    Cruise Control

    1998 gmc sierra with 254k - engine and transmission have never been apart as I've had no issues. I did have the blinker/cruise switch replaced a few years ago as i had the constant blinker ticking sound and the switch was shot. Recently noticed when putting the truck in cruise control and...

    Leather dash in any Tahoe/Yukon?

    I found a location for them down in the SE part of the states but have talked with two old school interior upholstery restoration guys - both spent most their careers in the hot rod and muscle car industry, neither of them are willing to touch this dash and apply a leather wrap and they no...

    Leather dash in any Tahoe/Yukon?

    @adventurenali92 in your experience and opinion as a detailer, is there an off the shelf product you really like or would recommend for use on these plastic dashboards and interior pieces to help with protection?

    Center Console - Rear Passenger control lights stay on

    I never did get a part number. I know when it was scanned the code was b1006. Vehicle still isn't fixed as the guy hasn't gotten it done or still doesn't have the part. I talked to a dealership about the code and they said they would physically need to see the vehicle to determine which harness...

    Cold Air Intake (CAI) on 2013 6.2L - worth doing?

    I ran a k&n setup on a 5.3 powered sierra years ago and had nothing but issues. I will say spending a lot of time on dirt roads in that pickup with that setup turned me off from wanting to go their again. Truck just never ran correctly and I spent more time trying to keep that filter and the MAF...

    How can you afford the cost of a new SUV?

    When I worked in an F&I office years ago at a dealership, after really learning the ropes I was truly amazed how many lending institutions analyzed borrowers repayment capabilities, I was down right shocked at how out of touch people were with their own finances and not knowing or understanding...

    Leather dash in any Tahoe/Yukon?

    Not trying to hijack this thread, but does anyone know how much help a leather wrap would provide in terms of increasing longevity of these dashboards? Petethepug, I believe you have one of the escalades with the leather dash? Any issues at all with yours or any knowledge as to how those dashes...

    Tick-tick on start up after going Synthetic

    I've got a 97 GMC Sierra with 5.7 and have this same tick upon startup in the winter months (Temps are sub freezing for most of the winter). 5w30 full synthetic to 10w30 conventional, it's always there upon the first startup and been this way for years - engine has 254k miles on it. Have just...

    Thoughts on cheap oil?

    For me, making sure the dipstick is never low and being wise about interval changes is more important than running a high dollar brand.

    Center Console - Rear Passenger control lights stay on

    Finally got this thing into a body shop/collision center a month ago. He claims the issue with this stems from a wire harness that is cracked and is also throwing a code for the airbag system. He said due to strikes, GM isn't releasing the harness or parts at this time (should be soon) and he...

    It does and that was the first thing I had tried but no luck on my end with that.

    Center Console - Rear Passenger control lights stay on

    Recently purchased an 09 yukon denali and my wife drives this as her daily driver, I have rarely been in the vehicle. Was moving it out of the driveway tonight and noticed the buttons for the rear passengers that are on the back of the center console (believe these are temp controls and buttons...

    Buying out of State - Lemon Squad

    Been looking for a used 2009-2013 Yukon or Suburban for some time and believe I found a vehicle out of Indiana that fits the bill. The dealership had mentioned they would take a non refundable deposit on the vehicle, and would allow for to utilize inspection services from a company called lemon...
