Got the Yukon back. Dropped it off at 8:00 this morning and they called at 12:30 to tell me it was done. They charged me $225 labor to get the door open, swap the latch assembly and put it all back together. Money well spent at this point. The latch was a Dorman, #931318, $107 at Rock Auto...
I’m gonna let the body shop do it. It is gonna be cold this week and I wouldn’t be able to mess with it again until Saturday afternoon or Sunday anyway. Body shop will hopefully have it done tomorrow if the part comes today. Besides, the shop gave me 90 minutes of free labor today. I kind of...
It is the latch mechanism itself. I felt it was something on the side where it latches to the striker and the body shop agreed. It is not the handle or linkage rods. I can reach down to the latch with the door panel pulled back and swing the arm to open the latch but the latch isn’t moving...
I messed around with it for two hours on Sunday. No dice. I took it to a body shop in town this morning. Shop tech and I messed with it for an hour and a half, no dice. The new latch should arrive today. Going back to the body shop tomorrow to let them do what they have to do. They have a...
… And will not open from either the inside or outside handles. Got some ice and snow from Saturday night through yesterday evening and it is hovering in the teens right now. I went out Sunday morning and got in the Yukon and started it up to thaw it and scrape ice. I left it run and had no...
I replaced the switch assembly Saturday night. So far, everything works exactly like it should. The part number I used is from Standard Automotive, part number DWS-394. This is the second time I have warrantied it out and the 4th one I have put in since replacing the original. To recap, I...
Update… after what feels like 90 phone calls, I found a dealer with the part in stock. Non-negotiable $310 plus tax and shipping put it at $350. Then my local dealer will charge between $100-$165 to program it. At this point I am going to warranty out the the Standard Automotive part and see...
Sorry to take so long to reply… to answer some questions… the part number I referenced for the switch is supposed to be preprogrammed for my particular Yukon with power folding mirrors, adjustable pedals, heated turn signal mirrors, etc. And yes, I was disappointed with an Amazon part and even...
Having issues with the window switch/module on my 2004. Replaced the stock switch earlier this year because the windows wouldn’t go down all the time and when they did, it would be a pain to get them back up. The door locks started randomly trying to lock and unlock also.
I pulled it and...
I know this thread is a little old, but I wanted to know if you ever got this fixed. I have a 1210 in my Impala and it is stuck on the boot up screen also. Been like this for a while and I haven’t decided if I want to send it to the eBay guy or attempt it myself with the provided instructions.
Just save your old trans pan and bolts to swap over to the new transmission, unless your stock pan doesn’t have a drain plug and you want one… Then I would buy the Dorman replacement pan. You will most likely need a replacement filter to accommodate the stock or Dorman pan. I’d buy the GM...
Final update to this project… the transmission has not leaked since the pan swap and it has continued to run fantastic. I bought a case of AC Delco Dexron 6 to do a fluid change on it within the next 5000 miles but other than that, I would definitely buy another Summit transmission and recommend...
Yes it is. I actually found that converter on here when I was looking for one. It has been good so far. No issues with it and they include a prepaid return shipping label for your core to send back to them.
If you are trying to keep it at the stock stall, get the GM replacement or the one I used from Transend, Part # CV-GM92A . I went with this one because the GM one was on national back order at the time.
If you want a higher stall converter than you should probably get a recommendation from a...
It was the OSC, part number OS 2921 from Rock Auto. I posted a pic of a part number spreadsheet I made up to get a final tab on this project. I’ve had no issues with the radiator or cooling system, especially with these hot days we have been having. I will keep an eye on it this winter though.
You are right about their warranty being good. Also, their customer service is also top notch.
I ended up experiencing another leak and this time, Summit sent me a replacement GM transmission oil pan and gasket to replace the pan that the trans came with. The GM pan has a ridge that runs the...
It wasn’t bad at all, just a little time consuming given my 55-60 hour a week work schedule. The shops around me wanted $3500 to rebuild my trans and that was motivation enough to take this on and get it done. I’d do it again as a side job with no issue.
An update after almost 2000 miles of driving…
The transmission has been damn near perfect. The truck has driven great on all of the trips we have taken over the summer. There were two issues with it that I just finished addressing this morning and wanted to mention it so that it can be...
Two more things worth mentioning about this replacement… I went to AutoZone and bought a Felpro transfer case to transmission gasket and it didn’t fit. It was off by half a stud on two of the studs no matter how I positioned it. Took it back and went to O’Reillys and bought their Pioneer...
