I’ve had 01,02,03,04 Yukon and the only problem I ever had was the instrument cluster going out. My 03 Silverado too. I’ve done nothing but maintenance to my vehicles. They all made it to 250,000+ miles with only tune ups. I barely replaced the original radiator on my 04 Yukon xl…did the water pump just because. I love these generation vehicles.

@Procrastinator1948 Год назад

I had an on again, off again issue with my gauge cluster no working at all, Found a guy locally who does the custom led's for the cluster and took the cluster to him (very easy to remove, btw). while installing blue leds for me, he reflowed the entire board and i've had no more issues with the gauges. You probably have someone in your area that does the cluster repair. Just look on facebook marketplace.

@paulmvn5431 Год назад

I just bought a Yukon with a broken cluster and leaking water pump. The cluster had a resistor broken off at both pads. I soldered in a new one and it came back to life.

@ttank94 4 года назад

What are you surprised both bulbs don't burn out at the same time? That would be quite the anomaly if they did!! The issue is the fact they only illuminate when the vehicle is in gear, so you either need to get creative to see if they are burnt out yourself, or rely on someone else to let you know. Most of people driving these vehicles with one burnt out running light don't even know about it. In fact they would probably be surprised to hear it even has running lights!

@henftw 4 года назад

interesting choices here. As far as most common problems go the only thing i really agree with on this list is the intermediate shaft. Maybe knock sensors too. Id like to add a few of the problems i see most at the dealership where i work. In no particular order #1. Intake manifold & water pump gaskets going bad. #2. The brake lines rusting off #3. Parking brake shoe linings separating from the backing plates from never being used. #4. The instrument cluster lights burning out is more certain than death or taxes. #5. Heater core quick connectors leaking or breaking. #6. Door switch plates breaking away from the door panels. #7. Spare tire cable seizing up in the housing. #8. AC Compressors on early years. (still works just sounds like its going to explode) #9. Fuel pumps and fuel lines on the non flex fuel models. #10. Various evap system issues. #11. Cant forget the headlights/DRL lights filling with condensation! #12. Also cant forget the DRL bulb sockets melting from the factory bulbs drawing too much current. Overall these are all super easy problems that can be fixed on the cheap. Probably the best trucks ever built if you do your own repairs! Engines will literally outrun the frames in the long haul.

I agree with both the brake line and parking brake they happened on my 2005 yukon xl and I used to have a 2003 before that and on both the 2003 and 2005 I had the instrument cluster screw up and it made my prndl lights so dim I could barely see them at night with the dimmer on max but I had a buddy solder it on my 2005 and she is perfect again

@nhala04 3 года назад

Thanks, that just solved all my checks and balances. I had just replaced all 8 of my spark plugs on my 2006 GMC Sierra Classic. That didn't solve the issue. Now I feel more relaxed watching your video. New spark plugs and now I'll continue with my trouble shooting!! Video is very helpful!!!

Thank you for this video ! A great friend gifted us his (original owner) 2000 Cadillac Escalade. It has 216,000 miles and very reliable. We keep it in good condition, today the brakes are seizing. Based on some YT videos it may be the caliper pistons. Keep up the good work.

@davidanderson1889 2 года назад

Very helpful video for those that are not too familiar with Chevy trucks and SUVs. One additional issue that should have been mentioned is an issue that comes up from time to time when a message comes up on the cluster saying "Reduced Engine Power" and the vehicle won't accelerate beyond 5 mph. A very frustrating issue caused mostly by faulty electrical connectors in or around the throttle body.

