    No reverse

    Let's see what you guys think here. I was out and about this morning and had stopped to grab something from work. When I went to back up from the building so I could leave, I suddenly couldn't. For some reason it was like something was blocking me from moving. But I was able to move forward...

    Anyone ever dealt with engine overheating with extreme cold? It's -30 here this morning and my coolant temperature was climbing past 240F.

    Battery tray replacement - bad idea?

    I had to change my battery last week and noticed my battery tray had definitely seen better days. It's starting to rot away and the bolt for the hold down was seized and broke. I have a new tray. How much trouble am I asking for to change it? Should I expect seized bolts that need to be...

    What would you guys do here?

    So this a bit conspiracy theory level right now but I'm not sure what else to think and frankly pisses me off. Back on May 12th I had taken my Tahoe to a local shop for some work to be done, one of the things being the AC to be charged since it wasn't working and I suspected a leak. No leak...

    Sunroof stuck open

    I opened my sunroof on my drive home from a weekend trip and now it's stuck open. Any tips on getting it closed? The fuse is good but I can't find the relay. The switch on the schematic doesn't match what's in the vehicle. Orange is power and I do have voltage there. But jumping any...

    Rear blower not working

    So my Tahoe has the automatic dual climate control. A few weeks ago the rear blower stopped working. I do have power to the two plug for the motor. Is it just that motor is bad? Messing around with this a tonight. If I fiddle with the controls in the back seat I can only get the display to...

    Looks like I need a new AC condenser

    My AC stopped working here a couple weeks ago. It hadn't worked at all last summer but I never got around to doing anything with it. Last month I had the system charged and they couldn't find a leak at the time so they sent me on my way. It lasted maybe 2 weeks. I finally got to looking here...

    Trucool 40k install - but now did I screw up?

    I did the trucool 40k install over the weekend (yay!). But now I'm wondering if I actually screwed this up. I opted to go with the kit from Glenn's Auto Performance and used their line kit with eliminates the cooler built into the radiator. I found out tonight now that the cooler section...

    Shock hardware

    I'm looking to change my shocks here in the near future. Are the bolts GM used for the shocks anything special? I'm not sure how much trouble I'll have getting these off and I'd rather put new ones on if I can.

    Leaking transmission cooler lines

    Noticed here a couple weeks ago that I'm going to need to change transmission cooler lines soon. I have the KNP RPO code and looks like there's 3 lines for it. Should I just figure changing all 3?

    Washer fluid leak

    I have a washer fluid leak in front of my drivers front tire when I try to clean my windshield. From what I've found so far the tank is the likely cause. I can't see anything though laying underneath and don't want to take it apart to find out since it's my daily driver. Should I just figure...

    Battery blankets anyone?

    Anyone live in cold climates and had any luck using a battery blanket? We've had 2 mornings here in a row of hellish cold temps (this morning was -25) and I had to replace my 2 year old battery today. The engine started yesterday but I do kinda wonder now if the cold was already taking its...

    Drive train noise....somewhere

    So I have this odd noise that shows up when I'm driving with four wheel drive engaged. Really it shows up almost as soon as the vehicle starts moving. I had thought it was coming from my front axle assembly so I swapped in a replacement but there was no change. It's not tire related. It...

    Low coolant temp reading

    Are there any common issues with the coolant temp sensors on these engines? I thought I was having an issue with my engine not reaching normal operating temp. My gauge wasn't showing normal temp and I verified temp by looking to see what was being broadcast with a scan tool just to make sure...

    Continued front axle trouble

    I had a post here a while back (like fall of 2022) about some trouble I was having doing some reassembly on my front axle after changing a shaft seal and needle bearing that mates to the drivers side CV shaft. Through some issues I ended up having to pretty much disassemble the entire thing...

    Exterior door handle - it don't work.

    I went to leave for work this morning and my drivers door was a bit froze shut (was 9F here). I had to tug the handle a couple times but then something inside the door broke so now the handle is not functional. The inside handle still works though. I was messing around with it after I got...

    Strange vibration

    I've got a vibration when driving that I haven't been able to figure out yet. It doesn't occur until I reach 65 mph. My first thought is u-joints but they've been tight whenever I check them. But from looking at them I can't tell if they've been changed recently. I do have some radial play...

    Goofy electrical problem

    Was cleaning up frame grounds in effort to troubleshoot another issue but now seems like I have a whole new issue. When I start the engine I have the following symptoms now: -ABS and parking brake indicators turn on when driving in reverse but turn off when driving forward -pass lock light...

    Radio initializing message

    Figured I'd share this since I really didn't find much info on the subject. Earlier this week my radio (it's the stock system) just stopped working one morning and wouldn't turn on. It would just display "Initializing" on the screen sometimes and wouldn't turn on. I only found one forum...

    Engine dies - but why?

    Researching this myself but figured I'd see what the brain trust had to say. Has anyone had an issue where the engine just randomly dies? I've had this twice now this week. Monday I was driving through a parking lot at idle and the engine just died for no reason that I could tell. It started...

    Mod planning

    Alright, help me chart a path here guys. A little background. Yesterday after work I was crawling around under my hood looking for an oil leak since my engine has been kinda slobbering on itself and seemingly dripping a bit onto the exhaust (thinking valve cover gaskets right now). I noticed...

    Air box question

    I noticed the other day that my air box lid has a broken tab for one of the screws. I'm not sure what the assembly code is for it but its not the high capacity K47 option. I called a couple local salvage yards seeing if they would have one and no one did. But one place did have the K47...

    Trailer light plug mounting

    So I'm needing to change out my trailer light plug and also need to find a home for it because the mounting bracket has rusted away. Has anyone else mounted theirs in the bumper like this? Anyone done anything different? I'm not really a fan of the mounting bracket that would locate the plug...

    Salvage yard trouble/Arm rests

    Question for the masses. Wondering if I have much of a leg to stand on just move on. I'll try to explain this the best I can. I had been searching for replacement arm rests for my rear passenger doors because several mount points are broken off. I have pieces that I could try gluing them...

    High side AC port issue

    I went to to troubleshoot why my AC doesn't seem to function right and when I pulled off the dust cap for the high side port the refrigerant leaked out. So I picked up a repair kit this afternoon that has a new port and valve cores but I can't get the old port off the line. I have a vacuum...
