    ABS module repair

    OP, is your problem actually in the ABS Module that is under the hood with the ABS pump OR is it the ABS manifold/valve body that is on the drivers side chassis rail under the driver door?

    Bad trans or transfer case?

    Your problems will be in the back half of the tranny and it will be fragged. You will need some new hard parts as well as a complete rebuild kit whether you or someone else does the deed. I called this one in post#14. Unfortunately I was right and this is gonna get expensive. Good Luck to...

    Bad trans or transfer case?

    "when shifted to reverse with brakes being held it makes a super loud grinding noise." There is your clue. When the brakes are applied, the Tcase, Driveshaft and rear end are not rotating. But internally the transmission is. Its your transmission, not your Tcase. And the damage is likely...

    2000 Suburban 5.3 Engine Knocking

    There is no way that noise in the original video is piston slap or valve tick. That noise has definite sounds of something that has worn to the point there is excessive play. Like a rod bearing that has spun and completely ejected its remnants from the journal it once sat in. BUT.... The...

    Front brakes both sides heating up and dragging

    The internal diameter of brake hoses and lines would rarely ever see anything large enough to restrict them.

    2003 Hydro Boost Swap Question …

    You are in luck. I have a 05 Yukon Denali and (2) 03 Tahoe LT's. Denali has Hydroboost. What is it that you need to see or know about the brake pedals?

    Rear Main Seal

    Sounds like to me the mechanic claiming the engine needs to be torn down to replace the RMS is thinking GEN 1 engine and is not really experienced on Gen 3/4 engines. The Gen 1 and 3/4 as most of us know here are 2 very different animals when it comes to the RMS.

    Front brakes both sides heating up and dragging

    How did you bleed the brakes? Old school pump, hold, crack bleeder loose, close bleeder and then repeat all the way around OR did you use a bi directional scanner like a Tech II and use the auto bleed feature?

    I need help with 2002 z71 tahoe 5.3 4x4

    Check transmission fluid level. Drain some Tcase fluid and look for glitter and check the magnet of the tranny and the Tcase for chunks. You will need to drop tranny pan to check the magnet.

    Reduced Engine Power, an opinion and experience piece!

    I disagree. Its almost always either a bad/worn TPS, Its associated wire harness (broken wire), Bad TAC module wiring harness (broken wire), Bad TAC module, Bad/worn Foot pedal Pot or ground issue. In that order of most likely fault.

    Clunking/ knocking noise when floor my 06 Yukon denali

    Chain stretch is very common on a high mileage transfer case. If not caught fast enough it results in the chain chewing up the inside of the case and come peaking out of a YUGE hole that it has made which destroys the case. https://www.allstategear.com/NP246-Chains-s/2472.htm...
