    Did Michelin discontinue the Defender LTX in 22"?

    Specifically our 285/45/22? I see the new MS2 variant at $350 each...ouch.

    Need torque specs for front diff and crossmember

    2012 Yukon XL Denali. Don't want to trust the google web on this. I have a slight clunk a few months after the front diff swap, I think it's the cross member bolts, but want to go over all of them....thanks.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    FWIW, I hear the Hummer mounts are robust, but some mention they just don't absorb as much vibration as the OE, but only slight differences. Mine lasted almost 10 years, so I felt that added smoothness was worth it even though I can't compare them, just word of mouth. So for less $$, I went...

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    We replied at the same time. IME, with 2-speed GM transfer cases, you can drive in 2HI (2WD) with the front shaft removed. I've done this a few times. List your vehicle so others can confirm this.

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    @89Suburban The boot of the front shaft sits in a groove near the transfer case housing, so while prying on it, the boot needs to come out of the groove and be pushed forward, it will keep trying to re-seat itself so be patient with it.

    2012 Denali front driveshaft removal

    I did and I believe the update was tied into another thread on driveline issues so I apoligize for not updating this. Short version is I replaced the rear U-joints and when I did I must have bent an ear. When I took it to get balanced, I had the shop change the front U joints. They boogered...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    Agreed. Replacing the LH mount fixed the engine lifting off the mount. Replacing the RH fixed the vibration at idle as that's the load side. The fact it was pretty much completely collapsed and hard as a rock also played a part...lol

    Airbag light help. B0012-04 and 0D

    Now that you mention it, I believe I also re-seated the connections on the driver's side footwell.

    Looking for MDI to replace Tech 2 for pass through device.

    I was looking at this initially, was skeptical considering the price but my Tech 2 clone has not had any issues so maybe these are as reliable. https://m.obd2tool.com/goods-10216-Best-quality-GM-MDI-2-Diagnostic-Tool-with-WIFI.html

    Looking for MDI to replace Tech 2 for pass through device.

    I will likely keep the Tech 2, but for reprogramming and flashing modules, need to get with the times. I have no idea where to look, what to get, would like to keep the price under $500 if that's an option. Will be used with a windows laptop on vehicles older than 2016 (for now). All input...

    Airbag light help. B0012-04 and 0D

    I had an airbag light a short ways back, code was for drivers side. The remedy for mine was removing the wheel and clocks clockspring wire connections and re-seating them. I re-seated the airbag connection first and put back together, light came back on. Tried again but re-seated airbag and...

    Post DoD delete ticking

    @rachealae I just recently solved a light ticking sound in my 2012 6.2, tuned out to be a worn rocker arm. The OE style has play from the start, which I have never seen with roller rockers but that's how these are. After 130K miles the rocker had about .030" of radial play. The worn rocker...

    Single Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza

    Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza 285/45/22 This was a replacement tire the previous owner installed before I bought it. I removed all of them for a set of Defenders. Has less than 2000 miles. No repairs and it shows between 10- 11/32 to the bottom of the tread, so about 9/32 usable. Would like...

    Are the valve body seals a culprit with converter failures?

    Thanks again, Being down one vehicle and not having a spare, makes this service more of a "don't mess with what's working" type of scenario. I'm comfortable enough to do it but should I wait till summer when the Yukon can sit for a few days if needed is my dillema. I could likely knock all...

    Are the valve body seals a culprit with converter failures?

    Thanks @NickTransmissions , very helpful. Replacing the seperator plate in my 4L60E with a check ball nearly punched through the plate saved that trans at 160K, along with a vette servo, so that worries me with this one if they are prone to do the same. Would a new or rebuilt valve body require...

    Left (Drivers side) motor mount removal question

    I didn't remove the AC bracket, but I did remove the starter and pulled the mount out that way. Just be darned sure you remove the NEG battery cable first. I also believe I separated the mount to get it back in as the old collapsed mount was short enough to fit between the frame....so .maybe...

    Stubborn Uppper Control Arms

    Could you not get the nuts loose or just removing the bolt from the assembly? At the 3:40 mark, he was using an air hammer. That's actually surprising they are that stubborn...hth.

    Are the valve body seals a culprit with converter failures?

    Thanks, good tips, and yes, I did recently change all those mounts, front diff, both motor, and trans mount..also replaced both F&R driveshafts.

    Are the valve body seals a culprit with converter failures?

    So I'm still thinking about replacing my converter as preventative maintenance. I spoke with a couple local shops and they mentioned one area of concern are the valve body seals. For those that are in this business, does the converter fail mainly from an inferior clutch or from pressure loss...

    Left (Drivers side) motor mount removal question

    Same. I would secure the steering wheel with a bungee cord around the brake pedal to keep it from turning and damaging the clock spring. If pass side is new, I would also loosen those motor mount bolts that entrer the frame to ease titling of the motor and not stressing the mount. If you have...

    Occasional light lifter tick starting

    Thanks, I wasn't aware af any issues with these rockers until I did some research after the fact. I was also surprised even the new rockers have some radial play but they have been known to go the distance. When holding a high idle around 1500 RPM, there was even some popping in the exhaust...

    2011 Tahoe/New introduction and help wanted post.

    The suggestions on the ground wires/locations are definitely good. The best way to think about it is, if the circuit has a bad ground, it will look for a ground elsewhere, whichever has the least resistance. This is where the problems start. As far as stalling under load.... Have you checked...

    6.0 Engine and Transmission Emergenct

    Welcome! :cheers: Did you by chance pull the dipstick to verify oil level? I had this happen to my 2012 Yukon, gauge went to 0 then later pegged, was a faulty oil pressure sensor. Keep us posted.
