GMC Yukon Repair Questions and Answers

Question:  2002 GMC Yukon mileage: 69,000.  Another starter question.  I have checked the connections and they are fine.  The battery is new and is being recharged.  When I turn the ignition, there is initially a clicking sound.  After the click/pop occurs for 1-2 seconds, the starter gradually builds to the speed to start the engine.  In spite of the miles, the engine is very strong.  Can you help me?   Thanks in advance.

Answer:   Here are some things to check.  Load test the battery.  Check that the battery cable connections are clean.  Check for 12 volts to starter solenoid with the key in the start position.   These things should be checked first then the ignition switch, starter and starter solenoid.  One of these may be faulty.

Question: 2003 GMC Yukon  mileage: 57,000.  For the past year or so I have be plagued with rapid front Disc pad wear.   This week I replaced the front calipers & pads, also replaced the rear wheel cylinders and did a complete brake fluid bleed.  I notice when driving that the front brakes are getting "smoking hot" while the rear drums can be touched and barely feel warm.  I adjusted the rear shoes correctly, but still the front pads are getting "very" hot.  Where should I be looking next?  Is there something that is not allowing the rear brakes to do their share of the work?  Help.

Answer:   Your problem is a master cylinder that is not fully returning, remove master cylinder to replace with new unit. Bleed to adjust as needed.

Question:  1998 GMC Yukon  mileage: 117,000. Hello, I have a problem with my Yukon, it sounds like the transmission is going out. My friend said had had the same problem and a alternator repaired the problem. Can this be so? do alternators make this grumbling noise when going out?

Answer:  Yes, we just had a GMC truck come in for that same problem. The easiest way to see if it is your alternator is to remove the drive belt them start it for a moment, did the noise go away? if yes, replace alternator with high quality rebuilt unit.
