    strutaeng's 04 2500 4x4 project Suburban

    I had an 01 2500 Burb a while back and had bought it dirt cheap. Had tons of issues but the more rugged fix I did was for the defrosters. It was an LT with all the options (except Quadrasteer) but at some point a PO ripped out the servo that moved the blend door. To remedy this, I tied a piece...

    Add night vision to a 2024 Yukon Denali

    Being “not wrong” really is just as good as being told “You’re right.”

    Add night vision to a 2024 Yukon Denali

    Anything is possibly for the right amount of $$$. For the amount that it would likely cost to integrate and incorporate (since it’s not a standard feature available) it would be cheaper to contact ARB or Ironbull to develop a steel bumper and add a ton of aux lighting to see the deer and protect...

    I got me a Tahoe!

    Do the swap! 6.0 aluminum with a 6L90. Then supercharge it. Make it into what the police always wish they had. I’ll be here for that build

    Blackbear Performance Review

    Also, quick update from a week of driving. No MPG gain to be seen yet… might be about .3MPG less right now. Slight mix of me THROUGHLY testing the new tune or some long idle times (maybe both), but without a doubt they have greatly improved the drivability of the truck. Thoroughly recommend...

    Blackbear Performance Review

    Blackbear fixes this. Or at least it made my 2018 think like a German with an American V8. Zah-right-gear is POWERBAND!!!

    Spun Rod Bearing - 2021 Yukon Denali 6.2 L

    Unfortunately to say, brand loyalty is not a real thing anymore unless you also carry a name-brand last name. But companies only care about loyalty if you are buying thousands of vehicles annually, not 10-20 over a lifetime (sorry, I’m a downer here). Resale: Eh. Kinda/kinda not. It will...

    Blackbear Performance Review

    What is the physical difference between a FF and non-FF engine? Maybe a dumb question but I’m wondering if the “stealth” feature is there but the difference could be injectors or something else buried deep into the truck. Maybe?

    Blackbear Performance Review

    So it’s been interesting. I’ve been doing a good bit of “general” maintenance (will post in the 3500 thread I have) but VIN lookup at the parts store has the question about flex fuel or non-flex fuel engine. I believe my truck to be non-flex as it was a fleet vehicle and came with a sticker...

    Blackbear Performance Review

    I do not think so yet. Looks like they stop around the 2018/19 model year. I think it has to do with the underlying system coding.

    Blackbear Performance Review

    Justin did a bang-up job on the truck. Drove for the first time on the highway today with the tune and it just pulls so much harder and longer. Doesn’t seem to get “wheezy” at higher RPM. No input on MPG yet.

    Blackbear Performance Review

    Quick update: Still need some more miles to be driven but MPG seems to have been affected heavily in a positive way. Seeing 16-18MPG where I used to see 13-14MPG. Shift response is unbelievably fast and the “firmness” really has not been an issue at this point. Will report back later this week...

    Aftermarket Lighting?

    Good luck! There should be PLENTY of room. There is gobs of space behind the grill.

    Aftermarket Lighting?

    I THINK you can program that in the infotainment system.

    Aftermarket Lighting?

    I had two leftover L-brackets from another project that I drilled two holes into the radiator support (I think that’s what it is at least) the. With a nut and bolt, mounted it up. Not a great pic but you can see where I sprays a bit of black paint to seal it up after drilling.

    Aftermarket Lighting?

    Side and rear? I don’t have anything but for front lighting I installed two Rigid fog lights that I also built a custom harness that connects them directly to the factory fog light switch. They sit behind the front grill.

    Has anyone installed Cadillac Interior?

    I will look into it a bit. I’m thinking it might be tied into Cue which is not in the Chevys… hmmm… things to think about.

    2nd engine failure, waiting since Oct 17/2024

    This right here. I do not believe anyone is aware of any failure of the 6.6L which is available in the 2500 and 3500 Silverados. I have the 6.0 Vortec and the thing is reliable like death and taxes. Again, commercial client that would not tolerate the short lifespan and potential revenue loss...

    Has anyone installed Cadillac Interior?

    Hmmm… if someone wants to donate Escalade ESV Platinum bits to me, I’ll give it me best shot lol I think getting general functionality will be as “easy” as plug and play but I think getting all the Esky premium bits will be the difficult part. @Marky Dissod I think GM didn’t allow messaging...

    Has anyone installed Cadillac Interior?

    You didn’t know the Caddy’s came with messaging seats? Connects directly to your phone LOL. Messaging/massaging hahaha auto correct/spelling error The Cadillac I think had that fancy piano black haptic feedback system so I wonder if the connectors would be compatible with the the Chevy/GMC...

    Has anyone installed Cadillac Interior?

    Probably not, but going to throw this out to the group: Has anyone thought about installing a Cadillac Escalade Platinum seats into the Tahoes/Subs/Yuks? I know they come with the message seats that utilize an interface with the entertainment system. Has anyone looked into this in any capacity?

    2nd engine failure, waiting since Oct 17/2024

    Correct. There is also manufacture buyback agreements that accommodate outlier situations like this one with the OP. It still brands the title as a Buyback unit but does not negatively brand the vehicle as Lemon Law. Makes it easier to resell and usually looks at situations, like Lemon Law...

    How would you value this 2018 Yukon XL with a used engine?

    Find something more vanilla. This seems a bit high and appears baked with dealership profit. Don’t forget, they paid $15k in trade, made $5k on the sale of the car to previous owner, then another $2-3k in financing so they only have about $10-14k in total cost in this truck… Then the dice roll...
