If the engine has been sitting with water in the oil so that when you pull the dipstick it's rusty, then you could have rust on the main crank bearings, cylinder walls, etc.

electrical problem by ahightower

I have a 2005 Yukon XL. 6-CD unit, no NAV. Every now and then, maybe every 5th engine start, the clock will reset to 12:00 and it will cycle through the CD's, as if the battery had been dead and it was jump started. It doesn't forget the radio presets though, which confuses me. And I may be imaging this, but it seems to hesitate on start up, very briefly.
 
I'm thinking possibly bad battery connection? Do you suppose the NTB who sold me the battery just over a year ago would be able to check this (for free?)
 
Other ideas? Just the head unit, maybe? Alternator? I'm no electrician. So far it never fails to start, but resetting the clock is getting annoying, and my wife is getting a little nervous. Thanks for any ideas.

Most autoparts stores will do a free battery and alternator check, and look for a loose battery connection. Since NTB put the battery in, that's where I'd recommend you start.

1996 Tahoe Starting and Running Problems (Crankshaft Position Sensor) by jcb4green
Aug 27, 2009 (2:29 pm)

My 1996 Tahoe was having terrible problems starting and running correctly. The initial diagnosis was the crankshaft position switch was malfunctioning. After almost $2000 dollars of replacing the sensor, engine tune-up, fuel filter and fuel pump I was still having the same problems, but not all the time. I had a local mechanic due the work and he said take it to Chevy and have them diagnose the problem, which they determined was still the crankshaft position switch was malfunctioning. Since my mechanic had done the original work I took the Tahoe back to him with the Chevy diagnosis problem. He crawled under the truck with it running and saw the sensor moving around while it was running. He took the sensor out and discovered that one of the mounting bolts screws into a brass fitting inside the plastic timing chain cover. The brass fitting was loose and just needed a screw driver inserted into it to spread it to increase the tension on the plastic cover. My mechanic put it back together and it resolved all my problems, meaning most of the $2000 dollars I had spent trying to fix a problem that ended up being caused by maybe a 25 cent brass fitting in a plastic cover. Live and Learn. By the way my 1996 Tahoe has almost 154000 miles on it with the original engine and transmission.

My 99 Gmc Suburban does exactly the same thing yours does. Have you been able to come up with a fix?
