Keep in mind Kansas had crazy heat and cold cycles. I do love Project farm, but he only tested new products. any new product will...

    Towing with my ppv

    That is awesome! My dad was that guy. I remember as a kid in a small town when my dad and his boss got thiers new and they called it a pop-car. It has a gas engine like a mower and they rolled out to do those repairs. They used it for years, then it was replaced by a High-Railer and I think it...

    Thoughts on Rotella oil

    From my experience as a truck driver, rottella is it is high in detergents and will clean internals really well. I used 2ice in my 03 5.3 and it got cloudy very quickly (200k). Changed after 400 MLS and then again last year (260k) and it took another 200-300 miles to get cloudy, then settled...

    First time changing engine oil 2005 Yukon XL

    Hey all, I suggest Castrol full synth with Partsmaster 61522 (about $5 from rockauto.com) this is Wix 51522 equal. I ordered both, cut open and all items were identical. I think my Tahoe called for the 51045 (short) filter, but prefer the tall can. Did the same with Wix 51258 and had same result...

    Cutting out the spare?

    Just replaced my hoist assembly, literally yesterday because my spare was rusted solid. I had a flat last week and was screwed, it would've been a brisk walk home if I didn't have friends, yay friends! Lol!

    2001 Silverado Lifter ticking with cold

    piston slap possibly From what I had found, it might be from the pistons in newer powerplants have shorter pistons and that the manufacturer coated them with Teflon and it wears off after about 150k miles (depending on fluid changes and type used). I believe mine started making that sound at...

    Not Seeing Any Substantial Value To Using Tow/Haul Mode

    Don't know if this helps, but I researched on my 03 Tahoe for adding OEM trans temp gauge and found sumwhere that tow-haul will increase line pressure making trans shift a bit quicker and act a bit like a mild shift kit to reduce fluid temp. I think you may notice the tach needle move a bit...

    Questions About First Oil Change

    I use 2 quart's full synthetic and rest of conventional Castrol 5w-30 in Winter and 10w40 in summer with 250k miles with the same synthetic and conventional mixed. I don't use the premixed anything. I don't recommend going to lube shops, to many horror stories. Find a local gm shop that has a...

    Transmission not shifting real great 2004 Yukon XL Denali

    Does it have toe-haul button? Does it seem like that tow-haul button is active? And maybe the cluster light is inop... Maybe? Always check the cheapest solution first, hope it doesn't cost u much bud. I think that is how my 03 Tahoe acts, but not sure, I'll check after a bit. ;)

    Is 90k miles too high

    Most important thing is are fluids the right color and smell? I bought my Tahoe with just under 200k and changed all fluids as all were nice, not clean, but ok to change/flushed. I heard you do not want to change trans after 100k, but I have not confirmed this. I just get with higher mileage if...

    Transmission gauge question

    You are correct RR, thinking back, I think I had 199k B4 I put in wife's yuk, and she only put a couple thou on it as she never went anywhere. Lol. I do have a ritual when I get different vehicle, and that is change all fluids, because most owners ignore most fluids and sum skip o/f changes. So...

    Transmission gauge question

    Lol, yeah, I didn't care about correct milage at the time because I do not ever plan on selling it and just ordered a brand new cluster the way I wanted. I kinda wish I had, but it still looks Kool I think. And my shop guy had a weird look on Thier face when they went to write down milage, it...

    Transmission gauge question

    Tahoe Forum Hi there, you could send your cluster to Digital Dash Solutions (fixmyguages.com) and have them add the trans temp gauge and rebuild other gauges while they have it so u don't get any misreading needles so u don't start thinking, " Oh crap, i have low oil pressure. Lol! I also think...

    Trivial question about the cargo area

    Hey, I have an idea, how about weather Tek floor liner that I think has a 1-2 inch sides, then line perimeter with those " Interlocking rubber garage floor tiles. Can be cut with scissors." That 05Single suggested. Line up with those floor tiles around perimeter to protect the side panels and...

    Repair transmission before or after trade?

    I concur with tonyrods, 2700 is a bit high, but what warranty are they offering? $2000 for my 03 Tahoe with 250k in NE Kansas. Took in for firm 1/2 shift, like it had a shift kit, they said band is wearing out. Tech even said change fluid a few times (fluid was normal color for age if changed...
