    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    My wifes Yukon just dropped oil pressure again. Got the turn off engine now warning. Replaced the pressure switch less than year ago, made it about a two weeks and it failed and when to zero pressure again. Replaced it and it's been going well until today. Checked the oil, pretty sure it was...

    Rear compressor and shocks replacement.

    Just curious if anyone has had someone replace the rear compressor and shocks. I was curious what I might expect to pay. The issue is the compressor keeps kicking on. From what I've read it could be the compressor or shocks. I'm trying to figure out if I should replace just the shocks and see...

    Battery is always dead.

    So my battery was dead again yesterday. My Tahoe usually only gets driven on the weekends and if I skip a weekend and don’t drive it the battery is dead the following weekend. So it appears it dies somewhere between every 8-14 days of sitting. Is this normal ? I should add when it’s dead I have...

    New wheels, lug nuts won't stay tight.

    So I just put on some new rims and tires. Took a drive about 18 miles round trip and had to stop 5 times to tighten the lug nuts. They were getting to the point i could take them off by hang. I'm just glad I was near an Auto Zone to buy a lug wrench or I would have had serious issues. He...

    Starts and dies, any suggestions.

    So I've got an 04 and right at 240k miles. She currently starts and then dies right away. If I start it and keep my foot on the gas she will stay running but then dies immediately after taking my foot off the gas. No lights on the dash either. She ran find this morning, not problem. Now...

    Decided on wheels, now tires. A/S Performance or A/T

    My wife decided on some wheels. Now I'm looking for tires. At first I was thinking of doing a small lift but I think I decided against that. I'd like to lower it just a tad and make it go fast but she doesn't want to lower it. But she did ask for a cold air intake (i'm hoping this is the...

    Rim and tire suggestions for no rubbing.

    Recently purchased. 2012 Yuokon Denali that came with aftermarket chrome rims and low profile tires that we don’t like. Current size is a 305/40 R22x10 with a 15 offset. After using my friend google I’ve learned the current tire size measures about 31.6” high. Would I be correct in assuming...

    AWD reliability ? How much power can they handle ?

    I'm looking to purchase a 2012 Yukon Denali with a 6.2, AWD and 122k miles. My knowledge of the GM AWD system is, well I don't know anything about it. I know Subaru's and Audi's for example can handle there fair share of power and abuse. So I was curious what the GM could handle. Could it...

    Suspension guidance / recommendation requested.

    After a lot of reading and look through the 34 pages of pictures and set ups, I think I've narrowed it down but not 100% certain. Model is an 2004, 2wd, completely bone stock. I'm thinking of going with the a Belltech 2/3 kit with shocks. Adding sway bars at a later date. I'm currently on...

    Time for a water pump, but a few questions first.

    Disclaimer: I am no mechanic. Brakes, batteries, and oil changes are about the extent of my current ability. So after locating the source of a huge puddle under the tahoe and an empty coolant reservoir and leaking from the water pump I figure it's time for a new one. This is a task I'll be...

    Newly acquired 04, needs first oil change, but?

    Here's the deal. It's time for my new to me 04 to get her oil changed. Currently sitting on 218K miles. I know you can go from conventional to synthetic but not supposed to go from synthetic to conventional. I'm no mechanic by any means so forgive me if some of these are dumb questions. So my...

    Tire advice, stock or worth it to go larger

    When I bought the tahoe knew it needed tires asap. My question is do I stick with the stock 265/70 R17s or go for something like a Procomp leveling kit and go for 285s. Price difference including the addition of the leveling kit is about $600 ($280 tires w/roadside hazard)($280 Pro Comp Nitro...
