    How to test rear brakes?

    Lucky me, I just replaced the 2 rear brake lines on my 04 Yukon. Yeah, 2 lines because of the active traction control. Can’t say it was fun. I started with the left side using the vacuum method of solo bleeding. I kept getting air bubbles which could have come from a loose connection or...? I...

    "Tire-Roll" when turning

    2004 Yukon 5.3 AWD I just replaced the right-front wheel bearing because the sensor was causing false wheel spin. The bearing itself seemed fine. I'm not sure how changing the bearing would cause the problem, but it's too coincidental. When doing a moderate to hard turn the wheel shutters as...

    Moaning Yuko - Belt Tensioner?

    The Yukon isn't my daily driver during the summer so I haven't been in a hurry to fix this. It's been intermittently moaning under the hood. I've finally been able to get a video (with surprisingly good audio) before it went all shy on me. My thought is that it's the tensioner. I've got a week...

It has a massive fuel leak. see here: I've researched and found a couple people with what sounds to be the exact same problem. 1 - slight smell of gas for a few...

    Third brake light and left tail light keep burning out

    Can someone post up the wiring diagram for a 2004 Yukon/Tahoe? My third brake light and left tail light keep burning out. The only mod to the lights are some LED bulbs in the turn and reverse lights. The brake lights are normal. A short wouldn't cause them to burn out, but surge will... but...

    Upgraded from the Yukon to a car...

    ...3 kids in car seats forced me out of a car and into the SUV world and now that only one requires a booster I decided to move back to a sedan. The thing is, it's still perfect for going to the hauling stuff and more than 5 people. Add Towing and an entertainment system it's too good to cast...

    Wheel Bearing Brand Recommendations and Shocks

    My Yukon has had the traction control kick in every now and then when taking off from a stop. It seems to be happening a bit more regular now. Searching the web I see that a wheel bearing/sensor is likely to blame, although I don't know which one. A few people online refer to Timken brand for...

    Where to get switched power?

    I have a buzz in my audio when powering my bluetooth adaptor with my cig lighter. I've greatly reduced it by connecting the cig lighter ground to the radio chassis but want all the buzzing gone so I bought a line filter. My next wish is to have the cig lighter powered with the ignition. (I'll...

    Power Source Advice Sought...

    I have a very simple bluetooth receiver for my truck. It's powered by a cigarette lighter port and sends the audio through an aux input via a PAC device into the XM radio system. I've always had an engine whine through the radio if I power my phone via the cigarette lighter port at the same...

    How To: Rear Window Wiper Repair

    I had some time to do something mechanical again (yay!). Last year my rear wiper started working very slowly and eventually stopped. I assumed the motor was weakening and going out. I put off replacing it until this coming winter was upon us and had a bit of sticker shock when seeing the prices...

    inherent 02-04 rear brake flaw?

    Rear brakes on my 04 Yukon went bad, real fast. Quick inspection last night found the inside pad on the passenger side was down to metal. The outside pad is about half gone. I went to the part store today and planned on asking about new pins but before I could ask the counter guy tells me to...

    New Amp - New Buzz

    I finally put a new amp in my Yukon and have music coming out of all 4 speakers. The new problem is a buzz that comes and goes and I'm not sure why. I DO know that when it shows up I can usually clear it up by turning on the driving lights. Weird. My guess is that it has soe thing to do...

    Adding a "latch" system behind the driver

    For the archives... For those of you that have a Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade for crumb-cruncher hauling you may have noticed a flaw in GM’s logic. At least if you have 2 or more car seats so said crumb-crunchers. The “latch” system is a handy feature for securing the kids seats in our trucks. The...

    Stock Size Tire Recommendation

    As the title states, I'm looking for advice on new tires. I want something that will fit my stock 17" rims with more of a street tread. The current tires are 265-70-17. I wouldn't mind a lower profile tire but I don't want it to look goofy. I also don't have the $$ for lowering. I'm...

    Do you know your truck? #1

    Key Question

    I wish I could have snapped a pic

    While driving home last night I saw a traffic stop near my house. The thing that tripped me out was that the police vehicle was a pewter-colored Tahoe, lowered with custom rims. Lit up with tons of concealed red and blue LEDs. I wanted to take a pic with my phone to show the forum but by...

    Speed Limited?

    I felt a bit "spirited" this morning and decided to put the Yukon into the century club, that all of my vehicles have been in. I know my speedo reads about 2-3mph higher than actual speed so I knew that I had to do 105 to insure I was legitimately in the club. I tried twice and my truck...
