    Grimlens in the electronics

    07 Yuke Denali right? Definitely remove battery, slow charge overnight & have parts place load test it. If you haven’t replaced -/+ battery cables yet, do it now. They can be the source of rot on the inside & pristine on the outside. Once replaced you can be assured any codes coming up are not...

    2007 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L v8 - planning to convert back to stock z55 / autoride all around - assistance/advice/input would be v appreciated

    Ran outta room. Below are the parts and prices of front strut rebuild from rock auto. Ignore the TPMS module & z95 struts since you’re z55. The link below shows how to swap from steel to aluminum front suspension like the 15-20 trucks use. I’m doing the aluminum swap since my 09 Esky AWD...

    poltergeist in the electrical system

    If not done yet, always, always, start with replacing the -\+ battery cables. They rot from the inside out. They may LK pristine but be rotten to the core inside. After that you’ll have a good platform to work off of

    If you’ve got e85, run a few tanks through to clean out the deposits.

    2011 Denali Radiator Replacement

    Order the Gates belt kit off Amazon with the green belt. OEM radiators are guaranteed for life and seem to last for about 5 years in my old Yuke & current Esky. The issue with radiators seems to be the material (plastic) head tanks.

    Oil pressure drop 2007 Tahoe 5.3

    I had my Indi replace the oil pressure gauge when the trans was being replaced. Pretty sure he didn’t use OEM because it reads 30-60-120-90lb sporadically and then freaks and goes to zero which sets off the alarm. The manual gauge will verify a brand new, bad, outta the box sensor and/or...

    Anyone with a silver Tahoe ?

    When I had my window tint fix it ticket reviewed at the highway patrol in the 80’s the hot ticket was to park far away with your windows rolled down. The cop would look out the door to the office and write it off. Fortunately I hadn’t heard of that and he made me roll my window down to prove I...

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    GM OEM from Amazon like new can be a hot deal. Got a lot of my aluminum suspension parts that way for my Gen III. Almost all the parts are returns from ordering Alum when it wasn’t called out for steel only.

    Tire Noise Reduction -- Any Experiences with Fender Liner and/or Fenderwell Treatments?

    Oh my glob. The Fatmat story is scary stuff. Strange it stayed on the roof where the heat gets it and slithered on the sides. I’d have more of a meltdown than the fatmat did

    2018 Yukon Denali - Help confirming suspension

    Arnott recently changed from lifetime warranty on their MagRide struts to just two years. GM recently changed from one or two year warranty to lifetime on MagRide struts. If possible purchase from R/A to ensure any possible warranty issues in the future will be seamless. The dealers pricing...

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    This … Amazon is crafty and will insert suggested items in the middle of a reputable stores page. Usually with a comment like “similar item for 25% less” that goes to jAcks AuTo PerTs with pictures of items robbed from the actual GM part store. Key words of advice. Use noggin and PayPal in case...

    In the driveway

    Yukons are the hot ticket right now. There’s probably about 10 states in the US where the Yuke’s, all the way back to Gen 2, get 10-20% over CMV on sales & trades. Before your first brake job up front consider and research the Brembo upgraded front brake kit. You can offset the cost of the next...

    Protective masks?

    Before we moved into our current home I used a 3M respirator with replaceable cartridges you could specifically change out for paint and or dust. Thanks to Amazon you can get the knock off versions on the cheap. Asbestos, mold, welding on galvanized, you name it. These things saved my lungs...

    Simple question: What happens in your vehicle when you push the talk/mic button on your steering wheel?

    Just don’t push the do not push button.

    Is This A PPV, An SSV, or What?

    You got a cream puff. That would be Vandenburg Space Force Base now. That thing may have never seen an unpaved road.

    Tire Noise Reduction -- Any Experiences with Fender Liner and/or Fenderwell Treatments?

    Engine bay & mat may be an issue. Will it get gooey from heat or find an ignition temp that makes it burn like a tire?

    Wind noise, yes I’ve searched.

    At the Caddy dealer they’d say … with your VIP discount and being a local resident your total came to $503.21 and and we’ll call it an even $500 with your parts discount.

    Belltech Shock Replacement

    Love the pic. Oh how we take SoCal weather for granted when it comes to vehicle wear & tear. Not sure if anyone else has mastered that shock setup for lowered truck set ups yet. Maybe Belltech has something new up their sleeve.

    will it fit?

    Yes, I think you scored. Both are 6SP 6L80 and pretty sure the 2010 & 2011 are compatible years software wise. Let’s put the Bat signal up to see if @NickTransmissions can verify.

    OK, Bought a 07 with a couple problems today.

    The oil pump swap without removing the pan is awesome! Reminds me of the short lived TV series Big Fix Alaska where master mechanics went out to unforgiving, inaccessible places and working miracles on heavy equipment that should have been put out to pasture. Up North, if you’ve got heavy...

    CD changer runs by itself and drains battery-07 Tahoe

    If the 07-11 truck had Navi, it turns on the Navi disc reader when the key is inserted. It’s trying to avoid any delay or lag in the system by starting it up before you drive away.
