    Front and Rear Bumper Replacements

    Hello, I have been trying to find some metal bumper replacements for my 98 Yukon. No seems to carry them. I wanted to ask if anyone has come across some for the older style trucks. Mostly I want to add a spare tire carrier for a full size spare. Any suggestions?

    Hello, I have been trying to hunt down a gray cargo cover for my Yukon. So far nothing has turned up. Does any one know of substitutes that would work in the 98 Yukon from another vehicle?

    Tire catching on turn at full lock

    Hello, I have a 2006 Tahoe 2wd. A few months ago I replaced the tie rod end links and had an alignment. My Tahoe has about 150K miles on them and almost everything is original. I have noticed recently when turning all the way to the left it feels like the passenger side front tire is sticking...

    Puffs of Blue Smoke on Cold Starts and Oil Loss

    Is that something I can see when I take off the valve cover? Or do I need to pull the plugs?

    Puffs of Blue Smoke on Cold Starts and Oil Loss

    Hello, 2006 Tahoe here with the 5.3. Recently I noticed some unusual oil consumption on this vehicle. It never used to burn oil or need oil between changes but now I am putting in at least 1 quart every 3000 miles. I have also noticed on cold start ups puffs of smoke, it looks blueish for oil...

I will reset the time and then anywhere form 1 day to a few days later it will reset. Anyone experienced this? I have not experience any starting issues but...

    Clunk from back of Tahoe While Driving

    Just wanted to update here. I went through and re tightened the bolts on the shocks with my torque wrench and they definitely had some room to go. So far it seems to have cleared up the issue. Thanks for the input.

    Clunk from back of Tahoe While Driving

    Update* Last night I pulled out the spare and rechecked the shock bolts, the back ones were not loose but I was able to tighten them down just a little bit more. I drove the Tahoe to the office this morning and it seems better but I still heard the thunking sound at least twice. I bought Monroe...

    could antifreeze in transmission be causing the shuttering between 45/55mph? h

    I had the same problem. New trans and new radiator. The trans cooler in the radiator was leaking causing water/coolant to get into the transmission.

    Clunk from back of Tahoe While Driving

    Hello, My 2006 Tahoe 2wd is starting to experience a clunk while driving. At first I thought it was a loose shock since I just replaced them but I checked last night and they seem fine. It only happens while driving over dips or bumps in the road. While driving on a smooth surface there is no...

    Bad Throttlebody assembly?

    Thanks for the advice, I will check the gasket for leaks. Sometimes I hear the vacuum pump running when nothing is on. Is that a sign of a leak somewhere? **Edit: I meant to add I have thoroughly cleaned the MAF and no change in symptoms.

    Bad Throttlebody assembly?

    Hello- Over the last few months I have been trying to track down some vibrations and sound in the engine bay. Currently the symptoms are when idling cold and in reverse the engines will shake making noise in the cabin. The shaking also occurs when the heat or ac is on, regardless of fan speed...

    Throttle Body Issues

    No codes at all. I did move the plate when I cleaned the TB. No noise when I move the steering wheel but I do get vibration when I turn on the AC and it also makes the RPM's move. I have never changed the pulleys , tensioners or belts on this vehicle. The AC pulley has some wiggle from side to...

    Throttle Body Issues

    Update. Took off the TB and cleaned it up. Truck is definitely running smoother but I am still getting the random vibrations from it. It also idles higher than before, it drops back down to 600 when I warm it up regardless of whether it's cold or warm start. My idle still bounces a little during...

    Vibration at 40-55 mph

    Based on my experience with this tire's could never have caused this problem. The rumbling shudder would happen only under specific engine load and speed, 52-60 mph with light throttle. The was the most frustrating thing about it was shops kept saying it was my tires even though they were...

    How do you keep your vehicle from being stolen?

    Good insurance. If they want it, no matter what you do they can just tow it.

    Throttle Body Issues

    Hello- I have been trying to chase down some vibrations I have been having in my 2006 Tahoe. First I thought it was the AC since it would mostly happen when I turned on the air but slowly I started to feel it when the AC was off. I cleaned the MAF and air filter and there was no change. Last...

    Vibration at stop from AC

    Sorry to highjack this but I have been chasing vibrations as well when the AC comes on. How much play should be in the idle pulley for the AC belt? I checked mine last night and it has some wiggle from side to side, but not too much.

    Ac Clutch or AC Compressor

    I wanted to add some notes. The vibration seems to be happening even when the AC is off, just less. When I rev the engine between 700-1000RPMS it seems to be most noticeable then goes away after you pass 1000. Could this be the IAC?

    Ac Clutch or AC Compressor

    Some more information on this. When the AC is off there is no sound or vibration, everything is normal even with the fan operating. I opened the hood with the engine running and turned on the AC. When the AC kicks in the engine starts to shake. Would the pulley cause these or should I just...
