  1. It's the throttle body cooler line. Supposed to cool the air as it enters intake.
  2. When you jack it up, it won't take much wobble top to bottom on the wiggle test.. It should be rock solid, even a millimeter of play probably means your bearing is going..
  3. Probably wheel bearing... They will start slow but when they go it won't take long.. 200k on my Yukon and have changed front hubs twice, both at 100k.. They are pretty cheap and easy. As soon as I hear that whine, I just go ahead and swap em. My f250 had the whine, I didn't know what it was, 3 days later the hub gave.. Uggg..
  4. Tackles this last month... Changed my front diff fluid, had been making noise.. Well, it looked like antiseize pouring out.. So I watched a few videos online, ordered my bearing kit for front diff ($160) not bad. Had to get adjuster lock tab at dealer ($5).. The I went to autozone and looted their free tool catalog.. Torque wrenches, bearing pullers, bearing/seal sets, ect... Grab some RtV while your there.. Anyway, getting the diff out was a little pain but once out it only took a few hours to get everything tore down and reassembled.. Borrow a dial indicator to measure back lash and didn't use any special wrench to adjust preload, just carefully used a punch and mallet to rotate the adjusters, they have teeth on them you can tap against to rotate it.. I'm not sure what the backlash was but I believe I set it about 6-7 thousandths.. At the yoke.. And I didn't change the yoke bearing or crush sleeve. I felt they were fine and didn't want to tackle that because I didn't have a big enough impact wrench on hand.. So, it's doable, takes a day, but to change out that adjuster I'm pretty sure you gotta drop out the diff...
