    Xpel / Clear Bra Recommendations?

    Picking up a new black 2021 Yukon on Monday. I'm debating on wrapping the front and hood. Haven't called around for costs since it's New Years day. Do you guys think it's worth it? Any preferred installers? I know Matt from Detail Express in Kego has been mentioned a lot... not sure if he...

    Best Transaction Approach When Buying a Used Car (Private Party)?

    Guys - It's been a long time since I've purchased a used vehicle through a private party (not a dealership). I'm looking at buying a 2016 model year vehicle worth $30k+. The vehicle's title currently has a lien. Obviously, to close the deal, I'm likely going to need to meet the sellers at...

    2003 Yukon - 26 gallon tank, but runs dry after 20?

    Ha! Try 140k miles. All I'm going to say is.... Plan for a full day short of having a hoist, an extra set of hands, and a trans jack or something else to manhandle dropping/raising the tank. Both fuel lines must be disconnected blind. And that rear tank strap bolt is a 50/50 sawzall deal...

    2003 Yukon - 26 gallon tank, but runs dry after 20?

    You can see what you're getting into from the pic below. FWIW - the inside of my tank was extremely clean for being 12 years old. And I'd have to assume that the majority of the rust "dirt" that was in there was likely from me beating on the damn lock ring for over an hour to get it off. You...

    Best Local Alternator Rebuilding Services?

    Hey Guys - Need to get a GM 145A KG3 alternator from a 2004 Tahoe rebuilt. Read too many horror stories of buying remans off the shelf at the major auto parts stores, so would prefer to have mine rebuilt locally. Looking through old threads here, it looks like J&P Auto Electric in Clinton...

    Noise - Bad Flex Fuel Sensor?

    Driving home from work tonight, started to hear a faint grinding/rattling noise from what sounded like under the dash somewhere. Turned everything off (radio, A/C, etc.) - no change. Got home, pulled in the driveway, opened the hood, and it sounded like it was coming from the back side of the...

    MM Road Racing Group?

    Hey Guys - I'm considering getting into weekend road racing as a hobby. I've never participated or spectated one before. I know there is a track up in Waterford (Waterford Hills?), and I'm sure there's others in the metro area. Does anyone here road race for fun on the weekends? Most of the...

    Good Paint/Body Shop in the RO area?

    Next door neighbor's son-in-law just backed into my Tahoe. Left rear door has a good crease & I'm hoping they'll just replace the entire door. *grrrr* The one week the city is replacing sidewalk slabs and I can't park in the driveway --- figures. Any recommendations on a body/paint collision...

    Anyone Take a Lap on Nürburg? Experiences?

    Anyone Take a Lap on Nürburg? Experiences? I'm going to be in Belgium in early November and I'm considering a day trip over to Nürburg to take 1 lap in the rental car (nothing fancy) on the Nürburgring. Anyone ever done this? Worthwhile? Looking for some input, but it seems like a no brainier.
