    Electric fans enough for 3/4 ton XL that tows?

    That's great to know, Byron. I have an identical truck and I've debated going to an E-fan. My family and I are thinking of getting another camper next year and I want to prep the Yukon for it beforehand. How are the 3.73's with towing that camper? I looked up the specs on it because that's...

    P0101 and P0106 Codes

    When you say "unplugging it", are you literally just unplugging the connector to the o2 sensor? Wouldn't that throw the readings off and cause the CEL to come on? I'm just curious, because I don't want to keep throwing money at this via the guessing game and I want to figure this out ASAP. I...

    Mirror has a mind of its own

    I had the same issue with mine when I would unlock it with the key FOB. Both of my mirrors would go nuts and peg out to the point the gears would max out and start clicking really loud. I thought I would eventually have to replace the mirrors. I read somewhere that if you unplugged the mirrors...

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    Alright - reporting back since running out to Advance Auto Parts on my lunch break yesterday.... Bought the BWD brand FPR. Swapped it out right there in the parking lot in 5 mins. Fitment is great, no leaks, NO NOISES. Didn't have my fuel pressure gauge with me and didn't have time when I got...

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    I haven't, but I will on my lunch break. There's an Advance Auto and AutoZone right down the street from my work and I figure $65 for the BWD won't hurt to troubleshoot again anyway. Here's to hoping!

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    AHHH! I found a YouTube video of my EXACT same symptom. This is on a 5.3 Tahoe though...SKIP TO 0:30 to hear the sound. It seems that people are reporting back with this symptom being AC Delco and Delphi brand related. The BWD brand from AutoZone/Advance Auto seem to work better for our...

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    Filled up with 93 and added 2 different Fuel injector cleaners to this last tank. So far, nothing has changed. I've been digging around online and saw that some 04+ 2500HD's came with a FPR similar to ours, but had a little T10H torx screw on the body of the regulator to adjust fuel pressure...

    Sorry, I should have specified. 4.10's are the better gears for towing regardless of 6.0 or 8.1 motor, but the 8.1 with 3.73's is a great combo for what you say you'd need. If the 8.1 is in great shape and a good price, I'd buy it with 3.73's. Those things are tow beasts. As far as trying to...

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    That's the weird part...she pulls hard as ever with no stumble or power decrease. It's just when sitting in Park and idling and when in Drive sitting at red lights. I'm going to try and take a good video of it to better explain my symptoms. Hearing the audible "strain/whine" sound is hard to...

    I'd say go with a 2500 with 4.10 gears. That puts you at 9600 lbs and should be more than enough for a decent size travel trailer. I have 3.73's and I'm most likely going with 4.10's and larger trans cooler in the future for peace of mind.

    Hmm, interesting. I guess I'm willing to try anything at this point. Lol. Thanks James!

    I just run regular ol’87. I tried 89 recently, but it made zero difference except made my wallet lighter. That’s my next step then. I’m going to have a shop run it with a scan tool to log some real-time data. I’m suspecting a defective fuel pump or a blockage in the fuel line.

    Lol, sometimes it’s the little things that get us, but I forgot to mention I did those too. Sorry man, I appreciate your input!

    Negative...my next step is to take it in somewhere to have a diagnostic check run. I'm about done fooling with this and taking random shots in the dark.

    Need help narrowing down low fuel pressure...

    Just replaced the gas cap yesterday in hopes of a dumb miracle fix......nope. I also disconnected the battery again to see if that would "reset" anything. I'm desperate and REALLY don't want to do another fuel pump. That might be the route I have to go though. Any thoughts guys?

    2003 Yukon XL 2500 6.0 - Just rolled 198k Having a minor bump in idle with a slight intermittent straining/whining sound that sounds like it's coming from the fuel line. When I touch the FPR I can feel the vibration and hear the sound coinciding. I've done a slew of 'peace of mind' maintenance...

    From Southern Maryland - 03 Yukon XL 2500

    Just bought my 03 Yukon XL 2500 back in Jan. I just sold my 99 Suburban 6.5L TD last winter. I loved that thing, but the plan with this 03 is to eventually Duramax swap it, but for now I have to keep the 6.0 alive for a while. I just turned 198k miles on her, but the main reason I bought it was...
