    Most people delete magnaride when it one of the shocks begin to fail since its cheaper than replacing components of the mangnaride. I deleted magnaride, but i went up with fox coilovers instead of down. 2/4 drop would look good.

    Front Display Mirror CarPlay on Rear Display

    Not quite exactly what you are asking but this is unconfirmed but hypothetically should work. I do know you can use a Roku on the system and with the vehicle in motion bypass, should give you access to a variety of options to view on the front and back tv at any time. i want to do the in motion...

    Torque Converter

    Just a small update, as time will tell, but i put (2) 10oz of LubeGuard ATF additive in the trans and on my first little test run of about 20 miles the shutter is completely gone. Hopefully this will be at least a 10k mile fix so we will see. I don't drive much so it may take a while to get there.

    Has anyone had to flush and replace the 8 spd fluid a second time?

    I have a 2016 with the same issue. I purchased with 75k miles on it but according to the carfax, the trans fluid was changed at 53k. i was having issues and had the TSB and fluid changed at 100k. its at 112k with the proper fluid i believe and now and doing it again.

    yeah, i should probably go at least talk to them before i jump to any conclusions. Just didnt know if anyone has had the issue ongoing and an end all be all solution.

    Torque Converter

    I had the TSB done for the vibes done around 102k miles on my 2016. They covered it under warranty. It solved the issue for about 10k miles and now it is back to doing it again. After some reading i opted for a $20 fix of Lube Guard Synthetic ATF protectant. haven't put it in yet but hopefully...

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    I thought the same thing too. If the compressor just went out on its own, id be ok with replacing it. but i am concerned that it was my set up that caused failure so id be fighting this battle forever... i will probably bypass the compressor for now, i am about to pull a trailer with a truck on...

    Vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim

    sorry for the late response, but i rarely got on here. i did it all with the help of a buddy. its cheap enough and if you mess up, just redo it. using a plastic razor blade and its pretty easy. just go slow, and you'll probably need to budget for a few extra pieces at first until you get...

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    So my service suspension light is coming back on at every start. Compressor is not kicking on. Now, i did delete the rear air shocks for the Fox shocks. However, i did kinda hybrid adapt the factory compressor and ride height sensors to work with airlift bags i added. I am assuming the setup i...

    Steering Wheel out of alignment all of a sudden/Do Rack and Pinions go out on these?

    Well, found and fixed my problem. The first time I took the tires off, the ball joint wasn’t visibly loose, and as you can see my ball joint completely failed and was only still in because of the weight of the car holding it in place. Replaced both sides upper control arms. Needs another...

    Blackbear Tune

    And its not unlimited retunes now... like when i bought it. You can imagine my reaction when he told me he was no longer going to honor the terms of the sale.... And it took 45 business days i think for my retune spring of last year.

    Awesome. Thanks. Do you recommend a good replacement upper control arm?

    Steering Wheel out of alignment all of a sudden/Do Rack and Pinions go out on these?

    The master tech said it was a driver side upper control arm bushing. The popping and awful steering has gotten progressively worse. I’m going to change all the control arm bushings, away bar bushings, probably ball joints depending what tools I need. Since I just rolled 100k I’m going to do...

    2016 Yukon XL Denali 4wd 102k miles After searching through the threads i couldn't find anything like my problem. I made a 200 mile round trip this weekend, and the first half of it went smooth. I was pulling a utility trailer with about 2k pounds, not sure if that matters but worth noting...

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    after a 250 mile round trip, No codes or messages. I did hear my compressor kick on and turn off so i am assuming everything is working. I probably should hook up the scan tool one more time before i return it, but it appears that the replacing the front left sensor that was bad has fixed all my...

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    Really? I just went on a 700 mile trip and i could have sworn that i was over 84mph several times. I do have a black bear tune though so i dont know if that effects it.

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    Thanks for all the good info. Looks like my only option is to pay for the rental. I was really hoping there was an easier option. But I will update when I get it figured out.

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    What code limited you at 84mph? Ive got a blackbear tune so hopefully that should never be an issue for me. I would be furious is something i did to "fix" an issue limited me like that.

    Mainly because the " Cheap " resistors cost $450 a set.

    Service Suspension notification on every start

    2016 Yukon XL Denali 4x4. I deleted the mangaride with a set of fox coilovers and Xingeering bypass modules. I have been getting a service suspension notification everytime I start now for a bout 2 months, ( I havent touch my suspension system in over a year). There is nothing in my suspension...

    Blackout fog lights.

    I plastidipped my fog light bezels. The finish blends in nicely to the rough plastic next to it. Although the gloss wrap would killer. This was cheap and easy.

    Vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim

    I got quoted 1800 to wrap everything on mine. Lololol. I bought a 2” wide roll of 3m vinyl on amazon or eBay. And a sheet of 1ft x 5ft (or something like that) for areas that would have been too wide. I couldn’t have paid over 50 for everything. I watched a few YouTube videos and just gave it a...

    Vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim

    Thanks. It’s pretty easy. You will learn as you go and might want to redo some like I did, but it’s all pretty easy and cheap.
