    Toni's 03 XL Denali Resurection

    It actually is, the entire vehicle is in excellent shape, engine is clean, no oil or mess, no door dings but the front bumper has marks and the passenger rear bumper has been backed into something. The seats are better than I could have hoped for, the carpets are not though. It was clearly a...

    Toni's 03 XL Denali Resurection

    The plans are simple, make sure it is reliable, replace anything that needs replacing and watch my wife enjoy driving it on long trips. I would enjoy modding one of these but this one is for my wife and she doesn't care about cool mods. Today's order was small, new key fobs, oil pressure...

    Toni's 03 XL Denali Resurection

    Thanks Kenny, it will be a long process but I started making a parts list today and ordered a few small things. I took the third row seat out today, (we will never use it) and it was a major pain. I do not think it has ever been removed as the latch on the front was stuck and required several...

    Toni's 03 XL Denali Resurection

    We have been looking for an older Yukon XL Denali for quite a while and pulled the trigger on one yesterday. The goal with it will be to bring it back to excellent working order with minimal changes. We enjoy taking long drives to explore our beautiful Texas back roads. We had been using her...

    Someone tried to steal The Beast, now the ignition wont turn on.

    I am so sorry this happened. Thieves really make me mad. It is one reason we live out in the sticks, we rarely ever lock our house and never lock our vehicles. Once upon a time there was a write up on LS1.com or install university where a guy wired up the ignition to the window switch, you...

    Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

    Physical size is important too, a block of wood is not flammable but powedered wood is. A chunk of steel is not flammable but steel wool is. Reduce rrhe size of ATF and it burns easier.

    Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

    I learned in Physics class long ago that anything will burn if the conditions are right. Take a high pressure line with a pinhole leak that aerosolizes transmission fluid and it will be very flammable, if it sprays on a hot exhaust manifold, it could ignite. It is possible, but also very...

    Zero oil pressure - is the damage done?

    I recommemd the Melling High Flow pump, I had it done on my 2003 2500HD at almost 300k miles. The truck is at 314k miles and strong as ever. It had been running on low oil pressure for about 10k miles, low at idle but not when driving. The new pump made a difference on this old truck...

    How much fuel do you take?

    Out here in the sticks it is defined as driving in the city, stop and go, as opposed to highway driving at speed. To me, there is a difference in driving on the freeways of Dallas as opposed to fhe painful stop and go of Austin. Obviously fuel economy suffers more with stop and go. If your...

    How much fuel do you take?

    How much is that highway versus city?

    Intermittent clacking noise

    I do not doubt it. It makes sense if broken bolts are not replaced, but I cannot remember ever seeing it.

    Intermittent clacking noise

    Good news! I have seen plenty of snapped bolts but I don't think I have never seen a cracked manifold since SBC days.

    I didn't open them all, something to do with old eyes and a small phone screen. High contrast gets noticed easier, our brains are wired that way.

    You forgot a link, the one that shows white is the most ticketed color and red is the second. The eye naturally tracks the highest contrast item in view. Speeding is always a good way to get a ticket but if a red and a tan vehicle are side by side the radar won't pinpoint exactly which one is...

    Broke my antenna like a jackass. Where to buy housing?

    Drill bit, screw/bolt extractor, not difficult at all.

    Yeah, that is why I wanted to see the RPO codes, to know what is there, or originally there.

    I won’t disagree, it is always good advice. Whatever I end up will have some things new for me, mainly suspension as in air ride and electronic shocks. The basic mechanical doesn’t worry me, I will know during the test drive if there are issues with it that would prevent me from buying it or...

    A PPI is always good advice, I know all too well, I have done it for others. Though I am not a mechanic, I got my first job turning wrenches in 1976. I have paid a mechanic once to work on my vehicles because I didn’t want to do the job. :D

    It is nice, however NADA lists avg. retail at over 11 grand and rough trade in at just slightly less than he is asking. It makes me think there is something not right. Perhaps the wife and I will take a drive down there next week if time permits. We have been deep in getting the extra house...
