    Cabin Air Filter: where there was none, there is one

    So, I bought a cabin air filter on an auto parts website (while I was shopping for more important parts) for my 2011 Yukon, only to discover that these vehicles apparently don't come with cabin air filters after 2007. Interestingly, the filter came with instructions, and it turns out that you...

    Shot First, Now Aiming

    You're not alone. Everything I've read says they stopped put Carib in air filters in yukons and Tahoe on/after '07. However, I bought one online that says it's for my 2011 Yukon and it has written and pictorial (photos, actually) instructions on how to get to the filter, "cut" into the...

    Traction Devices / Snow Tires

    These are SCC Superr Z Cable Chains. Per manufacturer's charts, they fit. I put them on and there IS clearance. The tightest spot is just on the inside of each wheel in one little area. I forgot the name of the suspension part, but it's a little bar that runs parallel to the long axis of the...

    Traction Devices / Snow Tires

    Wintergreen. Snowed about 14" back at home, so we went to Wintergreen thinking it wasn't going to snow in the mountains. It quickly snowed 6" the night we went up there. If you read one of my other posts, I showed pics of MULTIPLE transmission coolers I installed. I was worried the...

    Different size spare tire - OK or no go?

    I have 20's. My 2011 Yukon xl has nice 20" rims with 275/55R20's. My spare tire is a full-size tire, but it is on a generic 17" rim. The overall wheel size is virtually the same. I read the Owner's Manual, and then I read some stuff on the internet and I got nervous. I tow a lot (boat and...

    2011 Driver seat won't lift in the rear

    This same thing happened to my 2011 Yukon about 2 years after I bought it. I didn't take the seat off though. I don't believe it's the motor. I read somewhere that it may have a round gear which went all the way to the end of a worm gear and the gear teeth and worm gear can't reconnect. I...

    Traction Devices / Snow Tires

    Hey guys. Quick tire chain on a 4WD question. I have never used them. I have a 2011 Yukon xl 4wd with 20" rims and with new all-season tires. I have driven this vehicle in town in snow before and it crawled along fine. But we're going to the mountains skiing this weekend and it is supposed...

    Aux trans oil cooler

    Corrections: in my last post I said RV, but I meant travel trailer. Also, the dash photo was in the evening when outdoor temp was only 62 degrees. But really, after towing the 8k camper, 5k boat, and other things, I can tell there's more than 63 dollars worth of transmission temperature...

    Aux trans oil cooler

    I installed a Hayden rapid-cool Model 679 transmission cooler on my Yukon xl with a 5.3L. It already had a tiny little "towing package" auxiliary transmission cooler in front of the radiator (the integrated radiator for the engine also brings trans fluid up in temperature and then provides some...

    Engine oil cooler

    (Crickets chirping) To condense my question: 1. Best brand of ENGINE oil cooler for my yukon xl? 2. Do I need adapter/catchplate with a thermostat (oilstat) or can I directly connect to the existing ports just above the filter?

    Engine oil cooler

    Hi guys. I'm new. I have a question about ENGINE oil coolers for my SUV. I want to know what the best ENGINE oil cooler is and what are the disadvantages. I have a 2011 Yukon XL 1500 SLT 4WD with 5.3 V8. I added an AirLift 1000 kit to the rear, added an OEM external transmission cooler...
