FNG with a Denali

[DenaliEd]

Hey guys and gals, found some good info for my vehicle on your forum off the Googler and thought I'd join and see what there was to see. I'm Edward, and I have a 2009 Yukon Denali (non-XL), factory Nav, Heated/Cooled seats, no rear DVD, 4 Captains Chairs, 8 spoke 20's, 6.2L/6L80E, Black on Black. I bought it in October 2015 (had it shipped up from AZ/CA) with 78k on it to drive Uber with it, drove Uber for a while, then changed jobs, now it's just a daily driver, taking me between work 3 days a week in the Minneapolis area to my GF's in Northern IA on the weekends. I just turned 128,000 miles and hope it makes it a lot longer than that. It's been nickel and diming me a little bit lately, I hope that's coming to an end. I have sort of come full circle since my first vehicle, a 98 Tahoe LT, that I drove for about a year when I was 16. I'll post some pictures once I grab them off of my phone in a little while (It's a Black Denali on 20's, you know what that looks like!), and look forward to getting some help with some minor issues.

Cheers!

Welcome! Sounds like a sexy combination, but I'm partial to the non-XLs.

Thanks! My parents had a Suburban, and that was just too big for what I wanted/needed. The non-XL Yukon is perfect. Looking at your mod list, I too have the MIT/Dryflow, and a catch-can. I also switched to the Tahoe/Suburban style cupholders with the open area, versus the wood grain cubbies that the Denali came with. I carry too much crap around to fit in that tiny cubby, lol.

You still have that center console thing? The door over the smaller (useless) cubby on mine is broken and I can't find any locally. But, I'm gonna look up pics of the one you switched to. I may just do the same.

Welcome from Miami Beach Edward!!

As much as I love the Suburban and XL Yukon it more then I need also plus it would stick out of my parking space too much and even parking it in Queens N.Y. would be a issue even in a garage as their garages are smaller then the ones in Manhattan.

Juan, I rent a place in Lakeville, and work in Bloomington, but I'm only up here 2 or 3 days a week, normally. I grew up about 100 miles SW of Minneapolis.

Thank ya! I'm still on the fence. I like the look of mine with the doors closed, but that front compartment is a waste so it's a form vs. function battle for me right now.

welcome! seems you found it the same way I did. Lots of good info here, from preventive maintenance, to complete teardowns.
