    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    I just realized the censor blocked out the word S A N G E R……. In my last reply As the brand of boat….. really?!?! What’s offensive about that?! I love the forum but seriously this censor thing is just pathetic…..

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    It’s been a stressful couple of days with the fire, touch and go but the winds died down today and the temps have dropped quite a bit. Latest yodate from CalFire this afternoon looks good for getting it more under control through the night. They lifted the evacuation warnings for the east end of...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    I hadn’t heard about the rear wind issue either so I was a bit surprised. I use an electric hand held blower that’s pretty powerful when I’m blow drying but it takes quite a few passes to get all the water out of the trim seals. I’d like to have an air compressor for that reason so I bet that...

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    The mornings haven’t been too bad being outside to work but yesterday and today the smoke settling into the valley when the wind dies down is absolutely horrendous. Almost toxic. Even the inside of the convention center tonight was smoky and hard to dance. But I’m glad I told the owner I was...

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    Been sitting on 2 quarts of trans fluid to service my transfer case for like 3 weeks now…… transfer case service was WAY overdue….. thanks to a MASSIVE forest fire burning around my mountain right now I had the day off today due to the far west end of the big bear valley being under evacuation...

    Getting the new axle shaft in wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be which was a nice surprise.

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    so life has been a trip lately. I’ve managed to make good friends with the general manager of our local autozone. It just so happens that he and his wife go to my church. Really cool dude and very knowledgeable. I was asking him for some advice about replacing a torn CV boot, on the drivers side...

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    Ditch the Bridgestones as soon as you can and go for the Michelins. My 2006 had brand new Bridgestones on it when I picked it up in late February of 2015. They were hands down the worst tires I’ve ever had. No traction in even the slightest bit of rain which in my opinion is just pathetic. The...

    Curse of the 02-06 Escalade 3rd Brake Light

    Yup…. Seen this happen to a lot of them. There’s a couple services that can fix the LEDs as well as fix the backsides of the plastic screw mounting tabs. I chatted with one guy last week based out of Tennessee. He seemed quite knowledgeable on these things. Mine has a crack in the outer housing...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    Very interesting read. Seen a few wagoneers rolling around big bear but only a few. Caught my attention because one of my long time clients had one for the last two years. I believe hers was a mark III as well. Pretty low mileage on it as she didn’t beat the heck out of it. Ironically she just...

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    In theory yes but in application no. In auto mode on the 4WD transfer cases you’re still only getting power to 2 wheels at a time until the wheel speed sensors detect traction loss and will apply power to another wheel. The AWD transfer cases in the older setups, like mine, are exactly that. All...

    Good look headlights! Excited to see how they look on truck! Hopefully they’re good quality!! I did t know you could get aftermarket housings with HIDs and correct projectors for that already installed in them now. That’s cool.

    Dealer had my 24 Yukon painted without my permission.

    Closest GM dealer to me is at least an hour’s drive away on a good day with no traffic, down at the base of the mountain I live up on. So it’s not hard for me to believe that the OP is 2 hours away from a GM dealer. We just dont get big car dealerships like GM in small towns. In fact we don’t...

    Differential cover bolt torque specs

    Hey guys! 2006 Yukon XL Denali AWD is what I’m working with. Searched around and couldn’t find precisely what I’m looking for. Lots of other models year specs but can anyone provide proper torque specs for the bolts holding cover to rear differential to housing? Mine were loose today and a...

    I’d be curious to see if it’s doable and see a process for it…. For “research” of course. But with maybe a more serious ultimate goal…..

    The lawsuit should have been for more $

    I’ll never buy another “aftermarket” extended warranty. When I bought my Denali I paid for an extended warranty on it, less than a year in, my transmission kicked the bucket and it was supposed to be covered in the warranty. My Denali ended up sitting close to 6 months while I battled the...

    Sunroof track arms have snapped - any experience with a fix?

    I sourced good control arms and the little spring loaded clips for the wind deflector out of a Denali in a junkyard a few years back. It still doesn’t go up, it just stays down when I open the sunroof so I just said whatever and figured the deflector can stay down. Like you said the sunroof...
