    Overhead Console Wiring Path

    I want to add a transmission temp gauge in that empty rectangle in the overhead console. How are the other wires routed to get up there? I'm dreaming of pulling my temp gauge wires up via existing wiring :) Any ideas how to pull this off?

    Taking the Yukon Off Road for Real

    Yes, I forgot to mention I aired down to 15 PSI. Also the park has a air fill up station.

    Taking the Yukon Off Road for Real

    Bone stock 1997 Yukon 2 door 4wd with the G80 locker...ish. 270,000 miles on the clock, nothing special 265 all terrain tires. Drove ~400 miles to Hot Springs Off Road Park, wow what a place. Hundreds off acres of amazing trails and great staff. After checking out my truck and talking with me...

    Off Roading with an automatic

    I've never been off road in anything as heavy as my 2 door 4wd Yukon. I'm going to an off road park and as my vehicle is stock I won't be a hero. I'm betting with the G80 diff I'll be able to do most of it in 2wd. Should I lock it in 1 or 2 instead of using Drive? Mine has the push button 2...

    1000 miles from home dead 2022 Denali

    Sorry you're having issues! Last week I was 300 miles from home in my near new 1997 Yukon with 265K miles on it. It started running terrible and the fuel gauge acted like I poked a hole in it. I found a Harbor Freight just down the road from an O'Riellys. Picked up a step ladder and a few tools...

    GMC Rear Axle Codes

    Group, RPO and Axle type codes came from crawlpedia. Anybody know why there is a code for "Positraction" and one for "Positraction Rear" ? My 1997 Yukon 4wd has the G80 or Positraction code. The other image is my codes: ... Thanks! I also gave it the real test. On my shops slick concrete, I...

    I am heartbroken...the end of an era is upon me...

    I had a white 94 Tahoe 2 door that was a family member, it was my all time favorite vehicle. It had to go to make room for a 4 door as the family grew. To this day if I say "Look at that" everybody knows I'm pointing out a white 2 door. The other day, a near perfect white 98 Yukon 2 door popped...

    Shaking Mirror Glass Fixed

    Crew, My near perfect 97 Yukon 2 door had the mirror shakes. I did the wrong thing and bought the cheap one on the Jungle site. It shook as bad as the one on my truck. I then paid about 3 times as much and bought a genuine GMC from these folks: https://www.gmpartsstore.com/ and the shakes are...

    Help me diagnose my power door locks please

    1997 Yukon 2 door with barn doors: Driver door works manually, with the switch, and with the fob. Fob and switch do nothing for the passenger door or rears. Passenger door only works manually. The switch does cause the driver door to lock/unlock but not the passenger or rears. Barn doors...

    1997 2Door, what does Z71 actually mean?

    Some places on the Internet think Z71 includes stuff like a "locking diff". Other sources make it seem like it's just a glorified dealer profit package. What does it really mean for my 97 ? Thanks!

    Glory Days, oh brother

    Hi, I bought a 1994 2 door and loved every mile I put on it. Life intervened and here I am almost 30 years later. When I found this I was powerless to not buy it. 1997, 260K on the clock, 10K on a motor that already had 140K on it. Runs and drives near perfect. Original paint, dash, and interior...
