    Rear main seal or something else?

    I did that. Those are dry as a bone. I replaced the transmission cooler lines this past summer.

    Rear main seal or something else?

    Hmmm, is the knock sensor something that is sometimes mistaken for a rear main oil seal leak?

    Rear main seal or something else?

    So in hindsight I should have had the rear mail oil seal replaced when I had the transmission replaced a month ago. Unfortunately the rear main seal may of started leaking recently. I took that round metal cover off of the transmission and looked inside, it appears to be completely dry inside...

    Shudder No More!

    I just had a remanufactured tranny and new torque converter installed last month to the tune of $3800. This price was with the billet style converter upgrade. I had the shudder happening quite frequently but the transmission shifted perfectly. But with 190k miles, I thought it was best to...

    Installed oil catch can today

    I've been seeing a few oil catch can threads lately, so I thought I would install one on my 2015 Chevy Tahoe LT. I installed one on my Jeep Wrangler last summer and liked the results, so I'll see if this one yield the same, if not better results. There are some really nice catch cans out there...

The car would be running perfectly and then just die...

    5.3L Air filter?

    I really can't see the need for a pre-filter unless you live and drive in a very dusty area...lots of dirt roads. Or of the air filter is manufactured with the purpose of high flow. Although layering on filters on top of the high flow filter seems to be purpose defeaticous (not a real word) Or...

    New Member + Bought 2019 Yukon SLE

    Take a look at the engine on both sides where the exhaust manifold attaches to the engine block. There are 4 exhaust ports on each side that the exhaust manifold connects to exhaust the fumes through the exhaust system (catalytic converter, exhaust pipes & mufflers). At each of those 8 mounting...

    Starting issue

    Make sure I heard this correctly, the battery is fully charged and all lights and other electrical items work (windows, horn, sunroof, radio, etc) but the car makes absolutely no noise when the key is turned. The engine does not turn over. The starter makes no clicking noise at all when you turn...
