Man, I just don't have the time anymore.

I am looking at a 2007 Yukon Denali. 6.2, 6 speed, AWD. If I get a fair payout and save for a while I can buy with cash. I can deal with high miles. Hell, I can rebuild a 6l80e if needed. I also have all the tuning hardware.

Not super pretty, but nice interior with possible NAV and backup camera. Prices are low if you look around.

A turbo 6.2 anyone?

Hmmmm....

I had the parts already so I replaced the knock sensors and harness because of a code being thrown. Plus if I end up keeping the Yukon I don't want engine damage from too much knock.

Mouse turds and dirt. Yum.



Knock sensors wet and corroded.


New intake manifold gasket.


Cleaned up with new knock sensors water proofed a with rtv.

Crazy news. The insurance company is cutting a $7250 check and I get to KEEP my Yukon! Hot damn!

I just need to find a place to bend my rear frame up for cheap. It doesn't have to be perfect, just straight enough.

I've got a paint matching rear hatch on order for $200 from ebay. Then I need a bumper, rear tail light and then some body work on the dent in the quarter panel.

The hatch might not be perfect, but the paint matches.

What great luck!

Yukon is at the shop now getting the frame worked on.

Also got a new bumper. $180 shipped.


Bad thing was the gate I had shipped was severely damaged in shipping. Both sides were crushed in. Its hard to find a paint matching gate. Damn.

Shes on the frame rack at the shop. I went over and took some pics. Goddamn it looks pretty good!

$500 frame, $180 new bumper, free mount.
$200 rear quarter panel pull and paint.


$880 so far out of a $7250 insurance check.


I still need to figure out a new lift gate....
