    2007 – Yukon Denali – Automatic AC – No Airflow – Sometimes

    You folks are great. I can confirm that's the problem. It's very low on refrigerant. The evaporator coil obviously froze and blocked the airflow. I was not sure how they ducted the thing but it's pretty clear all the air from the fan goes over the evaporator coil all the time. The gauges...

    2007 – Yukon Denali – Automatic AC – No Airflow – Sometimes

    Ok, that makes sense. It's winter so I don't really need the AC - although the defroster almost certainly uses the compressor. It sounds like low refrigerant could indeed be the problem. I have some gauges so I'll pop them on there - see how low that evaporator temp really is. It did run low...

    2007 – Yukon Denali – Automatic AC – No Airflow – Sometimes

    I have a 2007 Yukon Denali. The automatic climate controls usually work. Every so often I get no airflow. Yesterday I was on a drive for about 3 hours. There was no airflow coming out of the vents. I tried everything I could to get some air movement from any of the vents - no go. I...

    2007 – Yukon Denali AWD – Rear Seat Entertainment + Aftermarket Radio – no fader?

    I have a few questions about my new/used truck. So … I just bought a used 2007 Yukon Denali AWD. It has an aftermarket radio – Pioneer AVIC-X940BT – Navigation Radio. The radio works. The prior owner had it installed at a shop. I’m hoping they did the job properly. I have not looked at how...

    NEED HELP 06 GMC Envoy – NAV Radio – Tech-II – Theftlock reprogramming of a used radio?

    Got the new/used unit in the mail today. Gotta go to my kids graduation this weekend but after that I will pop it in there and see if we can clear the old VIN and get it working ...

    NEED HELP 06 GMC Envoy – NAV Radio – Tech-II – Theftlock reprogramming of a used radio?

    OK, great. Sounds like a bit of work. I do have an old Windows XP laptop. I can see that TIS2000 is old and needs an old computer with a serial port ... so I do have that. It sure looks complicated but I can give it a shot.

    NEED HELP 06 GMC Envoy – NAV Radio – Tech-II – Theftlock reprogramming of a used radio?

    My 06 Envoy Denali factory Non-Lux NAV radio is broken. I even tried to have it repaired – it’s not repairable. I can obviously buy a used one. I have a Tech-II scan tool. Does this mean I can program the new radio with the VIN of my car so Theftlock will allow the radio to play? Or do I...

    NEED HELP 2006 Envoy Denali - ABS activates on every stop

    I changed the hubs today – problem solved. The truck was also activating traction control each time I accelerated from a stop. This seems to be solved as well – not really surprising since the wheel speed sensors were not sending signal at low speed causing both the anti-lock brakes and the...

    NEED HELP 2006 Envoy Denali - ABS activates on every stop

    Thanks for the replies. I found a Youtube video that shows how to clean them. I'll try that and if it does not work - new hubs again. I'm sure it was from letting the truck sit outside. It has a spot in the garage now.

    NEED HELP 2006 Envoy Denali - ABS activates on every stop

    My 2006 Envoy Denali is having brake issues. No warning lights are active (no ABS light). The truck is activating anti-lock every time I stop on dry pavement. If I just come to a stop slowly, the anti-lock kicks in the last few seconds just before the truck stops – every time. The front pads...

    Another starter replacement 06 Denali 5.3

    Finally had time to work on the Envoy. The starter is in. This was probably the worst job I have ever done. I have changed engines, transmissions, rear axles, intake manifolds .... over the last 40 years ... none are fun but this job sucked. I changed the engine in my kids Saturn Ion. It...

    Another starter replacement 06 Denali 5.3

    Went to Home Depot and got some cut off wheels for the Dremel. I cut off the broken solenoid terminals without damaging the terminal ends on the wires. A little patience and the job was done. So the next stage is getting the wires mounted to the terminals on the new starter and getting that...
