    Tips for routing chime speaker

    Hey all installing a kenwood with maestro rr. Any tips on how to route the chime speaker? Not sure if there’s an easy access panel anywhere to get it from behind the head unit to somewhere in the dash area or below the steering wheel somewhere

    Has anyone used a 24284077 Torque Converter (6L90?)

    No it won't have too much stall. The converter is a really nice unit. They have flywheels out there that allow you to use all 6 bolts, otherwise you will only be able to use 3 with the factory flywheel.

    Carplay on front screen, different media on LCD screens?

    Hey all, I am going to pull the trigger on this unit and eliminate my DVD player. I am a noob with this stuff, I'll do engine stuff all day but I don't have experience with all of this. It seems like a lot of moving parts. Anyway, it's this unit...

    Another option I am looking into https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DMX958X/Kenwood-Excelon-DMX958XR.html?tp=78184 With a magicbox 2.0 attached to it somehow. Question on these receivers, how are you connecting external USB to them? Also, if I do the magicbox can I have apple car play on the...

    Deleting DVD all together is also an option. Can just toss a firestick back there yes and stream yes? Nevermind, this has no rear entertainment https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500ILX507/Alpine-iLX-507.html

    P0335 (crank pos sensor) issue

    Drove the truck all weekend, absolutely no issues with it. Many WOT pulls. It feels really good with the ported heads up top now. No coolant loss either, it appears both issues are fixed.

    Gen3 Gen4 LS Vortec heads info

    I just had my 821 heads ported by LME. I can definitely feel a drop in torque at like 3500, but it pulls really hard past 4500. I think if I were to go back in time, I would have skipped all the N/A mods and just put a 1900 on and been done with it. But I had a bad head gasket, so I wanted my...

    2012 Yukon XL Denali - Recommendations for (close to plug and play) aftermarket stereo head unit?

    Okay reading some reviews that the kenwood is very slow to boot up. Slow bootup is a dealbreaker for me, I dont want to wait to be able to back out after starting the truck. How fast does the pioneer boot up?

    This one looks like yours without the navigation? I don't care about the nav, I never once used it. I just use apps for that https://www.crutchfield.com/p_130AVW4500/Pioneer-AVH-W4500NEX.html?tp=5684

    2012 Yukon XL Denali - Recommendations for (close to plug and play) aftermarket stereo head unit?

    Okay sorry I am a huge newb with this, I only do engine stuff LOL But since I revived my truck, I want the system to be a bit more modern with stuff like carplay. So that unit plus an adapter plate will basically replace what is in the red? So I will do HVAC through the touch screen only?

    I noticed there aren't many options using the vehicle fitment guide. Are you guys just using a different face plate or something for other models? Would this work in my yukon? https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DNX997X/Kenwood-Excelon-DNX997XR.html

    Video tutorial I found for an escalade. The Pac RP5-GM31 has a port for the rear DVD player. Is this the equivalent part of the maestro rr 2?

    2007 6.2 Denali 230k smoke on start up

    What color? If it's blue and goes away, it's oil and probably valve seals.

    Misfire can’t find the issue.

    I just fixed weird electrical issues in mine and was causing the crank pos sensor code but was not related to that at all. I replaced both battery terminals (1 black wire, 2 red wires to starter and alternator). https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/p0335-crank-pos-sensor-issue.146759/

    6.2 swap thread

    I am putting on green cats today, I have had them for 3 years lol. Finally time to install them. Which means the resonator is coming off too since I needed to use a different corsa pipe to connect the Y pipe to the muffler. I only had the resonator because my ex wife hated noise, now I don't...

    6.2 swap thread

    Here I will show you the reasons not to use a roloc disc ever on aluminum mating surfaces. I did use it successfully for my stainless steel header flanges though. You can hear the cold start tapping very clearly too. It is not nearly as bad now.

    Has anyone used a 24284077 Torque Converter (6L90?)

    Whipple has a kit too Contact cspracing.com and see if they can give you a discount on it A good stall shouldn't affect fuel economy except around town since you'll be unlocked a lot. I don't think i'd really like a stall in a truck though tbh. Driving around my stalled C7 gets old after a...

    Engine replacement labor costs

    I picked up my 6.2 long block with 50k on it for $3500 a couple years back. I would be amazed if a shop only charged 2500 to swap it.
