The solution that I came up with will not be popular with most on this forum, I traded my Yukon in for a 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7L Crewmax 4x4 TRD, I no longer have a pesky fuel gauge issue.
So tonight I got out of the truck and pulled the door handle and it came off in my hand, it had snapped inside the door, my thought is to go and get a door from another Yukon (I have a 1997 4 door) and get the parts I need off it. I tore it apart and saw that there are a lot of parts riveted on...
I have added fuel injector cleaner to the tank (the cleaner I used was recommended for a 80L tank, so I threw in 2) I have ran premium in it for the last 10 days and now it is actually acting worse!!
I can change lanes to pass someone and go from empty to full and back again and actually...
The trailer is level, the ass end of the Yukon is down, but I have an add a leaf to go in this weekend and overloader shocks as well. I will have the trailer hom this weekend to make sure how it sits after I put the assistance in the back end.
The trailer fully loaded comes in at 6500 lbs...
I will weigh it this weekend, going out camping again on Friday, I have it setup (after many attempts) so that it tows level, however, the truck is sitting ass low.
I have read (not actually done tho) that on another webiste the add a leaf sway control for the rear leafs (the half length ones) improve the handling significantly from stock and are usually less than $40.00 to install.
As for the steering, you may want to take a look at your idler and...
OK, I took it out for its maiden voyage with the trailer and I had a couple good hills to climb on the way to our campsite and the thing was an absolute dog!!
I lost almost half my speed going up a hill that was 1/2 mile or longer!! I towed it the whole way in 3rd gear.
Only mod I did...
I am a looking to see what other GMC/Chev vehicles the leaf springs will fot into my 1997 GMC 4 dr 4x4.
I am hoping to put a set of 3/4 ton truck leafs in the rear end.
The truck has been wired with a brake controller before I bought it. The oil cooler and tranny cooler were replaced when the tranny was rebuilt last April.
I have also purchased a 12,000 lbs weight distribution hitch (overkill, but that is how I like it). Th trailer loaded comes in at 6600...
Yes I am positive that I have the towing package as when I bought the truck the original window sticker cam with the truck and it does have the factory towing package and has 3:73 limited slip gearing.
It also has all the HD options as per the original window sticker.
I haven't pulled the...
I just bought a travel trailer that is damn close to the capacity of the Yukon and I want to help out the Yukon with any aftermarket goodies to make it less of a strain on the drivetrain, my thoughts are adding the following:
1. RV Cam
2. B&M Shift Kit
3. EPROM reprogramming
I was...
I have seen a 1999 Yukon with the floor shifter and it was an LT model here in Canada, depends what you are looking for, it also had the 60/40 bench in the front with a leather interior.
OK, I am gonna run a few tanks of cleaner thru it, is there anything anyone has run in the past that works well, I haven't had great success with the cleaners I have found on the market.......
