    Another instrument cluster question.

    I'm having a problem with the lights going out in the radio, a/c, and cluster. Sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't. I to heard something about people having to get their clusters replaced at the dealer. I think they said GM extended the warranty past the 3 years 36000 miles. Go...

    radar detectors

    Not going to help you with laser. My dept. only uses laser. It's only emitting a signal when I'm checking a vehicles speed. When your radar/laser detector go's off it's to late. If I see a radar detector you're not getting a brake. On the flip side we generally don't stop people until their...

    Adding Turn Signal Mirrors

    I added the Muth mirrrors to my 05. Shouldn't be much different in the newer trucks. I replaced the glass and you have two wires. The black I grounded to the door shell and the red I tapped into the switch wires. I used a light tester and found that the wire was in the harness. I didn't...

    Door Locks

    I had the exact same problem on my 05 Yukon a couple of months ago. I told the truck I was taking her to the dealership and the damn thing started working again. It hasn't messed up since. It's kind of freaky.

    Which is finer?

    I would think the 0000 is finer. I use it to get the boot polish off the chrome exhaust on my H-D Road King at work. It doesn't damage the chrome finish at all.

    Carfax

    Carfax wouldn't be able to report that kind of information becuase a dealer doesn't register the vehicle. They place a dealer tag on it and run it under their blanket insurance policy. That how the new car guy's do it to. I bought a 2006 Trailblazer before my Yukon and it had 3500 miles on it...

    tire pressure

    DIC= Driver Information Center. Trust me I did not come up with that on my own. Straight out of the owners manual.

    iss replacement

    tire pressure

    The TPM light keeps going off on my 05 yukon. The DIC says the pressure in my left front tire is 23 PSI. I dorve the truck for awhile to heat up the tires and stopped at the gas station to fill up the tire. The sticker on the door jam says 32 PSI. I put the gauge on the tire and it said 32...

    broken hinge

    My wifes aunt told me this just happened to her 05 Yukon XL. It's got me scared. I have an 05 Yukon. I almost never use the rar window but I guess that rally doesn't seem to matter.

    LATCH...

    The center is definetly the safest place. We just installed the car seat base in our 05 Yukon. We wanted it in the middle anyway. During a side impact crash it puts the child further away from the impact point. I am a police officer and work on the traffic unit. I have seen a couple of...

    Rear door panels

    Anyone have a step by step on the removal of the rear panels on an 05 Yukon? I noticed one screw on the bottom and the trim piece around the handle. Is there a screw behind the door lock? My rear doors don't unlock with the front and hatch 90% of the time and I need to get this fixed before...

    A/C & Power Door Locks

    Locks: I have a 2005 Yukon with approximately 33,000 miles on. I'm having a problem with the two rear passenger doors. When I hit the unlock button on the key fob or at the driver door the two rear passenger doors won't unlock most of the time. The front doors and the rear hatch work just fine...

    A/C

    This has happened 3-4 times in the last year. I'll be driving down the road with the A/C blasting and all of a sudden it turns to heat. I turn the switches off and it's still blowing heat just as fast as could be. If I pull over, turn the truk off and then back on it's back to normal. It's...
