I was looking at some of these duramax suv,s, and there pretty neat.. The prices are a little higher then i thought,

Im going back and forth between a mega cab cummins or a crew cab sierra.. my ext cab isnt cuttin it with the kids and the dogs when we go camping.. When i had the yukon xl i loved it..super cmfortable and tons of room, And having the lbz or lmm d-max, I would be able to tow any camper out there!

So when i spoke to them, these are the rough numbers..

If you bring them an 03-06 yukon or suburban the total price is $15-18,000

AN 07-newer body stlye is $23-25,000 WOW... I was a little shocked,but it obviuosly includes the diesel engine,allison trans,tuning,electronics, 11.5 rear end,Etc..... So i guess its not that bad.. I just saw an 04 yukon 6.0 with like 140,000 miles which doesnt matter..for like $12,500, So for under $30,000 Id have a pretty awesome 450 hp 700+ ft lb SUV...

And have all the room/space we need for the family/pets.. Whatdya guys think??

Not sure if they keep them or not..I really dont think they need them laying around, I could see them keeping any allisons they come across

but what would they do with a 4l80e and the 6.0,s Ge told me he had 5 8.1,s right now sitting there and would sell me one of the he had with like 160,000 miles on it for $700

Its not that i cant make my mind up..I just been through a ton of trucks over the yrs and just want the ideal or perfect one this time and hold onto it.. the girls are only 3 and 4 right now and ove camping so i figure for atleast the next ten yrs we,ll all be going, And i hate being cramped..

As far as them knowing there shit...Absoluetly!! Everything ive seen from them is so clean and flawless... But how hard is it really? With a good garage/lift and the right tools Anything is possible. I just love that they make it like it came that way from the factory.. Hit the key and it goes...No lights coming on or dumb noises or rattles..Pretty neat!

Its just alot of money,

I hear ya..I cant afford anything brand new, I wish but my credit is trashed right now.. But if you figure they build these so well that that look completely stock.. And say i get one with an lbz that has 40-60,000 miles, Well taken care of that truck should last that long and beyond..Its probably only gonna get 8-10,000 miles per year if that,

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
