    A/C front not blowing at highway speeds

    Took to mechanic for some diagnostics which really did not get me much further. B0228 recirc door in dash for ac system C0131 abs/tcs system pressure check fault - states he is not sure how to fix Any help on either of these would be appreciated.

    A/C front not blowing at highway speeds

    Have looked but have not seen anyone with same issue: 2006 Yukon XL Denali When driving on highway for a period of time, front A/C vents stop blowing at the levels they should. Cycle to floor/defrost and nothing changes. Slow down to city driving and in less than 5 minutes, fan blows normal...

    Mechanic needed

    Brakes seized 2 days after being in for inspection and only 1 side replaced. Other was VERY rusty. Have replace all. Steering makes some clunky sound with little bumps in the road. Piece of rubber just floating around on a shaft. Rear axle making rough, almost grinding sounds (guessing it is...

    Mechanic needed

    Brakes seized on this vehicle literally 2 days after being in for a once over. Had vehicle towed to mechanic who only fixed one side (I have since put new calipers, rotors, lines, pads, etc.). Still have what seems to be rusty bearings (rubbing noise on rear axle). See a floating rubber piece...

    Mechanic needed

    Have looked at a few cars in the Portland area because of an inspector I really trust. Though I would prefer an older, say 2014 Sierra or '05-'06 Suburban 4WD, I choose not because of not believing enough in my skills or my mechanics opinion. Personally, CarFax is a help but definitely not the...

    Mechanic needed

    Have been looking at almost new...'20-21 Tundras with less than 50K miles. But then I have a $45-50K price tag, which takes away from boat money. Concern is being on the road, 400 miles from home, and car breaks down for something that could have been noticed if a detailed inspection was done.

    Mechanic needed

    All of those things are routinely done. Drive an hour each way, 3-4 days/wk. Thanks for the suggestions, though. Looking for more in-depth proactive repairs, as opposed to actual "maintenance".

    Mechanic needed

    I have a great mechanic for when things break and I cannot do it myself...but he is not very proactive. General motto - fix it when it breaks. '02 Tahoe, roughly 160K miles. Not very knowledgeable, mechanically speaking, nor do I have many tools. Have a fair amount of long distance driving...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Have been doing a nationwide search, in general, but focusing on areas with better climate conditions. Slowed down with my search as it can get exhausting. Have an '02 Tahoe, with 150K miles on it. Bought used for fairly cheap but realizing after the fact that I like some of the extra...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    CarFax is absolutely the 1st thing, where I look at number of owners, service history, and accidents. Sorry, guess it was assumed that was where I got the info I listed. Usually doing this remotely so then look at undercarriage, interior (seats, dash, controls), etc. If digital odometer, also...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    The 1st one was Yukon with 45K miles. Currently at $10K, with 2 hours left on bidding. Update: bid has reached over $12K. When they start pushing $12-15K for a vehicle that old, I would rather use that as a down payment for a 2018...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Different vehicle. 2005 Tahoe Z71, 115K miles. 1 owner, 41 service records. Asked for undercarriage photos. Not sure what to think, usually only looking at mid to central Florida cars. https://vidmails.com/v/kfq5owQ5QB

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    This vehicle just came up in my searches. Usually do NOT look for vehicles so low for reasons cited. Just not enough moving around to get it working. That said - vehicle SHOULD come in under $10K, and only about an hour away for pickup. Attached some undercarriage photos as it has not always...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Getting close to my max budget, on the Yukon. Question - mileage is around 45K but engine hours are almost 1700. Calculates out to around 27 MPH. Not seeing too much discrepancy from CarFax but only has 20 service records and not all have documented mileage. Should I have any concerns with...

    Final price on Tahoe was $18,500. Nice looking vehicle but definitely not feeling that kind of monies...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Getting 10MPG on my Tahoe now...not sure I can do much worse. Yukon is a Denali, with AWD. Tahoe is a 4WD Z71. Major differences I can see is the 5.3 vs 6.0 engine; AWD vs 4WD; bench seats and no 3rd row in Tahoe (not needed, as there is never more than 3 people in vehicle).

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Also looking at an '05 Tahoe LT Z71, 115K miles, 1-owner, 41 service records. At a dealership for $9K. If '04 Yukon and '05 Tahoe same price, and all else fairly equal, any reason to choose one over the other? In this scenario, would lean towards the Tahoe just because of more service records...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Yukon is currently at $6500. Had not planned to go over $10K, preferably less. Other good part - about an hour away, so cheaper to get it home. That has been my thought process. Did find one in Oregon, really clean, for $12K. Sold mid-inspection, which my guy said it was shaping up very...

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    OK, thanks. Have been watching the Tahoe, out of curiosity, but would prefer the Yukon, regardless. AWD/4WD is a bonus, as I live in Florida and occasionally go in to fields...though my 2WD Tahoe always gets me through.

    Yukon vs Tahoe

    Looking at 2 auctions and trying to understand the MASSIVE price differences, 1, and 2, discern if paying the higher price is worth it. 2004 Tahoe LT, 4WD 5.3L engine 73K miles 2,551 engine hours 1-owner, no accidents 52 service records Current bid - $15,500. Originally sold for over $20K but...

    2018 Esky Lux. after 6 months

    Holy cow, that is impressive, on the gas mileage!!! Been looking for a vehicle to replace my '02 Tahoe (like you, need MUCH work). Had been shying away from Yukon/Escalade but dang, for that, might seriously consider.

    2012 Tahoe LT - $19,995

    How many miles? 2 or 4WD?

    Looking to buy, updated

    Thank you for the correction as I read even my own notes incorrectly. 2009 Yukon Denali, as you stated, has the L9H. The 2009-2013 Yukon XL SLT also seems to have had the L9H. Not opposed to the L94, just prefer L92 or L9H. Need to go back and see differences between SLT and Denali, for...
