2001 GMC Yukon XL Logo
Laura Sear Posted on Sep 08, 2011

It is running to warm, and I have been told so many different things are the problem, but no one wants to put their mouth with truth and fix it. I think that these people are just talking to make it sound good, because they don't really know what the problem is. So, I need someone that can tell the truth and not lie.

Your right. The problem with the 97-2004 Yukons is the radiators and the collant systems, and no one really knows what is wrong with them. I have had my 99 Yukon for 7 years and I love her. I spent a ton of money to find out that the only thing I can really do, is make sure the coolant is kept topped up. Coolant is cheap and I only have to top it up every few months, but it seems to have solved the the over heating issue for me. You can replace the rad if you want but it only seems to change things for a few months at best. I went through 4 before I gave up.

Flush a carburettor on a e2000 van 2002 year

NO VIN told and no country (Australia?) India?
no carb enigine , runs with dirty cab
same answer here from 1920 to 1985 when carbs were banned by EPA.gov USA. so no parts here.

so you sound DOWN under and we have no support below the equator. (just technology facts)
a rebuilt carb is the cure. (as a shop for help)
or have it rebuilt (cleaned ,kitted out)
they told you the truth we have nol alternate truths.
most carbs now have zero support, or parts or kits.
but gee I can not shop in India, me. or where ever not here USA.

My 2000 Honda Civic ex is not feeling well. It has begun to constantly overheat - The engine also seems to leak a bit of oil. I was told I need to replace the entire engine. Does this sound...

Who told you to replace the entire engine??? -An engine salesman? You should take advice with caution especially if the advisor stands to benefit. To fix overheating, try putting in a new thermostat. The new thermostat and gasket should cost you less than 20 bucks. Make sure your cooling fans cut on when the engine is warmed up. If not, then check the fuses and relays to the fans. Double check your coolant level. Your oil consumption is perfectly normal.

I have a 1992 El Dorado. It runs like a TOP! It has just over 182,000 miles. I took it for an oil change and now, at low idle, the "LOW OIL PRESSURE / STOP ENGINE" comes on. I took it back and...

I would check the wiring between the oil pressure sensor and the computer. The computer is reading low or no pressure, hence the warning light. If your mechanic is telling the truth about the pressure and the pressure sensor is good, that is the only thing it could be.

Hi, I drive a vw golf 4 1.6se 1999 model.My battery light has come on and stayed on..I took it to the garage in a different city and the guy told me that is the alternator and is going to cost me 211.00...

if he checked the voltage with the car running, it should be at least 14 volts. It sounds like he's telling the truth. This is a common reason for the light to come on.

Cooling problems

There could be some air still in the system...Sometimes when the head gasket starts to go it will put a small amount of combustion into the system...Hard to detect at first...A good test to see if this is happening is when the engine is cold and you start it up, rev the engine up for 30 seconds and then shut it off..Open up the system, if their is pressure present then the gasket is leaking...Caution..Do not do this if engine is warm...

1990 454 mercruiser misfire under load when warmed up

Running on a stand is not the same as running under power...In the water, you are essentially running on a dynomometer (dyno is a big water brake) If you can prove that the module isn't putting in enough advance, it would be doing the same thing that I mentioned with the damper, only for a different reason. So...you're likely on the right track. (rather have a points setup out on the water...anything goes wrong, you fix it without a tow!!!!)
Good luck
