2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

[tgui]

My Yukon has a funk. I got this. I turned the AC up and set to recirculate. I let it run for 10 minutes after spraying a bit. Well see how it is tomorrow.

I've got a kit coming that allows for a cabin filter too.

Interested to see how that turns out.

Also, what kit is it you have on the way for the cabin air filter?

It's an official acdelco retrofit. You cut a hole like where the nbs filters are, insert a filter and use the new part to cover the hole.

I'll post pics and part numbers when it get it.

EDIT: I asked my wife today if she smelled anything. She said there was a complete lack of smell. Before she said it was musty like an old sock. I got a carbon filter with my kit as well.

Oh and the old battery was damn old. I wonder if it had a bad cell or two and I was smelling sulfur.

This is the pooling causing my hatch to rust. I park on a hill.



I drilled a hole in each corner. Much better!!

Drivers door inside handle had peeling chrome so I replaced it.



Passenger rear door handle chrome was loose and bubbling.


New part


The speakers aren't rotted like my last nbs Yukon. Yay!



Hitch cover was ripped off instead of properly removed by previous owner. WTF?! I'm trying to build up new tabs with plastic bits, glue, layers and time.

About how much time & effort are required to chance the inside door pulls?
My driver-side and passenger-side handles could use such treatment.

30 min per door. I'm slow. Get a good kit for pulling body panels and push pins. There are some good YouTube vids on pulling the door cards.

Right on.

Generally speaking, there are two sources of funk in a car: the A/C or something in the cabin itself. A/C can become overwhelmed and corrected with certain treatments, but the cabin is usually much easier to address.

Wife bought one of these and I swear by it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BOH6BM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Put it in an enclosed area less than the size of a small bedroom. All unwanted aromas will be GONE within 48 hours, if not much sooner.

Cool.
if the source of your funk is in the cabin rather than in the A/C system, you'll be rid of it within about a day's time. Guaranteed.
