    Air ride or bypass

    I haven't had to touch my Autoride struts yet, though I'm sure that's in my near future. I just replaced the pump when it failed, because I like having the Autolevel working when I tow. I'd never disable the system for cost savings. I'd expect that to hurt resale, at least, if not the comfort...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I have the special tool for installing and removing the spring clamps, which makes the process easier. I actually prefer them to worm-drive clamps now.

    There's nothing to stop someone from posting their own contest. Solicit nominees for a while, and then post a poll.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I got my used Esky appliques color matched and cleared this weekend. They still need to be wet sanded a bit once the paint cures. But I'm pretty happy with them considering it was a rattle can job. I also swapped my Eagle Eyes fully-lighted CHMSL over to an OEM Esky wing I bought on eBay that...

    Lol. I'm a recovering engineer. I can't turn it off.

    I don't recall the exact chemistry involved. But when the thread locking compound cures it outgasses something that embrittles plastic. It doesn't have to touch it. Where I work we build machinery with various transparent plastic guards. If someone puts that on a fastener used to attach it, it...

    Nope. Anaerobic thread locker makes plastic brittle and crack. Learned that one the hard way.

    I need to buy a lottery ticket. I removed my appliques to color match them, and noticed this: I've had the spoiler off a few times to deal with the rubber flap coming loose. I guess I didn't tighten this nut all the way: What are the odds that it would hang right there perfectly...

    Brake Upgrade

    I get that. But FWIW, I think the red looks fantastic.

    Okay. I wanted to improve bulb longevity. But I don't want to sacrifice light output or distribution.

    Bummer. Thanks for trying.

    07-14 Yukon Headlights

    I'm here for the one year update. How they doing? My finger is on the trigger to get a set. EDIT: If I wanna upgrade to LED, I need one each of H1, H7, 4157 and 194 per side. Correct?

    2013 Yukon headlight assy bulbs R&R

    I want photographic or video proof that any normal human can reach the back of the housings through the tiny holes in the radiator support. I tried that on the driver side. Even after removing the aux battery tray and loosening the washer reservoir, the hole in the support was way too small to...

    2014 Yukon Denali Part out

    Not yet. The OP said he'd let me know when he removed them.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That's exactly what I did. They came right out. I was able to get them out and in with a 22mm open end wrench. But it was an ordeal to snake the wrench in there with enough room to move it. I need to get me one of them socket thingies.

    Overkill is right! I was looking at 1/0. But really #2 would be plenty. Nice job. I need to do this.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    We had an unexpected nice weather day today. So while my neighbors were doing yard work I installed my catch can. I split the existing plastic PCV hose and used a heat gun to mash flares into the ends (I'd bought a replacement just in case). I also put a 90 degree twist in the long piece so it...

    Lucky how? That I got 122k out of them, or that I didn't lose any fingers replacing them?

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It had 98k when tuned, 122k now. He didn't say they were bad, per se. But he said it would be a good idea to replace them soon.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    When I got my BB tune 24k miles ago, he told me the O2 sensors were ready for replacement. I finally got around to it today. It wasn't terrible. But it was a tight fit for my ham hands to get to the driver side connector. I just did the pre-cat ones because the others were turned off in the BB...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yes, I have noticed more vibration at idle. But I'm assuming it's due to one or more of several tune-up/maintenance items. I'm working through those as I can.

    Making Yukon look a little more modern?

    Thanks for the pics. If you hadn't said which was which, I would have assumed the opposite, based on the color temperature. Maybe the different ambient lighting between the photos is affecting that. The beam pattern with the new ones looks pretty nonuniform in the photo. Does that show when...

    Making Yukon look a little more modern?

    One of my front turn signal bulbs has burned out. And the OEM housing leaks a bit. It looks like a royal pain to get at the lights to swap bulbs. You basically have to remove them. So I've been thinking of getting these: Does anyone have experience with them? I want real world experience...

    2014 Yukon Denali Part out

    I'm wanting them to vinyl wrap and swap with mine, just in case I break one removing it. I looked for something to base a price on, like eBay. But there weren't any individually for sale. LKQ wants $5 each for small trim pieces, vents, etc. So how about $20 for them?

    Vibrations at idle

    I's be surprised if it was a motor mount. I just replaced the driver side motor mount on my 2012 Denali, which should be the same as yours. It was ripped almost completely apart. I noticed no engine vibration at all, at idle. I could tell the mount was broken because there was a pronounced...
