    Transmission gone... does this rebuild estimate seem fair?

    Personally I would just order a remanufactured Transmission and have my local shop swap it in or do it myself for a lot less money. Why would you waste $1,420.00 on a diagnosis for a 7 year old vehicles transmission? The dang thing is shot swap it out and move on.

    Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

    It was bring your kid to work day at the windshield washer fluid factory. The 10 year old boy named Calvin thought that it would be extremely funny to pee in the big vat of washer fluid. His idea was to piss on as many people as he could.... You know how if you have the window down and hit the...

    Odd noise upon remote start - with video

    It is 100% normal for GM Trucks to make this noise it IS the oil pump priming. I had a 2016 - 2017 -2018 and a 2019 Sierra Denalis all 6.2 engines and they all made this exact same noise on cold startup. It is not noticeable if you start it from inside the truck but can be quite loud on a...

    Battery low issue

    Easy to have a proper capacity test done at most local auto parts store for free. Typical battery life is around 5 years but if a battery is pulled down completely dead several times its life span is significantly shortened. If you have a Costco atore close by they seem to have good deals on...

    Rock Auto Discount Codes - Post 'em Here for Others to Use

    I have had good luck with Rock Auto Parts over the years. Unfortunately this last order for some front brake parts included a drivers side brake hose that was the incorrect part in the bag. They refunded me quickly on that but I have lost confidence in all their parts and returned everything...

    07-14 Engine Hours to Mileage Comparisons

    seems like the engine hour meter tends to reset itself when the 12V battery is replaced. Mine reset a couple of times.

    adaptive valve in the exhaust.

    First time I saw the flapper valve was on a 2014 GMC Sierra, I am not sure that it did much other than rattle and squeak after it got a few miles on it. Idea was to dampen the engine drone when it was running in V4 mode.

    Tahoe idle oil pressure

    I can only relate my experience as I never pulled the oil pan to replace the ORing on my recently sold 09 Hoe. When my oil pressure dropped to below 30 at idle I simply took that as a sign to change the oil regardless if it had reached my 5k max or not. After it had reached +266k miles the oil...

    When is enough to let go?

    Like this OP I ended up giving in to the "Dark Side" I am too old and decrepit to actually do any major work on a vehicle anymore and I really just do not want to attempt it. Sold the 2009 Hoe with +266k miles, cheap to a young fella that works on his own cars and I am sure that he will get...

    I have decided to sell it to a real nice couple with 3 kids out of KY they are looking for a solid ride on the cheap. I seriously think it will go another 50k without any major problems but no guarantees. The guy David says he does his own work so that made me feel better about selling it to...

    P300 code while driving

    If this 99 model still utilizes the old crossover Distributor cap design that is a very common failure point and high probability for your P300 code. It is so common that I would probably swap that cap out first and THEN start my diagnosis if it was still missing.

    Just got the P0BBD error code

    I bought a replacement hybrid battery from Best Hybrid back in 2019 seems like it was around 2500 or so and it has been good for about 3 years and approx. 70k miles (knock on wood) Everything else is pretty much worn out though at 266k miles. It has been fun but I am doing some vehicle shopping...

    My guess is that you have a broken valve spring, the compression test should identify which cylinder

    UPR oil catch can drain mod project

    Looks like UPR has has an option for a drain plug but it is like a 30 dollar add. I just ordered one without the drain knowing that I can easily drill / tap and add a valve if needed. Will depend upon the frequency of having to empty it if Ido that or not. Old 6.0 at 264k has a lot of piston...

    How many miles did your front brakes go before changing? Mine went 250K

    2009 Tahoe Hybrid just changed the front pads at 262k after the passenger side flexible brake line went bad and I had a dragging caliper. Still had about 1/3 full pad on drivers side. And yes I changed both sides flexible lines all good now. This is the ONE redeeming quality on Hybrid vehicles...

    2015 Suburban Stuck in 4WD

    Would need the trouble code to diagnose for sure but a common issue is the 4WD actuator switch itself. Sometimes it is intermittent and pulling the fuse (or unhooking the battery) will reset it and it will work properly UNTIL it does it again..... the switch is cheap and easy to swap out I would...

    Whinning noise Yukon 2013

    Kind of a random guess here but does the 2013 have the flapper adaptive valve in the exhaust pipe? I think it may have been a 2014 addition but if you have one just clamp it open temporarily and see if the sound goes away....

    Misfiring under load.

    I had a 97 and it destroyed distributor caps on a fairly regular basis, (well it was driven +50k per year so once a year a new cap LOL) that would be my first move to swap on a new distributor cap. The design was very prone to cross firing inside, when you take it off look for carbon tracks...
