    Got these fancy headlights

    Most aftermarket headlight housings will peel after about two years or so. Especially black housings. I’ve had several sets on my GMT800 do it, including the anzo u bar so pad like $350 for…. Ridiculous at that price point to not have better clear. The good news is that it’s pretty easily...

    Got these fancy headlights

    It would help to know the year make and model rig that you’re working on, and phots of said headlights to determine how to help setup LEDs.

    Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

    Good on him! Went on a handful of missions trips when I was a height schooler in youth group, as well as a couple trips as a leader when I was 18 and 19 and helping my then youth pastor. It’s a n experience that changes you for sure.

    04 Yukon XL Denali: Replacing "ride control" compressor

    I have the dorman compressor on my Z55 equipped 2006 Yukon XL Denali. Replaced the compressor I believe in 2017 and it still works perfectly. Runs at the startup of each key cycle for about 5 ish seconds as its designed and hasn’t had a problem since. Many times I’ve heard dorman parts are hit...

    Gas mileage

    I live in a mountain ski town as well with a 2006 AWD Yukon XL Denali. I don’t even really bother thinking about fuel economy when I’m home in the mountains cuz it’s all around town driving with stoplights and we dont go more than 45 miles an hour anywhere cuz we can’t really lol. Whereabouts...

    OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

    Hydro boost brakes and the electric cooling fan set ups were two of the biggest reasons I wanted a 2005 or 2006 GMT800.

    Pinging at WOT...

    Yeah I knew about the rear tag. Wonder why they didn’t make the LQ4 6.0s flexfuel capable. Not that it would make a difference for me since literally none of the stations up here in the mountains where I live even carry E85 to run my truck anyways lol

    OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

    The upgrades that keep these rigs moving safely down the road are so worth it. Why I upgraded brakes. I’m gonna upgrade suspension a bit before I power upgrades for reasons just like this so I can maneuver myself out sticky situations. Bigger and longe roasting brakes have kept me from several...

    Trying to install 2003 Denali driver seat into 2001 Yukon SLT

    The pre 2003 trucks ran on an analog electrical system while the 2003 and up trucks switched over to a digital electrics system. While I have seen 2003 and newer seats in a handful of pre 2003 trucks, it’s not an easy swap. I’d imagine that to make all the power adjustment switches functionally...

    00-02 to 03-06 tahoe window switch conversion?

    It’s not doable. The 2000-2002 GMT800 pickups and SUVs runs on an analog electrical system. The 2003-2006 GMT800s got an entirely different digital electrical system. So the electrical switches from the pre 2003 rigs won’t function in the post 2003 trucks, and vice versa since they won’t...

    Rims

    If the wheels are from the same generation pickup or suv as the one you currently own, the sensors in the other set of wheels should work on your rig. If the wheels are coming from a different generation of GM suv or pickup, you will need to have the shop put your current sensors onto the new...

    2003 Yukon General Maintenance

    The bottom of the oil pan has a tube that picks up oil to bring it up to the top of the engine from the bottom of the pan. There’s a gasket type ring around the lower half of said pipe, and eventually with age and mileage on the engine it goes bad and doesn’t hold pressure as well. That being...

    Pinging at WOT...

    As far as I’m aware, the engines in the GMT800 platform that are flexfuel capable were some of the non Denali 5.3 Yukons and 5.3 powered hoe/burbs. Not sure why the 6.0 isn’t but I’m not fully read up on it. So I could be wrong. My owners manual doesn’t not mention anything about flexfuel...

    NAPA Alternator

    The funny part was that it wasn’t the tow company’s rules…. Just AAA. I couldn’t cancel the tow and when the driver showed up I started apologizing for wasting his time since I wasn’t gonna let my truck leave without me, and he’s like “oh that’s a load of nonsense and not our rule….. we’re not...

    NAPA Alternator

    Yeah….. NAPA brand parts like alternators and starters are crap….. they come with a lifetime warranty because they die. I’m on my third Napa starter in like 6 or 7 years. To go along with what @OR VietVet said, my mechanic buddy that did the first starter replacement told me that the NAPA brand...

    Pinging at WOT...

    Just for clarity based on @iamdub ’s last sentence in this reply…. The LQ4 6.0 is not a flexfuel capable engine so I would not recommend putting E85 in the OP’s tank. Lol.

    New Yukon Denali owner with some questions

    We’ve heard this story time and time again with dealer techs and service departments. Some suck and do bare minimum and some are great and will go the extra mile. If the ride is as bad as you describe, and it’s under warranty, find a new dealer, read their reviews online and talk to existing...

    Is a Denali worth it?

    The only GMT800 mode you will find with a LTZ will be in suburban and it will only be 2006. That was the first year it was offered and they’re hard to find since Chevy didn’t build a ton of those that year. Plus you won’t have a two speed transfer case with selectable 4x4 options. The LTZ...

    2013 Suburban on 35s?

    You won’t get 15 inch diameter rims over your front brakes. They require a 17 inch wheel minimum.

    Is a Denali worth it?

    I mean they’re essentially near 6,000lb land yachts….. I didn’t buy it hoping to get the fuel economy of a Toyota Camry…… lol
