    AC Control Panel fries out with puff of smoke

    Yeah I saw the date of the thread but tagged SunlitComet so thought I could revive the thread since this seems to be a common issue. I found a diagram for the PCM/VCM and I am not sure if he was talking about this in his thread. It seems like a hell of a chore to run a wire through that...

    AC Control Panel fries out with puff of smoke

    Old thread but this seems to be a common issue. And it just happened to me a second time this weekend. Before I replace this unit which is only about one year old, give me some insight please into how you ran that wire between the PCM and the heater control module please. My question is really...

    Brake Master Cylinder Swap: NBS After a routine brake flush, I was finally tired of my 21yo weak and spongy brakes. I swapped out the OEM master cylinder for an NBS unit. You need a 9/16 to 1/2" adapter for the forward line but the swap was pretty straight forward. There is a good YT video on...

    Power Steering Fluid Drain and Fill While chasing down a small drip on the driveway, it seemed like the front seal on the steering gearbox connecting the pittman arm was leaking. It is probably due for a new seal kit but that is for another day. Here was my process: I used a fluid exchange...

    Sliding Drawers I built and installed sliding drawers and storage in the rear compartment over the last few weekends. A preview: Here is the outcome: Tahoe Yukon Drawer Sliders

    Project 99 Yukon

    Sliding Truck Drawers Ahhh... my much desired sliding drawers. Back in 2015 (or so), I built a fast-built sleeping platform and storage solution. It was solid but left me with precious little space after I added a thick sleeping pad. Plus, who doesn't want some pull out drawers? My real goal...

    Leaking Oil Cooler Lines Replaced I replaced my oil cooler lines with -6AN stainless braided lines and fittings, serviced engine oil Mobil 1 and K&N filter and replaced the filter housing gasket and seal. The write up at the link below...

    Oil Cooler Lines Replacement The leak in my AC Delco oil cooler lines was getting worse after a few years of service, for the second time, so I decided to replace them with -6AN braided stainless lines and the appropriate adapters. I believe this will be a nearly permanent fix for the life of...

    I replaced: Rear shocks with Explorer Pro Comp ES6000 924509. Front shocks with Explorer Pro Comp ES6000 918501 Added some Daystar Universal shock boots. The shocks were due for a swap and these were affordable and gave me some extra length to allow for the slight torsion lift and the extra...

    That swingout looks fantastic. I did something similar but I have to get the HiLift mounted and fab an extending pole to place under the swingout when it is wide open rather than letting the full weight of the gas cans and tire pull on the hinge. I just consider that a life extender to avoid any...

    Hey TigerEyze3, Sorry, but I didnt check your profile and don't know your name off the cuff...anyway, I regeared to 4.10's and for sure the top end suffers with higher RPM's. If you are not pushing 80mph, it is not a terrible trade off for MPG. I keep it around 77 which is slow in the west on...

    Changed blower motor, blower motor resistor, and dash control switch. While the blower was out, I was able to clean large debris from the condenser compartment and rinse off the condenser. I didnt have access to a hose so I just used a spray bottle and dish scrubber with plastic bristles. Not...

    A/C Blower Motor - Blower Motor Resister - A/C Control Panel Switch It was only 110 deg the other day and my A/C fan decided to stop working. I had replaced the dash control panel just 27 months ago so I assumed that could not possibly be the issue. The blower motor had been making noise, so I...

    Stuck Tubing in Oil Dipstick Engine Port- PROBLEM SOLVED

    Thanks for the reply. I got it free so no all good. The reason is probably a poorly thought out hang over from my previous range rover where this is the preferred procedure. I reasoned that the mess would be lower, which it was, but in the Rover, the filter is up top so it really negates the...

    Stuck Tubing in Oil Dipstick Engine Port- PROBLEM SOLVED

    PROBLEM SOLVED After a lot of twisting and pulling, I was able to free the tube from the dipstick hole. I have no idea what it was hung up on and it certainly sucked more time from my day than anticipated but it's done, oil and filter changed and ready to go again. Thanks for looking and...

    Roof top tent for 1996 Yukon

    When I was looking at this, I seem to recall that the tents cannot be placed directly onto the OEM luggage rack, even if you have the crossbars, which I have. It has been a while but I believe my solution was to weld up a customer roof rack and drop the tent on top of that. If you add an...

    I think I saw at least a 3mpg after the vacuum and polish. Really happy with that. That brings me to about 47mpg on the freeway with my 4.10's and little 5.7. I should be able to get a low emissions plate with that cleaning/upgrade. So I recommend all OBS owners to do a thorough vacuum of their...
