    Looking at buying this 2004

    I have a 2001 as well, and asked, because the OIL PSI was reading relatively low and inconsistent, You commented on the post prior with it, thats the one that lead me down the rabbit hole of oil manufactures and ZINC and running the truck so long while I was delivering packages. Because during...

    Looking at buying this 2004

    It sounded loud to me too. But knock on wood, I have had 2 of these trucks and driven many more and inspected a lot. All original gaskets and bolts, never a leak. It was in his garage, maybe thats why it was loud? Garage hard surfaces, garbage cellphone mic maybe? I may be new to forums, but not...

    Looking at buying this 2004

    I spoke to several gauge repair experts. They all stated the stepper motors are the only thing that fails on these. And the LCD dims. Most of that a cluster is not going to fail on these without something major happens, the failure rate is just too small. Does it happen, yes, but its like...

    Looking at buying this 2004

    Not really. Those videos were taken at a temp of about 50-53 degree and full sun. Low for night was prob 33-36 degrees. I've heard of some people doing HP tuners. Hes owned it awhile and alleges nothing was done to it from him, however we've all seen the movie Matilda. Several others have said...

    Looking at buying this 2004

    Several others have said they WOT at 70, and idle 55/60... but I've never seen or heard anyone hit 80 and it stays until they lift. That video, the engine had no qualms about getting to 80, shot right up there. I'm concerned with a pickup tube clog or lifters or maybe an oil galley clog with sludge.

    Looking at buying this 2004

    Sorry. I fixed the permissions on the video. One of them will show you the PSI gauge registers at a pretty high 80PSI and holds. I have NEVER seen a gauge that high in my life. I know as oil gets warmer the PSI will drop as the detergents wear down and the viscosity changes. But this gauge is...

Every pocket and video the guy has sent me it looks like this. Engine sounds. A it loud too while the hood is open. I haven't gone to see it...

    2001 change oil light

    If the oil psi is considered low to most of us, but decently above gm specs of 6psi for every 1k rpm... oil is fresh and full without leaka; then why the light all the sudden? Oring shouldn't cause a light to appear during startup and idle for 10nseconds and go off evey time. My oil psi Guage...

    Interchange parts

    Hey guys, I've searched a few forums, and not git a direct answer. I'm wondering what parts can be swapped specifically between 1999-2006 yukon xl and suburbans. Maybe tahoes and regular yukons. Wheels, ttarnsfer cases, trannys, engines, seats, dashes, electronics, trims, glass, doors, fenders...

    2001 change oil light

    Hey guys We all know I've been struggling with bouncing oil pressure lately. The dash gage has still been 20 -25 idle and 25-30 under load. And that's about a 5-9psi drop on average from when I got the truck. Thay was after letting it idle for multiple days while I delivered packaged for 8 to...
