    Riddle me this... hot start 'N dies, miss / cut out only in summer

    I haven’t had the issues since it’s been cooler temperatures. Only happens to my truck when it’s above 90° outside and truck is heat soaked from a long drive.

    Would you still get an alignment done?

    My stock keys were cranked and these were still an improvement. The new keys lifted the front more than the stock keys with bolts maxed out. I thought you weren’t supposed to run the stock keys at the “unsafe angle” when the bolts were maxed? Or is that a myth? New keys were $40

    Would you still get an alignment done?

    120MPH Yukon Denali / Tahoe limited cluster swap issues

    Check with a gps speedo app on your phone. Even though your tires are the same size as what the truck door sticker calls for different tire brands are slightly different overall diameter. Aka they are all listed the same size but actual size is 31.6, 31.7, 31.8. Or your stepper motor is a bit...

    Power locks not working slow sticking free fix

    Will see how long it lasts with torn actuator rubber boot allowing dust to enter but i didn’t want to leave doors apart waiting for replacements. Also seems like you can’t beat original parts these days with all the Chinese crap that’s out there. I’ll refurbish a OEM GM part if I can instead...
