    Can’t figure out why my new pulley is doing this with a new belt

    This wear pattern/material transfer is completely normal with new pulleys and belts. It's nothing to worry about.

    07 denali engine oil pan gasket

    Yep, good plate but those screws as pictured are too short and will strip.

    07 denali engine oil pan gasket

    Here you go: https://a.co/d/ecHHthl I like this one because it has the proper length screws. Be super careful when torquing because they are small bolts in aluminum and stripping one out will ruin your day. Torque value is 106 INCH pounds. And I would do even less than that given that this...

    Yes, I believe so.

    2012 XL Denali AWD steering shake over large bumps.

    I think that may actually be normal, the way you’re describing it.

    2012 XL Denali AWD steering shake over large bumps.

    +1 to checking the sway bar links and mounts. Also, some folks have had trouble with the steering rack slipping in its mounts. One fix I saw was to crush a rubber coil spring mount ring between the rack and the frame crossmember. Another was to buy new rack mount bushings from Febest.

    Easiest way to install manifold clamps? Dorman Manifold clamps

    The risk is that in the process of removing the other bolts, one or more snap off in the head requiring significant work to get them out. Drilling the bolts to use an EZ-out is risky because the head surrounding it is relatively soft aluminum. So for a broken bolt, most folks find they either...

    What models have AWD ? Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade

    You'd think that living in eastern Virginia I could get by with 2WD too, and like you I curse all the extra running gear whenever I work on it. But every year I seem to find myself in at least half a dozen situations where I'm glad I have AWD. A few weeks ago I was out on a friend's property on...

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

    It’s the fact that it (and much more) does that sustains me. I was lucky to spend some years traveling on a shoestring budget (no help from parents), just because I knew if I didn’t, I might never get another chance do it.

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    Looks good! I used to drive a Ford Bronco that was black on the bottom and white on top. We named her Sister Mary.

    Transmission Cooler Mount Options in a Tahoe

    I've run it both ways on my 2012 and learned the hard way not to bypass the radiator. Plumb it in series after the radiator.

    Easiest way to install manifold clamps? Dorman Manifold clamps

    This is the easiest way without a lift, in my opinion.

    Transmission fluid exchange...an anecdotal experience

    The same is true for carpenters, landscapers, plumbers, lawyers, dentists, and pretty much any occupation I can think of. When you're genuinely competent and provide a great service that people need, customers will find you by word of mouth.

    Engine quits

    If electrical power is interrupted even for an instant, the engine will shut down. And it's possible that there is enough electricity flow through the weak connection to run the core electrical system but not the starter. Clean, remove and reseat the ground on the front end of the passenger side...

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

    +1. I've been there many times. The Flathead Valley around Whitefish is in my soul. @pwtr02ss, if you have passports and can spend the extra time, Waterton Lakes is the Canadian National Park on the other side of the border and it's spectacular. I stayed at the Prince of Wales Hotel there...

    Rebuild & dod afm delete no start

    I agree with Chris, that there is a ground issue. Check the ground on the front of the pax side cylinder head. There should be two wires that terminate there. One of them is for the coils on that side.
