    Best VIN check site? Carfax worth it (or alternatives)?

    Is Oil Analysis Helpful In Providing Indication of Impending AFM Lifter Failure?

    I’m with finding a reputable oil analysis lab that is knowledgeable in your situation. It’s a complicated process, but once it’s established it may save you some money. Good luck.

    Hello again...

    Dealers can be real tight *** a$$holes. You need to do some shopping around. Some of our breathers went far out of state to find a dealer that is willing to DEAL. Going “Used” sometimes the dealers are just as bad. Good luck!

    Y pipe leaking at exhaust manifold flange

    Magna Flow has a technical assist section on manga flow.com that might be helpful. Otherwise, you might try expand the male side of the set up. I once used a small fiberglass patch that wrapped around the male side. It goes on wet but the exhaust heats it up and hardens/seals the joint. Hope...

    No Video Disc Inserted

    You might try disconnecting the battery for around 10 to 15 minutes. This will reset most electrical systems. Of course you’ll have to reset the time and probably the radio presets, but hopefully you won’t have any “No DVD/CD” lights illuminated.

    Hood Deflectors

    Mahalo for the info. Looks great, but it comes back as “Unavailable “. But I’m still looking to get around this quandary. They have another problem. I enter the make, model, even my license plate number and they give me parts for Ford, Toyota, everything except GMC. It’s very frustrating!

    Hood Deflectors

    This is nice. Will it fit a 2012 GMC Yukon SLE 5.3L RWD? If so message me and see if we can work something out. Mahalo!

    Hood Deflectors

    Of course! My wife & I use Amazon & Prime frequently. We like getting exactly what we are looking for. The selection is far better than the brick & mortar stores. Did your search say that it was available?

    Hood Deflectors

    Amazon says that it’s unavailable and doesn’t know “if” it will be restocked. It looks good though! Mahalo for the help!

    Hood Deflectors

    Unfortunately, they don’t have anything for my year & model. They have tons for newer years, but the older the vehicle the less is available. Mahalo for the info.

    Hood Deflectors

    Aloha! I’m reaching out to all of you as I have exhausted all my ideas as to “Where can I acquire, purchase a hood deflector for my 2012 GMC Yukon 5.3L RWD vehicle”. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Seems my vehicle is too old for most sites, although I did find a company in Canada, Action...

    my brake lights wont turn off

    Could be “fluid lock”. Bleed the brakes and the master cylinder then adjust the brake pedal in to a travel of around 3-4 inches. Hope that helps.

    Does anyone know what this is?

    Mahalo for the info. I’ll see if I can find a use 4 it. Also, there was a USB cord long enough to reach the vehicle behind me when plugged in. The wife claimed the phone holder. She’s a gadget person (nerd), so she claimed it as soon as she saw it. I have a cup holder/phone station and I only...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    I found this today and I don’t know what it is or for. Anyone got any ideas? The car charger part has a small wire fuse (can’t read the info on it). It looks relatively new and I found it with a K Captain Phone Holder, so maybe it goes with a phone set up. Any ideas?

    A Vehicle that’s as old as I Am!

    Where are we mounting our fire extinguishers?

    Knowing that a fire has to breathe pointing the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the fire will actually “suck” the retardant into the heart of the fire and extinguish it quickly. In your case there was no way to extinguish the fire. It was enclosed in the engine bay and drawing air from...

    To Change or Not Change my Transmission Fluid & Filter

    New fluid has additives to keep seals, O rings and other rubber parts soft and supple. Usually it’s something along the line of Anolins. The problem happens when the old seal or O ring has a crack or worn spot where the Anolin contacts the inner rubber and begins to swell and eventually turns to...

    And I thought Tahoes/Yukons Were Expensive

    That could be called “Sticker Shock”, but unfortunately the cost of a new truck is way too expensive for most people.

    New radiator leaking fluid from upper transition line questions

    Lubing it up before insertion always helps…that’s what she told me.

    Canadian Origin Vehicles Exempt?

    The lights will stay on as long as the vehicle is running as they are connected to the engine via the computer. If you disconnect them the truck will not run. I tried it on my 1999 Tahoe SLT and it was a waste of time, effort and money. Canada is serious about vehicle safety laws and regulations.

    Is just for T.V.

    I watch the TV show “FBI” and they run around in new, black Chevy Tahoes…nice! I’ve noticed that their rear passenger windows roll all the way down. Is that just for TV? My 1999 Tahoe LT windows and my 2012 Yukon SLE rear windows only roll half way down. I was told they can’t go all the way...

    Is this a Death Sentence (frame rust)

    But realistically, if you can’t afford another truck then you probably can’t afford to get another frame. I had the same problem with my 1999 Tahoe LT and it broke my heart to get rid of it, my current 2012 Yukon SLE softened the blow. Find a used one and use the current for parts. That’s if...
