    Is this a Death Sentence (frame rust)

    Thank you everyone for all your responses. I already have patch panels for the body but haven’t had the time to actually weld them on (it’s hard to when it’s parked at The Mrs’ work) I’m willing to try to patch a frame but didn’t know if there was any point if it will just break again. Maybe...

    Rust repairs

    If your truck is rusted just like mine was, it might be good to check the area in the back door frame to see how solid it is… mine was rusty on the bottom in a similar fashion but these dog legs were rotten behind the paint (nothing had come through yet)

    Is this a Death Sentence (frame rust)

    TLDR: Has anyone patched frame rust and had a good experience? Or is it not worth it? So I was jacking up my 08 Yukon XL yesterday to put the towing tires on it (load range E) 3 sides of the truck were as normal but the last wheel (rear drivers side) as I pumped up the floor jack, it was...

    Anyone wanna play internet diagnosis (08 Yukon XL suspension noise)

    I mean, all the U-joints on there have 300k+ on them… I can certainly check those too.

    Anyone wanna play internet diagnosis (08 Yukon XL suspension noise)

    I tried putting it in Neutral while on the freeway a couple times-the noise stayed the same and didn’t change with the engine revs. I think part of it is the wind noise covers it up so I just can’t hear it. I think I feel the vibration as much as hear it, if that makes sense.

    Anyone wanna play internet diagnosis (08 Yukon XL suspension noise)

    No, only when we’re pulling the trailer. Otherwise it’s 55-60psi

    Anyone wanna play internet diagnosis (08 Yukon XL suspension noise)

    My 08 Yukon XL has just started to make a weird noise. 60-75mph it’s a kind of humming or thrumming vibration. The tires are less than a year old, the front springs and struts/shocks are about a year old, a shop inspected it like 1.5 years ago and replaced the ball joints (I don’t know if they...

    Which flavor of “LS” do I have after replacement

    I could add that the truck has 320k total, according to the car fax I’m the 5th owner and the first owner was Hertz, so this was a rental vehicle originally. It’s pulled my camper trailer the whole time I’ve had it, toted my 4 kids everywhere and done my 80+ mile daily commute with no problems...

    Which flavor of “LS” do I have after replacement

    So after a lot of searching online, my truck (08 Yukon XL) should have been built with an LC9 engine according to the VIN. However the long block was replaced by a Chevy dealership 5 years ago (I have receipts for everything) My question is, would they have used another LC9, or is there a...

    Oil leak while towing

    TLDR: can a loose oil dipstick leak enough oil to coat the outside of a travel trailer (and lose a quart of oil in 150-ish miles?) 2008, 5.3, 310k on truck but trans replaced at 101k and engine replaced at 190k by previous owner. I check oil RELIGIOUSLY and change it between 3k-5k. Truck mostly...
