    Does anyone offer a HID projector housing for the Yukon?

    .....for about 5 weeks. Then one morning while testing my trucks lateral G capabilities last May, I had a deer run right into the bottom outside corner of my pass headlight at about 75mph and destroyed what I was so proud to have put together... Reminding me: Pride is the sign of a foolish...

    Does anyone offer a HID projector housing for the Yukon?

    ..... #6 LOW projector pattern #7 LOW ONLY when HI's were activated :D . Light output was A++++ for about 2.5yrs. But I knew I had two issues coming. Spyder's weren't rated for Xenon temps and started melting in a little blob where beam concentrated -and- Morimoto's weren't rated for...

    Does anyone offer a HID projector housing for the Yukon?

    Oh do I..... Pic #1 All started when I was sure I was too smart to need to remove front bumper to install some LED's, broke guide pins and side brackets on housings. Drove w/cork shims under housings til couldn't stand it anymore. Then jeffazon must've overheard me complaining, bc he sent me...

    HAHA! Well if they're anything like the rest, they won't answer the phone M-TH after 4pm. Friday you'll be lucky to get anyone after 230

    That's exactly what I need! Something to quickly eliminate or confirm candidates with. Thank you......again I was a little bummed that she didn't put so much as a glimpse of me in the video footage(she never does) ;).... But she did get my board in the background

    WOW, Bruce has 5. And all 5 have an RPO sticker (with AXN), stuck to a VIN printout that shows RWD on it. They're in the little thumbnail pics to the left. It helps that Im using a touchscreen computer with the ability to pinch pull zoom in out.... That gives me about 5hrs to find one...

    LOL...by "short and to the point" are you making fun of my mid-nightime small novel? -or- What's written in the link to Amanda's story on the WW event? Did you watch the video? I honestly had no idea if GVWR was one of the factors or not? Associative logic made me think it could be? I was...

    Thanks guys for the responses.. I really will be up against it here before I blink.. But, God willing, I'll survive and be better from it James, Instead of just asking how you came about those LKQ's being 14 bolts, I was trying to play Sherlock Holmes and examine the listed info & pictures...

    Not sure why I didn't just ask this from the start? Being stubbornly independent is good and terrible at same time. But it occured to me today that I'm on a timeclock, Ive got a commitment to house three volunteer Gold Star Families for a Wounded Warrior Ski/Snowboard event coming up weekend...

    10-4 that's a copy! The info I got came from a Parts Dept perspective. I shouldn't have used the "=" symbol. Let my excitement get the better of me. What I got wasn't a description of the RPO. It was what that RPO indicates to the Parts Dept's now, in '23. Dude said it was the...

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    So I think I've finally found the description for the ever elusive RPO Code: AXN [ this is straight from a manager for GM. If anyone disagrees or knows different please educate us all ] So it most definitely distinguishes the larger housing needed to fit the larger 9.5" ring gear and...

    HA! It's almost like they don't want you working on your own late model vehicles? I've got a master list of possible donor vehicles started now; and when/if I survive this battle along with the battle I'm in remodeling our kitchen. I'll go back, find others and post consolidated list

    Rear axle C-clip removal guidance?

    Well if they've been around that long and have never caught on, then maybe @Rocket Man is right about the smell? lol Fell asleep watching axle rebuild video on youtube, when I woke up there was one of those "ingenious gadgets for your car" videos playing. It was on there. First time I'd ever...

    I LIKE THOSE! Those are my colors.. There's still a few American Made out there but I don't think Jeffazon will sell them.. Two weeks ago I finally talked my lady into not renewing out prime! Took 5yrs but I finally got through to her lol. Pretty sure that Safe Jack is made in...

    Thanks for the info on the leaf spring options! At the end of this thread, assuming I make it there, I'd like to put together a master list of all direct bolt up axle options for '07-'14 GM full-size SUV/SUT. I think it would shorten the learning curve for anyone who wants to do this. A...

    Rear axle C-clip removal guidance?

    HAHAAHa I didn't remember saying the debatable and fluid part of that post. At least I'm finally learning to CYA or CMA. Thought of this exchange we had when I saw this companies stands last night. Not sure what happened to their two legged stands though, the Renn Stand?? They're no...

    I was pretty sure it didn't exist, but two days in a row at two diff yards in two diff states these places were trying tell me that the 10 bolt I was looking at had a 9.5" ring gear in it... Both were like "but it's a GU6 9.5, what does the number of bolts on cover have to do with that?"...

    Well, 340+mi round trip to learn: The sales staff at Bessler Auto Parts will sell you absolutely anything you can articulate in an understandable manner.. Also learned: Whether Bessler actually, physically has said item or not, and how that may or may not inconvenience you is completely...

    In a perfect world I would be after 9.25" or bust for front, but I'm buying one of the Torsen helical carriers(Eaton or Powertrax) today and they're $200 more for 9.5 than 8.5.... The saved $$ on 8.25 helps offset that...in my mind anyway lol

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    $150 + $80 core + tax =$243.80. Bessler Auto Salvage Wilder, KY found on car-part.com Quoted me $235 w/3yr unlimited mile warranty. I figured since putting one of the Torsen style carriers and all new bearings, no need for warranty. He came back $165 w/o warr. I said how bout 150...

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    Mine 2011.... Both those are 8.25's. Not sure what year the one missing it's long tube flange came off of? Didn't see donor. Part was on shelf. Only bought because it was the closest 3.42 to me and literally had to go right past that yard Tue. Also, assured I could go ahead with rear swap...

    Rear-end swap: 8.6" 10 bolt w/3.08 >> 9.5" 14 bolt w/3.42 + 3.42 swap in 8.25" front (or else)

    Can't remember who it was, Last week while I was reading through one of the threads on here about this axle swap deal, someone(and I just spent about 20min trying to find it)said something along the lines of "make sure the 14 bolts you're looking at buying are not 8.6 3.42 10 bolts being...

    90 minute drive to salvage yard and THERE WASNT ONE 9.25" FRONT NOR ONE 9.5" REAR axle at this place... Despite the fact that I talked to dude 5 times this week, including twice this morning, each time making it crystal clear what I was looking for.....smh The only thing that kept me from...