@lizard944 2 года назад

Glad you added the "bonus" footage because that was EXACTLY my problem. I was trying to diagnose a P0530 code on my A/C "Pressure sensor circuit malfunction." Checked all of the connections on the compressor and high/low-pressure sensors and all of the a/c wiring that I could see. Checked fuses and swapped relays. No joy. Just happened to stumble onto your video. Thought no way in hell could anything be going on under the fuse panel but opened it to check for grounds, etc. There was a fluffy nest made out of what looked like home insulation material and six wires were completely chewed through! I have recently been getting other weird codes like multiple SRS airbag codes and random P0300 misfires. Will solder everything back together in the morning. Hopefully, this was the issue. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

@lizard944 Год назад

@@MrJbooker33 Sorry for the delay. Yes, by re-soldering the severed wires it fixed the Air Bag codes and restored power to the rear DVD player which I didn't even realize was not working. I now hear it going through a self-check when I start up the vehicle. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the P0530 A/C circuit malfunction. I think the PCM may have been damaged. Going to take it to a local Audio Installation shop that specializes in wiring troubleshooting. Stay tuned...LOL

It’s a very helpful video. I have a 2006 Yukon and had four mechanics look into the bogging down issue, and they just keep referring me to someone else. If you press down on the gas, the car doesn’t want to go at 1-10 rpm. If you back off the gas pedal and press it again, it starts moving. If you press the pedal and floor it, there is no problem. The truck drives fine. There is no griding or hearing of the transmission slip. Any videos on that subject?

@constancedeangelis751 3 года назад

I loved and respected and understood your video. My 2003 Chevy Tahoe has had continual issues. I had everything done and still when it was hot outside and I ran the air conditioner for even 5 minutes the vehicle would drop to reduce engine power. You wouldn't believe the scam job I have received over and over and told by each guy, its the cadilatyic converter, which finally I had replaced. Guess what, that didn't solve the problem. I took it to O reilys, they ran a test, it cleared all the code issues. I had a harness of wires that didn't get out into the black plastic tube holder, We wrapped the wires and put in the black tube and so far for 2 weeks in high heat 90's and running the air conditioner I have had no issues. I have no mechanical knowledge, but It seemed to me that some temperature thing was kicking when it was hot and air conditioner on, I did not have these issues in the winter or weather under 70degrees. At least now I know I am not crazy and your video was excellent. The vehicle is running a little bit rough and it could be the sensors. The codes I got from oreilys scan, coincide with everything you talked about. Thank you Connie D.

@WhatIsKenDoing 4 года назад

I have an 05 Suburban with 289K and an early 07 Silverado with 228K and have had many of these issues on the trucks. When I replaced the knock sensors and harness I also used some urethane caulk and sealed the rubber boots to the metal. I also cut a chunk of the rear foam filler out that is supposed to keep water and debris out of the gap. The truth is that foam actually traps water and debris making the problem worse. When I replaced the intermediate shaft I also replaced the rear column bearing. It didn’t add that much to the price of materials. One problem you didn’t mention was the brake light switch. This is a fairly common problem that will also cause trailer brakes to not work. You will save yourself a lot of time and hassle by buying a ‘Genuine GM’ switch, not AC Delco and definitely not any aftermarket switches.

I love my Suburban! Her name is Evergreen Machine - a 2004 2 wheel drive with 240k miles and going strong! I had the transmission rebuilt, though. She would still go, but was missing the 2nd and overdrive gears. She has never left me stranded, but now I probably need o2 sensors and definitely a new instrument cluster (which doesn't work). I have changed the spark plugs and wires, water pump, lower coolant hose, a part for the power steering pump that was messing with the front suspension (forgot the technical term, sorry), plastic coolant fittings at the firewall, and of course oil and filters. I got her with about 210k miles on her and was skeptical, but I have driven her all over the united states and even tow my 4k lb travel trailer! Overall, best truck I've had!

