...
