Replacing the three primary positive battery cables w/new GM parts... should be pretty easy, right?!
The cable that runs from the positive battery terminal to the underhood fuse panel requires the fuse panel be extracted as it connects to a conductive "finger" on the underside of the fuse...
Got a call from my bride on Friday at lunchtime. She was at girlfriend's and when she went to return home, the shifter just moved up/down with no resistance whatsoever. Did some quick Google research and discovered it's another common issue. Was able to leave work and pickup a Dorman 14092...
So my bride came home last night and as is usual in the summer months here in AZ, she popped the hood and turned on the fan in the garage to vent out the heat.
She noticed a strong antifreeze odor and gave me a shout. Sure enough, the water pump is leaking via the weep hole.
Sadly, the water...
Spent most of yesterday evening battling gremlins following replacement of the battery in my bride's '13 Tahoe LTZ
This weekend, it had started giving the tell-tale signs that this summer's record, long 110+ heat finally exacted its toll.
Weak/slow cranking and a new dash warning: "Battery...

We'd already replaced the LR, using a Dorman replacement with great results going on...
My bride called shortly before I left the office yesterday. Her LR window dropped down into the door after she stowed her bag of books (7th grade Science teacher) and shut the door. The RR window did the same back in 2019, so figured the regulator on that side had likely broken too. The white...
My bride discovered the seat belt in our '13 Tahoe wouldn't latch when leaving work yesterday. No matter how much she fiddled with it, she couldn't get it to latch, so she drove home without a seatbelt. I checked it out and it appears a spring inside the plastic end has broken, preventing the...
2013 Tahoe, 5.3L, 127K miles.
Bought her used at ~46K miles.
I change the engine oil/filter every 4K miles, Trans fluid/filter every 2 years, transfer case and diff's every year.
Engine runs and idles smoothly, right at 500RPM in Drive per the dash tach.
When pulling away from a traffic light...
