    "Hot" Side Unboxing - Twin Turbo Install

    So after a bunch of debating back and forth between various forced induction options, I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Armageddon Twin Turbo System for the Caddy. The "Hot" side just arrived. Still waiting on the Turbos and "cold" side to be delivered. Will be dropping everything off...

    Windshield replacement

    My worse fear... Windshield replacement. My concern centers around the HUD. I was told there is a special type of glass used from the factory and aftermarket replacement windshields distort the HUD projection. i.e. The image is out of focus, blurry, and just generally poor in image quality...

    Finally Installed the Maggie!

    Sounds great... That's close to the same sound that my Magnaflow Catback puts out and I'm still stock before the Catback. On cold starts my truck is loud enough that I can hear it from my 3rd floor condo and I've had a neighbor leave an anonymous complaint about the noise on my front door...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Kooks Stainless GREEN Catted Y-Pipe arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the headers. They got shipped to Jet-Hot for coating. I was hopeful that Whipple would have released the Gen 5 supercharger for the '15 and up SUV's by now but that doesn't look promising at this point. Now I'm trying to...

    Show off your 2015-2020 lowered tahoes and yukons

    You absolutely killed it! Any pics of the air-ride install? Totally off topic question but what dashcam are you using and how do you like it? Been thinking of getting one installed but undecided on what to get.

    Drop the Yukon XL

    Another vote for Belltech. I have the BT 1019 kit with 2" spindles and the OEM spring isolators left in on the rear. My rear settled out to exactly 3". Never bottomed out and no free travel mod. You've got a lot of options since you don't have to work around MRC. I also hear good things...

    How to get 700hp (2017 Denali)

    Wait.... Whipple released a Gen 5 supercharger for the GM 2015 - 2020 SUV's??? When did that happen?

    What roadside assistance do you use?

    Onstar... Mainly because the service came complimentary when I bought the Cadillac. I also have AAA plus whatever my car insurance and my credit cards offer in the way of roadside assistance.

    Escalade NorCal 2/3 drop, Ferrada FT1, T-Rex grill

    Looks great.... As a matter of fact, minus the grill, our Esky's could almost be twins!

    LT headers and Y pipe for Yukon 6.2 with 4WD

    The Denali they did is sick!! I had serious truck envy when I watched those vids and was planning to copy a lot of what CCS did on my own Denali. I got as far as the full chrome delete and then the Cadillac sales guy started calling me and made an offer that was hard to refuse. I miss my...

    LT headers and Y pipe for Yukon 6.2 with 4WD

    I asked specifically about Classic silver polished vs. satin black vs. flat black. I ended up going with classic silver polished for appearance reasons. Plus it was $25 cheaper. LOL Maybe others can chime in with some additional intel, but I thought it was pretty much a known fact that ceramic...

    LT headers and Y pipe for Yukon 6.2 with 4WD

    If it were me I would call any of the following and ask them what they use. It looks like all three have modified a Denali at least once. Katech hennessey LMR (Houston) Also, Classic Car Studio is right in your backyard (Brentwood, MO) and they have a custom built 2019 Denali on You Tube that...

    Finished the Dad Wagon but fighting with exhaust

    @Racie Please keep us posted on how things turn out. I thought it made more sense to do headers at the same time as a full custom exhaust so placed an order for Kooks Headers and the Green Catted y-pipe this morning. Unfortunately according to Kooks I might not actually get the headers...

    Finished the Dad Wagon but fighting with exhaust

    I ran the Magnaflow 12909 with the same headers/catted y pipe on my 2019 Denali (rest of the exhaust was stock) and it didn't really sound too much different than stock. I've got the full Magnaflow Catback exhaust (no other mods) on my Escalade now and its got a nice mellow tone to it. Cold...

    Trade 16 for 19?

    Personal preference here but if the 2019 has the 10sp transmission that would probably be enough to convince me to pull the trigger. I had a '16 LTZ with the 6sp and it was a solid performer but IMHO the 10sp is flat out better. Agree on the comments regarding 2wd vs 4wd as well...

    EZ Pass Mounting

    I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Officially-Licensed-NAVY-Windshield-UV-Protective/dp/B08WH9Y371/ref=sr_1_136?dchild=1&keywords=ez+pass+holder&qid=1620352526&sr=8-136 Granted... I don't have a daily commute that requires the use of an EZ Pass so I had no need for a permanent mount.

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I used a light curb rash episode as an excuse to get new "shoes" on the Caddy. Same wheel, different finish... and a much, MUCH better road force balance job. Also painted the front brake rotor "hats" black to match the rear.

    Norcal_ss Lowering Kit Warning

    Excuse my ignorance here but what's the difference between Tony's 2/4 kit and the Belltech 1019 2/4 kit? When I swapped the MaxTrac stuff out for Belltech I was working with Tony as well. He actually did a pretty good job of giving me short/summarized answers to any questions that I had. I...

    Show off your 2015-2020 lowered tahoes and yukons

    +1 what @STORMIN08 said... Failing that.... I had a Lincoln Navigator with the same symptoms. Rode quiet on the highway, smooth roads, etc... Rattled like a MoFo on bumpy roads, when going over speed bumps/humps, etc.... Turned out to be a broken swaybar end-link. Just something else to...

    Console “downgrade”..?

    I don't have any pictures to confirm but I would swear that my 2016 Tahoe LTZ and my 2019 Denali had the SAME console style. i.e. Both consoles came with the lids.... Is it possible that the console in the above pic is from a Tahoe LT?

    Curb rash

    For any curb rash/rim repair experts out there..... Can this be fixed?
