    Welcome to the service Vortex... FML...

    Acceleration, less at higher speeds. Torque converter... I think it's the transfer case, or front diff because it is on the driver side. I sat on the passenger side to let someone else feel it and it was less noticeable. I'm less certain now if it is the tcase or diff. I might just rebuild...

    Welcome to the service Vortex... FML...

    None. I'm thinking it's the transfer case. Does anyone know what we have in our 2008 denali's, NP2xx??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2008 Transfer Case Grenaded

    Yeah, day two after a muffler shop jerked my drivetrain around installing my exhaust (magnaflow full cats and muffler). Today, it sounds like it's going to explode, gotta shut her down. I may just go LKQ for something quick to get me by, and rebuild mine myself... Sent from my iPhone using...

    2008 Transfer Case Grenaded

    Who did you go with for the new/rebuilt one. Mine is going, and it feels like it happens fast... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Welcome to the service Vortex... FML...

    Edited: Shorter Story. Catalytic converters are bad on 2008 Yukon Denali. Ordered Magnaflow cats and full exhaust. Couldn't find time or tools to install. Shop installed, but now: - runs like hell. Like, a house is hitched to it. Doesn't want to go over 2k RPM without flooring it. -...

    The real cure to my ticking engine

    Pretty awesome thread. I'd love to one day do the research and get the courage to rebuild my L92. I came across the oil pickup grommet failure, that didn't help my drivetrain - but it'll likely be the failure of my 6L80 that'll push me to a rebuild of it and the engine. Great job on a...

    Question about captain's chair swap

    So if I were to go the opposite way, this thread would have plenty people ready to swap captains for their bench? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Pressure Gauge Stopped Working.

    That sucks man. These are awesome rigs, tough to see a BS thing like this bring some of them down for good... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    Just sayin... weird stuff started happening when my oil pickup o-ring went bye bye. Had, stabilitrack, and multiple codes thrown, CEL that came, then went... If you're having any low oil pressure problems, I strongly recommend taking a look at what happened to me. Pics at the link below, and...

    Recommended Trans Rebuilders in Oregon?

    My '07 Denali tranny is about to go. While I'd more like to buy some tools and performance components to rebuild it myself, I'm busy as hell at work and need to pay someone... does anyone recommend a builder in Portland Oregon? I hate not doing anything myself, and there isn't a shop around...

    Random Stabilitrak/Traction Control lights

    I know it makes no sense whatsoever, but my stabilitrack and CEL lit up like a Christmas tree when my oil pickup grommet went out and started dropping my oil pressure down at idle. I've got a post on here somewhere of the 8 plastisized pieces that my rubber grommet had turned into, as well as a...

    Has anyone: swapped 6L90 for our 6L80?

    I haven't been able to find a thread where anyone has swapped the HD6L90. Has anyone seen something like that on the internet? Or, and adapter parts? I'm guessing output shafts are different, the transfer case would have to be worked with, custom drive shafts, trans controller, etc. 2007...

    Sourcing 6L80-E

    Naw, thanks though tony. I'm hoping to find something around Portland/Salem/Vancouver/Tacoma that I can just pick up in person. I'm probably going to be waiting for a while. The holidays brought a bunch of wrecks to the IAAI sale yards last year - I might just try to steal a deal on an...

    Sourcing 6L80-E

    What's the best way to get my hands on one, outside of EBay or buying a wrecked one from IAAI? Or, is ebay/IAAI/Salvage my best option? I'm up here in Portland OR. Our pull it yards don't have 2007 Denali/Escalade etc. parts. I don't work in the auto field so M-F BS'ing with salvage parts...

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    Maybe, for the diff. I like having stuff out of the way. And, I didn't know if they'd fall out of the hub and how fun putting them back in would be. My K2500 CV's were a PITA to get back in... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    A couple things: This isn't too hard, but you have to decide to go all-in to get it done. I have an AWD 2008 Denali, and I had to pull the rims, the CV joints, the crossmember, the diff, front driveshaft, the pinion steering, the whole 9 yards before I could get the pan down. You've got an...

    '08 Denali Rotor replacement: caliper bolts

    Success! And yes, that is a hex screw... All I could get in a flared head on Sunday. I bought two - the future has a couple maintenance purchases I'll post about later. Off to test drive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
