Looking to buy a work truck. Need expert assistance.

Thanks for informing. By the way I will need to swap out towing mirrors. They are automatic, but only with adjustment. I want to make them fold automatically. Do you happen to know how to do it? I saw some on Amazon for $100 with automatic folding, but how to make it work with my Yukon XL, I have no idea.

Currently, there are no power FOLDING or EXTENDING mirrors for our generation of truck. I have a friend who is supposed to be engineering him, but there is one project ahead of this he's working on.

Ok, that was an accidental lie. There is one company I just remembered (but not their name), and I'll dig them up if you want me too. I forgot about them, sorry.

I have the Rancho 9000 adjustable and I like them. Not expensive either. Highly recommend and can be bought on RockAuto.

Don’t do 20s. Will sacrifice ride comfort. Stick with 18s.

The window is likely the regulator. I think those are known to go out. I think there are several threads talking about it.

I can't say about the Yukon XL / Suburban 2500 ride, but 20s on the 2500 HD did not mess up the ride for me.

Got and abs light. But it glows steadily not flashing. I hooked up a scant tool. Appears to be front wheel speed sensor. I ordered it from Rockauto already. Should be by the end of the week. Also I would need an oil change. Sometimes light is on sometimes it is not. I think I will do both of them at mechanic shop. It's not a complicated job. I will have to use to this truck. It's huge, but still not as huge as my Sprinter. I will add top view rear camera and parking sensors to it. And also will remove rear bumper. I will install Street Pan roll. And modify the towing hitch. Those few inches play a lot in NYC.

Don't forget your roof rack! That will hold some of your stuff.

The towing hitch relies on the two bolts run through the bumper for stability/strength. If you go to a roll pan, you will want to switch out hitches entirely.

Also, check your grounds. That could be causing the ABS light to randomly turn on/off as well.

Congratulations on your purchase!

Have someone tried These wheel adapters. I can't find budget wheels for 8x165.1 maybe I could get lucky with 8x180. Looks like my truck has factory 2 inch lift. So I should be good with 20 inch rims. I'm not planning to install huge 33" or 35" just a bit more stylish rims. Tell me what you think

I advise AGAINST going for adapters. There are plenty of rims out there for the 2010- GM, 8 lug trucks. You could even get some oem takeoffs -- from RAM!!! -- from 2024/2025. RAM and 2010- GM 8 lug trucks run the same 8x 165.1. How do I know? Check the vehicles in my sig.

I got the wheels for my truck off of FN Marketplace. They are Xtreme Mudder wheels.



I think I paid $300 for them; they are 20s. I did have to replace the caps, which -- for Xtreme Mudder -- were $49.99 EACH. I found Moto Metal wheel caps for $19.99 each, and they fit like a champ. I did have to get new bolts to hold the caps down, though.

Now I have wheel locks on the rims, plus secure torx holding the caps on. None of that will stop a dedicated thief, but it will take him forever to get them all off.
