    need help - maybe transmission failure

    Of all the years I’ve had this truck, it broke to the point of not driveable twice. Pretty good report of you ask me. The g80 went out 5 years ago - fixed it. The shift band broke 2 weeks before my wedding in ‘11 - fixed it. Everything else has been normal maintenance. Well ahead of factory...

    need help - maybe transmission failure

    Yes it is worth taking care of vehicles. I never said it wasn’t. The roof leak, window, bearing, gauge issue and pinion play is all recent. The other issues are things that I haven’t gotten to for various reasons. Med bills, kid stuff, wife had a ****** stroke - lots of things get in the way of...

    need help - maybe transmission failure

    Having serviced the trans every 10k miles since 29000 miles until 170,000 miles I’m not convinced the trans is smoked. I think it’s the transfer case. I also realized park is not holding the truck in place. However, I think I’m gonna let this go. I have a list of things that are wrong with this...

    Fuel tank PROBLEM need advise/thoughts please gents

    wrong words to use. I know I cant use nuts and bolts. what the idea was to use short but long enough screws to hold the ring down. no there isn't enough material to hold the lock ring down. I have 2 barely there metal tabs remaining. 1 tab is so weak and thin, it already bent up after putting...

    High RPM to shift out of 1st

    I know this is very very late to the party here but incase other people have a similar issue, maybe this can help. need to make sure the trans actually shifts into second gear and not just bypass it into 3rd. my trans broke the band that goes around the drum. the external servo was fine, just...

    Rough Idle

    check 02 readings while running rough. rich/lean condition can cause this. also try to get a scanner than can read live data (specifically misfire and fuel trims)

    Yukon Down, AWD delete, headers, converter etc...

    what wheels are on the Yukon? also - for future reference, you do not need to pull the front off the crv to replace the compressor, it will come out of the bottom between the block and the front subframe. no need to pull any accessory of the engine either, just the belt off the compressor.
