    2006 GMC Yukon - whistling noise then low whirring sound on start up? (Video linked)

    Could be the needle bearings that are typically used in alternators at the rear getting loaded down as the voltage regulator calls for more voltage output and the field coils get more current which in turn causes a larger magnetic field to act upon.

    2006 GMC Yukon - whistling noise then low whirring sound on start up? (Video linked)

    I saw the temp gauge and speedo numbers and then I knew it....Not a U.S. vehicle. Im not hearing any abnormal noises in the videos.

    2005 Yukon XL Denali A/C issues… Help?

    Vent problems sound totally separate of the No A/C problem. The compressor clutch will not engage if the refrigerant pressure is below around 20psi. This is a safety feature to protect the compressor from spinning with no refrigerant/oill mixture in the system because of a leak. The low...

    No brakes, just changed hydroboost gaskets/o rings

    Did you not take the space out of your old unit and put in the new unit? Someone here did that oopsie last year.

    Pulling off the Perfect NP246 Transfer Case Rebuild

    From what it looks like to me in the video it appears the seal is not driven fully at the 2oclock to the 5oclock position of the seal outer diameter. It looks like the face of the seal in the video is not almost or at flush with the bore but it does on the other areas of the seal especially the...

    Pulling off the Perfect NP246 Transfer Case Rebuild

    Brake parts cleaner will dissolve most paints. It appears in the video that the seal was not driven in fully to its seat.

    Fuel Sender Unit Ohms

    More than likely the problem is your stepper motor in your instrument cluster.

    04 Yukon XL Steering left issue.

    First thing I would do is inspect for bent tie rods? Someone hit a curb or a nasty pothole? Then I would check the idler and pitman arm for binding. The 1/2 ton GM truck chassis is notorious for eating up idler arms. Especially cheap chinese ones.

    05 Tahoe: 5.3 LM7 rebuild. simple upgrades?

    With engine out, now would be a good time to replace the oil coiler lines. Whats the history on the tranny?

    Misfire on number 8

    Ive got a home made spark tester too. Its using the existing spark plug and wire and let the plug lay up against the head and crank away. Youll hear it snap.

    2006 Z71 Tahoe heavy fuel smell

    Could be the fuel pump module Oring wasnt replaced during last fuel pump R&R or its just rotted out. Inspect for leaks in fuel system first then suspect the Oring or its metal retaining ring has rusted out. Both Oring and Retainer should be replaced when fuel pump is removed and replaced.

    Possibly future 2003 Tahoe owner... not sure yet

    173k on a 5.3L? Engine is barely broken in. Keep up with oilo changes and that engine will go 300K+ no problem. Look through receipts. I suspect the fuel pump has been replaced and the tranny likely rebuilt in the last 50k. If it has then that is a huge plus. Look for receipt on transfer case...

    2002 Yukon/Another knock sensor thread

    So both codes in initial post are bank 1 & 2 sensors. New harness so that eliminates that one. What else is common to both? The engine (knocking) and the PCM. Id check for active knock counts on engine running and maybe even under load. As far as the PCM id would pull connectors and inspect...

    2002 Yukon/Another knock sensor thread

    How do you know they arent telling you the truth and you have knocks? How old are plugs and wires?

    ABS Pump continuously running

    Very possible. I would have to see the internal logic of the module to be able to rule out that possibility. I dont believe Ive ever seen an internal schematic for one. Just a very basic block diagram.

    ABS Pump continuously running

    The ABS pump is fed directly from a fuse. It is given a ground from the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module). I dont know if that ground switch is a internal relay or a transistor. It is quite possible that if a relay the contacts are welded together and giving a constant ground to the...

    Metal on drain plug magnet

    Well that engine was severely abused. Obviously the previous owner didnt get the oil changed much at all. With minor shavings on plug that would be normal but BRO! You got CHUNKS. That aint normal at all. That means that engine is on its way off to go be with god. Maybe not this month, maybe...

    So you are thinking about getting or already have a Tech II Clone or the real deal.......

    Watchu talkin about willis? It supports GM trucks and suv's(with truck chassis). All GM cars and trucks with ICE run on a 12v system unless of course you are getting into diesel truck land.

    Coolant Tee Quick Questions

    Yup. My dormans have been on my Denali for about 6 years now or so. Its hit or miss on Dorman parts though for sure. I wouldnt waste my time using Dorman replacent vent motors.

    Pulling off the Perfect NP246 Transfer Case Rebuild

    Yup a new clutch drum or to verify that you have warped drum. Even then a caliper when used to measure in the right places on a drum/basket will tell you everything you need to know.

    Move Transfer Case encoder motor to 2wd???

    Tcase in neutral with tranny in a gear yields the same thing as the tranny in neutral. Neutral in Tcase is for being towed or because it is a requirement to go into neutral (Tcase) first BEFORE you can get into 4lo. This keeps geniuses from traveling 60MPH down the highway and slamming Tcase...

    Pulling off the Perfect NP246 Transfer Case Rebuild

    Tcases are indeed stupid easy to rebuild. They arent anywhere near as involved as rebuilding a tranny or an engine. Definitely not rocket science especially with all the youtube videos available on how to.
