    Would a Cadillac alignment be better than a Chevrolet or GMC

    Wrenched for a year at a Saturn dealership, went next door to a Buick/caddy dealership. Same guys doing the same alignements on the same machines. It’s a fair question though

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    Would your 2007 have the six speed trans?

    Engine Stuttering at ~1500 RPMs

    My 2011 5.3 4WD was doing this 160k miles., I bought the sonnax 6L80 ‘valvebody sure-cure’ kit and installed (fun fact: block off your entire weekend). I didn’t replace the torque converter, cause I’m cheap. Sure I’ll regret that choice down the road. HOWEVER the repair did clear up the...

    $1 dealer lien on vehicle

    the guy was re-selling trucks? That’s so slimy, that dealership should hire him

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I love when people from favorable climates, weigh in on rustbelt repairs. “ I’ve never actually had to deal with it, but my book says your doing it wrong” All in good fun, Mike the salt truck mechanic

    Is anyone running red, and blue flashing lights?

    Removing the lights was a good call. You don’t wanna be ‘that guy’

    I Know, I Know... Not another P0300 Question

    That rusty truck saves you $800/month (compared to a new truck)? I think it’s beautiful

    2007 Yukon Denali overheats and turns off AC...

    I agree with the previous posters, that there was a leak, and this kid made a field repair. Now here’s a thought you won’t find on a lot of auto forums. If your girl didn’t explicitly ASK for your help with this, maybe sit this one out, or at least let her take the lead on this one. Dudes wanna...

    He know what he has!

    Good thing he’s ‘not pressed, or in a hurry to sell’

    Picked up my Ultra rare Yukon Denaali yesterday.

    What do you expect for $75k Maybe the trim installer has a stutter?

    Torque, meaty rubbers and pavement plus jumping off the line and hard cornering equals rogue tires. No injuries. Felt it coming and was pulling over.

    I couldn’t have said it better than Rocketman. Just wanted to add, that ‘after the fact/carnage’ photos of damaged wheels & spacers….always have wallowed-out stud holes. Lugnuts nuts don’t ‘lose torque’ all the sudden. It’s a gradual thing that occurs over thousands of revolutions. An improperly...

    I’ll use the term “Picking the Meat off the Caracass“

    Dems have definitely moved this country in the wrong direction as of late, but corporate hacks ruined pepboys. There’s a store a couple blocks from my house. I would drive past it EVERY time I went on a parts run. Used to try em once every couple years, but I never got the right part when I was...

    2009 Tahoe AC blinks three times and will not come on

    Probably gonna have to buy an A/C gauge set (I’ve got a harbor freight set) and get some numbers. Then we can give you the exact advice you seek. But in the meantime, are the A/C lines that run into the firewall, feel cold? All properly functioning AC compressors cycle on and off several times a...

    Frustrated! Power Steering problem please advise

    don’t pull the airbag fuse. For future reference, if your replacing the rack & pinion….at some point before you unhook the ‘steering intermediate shaft’ (that pokes thru the firewall, attaches to the steering column) just take the seat belt, and loop if thru the steering wheel, and buckle it...

    Not totally sold that the trans is shot.

    Can’t tell you with 100% certainty what the issue is, it I can tell you it’s NOT the gas pedal. Any pedal issue, even for a millisecond, will make the engine drop to idle speed, until you shut the truck off. And you get an immediate ‘check engine’ light. Since we’re spitballing here, it’s been...
