    Spare tire stuck

    Years ago I blew a tire and struggled for a long time trying to get the second lock mechanism to release while parked at a gas station. I finally found a video with very little views on it where a guy was able to get the tire down as far as he could until the second mechanism stopped it from...

    Jeep-Inspired Tahoe or Yukon Windshield Decal Sticker Easter Egg

    I thought you guys might be interested in this. Here's a sticker in the shape of a Tahoe or Yukon that looks like the easter eggs in the new Jeeps going up the windshields. Now you won't have to buy a Jeep just to get the cool little easter eggs...

    Looking For These Rear Cargo Cubby Trays

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for these cubby tray things to drop into the 3rd row/cargo area in my 2004 Yukon. I believe the truck in the picture below is actually a Suburban but I'd like to get some of them and drop them into mine to have extra storage areas. Does anyone know where to find...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Yeah I think he was a little too. I was as polite as I could be when I asked him to run the test without sounding like I didn't trust his diagnosis. He also told me he wasn't very busy so it's not like he had other tasks that were piling up. I hate when they do that too. I don't like having to...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Well I just called the shop back to see if they could run the exhaust back pressure test. He said they would be happy to run the test if I REALLY wanted them to but he also gave me a solid 10 minute explanation of why the coils (Or possibly the wires) are most likely the problem. He also...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    I probably should've just asked the shop to test the exhaust in the first place. I'll give him a call back and see if he can do the back pressure test while it's in. Good to know that multiple coils can sometimes die around the same time.

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    This is the first time I've been to this shop so I don't know how reliable it is. Maybe he or his tech got the numbering mixed up, who knows... Is it possible that a bad coil or 2 could throw the whole system out of wack and make the computer think the misfire is in a different cylinder...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    He made it sound like one is bad and another is going bad. What makes them go bad, just age? He didn't mention any other test so I'm guessing he didn't get too far. Should I stick with ACDelco coils or does it matter? Is it common to get a pending misfire code for cylinder 8 in the back of the...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    I just got a call from my mechanic and he said ignition coils 1 and 2 were bad and it could use new wires. It didn't take him very long at all to diagnose it so who knows how far he actually got into it. I told him I'd take care of the work myself and pay him for the diagnosis. Any idea how the...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Alright I was finally able to do some more diagnosing today. I've been crazy busy at work for the last few days so sorry about the lack of updates. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a laser thermometer. While I ran there I also left my scanner plugged in and set to record the whole data set...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Alright some interesting things happened today. I cleaned the TB and the MAF sensor last night and started it up today. It fired right up like nothing was ever wrong with it and like it hadn't just been sitting around for a few months. I have no idea what the actual fix was. I took it for a test...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Alright I'll eliminate one thing at a time. I'll start off with cleaning the throttle body tonight to see if that helps. I might try cleaning the MAF sensor after that too. The real mystery to me here is why the throttle position sensor would be reading a minimum of 20% so that's why I'm...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Actually... Now I think about it, I did have the throttle body off about 2 years ago while I was working on the old engine. I managed to take some photos of the back side of the throttle body too. In the last photo you can see how much I cleaned it up but I didn't get everything because I didn't...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    I did have new ACDelco plugs and wires installed about 25k miles ago. I don't think I've ever really cleaned up the TB so I'll try and do that tonight if I have time. I'm hesitant about doing it though because I've read you can screw up the readings and might need to relearn it. It looks like...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    No I haven't yet. I had the intake tube off recently and it looked fine from the front so I didn't look into it more. Do you think carbon build up could make it stay open 20%? I'm thinking it isn't this because the cats are only a few years old but who knows. I did have an O2 sensor recently...

    Rough Idle - Suspect Throttle System

    Hello everyone. I'm looking for some help on a weird rough idle issue I've been having. This started pretty recently during my move from MT to GA. At first I thought it was the transmission starting to go but now I think it's something much smaller than that, like the throttle system. 2004 GMC...

    Torsion Bar Crossmember Bushing Replacement

    It should be for 1500's too. Not sure if the 2500's use the same ones though. I ordered them recently and had a shop change them on my 1500 and they didn't have any problems. Unfortunately it didn't fix the issue I was trying to track down but it doesn't hurt to have new ones.

    Replacement Door Hole Plugs?

    I'd try my local salvage yard but they've been bare bones for a while now. I may have to just measure them after all. I was hoping there was a kit out there to make it easy.

    Replacement Door Hole Plugs?

    The plugs in the doors you take out to access things like door handles and door locks are missing or cracking on my 2004. I'd like to replace them but can't find them anywhere. Any ideas on where to find them?

    Changed to Escalade vent caps.

    Part number for that Z71 rear window piece?

    WTB: NBS Homelink buttons

    Oh yeah I can't guarantee the electronics work. I was thinking you just needed the 3 buttons if yours were looking worn out.

    WTB: NBS Homelink buttons

    Just to be clear, you don't need any of the electronics? Literally just the buttons and that's it? I can look through my storage unit and see if I can find my old one.

    WTB: NBS Homelink buttons

    Just the buttons or the whole assembly?
