    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...

    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...

    OIL PSI / BRAND / WEIGHT

    Thank you for the ideas. I was not aware of the lack of calibration. Although it is not expressly printed on the dash, I assumed GM would have made something close to calibration at least. I spoke to Royal Purple, Valvoline, and Lucas today. I hate to say this, but I feel Lucas may be...

    OIL PSI / BRAND / WEIGHT

    Hi everyone, I know oil pressure seems like a common question. But, what I don't understand is the constant variations; especially when there is void of any precursor. I have a 2003 4x4 with a 5.3. I replaced the pump, timing equipment, and pick up tube, gaskets ect. And it ran 35-40 PSI cold...

    Ebrake

    Hey guys On my 01 XL I was installing the new brakes. I took off the old rotor, I seen a lot of brake material and dust in the hat near the ebrake area. Before this, my ebrake pedal was very soft, like zero resistance when activating it. On both sides, even with the new rotors there is light...

    Hello everyone, I have a 2001 yukon xl 1500 I did some suspension work and noticed the front bump stops are not there; they have disintegrated. And the rears are like peanut brittle.

    2001 yukon xl driveshaft

    Yes. That's the side u had an issue with. The joint fits tight in the end of the shaft. It's just the end that goes into the yoke on the differential. Where did u cross reference 2-1569VC? I got a different number from a Google search? If you look at the part number you located- " 2-1569VC" it...

    2001 yukon xl driveshaft

    Thank you for the reply. I did remove the cap aftwr I pushed one side out. But this cap would have to be sent back thru the other side from which it came so I could get it off. I took it to a shop and had them use a press, and clean up fhe flakes of aluminum. But now I have a new problem. The...

    2001 yukon xl driveshaft

    Hello everyone I have a 2001 yukon XL 1500 2wd slt. Had ujoints go on me. Took the shaft out to replace. Easy to get out. Nightmare to replace joints. My 2003 slt xl 1500 4wd is all steel shafts. I was confused to see an aluminum shaft on a 5600lb truck. Insane. They used to be expensive to...
