After a series of disasters in my life my wife is wealthy, I'm poor. So I found a sweet 2008 Yukon XL with high miles, but really well maintained. Ran great for 4 months until one day as I rolled to a stop the motor shut off. Starter spun, but wouldn't engage so I had it towed. The mechanic said the timing chain jumped a tooth or something similar. I asked if he looked at the combustion chambers for damage and after a couple of weeks of going back and forth he grudgingly pulled the left side plugs. Can't see the valves, but the pistons all looked fine. He wanted to sell me a used motor for $10k. I almost gagged. Told him to just check the timing chain and change whatever is bad. So after another three weeks he pulled it apart. Here's the interesting part. The tensioner broke and the cam gear (assuming the cam is still on top) had broken teeth. Good enough. Please put a new set on and when you reassemble, please put in a new seal and a pump. Don't want to do this again. So he agrees and after a week or so of ball busting he puts it back together. Here;'s the fun part. It won't start. He says the valves may be so bad that it won't start. I'm not sure how the mechanical valve timing thing works and had no more arguments so I opted to have it towed home. The battery had 3.4v available so I charged it up and ... starter spins and won't engage. Never even turned over. Question is does the ECM control this and would it be fair to say it's not engaging for a reason, or perhaps the solenoid magically stopped working when the "timing chain jumped a tooth?" I considered just jumping the solenoid, but frankly I''m afraid to admit the motor might be smarter than I am. Anyone have a clue? Appreciate any comments. Oh, so after I paid the bill I was heading home to find a wrecker and my 1997 Tahoe died. Pretty sure it's the fuel system, but now both of them are down leaving me with shoeleather for travel. Sweartagaad it's the story of my life. Thanks.

Welcome to TYF!

This is a section for the 2000-2006 NBS trucks, so you may want to start a thread in the appropriate year section for your truck. You may get better answers there.

you posted in the correct section, the followup post's are all messed up
you can possibly find your needed diagram in the gm upfitter guide, it's free online just google for it.

I moved the OP's thread here. Post #3 is in the incorrect year section.

I would suggest going to a salvage yard, and just cutting off a pig tail with all the wiring. Then you can Solder/Heat Shrink it back together for a factory radio wiring harness.

At the end of the day, its much safer.

Thanks. No, I am looking for technical operational info on the 5.3 engine. I was hoping someone here was mechanically savvy, but it looks liike lift kits and add ons is the general interest here. I'll try to find a place with mechanics who understand the insides. Thanks again.

Dude you posted in a thread that for one, was the wrong year and secondly was a thread started by a guy looking for a wiring harness for his factory radio. I fail to see how you have anything to say for yourself except “ excuse me I have no clue what I’m doing here”. There’s plenty of guys here who can run circles around most “ mechanics” but you’re not going to get much help the way you’re going about it.

How about you go to the correct section of the forum, and then start a brand new thread that’s all yours and we will see if we can help.

This is what I’ll be doing thank you I don’t know why I didn’t think of this

Are you purposely trying to offend people? These are the most knowledgeable people on this platform I know, with few exceptions. And I'm in a dozen groups for the GMT800 platform. These are also the NICEST people I know; there are some forums where you would not only get ZERO help, but you would get openly mocked and/or attacked.

I ask you because my underlying assumption is you are just frustrated and didn't mean to take it out on us.

Why don't you try another forum.

We'd be glad to see you go, as clearly you are acting ignorantly, and are not a compatible match for the friendly, courteous AND KNOWLEDGEABLE folks here in this great Forum. I hate to make statements like this, but I hate outward and overt ignorance worse.

Goodbye and good luck with finding more 'knowledgeable mechanics'.

So after installing a junk yard harness and buying everything to hook up after market radio my radio stays on after key is pulled out of car like acc is on how would I get this to stop?

 

[Jimmyy]

Does it stop when the door is opened, or after 10 minutes?

 

[Cate-eyetahoe]

Radio will stay on with or with out key and will stay on with doors open or not

 

[Fless]

I would speculate that either the radio got wired to a full time power source or the door latch is defective. Radio should have a keep-alive wire for the memory, and a separate ignition switched power source for the radio to actually operate.

Turn off the truck. Then when you exit the truck (with key in hand) are the interior lights on? Then when you close all the doors, do the interior lights fade out after a few seconds?
