    Dream Garages

    Lots of valuable tools in there, including a 15 x 78 LeBlond lathe that i fully restored top-to-bottom. I don't want rust happening. So when I say climate controlled I mean it's insulated, has heat, and I run the air-conditioning just enough to keep the humidity down. It actually stays fairly...

    Could this be indicative of a BCM failure?

    This has happened a few times now... Heated seats stop working intermittently (I'm assuming other things are problematic as well but it's the failure of the heated seats we notice). While the heated seats are not working I also have communication problems with my Tech 2 accessing and performing...

    Scan tool

    IMHO, tech2 and don't look back. My elm327 won't read commanded throttle position, only the actual throttle position... this is absolutely necessary when trouble shooting on the models with electronic throttle control... I'm still learning what the tech 2 is capable of and I'm glad I spent the...

    5.3 won’t run good when warmed up

    I bought mine from chinacardiags.com and I'm happy. It didn't come with the usb software license like they said but I don't know that it really matters because there is a license file included on the software disc. $308 delivered; had I waited I could have got it for about $10 cheaper delivered...

    Found: Carseat tether bracket from 00-06 3rd Row seat

    My seat is missing this bracket (circled in the photo). I'm guessing that at some point the handle on our seat was removed, and when replacing it they forgot to put the bracket back on before the handle. The bracket is held on by only 1 bolt (same bolt that holds the left side of the seat handle...

    Dream Garages

    My garage setup is far from my "dream garage" but I know a lot of people would give up a lot to have what I have. I have an oversized 2-car attached garage with built-in cabinets and large storage shelves along one side and there is still room to swing the doors open. Then I have a 30x30...

    Rear wiper

    Thanks! Unfortunately it looks like they only sell by the roll @ $540 each... clear will work just fine!

    Embarrassing - only one OEM fender flare

    It took you 2 years to notice that? No offense intended but thats funny... I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you... bc that's something you just have to laugh at once you realize it. .. pull your inner fender loose and see what you can see from the inside

    Guess the sound?

    I have a Tech 2, where do I check for that? Am I just looking at timing numbers or is there a specific place/procedure to watch for detonation?

    2002 tahoe headlights stay on all the time in daytime with key on running

    The brightness of the interior lights is controlled by the ambient light sensor on the dash. is the brightness changing with differing light levels? If not my bet is bad sensor.

    5.3 won’t run good when warmed up

    It's definitely possible... That being said, I re-read your op... I once had a MAF (on my Buick) have problems only when hot. Driving down the road it would just go into a fit of stuttering and no power, would idle fine. Shutting it off and letting it cool down would buy me another 4 minutes or...

    5.3 won’t run good when warmed up

    I second this! Autozone, free tool rental. My AZ store has a universal fuel pressure test kit. It has several adapters and a fairly long hose. When I was having problems I was able to route the hose up under the hook and lay it on my windshield so I could watch it while driving. Turned out my...

    The fluids are relatively cheap... I put Mobil 1 syn in my differentials, used 4 qt at $12/ea. T-case isn't bad...

    Rear wiper

    That's something I didn't think of... heck, even clear vinyl would work... Do you know any sources for color-matched vinyl?

    16 volts charging 2004 Tahoe LT 5.3L flex fuel

    I have a Buick that has always run 15.4-15.8 V, idle vs revved up doesn't make much difference unless the electrical system is heavily loaded at idle at which point the voltage will drop lower because it can't produce enough energy at the low engine speed. While it does seem abnormal, I've been...

    Guess the sound?

    Hmm... that makes me wonder... I have a "tinny" sound when I get on it... I assumed it was piston slap but I don't know that I've ever heard what piston slap actually sounds like. I wonder if it's just a heat-shield.

    New Yukon owner

    Have you changed all fluids? It's cheap insurance. I changed diffs and power steering when I got mine a couple months ago. Been planning to do the rest (transfer case, brake, and transmission) soon. Mine had a new transmission put in about 30k miles before I bought it so it's not urgent to...

    Thanks! That's helpful... I was confused with the shale vs pewter when looking at my RPO codes

    That may work for some but too many stone roads here... if I don't run it to wipe the dust off I won't be able to see...

    Rear wiper

    Operates fine... I'm more concerned about long-term paint damage. .. dust plus wiper contacting body is a recipe for paint abrasion
