    FYI: Reading BCM Codes with ODBII Adapter

    I was talking to my daughter today and she showed me her ability to view and clear BCM codes on her truck, a 2012 GMC Sierra. I bought her a Foseal Bluetooth adapter and she went on the Apple store and downloaded the free app called Car Scanner. I use an Android phone with Torque Pro and...

    Do Amplifiers Wear Out?

    The stereo system in my 2009 Yukon XL sounds fine, not as much bass as I'd like but understand that's part of the system protecting the speakers. This truck has a navigation radio. The stereo system in my 2012 Sierra sounds the same as the 2009. It has the basic Bose stereo system, no...

    Another testament to the safety of these vehicles. This one though seems like a miracle to me.

    Hurricane Nicole

    Well, now it's our turn to take a direct hit from a hurricane. We're still gassed up, full of water and batteries and propane and food from the last one. Say a prayer for us all.

    I Need An Education On Window Tint

    Hey Fellas, So I made an appointment and my daughter took Sonoma Rose to get her windows tinted. I told the guy over the phone that I wanted it the same as my Yukon that they did, the maximum amount allowed by law. The paperwork for the Yukon says 30% up front and 20% in the rear, the...

    Do you know where to get this?

    This part is no longer available for the 2007-2014 GMT900 SUVs. It is the rear hood weatherstrip, part number was 15200240. Some places offer weatherstrip by the foot, but I do not know how to look this one up. The rigid base measured 3/4 of an inch wide and it of course has shrunk over the...

    Nice or Nasty?

    My daughter spotted this a few minutes ago while out to lunch at the local choke and puke: PPV, no hitch, electrical outlet above rear wheel, extra lights beside tag, K2 wheels, red partial wrap, dual exhaust, what else? I think it's cool. What say you?

    From This To That!

    Got a call that a friend had broken down on the way home from fishing. Tow truck was coming for his truck but needed to get the boat home. All the tow gear was already in the Yukon so it was just a matter of loading up and making the 45 minute drive to help our wayward friends. The Ford had...

    Catch Can?

    Might this work as a catch can? It's and old AC Delco design fuel water separator with a glass bowl. https://www.parts4engines.com/perkins-4-99-sedimenter-kit/ This one has no mounts: Might this style be more advantageous?

    Idle Worse After Plugs and Wires, WWYD?

    On New Years Day I hired a neighborhood kid to help change out the plugs and wires on the Yukon XLs 5.3 motor. Used the new 41-162 spark plugs and 748UU GM OE wires. Truck idles worse than before with plugs and wires that were installed in 2017 and about 48K miles ago. Those old plugs were...

    Tech-2 Fun

    Took the Yukon out for a run and took a Snapshot of the Transmission Data to record the engine torque and some other things. Once home, I played the Snapshot on the Tech-2 back at my desk, hooked up to shore power, and plotted the data on an excel spreadsheet. Decided to use only the 1st gear...

    Anyone Clean Their Headliner?

    Anyone with a GMT900 clean their headliner? What did you use? How did you do it? My daughter bought a product from Meguiar's a few years ago, tried it out on the Kia and said it left water stains and refused to try again on my truck.

    AXN Axle and the Conversion U-Joint

    It doesn't exist, it's not needed for the GMT900s. My truck is a 4x4 with the 5.3. A 2010 4x4 with the 6.2 has the same driveshaft part number as mine and the u-joints in the components list is the same as verified at AAM. So for you fellas swapping in a 14-bolt Saginaw from a RWD Denali or...

    Rear Alignment

    This is my AFTER sheet. I'm fine with the front, I reckon to correct the rear toe, the rear bushings ought to be replaced. What say you?

    Hurricane Ida

    Well folks, Hurricane Ida is bearing down on Louisiana which is home to a bunch of guys on here. For those of you who know the Lord, please keep these folks in your prayers. As of 7AM the maximum sustained winds were 150 MPH, that's like a nuclear blast, just slabs left. My thoughts are...

    Well, well, well, who has seen this before?

    Was replacing the shocks and springs and such underneath today and cleared the dirt out of my eyes and noticed this! Anyone seen this before on their own rigs? The part number for the replacement costs in the many hundreds of dollars and includes the refrigerant lines. I reckon we can just...
