    06 Yukon considering 03-06 Sierra front end

    I am making some changes to my Yukon. Caddy D pillars, roll pan, rear wiper and roof rack shaved. The truck is lowered with 8" and 11" wide 20s with big brakes and a built motor transmission and rear end. I'm stuck on the front end. I don't want to do a Denali clip because it's too luxury for...

    Finally going to try and run some low 13s

    I saw that thread and I think it made up my mind to do a roll pan and paint my Caddy D pillars white. I'm thinking about a grey or black grille and all white bumper. Kind of a sporty look to go with the motor, bigger brakes, and 20x11 rear wheels with a 315 rear tire

    Finally going to try and run some low 13s

    Right now I can't decide if I want to paint the Caddy D pillars I got black or white. Since my windows are 5% over all the glass I am afraid that the white would look out of place but if I paint them black they wouldn't look much different than the stock ribbed Tahoe/Yukon D pillars. Then I saw...

    Finally going to try and run some low 13s

    I have had several GMT800 SUVs but I've never been able to keep them long enough to do what I've always wanted, make a performance oriented fullsize SUV. Finally the time has come with my current one. I ordered Tony's lowering kit and it's about 4.5"-5" with new shocks and adjustable panhard...

    I've seen some Yukon with Sierra front clips

    I know the Yukon and Sierra shared the same front end for a while. But there were a couple years where some parts were changed and I can't remember those years. Please let me know because I like that Sierra clip.

    2006 GMC Yukon 5.3 to LY6 swap question

    Long story short air have some nice spare parts from 2 other builds. I have this LY6 that I wasn't sure what to do with. If I got the Lingenfelter 24 to 58 conversation box and dropped the LY6 in with a healthy cam, the 1 3/4 headers merged to the 4" exhaust I have. The Yank SS3600 stall, built...

    Hopefully will get a fullsize TBSS or GMT800 Tahoe RST built

    My Trailblazer before the new motor went 12.8 with just bolt ond and a Yank 3600 and RPM Level 6. When we put the motor in I was thinking the added cubes and torque would make in stall higher. So I talked myself out of a 4200 or 4400. On a 325 M&H with the 3600 it wont cut better than a 1.8 60'...

    Hopefully will get a fullsize TBSS or GMT800 Tahoe RST built

    I would love an LSA or a turbo on my Yukon but then I have to look at 4L80E. My Silverado I'm planning a 388 and TVS2650 and it should be bat shit crazy. My Trailblazer has an 11.8 CR 416 that is rowdy as hell. So a little more mild NA Yukon that seats 7. Has a mild lope that doesn't repeat...

    Hopefully will get a fullsize TBSS or GMT800 Tahoe RST built

    So far the parts I have is a Yank 3600 that will come out of my TBSS for a 4200-4400, 4.11 gears diff and hardened axles from my Silverado when it was Procharged, the 1 3/4" headers, the LS2 I have when I put a stroked LS3 in my TBSS that will either go back stock or a cheap 402 since I don't...

    Beside the transmission, it is a GM and they can't really build a suitable transmission without tons of mods.

    Hopefully will get a fullsize TBSS or GMT800 Tahoe RST built

    I have always wanted a Tahoe/Yukon to perform as good as a stock Trailblazer SS or better. Then GM introduced the Tahoe RST but I have always loved the GMT800 body style. I have gotten close improving everything but the power before selling it. Now with my 06 Yukon I am in the process of...

    NorcalSS kit, broken DJM end links- help

    Maybe y'all can answer one question for me. The shop that installed my lowering kit didn't install the two energy suspension bumpstops that came with Tony's kit. Where exactly do they go? Because my steering needs some TLC, it looks like I'm getting sway bars, GMT900 brakes, and new wheels and...

    NorcalSS kit, broken DJM end links- help

    My passenger side endlink did the same thing. I have Belltech 5305 coils, adjustable panhard, and from what Tony said it looks like they didn't move the sway bar over which is why mine broke. So now I'm considering upgraded sway bars, new wheels, GMT900 brakes all in preparation for adding more...

    Torsion to coilover

    I can't give any input on going from torsion to coilovers but I did make the swap on a RCSB I am building. Drop spindles, Viking DA coilovers for the front, flip kit for the rear leaf springs, Caltracs, smooth body DA Vikings and the kit to relocate them behind the axle. EVERYONE I talked to...

    Brand new 24x11 wheels 305 tires

    I like the wheels but when I saw the silver head bolts or whatever at the edge of the spokes it ruled them out for me. Those and fake beadlocks are a pet peeve of mine.

    4" tailpipe that fits Yukon XL 2500

    It's obviously dark so no. I still have cats and manifolds just the 4" diesel exhaust where the Y pipe meets. When the headers go on I'll do 3" section from the collector to where they are side by side and then use the Flowmaster dual 3" in single 4" out. That merge is spoken highly of and if...

    Anyone run SSBC upgraded calipers?

    I ran those very calipers with SSBC 14" rotors all around and stock rear calipers. I built that truck for my wife and she was very happy. Even with heavy ass 22s

    Would it be possible to get the 14" rotor and caliper relocation bracket for a GMT900 and install it on a GMT800 using the GMT900 front caliper and GMT800 kit for the back?

    I get what you are saying about the JL4. When I put the SSBC brakes on my wife's Yukon XL they had some aggressive pads. Maybe EBC I am not sure. When she got the CRV we got SS lines, cross drilled rotors, and EBC pads. They didn't even last a year. Either my wife drives like a stark raven...

    Unless I am mistaken mine is 16" so I can't run it on the front with the drop spindles or the GMT900 brakes once I upgrade.

    So the kit you just listed goes from the hard line on the rear out to each caliper? Then a line to each front caliper? What does the other 2 do?
