    2001 GMC Yukon factory brake line metal?

    Cars from the South are just different. I bought a 2001 BMW 330 convertible - in 2023. It lived in Delware and Virginia - it was well maintained - I got 12 years of Maint history. This had 171 K on it - now 184K. The threads on the exhaust bolts are clean. The underside is the same color as...

    2001 GMC Yukon factory brake line metal?

    The recall was regionalized to rust belt states ( New England, some Mid Atlantic is where I fell ( NY ). They did not want to honor it. Notice that I paid for it. I will say that the 2002 that I have now has much better lines ( he lived in south NJ, so it gets less salt than my old stomping...

    trying to save my ex's 2015 Suburban

    Get an Interstate Battery from Costco, a fresh 10 gallons of gas, and see what happens. Record codes and reset them as they come up. Check Brake calipers being stuck. Run it until the gas in the tank is gone - use some Techron in there. You can't make it worse.

    Potential Soon to be Yukon XL Owner

    I am a bit stuck in the mud, but with all that is going on in the world, I am loathe to own cars that are internet connected. 2006 is the latest I have. I don't need anything feature wise post 2006, so I will be buried in mine. My 2500 is a 6.0 LQ4 / 3.73. It's not much worse mileage wise...

    Potential Soon to be Yukon XL Owner

    You could stay in the 2002 - 2006 range, and shop south or west and get another T800. Less $$ and the devil you know. I have had a T800 for too long. I almost went for an 07 T900, but the current truck came by.

    Wiring Question

    Start by checking fuses. you should be able to look and see a lot if you remove the vanity cover in front of the cluster / Radio. I had blown a lighter fuse, and it knocked out the OBD Port.

    2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali 91k miles-SOLD $18,900

    That dude has been tracking BaT too much, or he don't want to sell. I had an 01 5.3 / 4L60E - went 270K. NE Frame Rot killed it. The 02 6.0 LQ4 / 4L80E - 179K on the engine - it seized - I had it swapped for a used motor - put 800 miles on it since - ok so far. The new guy is a 2500, so not...

    Transmission selector cable

    It's awful. I fixed it on Friday just before the temps fell in NY. Now that I know how stupid the design is, I can't get it out of my mind. At the least, I'll drill out that Pin, and put a bolt thru it, with a lock nut, and maybe the cotter pin / Safety wire too. The last guy used RTV and...

    Overheating trouble

    How confident are you that your coolant mix is good at that temp. you could have a blockage of ice due to the cold.

    You just cannot beat a GMT800

    I meant the guy with the bent truck.

    Transmission selector cable

    Just did this to the Yukon that came home from the motor swap. The cable had RTV - really old. I got the Dorman 14073 - Drilled out the old bushing with a 3/8 bit, as suggested on a Youtube video. the inner surface of that bushing locks into the groove on the lever. Feels good.

    You just cannot beat a GMT800

    shoulda taken the cash and gotten another T800 - that 2019 is going to disappoint.

    2002 Yukon XL 2500 / Engine Died / Get a used LQ4 or LQ9

    So, This took forever. Swap to a used LQ4 completed. Got to drive it yesterday. Will get it back today. It's different. new motor is different - Revs faster, with less throttle input. The one that blew always felt a bit sluggish, from day one in my hands. Will let you know how this goes...
