    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    On my 2007, 2008 and 2013 Yukons, I averaged 80K+ on Bridgestone Dueller H/L Alenza's over the course of multiple sets. They handled Iowa snow just fine. Tire Rack lists a few versions, but I have always gone with what they list as the OEM one. That being said, I seem to be in the minority...

    Fixing for a friend

    Oil pressure sensor? Blocking plate above oil filter? Valve cover gaskets?

    Fixing for a friend

    Not really much to the PCV on this vehicle, it’s simply hose barb nipple formed into the valve cover and a hose that runs between the nipple and the intake manifold. No actual valve.

    @swathdiver has a pretty handy spreadsheet for this.

    No locking fuel door this generation??

    Anymore, if someone is going to steal gas, they will likely just drill a hole in the bottom of the tank.

    Transmission

    All the people that rebuilt it can tell you is that it is from a 2005 GM? No other information than that?

    Front differential differences

    Not sure if this matters or where the distance change happens, but the CV axles on the 2000-2006 units are shorter than the 2007-2014 units.

    Windshield Washer Squirters -- Anyone Modified The Terrible Design?

    Can’t say that I have an issue with the design. Pretty sure they wipe in both directions so spraying on the “down stroke” side also clears the grit and grime away.

    Will it fit - U Haul car trailer

    80.5” is body width which the widest point is well above the side rail height of the trailer.x. Will need to measure width 12” up from ground. Pretty sure it will fit. Biggest issue is weight. Don’t tell them what your hauling or they may not rent it to you. It has a max payload of 5290 lbs...

    Clunking noise after some gravel roads?

    You can change it now or when it breaks, your choice. It’s likely just as old as it looks to be OEM.

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

    Have had that happen to me on one of ours. Can’t remember which one. Grabbed a new one from AutoZone I think and it worked fine.

    Front suspension Torque procedure for 07 Yukon Denali

    I don’t think it matters on the ball joints if they are loaded or not. I would torque the upper while its loaded, but know that they will be retorqued when you get it aligned. You are going to get it aligned, right?

    Airing down F load MT Tires how much is safe?

    Air them down to 50/55 and see if you get even tread contact across the tire.

    You are the one with the power here. It’s okay to walk away if you’re not happy or comfortable.
