    HELP!!! 2004 Yukon flex fuel lock ring for fuel pump...

    Welp, a different tank it is. I went out on a limb after soaking the lock ring for days in PB blaster and then bashing it with a chisel and hammer. More chunks flying.

    HELP!!! 2004 Yukon flex fuel lock ring for fuel pump...

    I haven't been able to work on it because of my work schedule. I'll take another crack at it this afternoon. Just got home from work, so I need a nap.

    HELP!!! 2004 Yukon flex fuel lock ring for fuel pump...

    Yep. that would be it. Funny, the pics I got of the replacement retainer ring have the square tabs that go all the way around the perimeter. I live in Wisconsin (Appleton area). Gotta love the rust belt.

    HELP!!! 2004 Yukon flex fuel lock ring for fuel pump...

    I'll get them tomorrow. I'm on 12 hour nights right now. However, I've heard recently from friends that once the tabs are gone that's it, I have to get a new tank.

    HELP!!! 2004 Yukon flex fuel lock ring for fuel pump...

    I know some of you may have experienced this before. I have a new pump and fuel lines for my Flex Fuel Yukon. However, when I removed the gas tank, there was mud, water, and grass around the fuel pump. Cleaned it up. Now the fun part. It's so rusted that the outside tabs are gone, and the...

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    Okay so I managed to find the problem. While replacing all of the 15 amp fuses, I stuck one in and swore I heard the fuel pump turn on, as well as a clicking noise from what seemed like the throttle body. I referenced the fuse box cover, and lo and behold, it was the radio fuse. I couldn't for...

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    I pretapped for the remote start using T-Taps (not what arced out the pink ignition 1 wire), however, with the 2 stereo wires I simply used the el cheapo wire taps from Wal-Mart. The little plastic cover that's supposed to cover the tap itself wasn't snapped in. Bummer.

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    I've already got an alldatadiy subscription. What I was doing using a jumper wire to "hotwire" the truck to run was probably more dangerous than putting a relay back where it belongs with the ignition on, but I'm replacing all fuses today so, we'll see if it makes any difference.

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    I just went out and bought new fuses for the under hood fuse box. While I was at it, I ran the truck, then pulled the Ignition 1 relay. It died immediately, like it's supposed to. Reinserted the relay with ignition still on, had a few tiny sparks when I plugged the relay in. Did it again...

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    No I do not. Even if I did, I'm not certain the manual would indicate which one actually kills the engine. Or if it's a combination of fuses/relays.

    2004 Yukon 5.3 keeps running when key is out... SOLVED!

    I really could use some help with this one. The battery drained overnight on 2 random occasions, which led me to the NAV unit I installed (the colors for the switched + and the constant + are reversed on the newer stuff). I have quick taps installed in the ignition harness for a remote start...

    2004 Yukon SLT shifting problems - (sigh)

    Thanks guys. I will do that. Never dawned on me that the MAF sensor would cause this problem. Learn something new every day.

    2004 Yukon SLT shifting problems - (sigh)

    My Yukon has 187,000 miles on it (I know, kinda scary), and I'm mechanically inclined, however, this is baffling. I will begin by saying this happens at random (once every 10 days or so?), and I don't get a check engine light. Doesn't matter what the weather is like either. It's as if the TPS is...

    2004 Yukon rear wiper problem

    Boy do I feel as dumb as a bag of hammers. I also had to replace the wiper arm (I busted mine trying to get the old wiper motor to move). As it turns out, when I turned the wiper motor on, the wiper blade would get caught on the bottom of the rear windshield. A little "friendly persuasion", and...
