    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Swapped the water pump and belt tensioner last night, but ran into an issue. Snapped 2 bolts on the pump, anybody have any recommendations on to how to remove them? It's a 10mm bolt from the water pump pulley, I'd say about 1/2 inch in width?

    Loud chirp during start up 2016 GMC Yukon

    Pictures attached. I installed this part- can't tell if its real or not, but it didnt have a metal gasket. The material is like cotton or paper, would anyone recommend changing the gasket to a metal one? I wanted to use the old one but it was warped. Would it be a bad idea to drive this thing...

    Loud chirp during start up 2016 GMC Yukon

    Well, the parts were swapped, but 2 bolts snapped while replacing the water pump pulley. The old one had a bit of play, and the new one does not although its missing two bolts, the play is less than before. Any tips on how to remove broken bolts from the engine block? Are the water pump bolts...

    Loud chirp during start up 2016 GMC Yukon

    Parts finally arrived today, the tensioner and water pump pulley will be replaced. Hopefully this will clear up the intermittent noise at start up. It hasn't made the noise, I guess only when its humid and chilly in the mornings.

    Strange noise coming from drivers side wheel well - engine 2016 5.3

    Will definitely buy one now. It seems like there’s something wrong every day now. Anyways, it’s cheaper to repair than to buy a new vehicle (in this case).

    Strange noise coming from drivers side wheel well - engine 2016 5.3

    I am using Valvoline R&P 5w-30 on my 2016 Yukon. This is the second time I change the oil b/c the first time I ran it, I heard sputtering coming from the oil filter area (I thought it was a clogged filter). The oil was only used for 1k miles, mostly short trips - sometimes 1 block, other times...

    No I did not. Would you recommend changing it? I think the noise is coming from this part, is this the water pump?

    Loud chirp during start up 2016 GMC Yukon

    I posted on the wrong forum, moving it here: Installed mud flaps and changed the serpentine belt on my ‘16 Yukon, figured that would cure the problem “chirp” at startup. Whether it’s cold or hot, it does it. Anybody have an idea as to what it could be? Thanks. + I walnut blasted my intake...

    Never ending debate - best oil weight

    Yes it is a 5.3. Of course it's too soon to tell in my case, but do you have any experience with valvoline r&p? I want to see the end results to determine if its worth completing the 4 oil changes with the same brand. I've heard good things about napa full synthetic. I think its made by...

    What brand name oil

    I am using valvoline R&P since my truck has 104k miles. I have tried Rotella T6 Multi vehicle 5w-30, regular pennzoil, Amsoil OE series. I couldn't really tell a difference between the 4 brands, but do some more research on which additives the brands use and which ones you need, and pick from there.

    Never ending debate - best oil weight

    I am running 5w-30 Valvoline R&P on my 2016 Yukon with 104k miles. Can't tell a difference in performance yet, but it is recommended by Valvoline to use R&P up to 4 times for best results. I do hear some noises though, I don't know if it's the fuel pump, the lifters going bad, or an exhaust...

    OEM McGard Wheel Lock Lost & Need Replacement- SOLVED

    I am looking for the 5-point star wheel locks. I lost one as I was driving on the highway, I guess I forgot to tighten it all the way since I had rotated the tires weeks prior. Anyway, I bought part number - 09599493- as a "crutch" until I find the original lock set. Unfortunately, my original...

    Walnut Blasting L83 and Intake Manifold Swap

    Good evening, I accomplished what I thought was an impossible task:eek::boxing:. I have NO formal mechanic experience so this was quite the challenge for me. Sure, I've done basic maintenance all by myself, (spark plug change, tire rotation, MIT & catch can installation) but that does not come...

    Lifter tick or normal noises?

    I’m also trying to figure out what that high pitched squeaking is. I’m thinking fuel pump? I’d like to hear y’all’s input.

    Lifter tick or normal noises?

    Since I can’t post videos on here, I uploaded this short video to YouTube. Can anyone tell if it is the lifters or a leaking exhaust manifold? Thanks

    2016 GMC Yukon Front Differential Location

    I wanted to change both differential oils on my 2016 Yukon as it has 98k miles. I've looked up how to videos on youtube but when I crawl under my vehicle it looks nothing like the ones I've seen in the videos. Can anybody tell me where the drain and fill plugs are? Took some pics of these...

    Finally trimmed the lower front valance. Overall width is now 1 1/8” Looks pretty trick if you ask me. The only tools you actually need are a reciprocating saw and xacto knife. With the knife, you can carve and smooth out any jagged edges if you don’t feel like sanding the plastic down- just...

    Good evening, Changed the rear diff oil on my 2016 Yukon w/ 98k miles. I think it has never been changed due to the color. Followed some YT videos, and finished in 1.5 hours- I've never done this before so I took my time and did everything carefully. I used AC Delco 10-4016 75w-90 Gear Oil...
