    Howdy folks! Just wanted to share my recent installation and fitment of the Noco Genius GenPro 10x1 battery tender in my wife’s Yukon. It fits perfectly where the second battery tray is (unless of course you have two batteries ). Be careful with screw length as there is something underneath...

    AC Accumulator Leak

    Hi all you smart peeps! Got home today and noticed quite the leak on the driveway. I looked under the hood and it was dripping right below the AC accumulator… The liquid looks like water and doesn’t smell at all (no, I didn’t taste it ). One of my questions is: this is safe to drive and...

    Here’s My New Wrangler!

    A few months ago I had bid you all farewell as I prepared to sell my ‘07 Yukon to get a Wrangler. A few of you wanted pictures when I finally got it. I ordered it 6/23 and the dealer just received it and installed a 2.5” lift and swapped in 35x12.5 tires just yesterday (usually I perform all...

    (Solved) Looking for Front, Center Jacking point 2015 Yukon Denali

    So I was going to go Jack up the front center crossmember to lift both front wheels at the same time, but the darn plastic “skid plate” thing is in completely in the way (on my ‘07 I have plenty of room to Jack it up there). I’ve heard on other forums that people simply Jack it up there without...

    Interesting tidbit I learned about our VIN

    These codes only applies to 2007-2014 model years. Count in 8 from the left and that will give you the engine code. And 10th in is model year.

    I need to remove my half shaft and install it into a new tube housing (my old one cracked). Besides making sure it is clean, should I lube the splines in any way or just put it in the way it is? I’ve come across lots of varying responses. One of which relates to the CV axle and you...

    FYI Fumoto Oil Drain Valve

    Installed the Fumoto Oil drain valve 12mm-1.75 threads tonight. It will definitely make changing the oil a little less messy and easier. I got the F107N (N stands for the added nipple) with a locking clip. One downside is I couldn’t thread it so the valve lever is visible, but doesn’t...

    CarFax Maintenance App

    So I’ve never been good at keeping a paper trail on my own maintenance and repairs, but looked into an app and found CarFax Maintenance/Repair app. This is perfect! It goes all the way back to when the vehicle was new at the dealership in 2007 when they did a presale check. I can add images...
