Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

[randeez]

changed the oil...still leaks from the front cover ***
put the cover back on that goes under in the front to see if it would help with cooling, also pulled the heater loop out. took it out for about an hour ride, let the ac blast on auto/60*/recirc the entire time. seemed to hang around 190* would heat up with some pulls and then settle back under 200.

kinda got to a point where i was sick of messing with it but the oil leak in the front ate away at me. so i pulled the alternator and bracket. i didnt have another front cover gasket and i put a new one on every single time and its still leaked so not sure it would be any different this time. i didnt want to pull the balancer and drain the coolant to pull the manifold etc etc. so i just cleaned the whole side up real good and covered the whole side with a nice bead of black rtv lol. without fail i ran into town to grab some brake cleaner and hand cleaner and crap and without fail tpms light came on so i had to jack it up and plug a ****** tire on it

after last tune, the injector duty cycle came down even more, so i bumped the boost back up a little came down to like 85% which was kinda sus' double checked to make sure all the cylinders were firing and seemed right.... 5% of fuel on this thing at like 6800rpm is a lot of fuel so who knows.

At least the TPMS sensors are working?

Kc photography on the facebook got some shots in her natural habitat. Stolen some screen shots cause I'm cheap of course, don't mind the water marks

I think I need to strap the front down

Now that I think about it, I’m surprised you don’t run a smaller diameter wheel in the rear to put a meatier tire on that to handle all the horsetorques and whatnots

Were you running straps at all in those pics?

That ************ launches! No doubt a wheel puller when you get the straps sorted out.

Quick reminder of my fancy idea...

Edit: I'm not smart enough to make it look like a picture. If anyone can fix that, please do
