    Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

    Can you post some photos of your roof? If I keep my 2001, it's going to need the roof stripped and repainted.

    Silverado door panel swap on 2013 Yukon XL?

    Good point. If I get serious about this I'll probably get a set of factory manuals and make sure all the wiring harnesses line up. I did this before installing tow mirrors on my 2001. Really helpful to know exactly what goes where.

    Where is the best on-line site to sell my 2006 Tahoe??

    So FWIW, I'm looking to sell mine, and fear folks will say the same thing (that I only joined to sell mine). I found out about this forum from the guy I bought my 2001 from and have been lurking on it for about 2-3 years. As we say on another forum I'm on: "de-lurking is de-lightful".

    Austinite's 07 Escalade Blacked Out on 35s Build

    Do you have a link for that touch screen? Looks really interesting.

    Same question I ask to myself should I gotten Denali over a Tahoe

    More features mean more to break, more to repair, more maintenance. I love the infotainment system in my truck but am not looking forward to the day the hard drive or a button quits. I can fix it myself but it will take a while. Are there any dealer docs from GM that suggest one has a better...

    Denali grill upgrade

    Thanks for the links! I'm looking to do this same mod at some point. I really prefer the Denali grill style. Please keep us informed if you see any peeling or bubbling over time!

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I was going to do KYB MonoMax shocks today on my 2500. I've had to reschedule for later this week.

    2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - moving up from 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    The second row seats in the GMT900 fold and tumble for stowage. But nothing seems to hold them in place when they're stowed. Indeed, the owner's manual warns that the seats can fall and should be placed in the seating position for driving. That's lame. Underneath the first row seats, toward the...

    Is the Denali Hands Down the Best Tow Vehicle?

    If you're looking to stay with GMT800 - I know of a really nice one with 4WD and the 8.1L for sale, if you truly want the best GMT800 tow vehicle.

    Silverado door panel swap on 2013 Yukon XL?

    I think so, yes. But it's just a cable IIUC.

    Silverado door panel swap on 2013 Yukon XL?

    My door pulls on my 2013 Yukon XL are snapped, like so many others. Taking a look the Silverado door panels are a bit nicer. They have a second grab handle, two cupholders, and more storage. I'm thinking about putting them in my Yukon. But I'm worried about switch compatibility. Mine has power...

    Driver Bottom Leather Seat Cover and Pad Install

    Funny, I bought from a shop that claimed the same things, and then I found my two tone seat covers were half real leather and half fake leather. I called them and they said "that color was discontinued by GM so we had to make a substitution". I was furious - and already out $500 for covers and...

    Door Grab handle repair

    It's really obvious: the door handle will feel like jelly.

    California Hybrid 93k miles LTZ 4x4 :)

    Yeah. It's a nice idea, the hybrid. If the conditions were right - maybe a 2013 that was used as a backup truck for a corporate outfit, with like 50k miles and 1500h on the drivetrain, just off warranty - I'd consider it. Or maybe if you're really handy and have a second donor/parts vehicle and...

    Bypass front autoride shocks

    The reason I was asking was that I thought some of the 2500s would have auto ride up front. If so, I was wondering if that would still be the Z55 option code.

    Exhaust/oil odor, LSD chatter on my 2001 LQ4 Denali - Help!

    I guess all I can do at this point for the odors is keep checking with a borescope and my nose for the source of the odor and the leak. I've been trying to run this one down for a year and a half. I think it's a little bit of everything. It's up for sale, but, there is a slim chance that I'll...

    2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - moving up from 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    Hmm. Maybe that's why I'm having diff locking issues with the wheels cut in my 2001. Local mechanics suggested using the LSD additive. I guess i can flush them and test.

    Exhaust/oil odor, LSD chatter on my 2001 LQ4 Denali - Help!

    Mine definitely has the G80 RPO code. The vehicle isn't readily accessible at the moment, but, I'll check to see if there is some aftermarket front differential on it. Who knows, maybe i'm feeling the back lock up - but it sure feels like it's coming from the front.

    Exhaust/oil odor, LSD chatter on my 2001 LQ4 Denali - Help!

    I pulled the HVAC Odor Diagnostic from the factory service manual. I worked through it with my mechanic. The heater core is good, no leaks seen with a boroscope, so I'm wondering what else it could be.

    2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - moving up from 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    I spent so much time driving early-2000 model year vans that I can usually get the trailer hitched, solo, on the second try no spotter just looking out the windows, and on the first try if I use trailer alignment poles. But I did really appreciate the camera on the GMT900. :D

    2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - moving up from 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    For sure. I ended up getting an SLT and it's loaded. Zero regrets. Interesting to see exactly where GM spent money and cut corners in the GMT900, and how they loaded every feature available at the time in the GMT800. But I'm saving all that for a later post. First the basics (fluids, shocks)...

    Towing and Road-trip Question

    Mountains? In Texas? :hahano: I think you'll be fine towing your boat to the coast. Monitor oil and transmission temperatures. I can't remember if you'd have an additional transmission cooler but if you do and it's plugged due to prior lack of maintenance you'll see temperatures rise. If you're...

    Exhaust/oil odor, LSD chatter on my 2001 LQ4 Denali - Help!

    LSD chatter is likely just insufficient LSD additive since it only does this when hot. I may give that a try.

    2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - moving up from 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    Time to start talking about the search process. In this post I'll briefly discuss why I chose a 2500 SUV, and specifically, a late model one. I'll briefly discuss the different options available, and what I was looking for. When I undertake a major purchase such as a vehicle I divide it into...
