    Have an oil leak around oil pan. Is this a DIY? Can the pan be removed and replaced without dismounting engine? OK, lets say I can't do it myself, wonder how much for local shop to do the job...

    265000 miles and it still thuds. But no problem. 2000 Tahoe 265000 miles still does the thud occasionally at about same frequency it always has but nothing ever became of it. Seems to not shift down when slowing down and coming to a stop, then tries to start off in high gear. Just let off it...

    rear defrost fails and wiper too...

    Both fail at once. Replaced wiper motor, helped for 3 days. Took to shop, they replaced the wiper motor, worked for 5 days. But both defrost AND wiper stop working at the same time. Fuses OK. There is not common switch. Is there a common ground anywhere? No part of the defroster grid is damaged...

    2000 liftgate inside panel removal
