    Reduce engine power

    Yea, your throttle body needs some cleaning. Go on youtube and type throttle body cleaning and it'll show you what to do, if not, just take it to your local garage, they'll do it for less than $30. Or if worst comes to shove, you might have to replace the whole throttle body, I got the same...

    Well as far as the crankshaft position sensor, I bought it at Camino Real Chevrolet, it was cheaper than Autozone, now, the dealer actually gave me a schematic of where the sensor was, which is behind the water pump, pretty hard to get to, but manageable, took about 1 hr and done

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    Wow, I complained to my service tech about the oil consumption before my 100k mark, I had it in to replace a motor mount. And of course he said that it was normal for it to happen. In my case, I do a lot of driving in my truck, I work about 30 miles from home, and with LA traffic I'm siting in...

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    I know and I hear you. But I'm making some noise, because I am part of that minority. I paid good money for vehicle that I thought would last me past the 200k. I had few run up with GM and their dealers, check the thread I have posted before my 100k mark, and some would say my Tahoe is a lemon...

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    Well see, that's the thing, other car companies are running longer on their engines, just like your example. Why shouldn't a car like mine not make it past 138k. I'm a family guy, just like most of you, with 3 kids, I just can't fork out 3 grand, and not be upset at the fact that my Tahoe just...

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    Well that is what I got quoted, 3k to get it rebuilt, I just think that it sucks that I would have to fork this money, I waited for this new body style to come out, it was the 2nd Tahoe sold of the lot, I picked it out of the truck as it came into the dealer. But then again GM knows of the...

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    I didn't know that the change from 8 to 4 on highway would hurt this engines, something new to know. As far as the engine is concern, I have a 2007 LS with a 5.3 engine, there is really not much I can do at this time, can't trade it in like this, otherwise the dealer would murder me in what they...

    GM What's the deal with your engines?

    I bought my truck brand new in 2007, and I've never had such a bad experience with buying a new vehicle. I thought that GM Trucks were reliable and strong vehicles. That as long as I maintained it, oil change, good gas, tune up, that this engine would last me past the 200k mark...I would never...

    2009 Yukon brake light switch replacement

    @bos lol, good one bro. You can also try w40, spray a little bit in there, w40 is not conductive, so you can use it around electricity, and since it's a lubricant, it will release the dry mechanism inside the switch, making the cruise kick in.

    Need u-joints?

    Allright, try this. Open the hood, and have someone stand on the side, with the break pressed, put it in drive, and accelerate, ask the person to look at the motor, and check to see if it makes the sound, if it does, then your motor mount is shot, and you need to replace, if it is not, then, u...
