    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles! - New Motor!

    After doing some digging and looking around. In the past I have used Lunati Voodoo camshafts on a Olds 455 and had really great results. Ive looked at crane cams, summit racing and others and I have not found cams or kits that will fit this application (some dont even exist!!) It looks like...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles! - New Motor!

    Awesome, thanks for the solid feedback! I guess i'll be doing the AFM Delete next on the list and do the new cam / lifters. Now, I have heard from doing a bunch of research that there are some GM Cam's that are awesome to really wake up this motor for pretty cheap cause of the millions of $$...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Haha thats the part im afraid of! You start off with a simple fix, and then while you are in there you start to upgrade 1 thing which leads to another haha Either way, it sounds like a programmer that turns off the AFM doesnt really resolve the issue and you really need to get into the motor...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles! - New Motor!

    Well with that kit it actually uses the stock headers which is interesting along with a custom downpipe, the hot and cold side is included with the entire kit which is awesome! The camshaft upgrade sounds like its going to be more of a pain than what its worth with pulling the heads, DOD...

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Did you do it with a kit or other means? Sounds like a 100k mileage problem where the motor just self destructs! Have others had this experience as well?

    2014 Yukon XL - LC9 5.3L blew up @ 94,xxx Miles due to AFM - New Motor!

    Hey guys, I have not been on here in a while and need some advice. A few weeks prior i was getting random check engine lights that would go on / off and would say #1 cylinder misfire. I did the standard troubleshooting steps prior to that such as fuel injector, all new plugs / wires etc Just...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    I agree the single turbo is small and would either need to do a single large turbo or twin which will help with spooling / lag. Seems from all the reviews as long as you are not pushing 30+PSI and provide it with proper oil they seem to hold up pretty well. Since i dont really plan on drag...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    Thanks for the heads up and the great information that should get me started and moving forward... I was thinking that due to the e85 injectors it might be able to compensate for the extra "Powa!!" from the turbo's I remember I had an Edge / Juice tuner on my 2500 Duramax diesel that plugged...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    Google will only get you so far from theoretical to practical application. I was hoping to get at least some useful information like: Hey the turbo is too small... try something like this xxx You will need a custom tune and that is $$$$$$ Stock injectors wont work for your requirements... etc...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    True, but it would be easy to create a plate to protect it underneath. I live here in FL and do the really have to worry about that. We are still suffering from a severe snow drought and not really sure when / if we will ever get out next storm :-) There are some challenges with doing this kind...

    Rear Mounted turbo - 2014 GMC Yukon XL (5.3L)

    So after looking around and doing some digging I wanted to produce more power with this 5.3L that is in my Yukon XL and dont want to drop $6K + For the edelbrock supercharger system out of the box and keep it to $1,000 or less. I have been doing a ton of research on rear mount turbo setups and...

    LED Headlights, Turn Signal and Fog lights - With Photos!!

    Thats a good question could be the bulb got loose or a loose wire- you can check with a volt meter if you are still getting power to it, or it could have just burned out. I installed these on my 2014 Yukon XL and fit with no problem. The resisters you can find all over the place on amazon / ebay

    LED Headlights, Turn Signal and Fog lights - With Photos!!

    Thanks! It was an absolute pain in the butt to remove the headlights to install the lights because they added in a tab on the side to inhibit the lights from coming out easily. Once I figured out how to pull the bolts on the top of the grill which give me enough room to pull out the light...

    '07 GMC Yukon XL Denali Brakes - 4 wheel kits - Opinions/Experience?

    Do not get cross drilled or slotted rotors for these big rigs. They create uneven heating in the rotors causing them to crack / warp easier. Most racing applications have actually banned them due to this reason as well They look cool, but high performance racing applications do not use them due...

    Clogged Fuel Injector + Fuel Pump Fuse Chaos - (w/ Photos)

    BTW, one thing to point out - the clips that hold the fuel rail to the injector are not available at Autozone, Advanced Auto parts or O'rileys. I had to order them off of Amazon and it was $10 for a set of 8. I accidentally dropped one into the engine bay in which was gladly consumed somewhere...

    Clogged Fuel Injector + Fuel Pump Fuse Chaos - (w/ Photos)

    The write up of this article is to go over how to replace a fuel injector and help those that have to do so in the future to save them time, money and to be safe! So about a month ago I got a check engine light for a generic code for the #2 cylinder misfire - which in the book it says could be...

    LED Headlights, Turn Signal and Fog lights - With Photos!!

    One thing to note I forgot to add was the Front turn signal, The 50W 6-Ohm load resistors may be needed to prevent the hyper flash. I had to do this otherwise the only thing that it affect was the turn signal where it would flash 2x normal speed due to the low power consumption / resistance.

    2014 Yukon XL - Gear Swap - 4wd

    I found some more information that will help others understand what carrier brakes are and why they are necessary / important. GM created a carrier brake at 3.08 and requires a thicker gear to compensate for the smaller pinion or a different carrier deck height ( new differential) Defining...
