    No Crank

    You gotta whack it real hard and yell at it. Sometimes calling it cuss words work too.

    2001 GMC Yukon factory brake line metal?

    You have a 01 vehicle with 360K on it and the brake lines arent rusted to death? Where did you store it, the moon?

    2005 LM7 and Sea Foam

    You want to remove carbon off your piston crowns in a hurry? Just pop the intake air inlet off and spray mist cold water into intake with engine running around 1000-1200 RPM. Use about a 1/2 quart of water. Clear all codes when done. DO NOT POUR LIQUID WATER INTO INTAKE STREAM.

    2004 Yukon 4l60e

    What do you mean it struggles in 4th? Is it slipping (RPM's jump up in 4th when throttle is applied)? Any problems noticed in 2nd when moderate throttle is applied?

    Transmission gave up

    You should have a seasoned tranny builder that knows your model tranny standing next to you during your rebuild. Again, you dont want your tranny to be the science project that you figure out that you didnt do it right the first time. Its not hard but its also not easy, especially if you dont...

    [SOLVED] 2006 transmission ?

    This does not sound like a Tcase issue to me. This sounds like valves in the valve body hanging up and they are likely like that from running in extremely dirty/worn tranny fluid OR maybe even a plugged up filter.

    Transmission gave up

    If you dont know that you ALWAYS replace the torque converter during a tranny rebuild then you are NOT ready for a tranny overhaul project. Trust me, You dont want to practice on a tranny that YOU need to be reliable and work correctly the first time and every time. If you cant find a shop...

    03 Tahoe Lt End Of Watch

    Im not sure what happens next. The Indiana State Police didnt even tell me whether they gave the woman a ticket for failure to yield. She literally turned left (Her left) in front of me while we were both on US 40 (A Highway). I was eastbound and she was southbound facing West.

    P2135 - please help!

    #5 is throttle pedal assembly (it is all sold as a unit). #2 is the TPS and is bolted on to the throttle body. Factory original is riveted on and you must drill out rivets to replace. Honestly I would replace the TPS before I would consider the throttle pot, especially if the TPS is riveted on...

    P2135 - please help!

    So the most common failures are listed in order of most common: 1: Broken wire(s) in Throttle Body TPS Harness. Usually a broken wire approximately 6" away from plug. The insulation is NOT broken. 2: Worn TPS. Has a dead spot where you typical hang out (speed) the most. City 30MPH or...

    Service 4WD *FIXED*

    When the electrical ignition switch is replaced a PASSLOCK relearn has to be performed. If you were physically in 4LO (You would know if you were) then you have a problem that needs to be diagnosed. If it was just a false indication then it likely was caused by a bad commutator which is located...

    Replaced Factory Brake Lines with Steel Brake Lines

    Check connection at MOD and the line itself for a burr or piece of metal strayed. The connection is actually a double flare. The line may need to re double flared if it is damaged.

    Replacing steering box?? Or what ?

    I sure hope the ball joints were inspected. Here is what typically happens. Ball joints wear excessively on a high mileage vehicle which cause tires to constantly be trying to move toe in and toe out just slightly up to alot depending on how bad the ball joints are. All this side to side...
