    Grinding noise, increases with speed under load

    Let me preface the description by saying I've searched and even thrown some parts at this problem already. I have a medium/high-pitched grinding or whining noise from under my 07 4x4 Yukon. The noise varies with speed (faster = louder) but not RPM. The noise almost completely goes away when...

    DIC not working, PRNDL is dim

    Yesterday while pulling into a gas station I noticed the DIC was not illuminated not the gear indicator on the cluster. Once parked, I shut the truck off and turned it back on and the DIC/gear indicator came back. Turned the truck off once more and everything seemed fine. Drove a few miles...

    Transmission slip in/out of 4th

    Have an issue related to 4th gear in my 4L65. Truck has ~250k miles so it may mean full rebuild but this doesn't seem like the band is completely gone. Only trans mods are Corvette 2nd gear servo and a Superior Billet 4th gear servo. Leaving from a dead stop truck drives completely normal...

    Changing pan gasket... Plug oil bypass?

    Hey guys, read a few threads around my question but didn't find a direct answer. I have AFM disabled via BB tune. Will probably delete the hard parts in time. I need to drop the pan to change the gasket and the pump o-ring. Should I plug the oil pressure bypass while I'm at it? Again, AFM...

    Power Steering Riddle

    So guys, I had a power steering leak that I was chasing which caused me to change out my power steering pump and all hoses. Good news is, the leak is gone... But only in one direction apparently. The pump is louder than I'd like it but it was a reman and I wasn't surprised when out of the box...

    Tuned out AFM 18 months ago... how long before lifter failure?

    07 Yukon 5.3 LMG with AFM (deactivated 18 months ago), ~168k. Catch can was the first mod at 70k. Running synthetic, premium filters. Changing every 3-4k. Seafoam about once every 12 months or so. All in an effort to keep the motor clean. I'm probably forgetting a factor here so ask if you...

    Bilstein Part Numbers

    I've got some 5100 shocks but with no hardware. Bilstein gave me part number B4-KT1-Z238A02 for the hardware but Summit can't find it and I haven't found it on the net. Has anyone else tried to get a hold of this part number? Thanks.

    How to: 4WD Driver Side motor mount replacement w/o diff removal (quick write-up)

    Long story short, driver side motor mount broken. Dealer wanted $1200 because they had to take the front diff out to do it. BTW, my truck is a 2007 Yukon SLT, 5.3 4WD with a 4spd. Things may differ a little for folks with other drivertrains and you 2WD guys will have it easy with all that...

    Rattle from belt drive

    I noticed this Thursday morning and I've tracked it to the A/C belt drive. Sounds like rattling chain, like when someones dragging a trailer chain down the road. Goes away or at least gets more faint when the A/C is off and is quite noticeable when the A/C is on. Goes away after as little as...

    Headlight switch & 4WD switch illumination

    Tried searching and didn't find an answer... My headlight switch does not illuminate, though it used to. The 4WD switch illuminates but in a warm white, incandescent color different from the greenish/blue of the rest of the dash/radio. Is there a way to replace the lights in the switches or...

    Warning lights all over, disconnecting radio helps... What's wrong?

    Long post, sorry. This requries explaining. During a vacation to Florida, the truck start to show all kinds of warning lights (Service 4x4, parking sensors, service stabilitrak, ABS, Air Bag, etc.), no A/C and the radio would not come one after sitting in the hot sun for an extended period...

    Tire size choice for 07 Yukon (275/65 or 305/55)

    Okay, searched and didn't find much in terms of results. I'm looking for 275/65r20 on a leveled NNBS Yukon/Tahoe. I've long considered 305/55 and still will but in terms of price, I feel like I might be able to get off cheaper with 275/65 and I need the back up plan. Looking at aggressive all...

    Code P0121 07 Yukon 5.3

    Yesterday I got the P0121 TPS code. Went home and cleaned the throttle body off the truck with CRC TB cleaner. Now I get the high idle (1k) and the truck "pushing" with no pedal input. I've read all the threads about this (I think) and I plan on driving the truck to see if it will relearn...

    About to start light mods, what setup should I go with?

    Going to do 5000k HIDs in my 07 Yukon soon and was planning on following that up with switchbacks in the turn signals and 3000k fogs. I have my reservations about this being somewhat "ricey" though I think it would be pretty functional. My other option was going with 5000k fogs and either...
