    Transmission was confused, service stabilitrak, and blind spot fault?

    Had an interesting morning. Started up the Yukon and it kept unlocking itself multiple times. Looked down and got a service stabilitrak and traction control. Blindspot warning was broken. There was no underline underneath what gear I was in… I could still shift from P to R or D but the initial...

    Torque converter starting to quit?

    I'll start with I don't know squat about torque converters and transmissions, but here's the scenario. I parked it for probably 10 days while on vacation and then came back, started it up, drove 300 miles on a road trip for work, no issues. Next day, about 50F going up a slight incline at about...

    Is there a way to tighten the mirror glass to stop vibration?

    Title says it all. Driver side mirror has slowly gotten more shaky over the past few thousand miles. Not sure if there's anything to tighten behind the mirror, but figured I'd ask here before I go crazy with a prybar and a screwdriver :biggun:

    Discussion - Oil pressure discrepancy over an oil change interval

    For some context, I recently did a DOD delete along with a new HV oil pump. I am not sure if I am noticing this just because I’m staring at the oil pressure gauge more often, but… I noticed that as I drove more miles on my oil that my cold start and cruising oil pressures dropped over time...

    SOLVED - Questionable noise when cold and under load

    This noise recently developed: CEL is for cats so it's unrelated. You don't hear it at idle, it becomes apparent at about 2k rpm under some moderate acceleration, and it goes away when warm. I haven't done much staring under the hood yet, but I don't really know what this noise would be...

    Driver side mirror defrost not working

    My driver side defrost mirror isn't working, as evident by the recent ice events. I have a Denali... the auto dimming is working and I can move/fold in the mirror just fine. But the defrost doesn't work. It works just fine on the passenger side. Would this be a contender to replace the...

    Looking for Bose front speaker replacement

    Front passenger door has what I think is cone sag. Getting a really annoying scratching noise from it even when the radio is off. Does anyone have a stock bose door speaker they are willing to part ways with? Also, I don't know if you could flip these speakers upside down to fix the noise over...

    1 year of ownership + 22k miles driven

    Figured I'd make this post to celebrate 1 year of ownership, 22k miles driven + give a huge thanks to everybody so far on this forum. This thing has been both great to drive and a massive headache. I had no idea how deep things would get when I purchased it originally. I bought it for cheap...

    P0521 after DOD delete

    I recently popped a P0521 after about 2000 ish miles post DOD delete. I had it pop up and clear itself after a drive cycle at one point and then it popped back up. Not sure if anyone else has had issues with their oil pressure sensor after a DOD delete. I am seeing no issues with the current...

    CEL for P0420, P0430, P0171, P0131, P0134

    Recently threw these codes. They have been on the backburner with other issues I have been dealing with. It recently started right before my DOD delete with just the P0420 and P0430 and i was running e85. Then I picked up the other 3 after clearing it. I don’t have a code scanner so I’ve just...

    [SOLVED] Need help identifying oil leak when the car is on

    Finished my DOD delete. Truck runs great. 70psi cold start makes me happy In the process of upgrading many things, I have unintentionally upgraded to the self-lubing chassis. I am happy that it isn’t burning oil because I thought that was what was happening at first. I am getting smoke as the...

    (Partially solved, DOD delete is completed) Need help. DOD delete went south…

    Took my heads off to find my #4 piston ready to leave this world. No idea what to do now. Pan is already off so I could swap the single piston. Tuner said he’s surprised it ran as well as it did. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Tower plugs vs. VLOM gaskets for DOD delete

    I have noticed some companies sell a VLOM in their DOD kits that have gaskets on the VLOM to seal the towers. Is this sufficient enough? Or do you 100% need to use something hard to block off the towers?

    Advice on timing chain replacement (or new tensioner)

    Spoiler alert: some parts are ordered for DOD delete. Now, I am trying to figure out if I should replace my timing chain while I’m in there. I don’t know if a replacement tensioner will help. Here’s the only video I have from when I had the pan off… Any advice is welcome. I am leaning towards...

    Will a DOD delete fix a lifter tick?

    Forgive me. At face value, I am sure this sounds like a stupid question. I also apologize if I'm beating a dead horse here with my excessive postings asking vaguely similar questions... LOL I am getting a parts list together for a DOD delete. I am slightly worried that for some reason, if I...

    Are the new 6.2 starters backwards compatible?

    Title says it all. Probably will be replacing my starter soon. The faster crank speed sounds better in the brand new trucks, IMO. Didn't know if a newer starter would fit on an L94. Mine might just be so old and cranky that it sounds slow when a new OEM one would sound like the brand new...

    Why have more than one SUV?

    Mods feel free to move b/c this probably has a better location than here... I ask this because I am genuinely curious. I notice a lot of you guys have multiple SUVs, especially of the same generation. It probably comes with the enthusiast territory. What's the benefits of having multiple...

    DOD Delete - "Stock" or stage 1 cam? VVT Delete?

    Getting a list together for a DOD delete. Looking like things can get real expensive real quick depending on what your scope ends up being. I figured while I'm putting in a new cam, might as well put an upgraded cam in, but it's where things get messy. I am trying to figure out if a stage 1...
