    2013 Tahoe - Stabilitrak issue

    Hi! Some of my tips to deal with this message: Check your fuses. Check your grounds, run a complementary temp. ground from your battery to the engine block and drive your car. Wiggle your BCM harness and see what happens. Many times it is a shorted module that blocks the CAN network what causes...

    Oil Leak after RMS replacement

    Hey @lspann3525 check my post https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/serious-engine-oil-leak-tahoe-5-3-2007.126153/ and have the pleasure of knowing the infamous VLOM leak, it looks like a RMS leaking but the reality is different. At the time this made me pull my hair trying to know where so...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Yes, everything is taking shape again, the smart shell looks solid let's see how it behaves. I tested the input drum with air, no leaks. I saw a video of someone suggesting trying it hot but the idea of heating it in oil doesn't seem safe to me. Working on these transmission is relaxing and...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Hi @NickTransmissions, what an amazing answer, thank you very much for your time. I also thought the same about the converter but I saw it open and it was fine, anyway I'm installing a reman. converter. All my suspicions are on the valve body and the EPC. In the new valve body I included all...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Hey @Just Fishing, thanks for answering! It's been a few days now and I've been a bit busy to finish my journey with this transmission but I have been able to reach several conclusions: The manual valve was causing a leak in the P/R circuit EPC solenoid failed causing low pressure The...

    Hi, here's a little checklist: 1. Check your battery status 2. Remove, inspect and clean your mega-fuse 3. Check your battery cables looking for internal corrosion 4. Remove, inspect and clean your main grounds 5. The circuits you mention depend on a ground connection that joins the block and...

    No engine light, old codes P0700 P0741 P0742, transmission seems to shift perfectly smooth, no shuddering??? 2013 Suburban Z71

    Proceed with caution: sometimes those codes you mention (P0700 P0741 P0742) don't turn on the check engine light. My transmission died with check engine light OFF, codes found before remove it from my truck: P0741, P0745.

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Hi TYF members and friends! I appreciate all your opinions and replies to find the origin of this situation To make a long story short: My transmission was working fine until this week. I rebuilt it with your help two years and 65.000 miles ago when the pump went bad. I drove the Tahoe on a...

    Greetings and another oil leak post

    You seem to have covered almost all the possible scenarios, I think it's time to use fluorescent ink. There are leaks that are not visible while there is no oil pressure, the rear main seal is a very problematic area, many times it can appear "dry" because the turbulence generated by the...

    Erratic intermittent no crank no start

    Hey @Denali207, my humble advice: 1. Try a new battery and another programmed key. 2. Check your battery cables and make a voltage drop test (remember that a battery cable can look perfect on the outside, including the terminal, but be rotten on the inside.) 3. Check your grounds, specifically...

    Help, No power to vehicle despite good battery and power to fuse block

    @Adam Jinks if you have basic knowledge of electricity bypass your main battery cables, take two jumper cables (a good quality ones) and connect the negative directly to the negative of the engine block and the positive to the mega fuse (or to the fuse box directly). It may seem like a simple...

    What is the best way to seal aftermarket head lights?

    Hello, butyl sealant tape this is the best sealing method I have found so far. However, keep in mind that all lights must have a breathing hole for condensation to escape through, usually a circular hole covered with a black membrane. There are NO vacuum sealed lamps o_O Product...

    Tall jack stands for transmission removal from 2013 Escalade ESV

    My grandpa method may seem a bit strange but it works, you can drop or install the transmission without needing to be completely under the vehicle (this is my favorite part) using a pair of two-way ratchet straps, a jack and wood can be useful to gain stability. To use this method you cross each...

    Tall jack stands for transmission removal from 2013 Escalade ESV

    Hi @skpyle! Minimum (for me) 24", to work comfortably 30"+/-, it seems like a lot but with wooden blocks it is an easily achievable height. Make sure you have a ratchet with straps at hand and remember that when you are putting your head under several tons of weight no safety measure is...

    Transmission Service? keep old fluid or put new..

    The new fluid will always have better conditions than a used one. However, if a transmission already has serious damage, new or old oil will not make a difference.

    ABS Sensor / Sluggish Transmission C0900 & C0899

    Oil isn't always the best indicator (unless you send it to a lab to find out what's floating around), your transmission may be at the death line and the oil still looks perfect: a stuck valve, a sprag about to break , a broken internal piston. Scan the transmission module and do basic tests on...

    2011 Tahoe LTZ/Evil Spirit Episode

    This usually happens when the BCM momentarily loses power while the vehicle is running. Check all the cables under the steering wheel and move them back and forth looking for anything loose. It could also be a cable rubbing against a metal part and causing a short to ground (I can't quite...

    Still leaks after 3 "fixes"

    I think my leak could reach that amount per day but I live in a very small city and I don't drive that much, here it's not even 20 miles from one point to another. That particular leak only occurs with the engine running. When the engine is off the oil goes down and doesn't leak through the bad...
