    Are you sure? Unless I am looking at the wrong part and this is the engine oil drain plug…?

    This by itself is a huge win for servicing these trucks long term. Everyone’s opinions and insight is super helpful!

    I am going to check to see if my truck does but I am 99% confident it does not. I think fleet vehicles did get them in some cases but not all.

    Newer trans doesn’t not have a dipstick. We are both planning to add what GM should have included.

    Great! I am in the same boat haha and will probably do it after a few more trips I have planned So I’m not 100% sure… I think the front end is a mix of pickup HD and previous gen-2500 Suburban. I would GUESS a lot of stuff is interchangeable but have not dug enough to confirm. I do know the...

    @Geotrash, will you be doing the add a transmission dipstick modification? I think this is something I am going to do and the 6L90 should be easy? Also, have been messaging with several major lift companies, no one supports our truck for aftermarket. Might be limited to stock replacement shocks...

    off-road and highway tires?

    **caution sarcasm following this disclaimer** Ya, I don’t need snow tires because I have traction control. It’s has gotten me out of course 10 FEET snow drifts after I swerved to avoid a rare albino snow deer. My AT are fine but everyone else should have them. Back to reality: I do agree a...

    off-road and highway tires?

    I think we need to start with where you are located. That will depend if you also need a snow rated tire as I would guess you do not have snow tires dedicated for winter use. Next is budget. I think you have been provided some great options but they all mean bumpkis if they are not in your...

    I think he was commenting on my earlier question about adding cooling to the front seats. All in all, it seems like any seats with cooling + wire harness should enable the cooling in the front. Back seats - ain’t gonna happen. Even the Caddy doesn’t have that so would have to be custom seats.

    You better believe I’ve earned that award. I think we should talk to the moderators about adding that achievement here. Tires/wheels will be a great discussion. I do love the HD wheels. The best were the GMT800HD ones but that’s my opinion.

    We will be traveling next week and looking much like you! We have the captain seats which I think is the only major difference between our trucks. It works well for the dog as she’s 100+lbs… she used to ride on the lap of whoever was in the back seat. Now she has a full dog bed. And as we all...

    Hello all!

    Welcome welcome! Can’t wait to pick your brain when something breaks… hopefully that’s never!

    Saved from scrap

    Here for the party! Give us all the break down what you replace/check. Plugs, coils and wires would be a good refresh to see if it’s a sparking issue. That can be a bit of $$$ tho if it has low compression

    You got the sticker?? Dang. Lucky… mine must have been removed and because I know the fleet it was it they put a sticker from a label maker that says “GASOLINE ONLY”… wonder if they had issues with ppl using wrong fuel before

    Ours trucks do not have the sticker unfortunately…

    Here is what the Suburban HD supplemental manual shows. If the truck has a yellow fuel cap you can use E85. I am going to ASSUME that your truck still has the factory fuel cap at 18k miles.

    2001-2006 K2500 Ext/Crew Cab-6.0 Gas

    Tires: #1 item to keep you out of the ditch and get you out of the ditch. Figuratively and literally. Leaks: My concern is how low the fluids got in the different components. Some might have been driven bone dry for extended periods of time. Would make me concerned too at this price. This is...

    Agreed. I think it’s interesting because I think there are several threads on here on how to add a second battery to gassers. It’s a nice benefit but expensive to replace!

    2001-2006 K2500 Ext/Crew Cab-6.0 Gas

    Those tires are crazy low. I’ve ran thru several sets of KO2s on my other truck and they start to ride/perform TERRIBLY even at 60k miles on them. They still work “fine” at 70k miles but traction is super low and rides like a washboard. Those are way past 70k miles…

    No opinion. From what I can tell unless running a lot of accessories this is overkill for a gasser. I believe our trucks came with the up-sized alternator as well. Plenty of power considering this is not a diesel or we are running huge plows/winches/lights at the same time.

    Great to hear it tows well with the 7k lbs. I was stalking on another forum and I think the holding gears is also a transmission tune that GM does on HD trucks vs the 1500 chassis. The 1/2ton will always try to shoot to the highest gear (even in tow haul) vs the HD tune which will more willingly...

    2017 Yukon Denali Rough Ride

    When was the last time you changed tires? Do you know how to read the date code on a tire? From experience the lower profile tires on cars can DRASTICALLY change the ride quality when they age out. The tread might be good but the compound itself can become super super hard and provide a terrible...