@JohnDiMartino 4 года назад

These vehicles are some of the most durable on the road,IMO. Ford and Dodge during the same years had engine woes,the triton v8, which early on was a great engine in 2V form especially the 4.6 , self changing spark plugs aside, was now a problematic 5.4 version,the 4.7 Chrysler is junk, the early Hemi was good IF the cam didn’t get eaten by a lifter.....but many did..The pre DOD GM LS engines were the best ever made,they were anvils of reliability . I am Fleet mechanic for a town municipality and my entire light duty fleet is 1500-3500 Chevy/GMCs,from 2003-2019 I have 13 of them. Most of our trucks are 2500/3500s all with the LQ4/and L96 6.0s. Nothing else on the road will run as long as reliably and as cheap or is as easy to work on. One thing you did leave out was the grounds...on the back of the drivers side front cab mount right under the drivers feet, there are several large grounds attached to the back of the mount tower, these are super important and they get corroded over time, I remove them clean the ground location to bare metal and cleanup all the terminals and apply fluid film at every oil change, these are ABS grounds ,electronic shift transfer case grounds as well as other various grounds... these are easy to get to while servicing the truck. I’m surprised you did t mention the oil cooler lines and here in NY the lower steering shaft u joint seizes up over time because of the road salt and the snow plows we put on them draw salt into the engine bay.....then there’s the last exhaust manifold bolt that snaps off....etc. Still the best trucks on the road!

Brake and fuel lines rust, the stepper motors in the cluster fail, sending units slowly fail from modern ethanol gas, the center console lid breaks, the tailgate handle breaks, front door speakers fail from water getting past the window seals, blend door actuators slowly fail and make an awful ticking noise in the dash. Not to mention the whole body rots away around you... Rockers, fenders, fuel door. But the engine will run on and on

@alfredthesavage7793 4 года назад

Tell us how you really feel about the vehicles

@johnblack6580 3 года назад

With the exception of cluster failing, you hit the nail on the head with everything that voes wrong with these trucks. One exception the transmission fail at 200k if well taken care of.

@MilkIsL3git 3 года назад

Extremely accurate list. I'd add that the headliner starts to sag around the windows if you drive with them down often, a breeze gets under the edge and ends up pulling the headliner away from the adhesive over time. My center console is broken, the A/C ticks in the dash, the infamous running light constantly goes out, the rear hatch doesn't want to open some times, only my fuel and speedometer are accurate, but I've had it for 50K+ miles (sitting at 183k now) and it still runs like when I bought it.

@seangrant2596 3 года назад

Yes you're 100% correct on that but for some reason us GM lovers love the hell outta Chevy them engines will run forever if kept maintenence friend of minds still humming @ about 490×××

@austinermis8038 3 года назад

Lol same. My blend doors are ticking, rust hole in gas door (might as well take it completely off lol) and rockers need to be changed, and cab corners, and speakers, and gauge cluster steppers are taking a shit. All 4wd components replaced about 3 years ago, it’s the plow truck/spare vehicle. Do plan on replacing the cab corners and rockers before it eats any further into the cab.

@tylermericka4661 2 года назад

If you have one of these year vehicles I would highly recommend replacing the coil packs. Did mine at 180k after doing the typical plugs and wires but had a slight miss that wasn’t throwing a code. Truck would shimmy slightly at a stop. Swap new ones on and it’ll run brand new

And that generation ( gmt900) had some of the cheapest materials ever to be put in a GM truck SUV even the sheet metal can be bend by hand (2010 Tahoe) where the Ford (2008 expedition)has some strong heavy sheet metal but with that being said the "hoe" stay on the road while the "expy" stayed in the shop (5.4 TRITON vs 5.3 VORTEC i know what motor is reliable dependable and efficient despite cylinder deactivated or AFM and limited slip vs automatic locking diffs both have indestructible auto 6 speeds) of course the Chevy has the best drive lines/powertrain but the Ford has the best safety i still take Chevy since knee high.

Some dumbfuck decided not to allow you to change them with the heads still on. Thats GM for you though. One step forward in aesthetic design, seventy steps backward in engineering.

Good video and info! Another common issue is the dome lights and infotainment center not turning off after the ignition is shut off and door opened. Its a problem most of the time with the actual door latch on the drivers door or multiple doors. I have one that had a problem with the latch for 3 of the four doors. Can be solved by greasing the gears to the latch sensor inside the latch. Replace if all else fails.
