    '07 Yukon XL Denali motor tick when 1st startup

    Looking forward to hearing what you find out. My 07 Tahoe LTZ makes the same noise on cold starts and stops after a minute or two. Good luck!

    Roof Rack 4x4/offroad basket conversion

    Thanks. I looked at everything out there and custom was the only way to get it exactly the way I wanted it. The trick was to find the rack I liked and the mounts. The ARB was costly, but there are a lot of others out there. Good luck with your project!

    Lower Door Seal

    I checked various suppliers and the best I could find was at: https://www.gmpartsoutlet.net/oem-parts/gm-surround-weather-strip-22766410?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9ZG9vci1hbmQtY29tcG9uZW50cyZsPTE0Jm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJmE9Y2hldnJvbGV0Jm89dGFob2UmeT0yMDA3JnQ9bHR6JmU9NS0zbC12OC1nYXM%3D Entire door seal is...

    Dual Batteries installation.

    Nice job! Totally agree on the benefits of two batteries. Plus, the space for the battery is already there. After reading a million ways of doing the install, I went with a Keyline isolator and have zero problems for over a year. The kit came with everything I needed for wiring. Just added...

    High Mileage Invest Money Or Not?

    Keep it and fix it! I have an 07 Tahoe with 200K miles and just keep making it better. The more you fix and mod it, the better you know the vehicle. Have learned a ton on this forum and saved a lot on 07 fixes. Good luck with your Tahoe!

    Where do you carry your spare oversize tire?

    I am running 35X12.5 BFGs and originally went with the Wilco Max hitch mount solution. Decided to go heavy duty for strength and security, so I went with an Iron Bull rear bumper and cut bumper and welded in the Wilco Hitchgate Max. Modified the Wilco to mount wheel with standard wheel studs as...

    Rear cargo area roof leak

    I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ that had the same leak problem. The dealer quoted some huge expensive fix. An older service manager walked by and said Tahoes and Suburbans often have a leak that is caused by a twisted rubber wire loom between the body and door at the top of the rear hatch. He reached...

    07 Tahoe performance upgrade

    Great deal... congrats! I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ with 198,000 miles and went with Kooks long tube headers with 2.5 inch exhaust and Magnaflows. Also went with K&N equivalent of the Air Raid intake as well as Edelbrock wires. you definitely want to get a good tune as well. Good luck with...

    What are the best plugs and wires for the 5.3?

    I have been very pleased with Edelbrock’s wires. They have a great look and performance and work well with headers.

    2007- up aftermarket hood

    Didn’t see a Yukon hood, but worth a call. This is the best quality aftermarket hood that I have owned. I have had several. Works great with stock hardware and struts. Also like the airflow. https://amerihood.com/

    2007- up aftermarket hood

    I agree that many fiberglass hoods flex. Important to get one that is properly reinforced and has well designed mounts and latches. Stay away from Duraflex if you want a stable hood. The name says it all. I am very happy with Amerihood... fit great, feels solid, just prime, paint, and...

    2007- up aftermarket hood

    I replaced my 2007 Tahoe LTZ factory hood with an Amerihood fiberglass cowl hood with ram air vents. The hood is great quality and fit incredibly well with stock mounts. The ram air vents are routed to the factory or aftermarket air boxes and cowl vents heat out of engine bay. Just painted...

    Roof Rack 4x4/offroad basket conversion

    I removed the stock 2007 Tahoe roof rack and filled the holes with paintable sealant. We then used the Smittybilt Defender Rack Adjustable Mounting Brackets (Jeep) to mount an ARB Alloy Flat Roof Rack. Mounted the brackets with rivet nuts. Painted rack and mounts with Raptor paint. No...

    Brake upgrade

    I put Power Stop Z36 Extreme Performance Truck and Tow rotors and calipers on my 2007 Tahoe LTZ and have been very happy with towing and mountain driving in Colorado. Bought them at 4 Wheel Parts. Rotors are drilled and slotted and perform nicely with heavy Tahoe and towing.

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Thanks. Here is the before/after of stock 2007 Tahoe LTZ with autoride “upgraded” with Fabtec Performance 6 inch lift and many other adds. The ride is better than the stock ride. I am also enjoying the tow mirrors since the spare tire blocks some of the rear view.

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Raptor makes a bed liner kit that comes with the spray gun. I bought the upgraded gun that allows you to adjust the texture. The kit and sprayer are both available on Amazon and FAR cheaper than Line-X. You can also get Raptor paint that lets you mix any color. Even under coated with it...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    I went with an Iron Bull rear bumper for 2007 Tahoe. I like the way it wraps around to the wheel well. Also cut bumper and welded in a Wilco Hitchgate Max. Modified the Wilco to mount wheel with standard wheel studs as well... topped it all off with several coats of Raptor liner to match the...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Replaced my 2007 Tahoe auto-ride with a 6 inch Fabtec with 35X12.5 BFGs and the ride actually improved. Added many other options, but really like the Raptor paint... especially during hail storms and off road adventures!
