The Family Truckster (my mod/build thread - 2012 Yukon Denali)

[FamilyTruckster]

Bah! I figured as much, was trying to decipher it, but gave up.... so you think that'll look okay then eh?
Obviously no one makes one that says 'Magnacharged L94" I'd really love to have it say "6.2 L" if anything... all the ones I found for vettes come in a two piece emblem one "supercharged" and another "6.2L", meh, who cares, over thinking it... I'm sure this one will be just right

No extra emblems or stickers= Clean and a sleeper............

Just got an email...... SHIPMENT NOTIFICATION!!!
Package includes all the misc. parts that are needed to get the install under way and completed...

- IAT Wiring Pass-Through Grommet
- Tuner with Base Magnuson Tune Pre-Loaded
- Intercooler/Heat Exchanger kit (complete) - Pump, harness, hoses, brackets, reservoir etc.
- Heat Exchanger
- Baseline Drive Pulley (5-6 lbs.)
- Under-hood belt routing & vacuum diagram sticker/decal
- "magnacharger" oval decal for intake tube (they hooked me up for free! bad doods!)

I replaced the front drive bearings, changed all the seals & did a spill and fill on the blower, so by SuperChargersOnline's standards I believe that constitutes as "re-built" status. Also replaced a lot of worn and ugly bolts etc (i've been bored and waiting anxiously!), and blasted + painted brackets, fuel rail, rail crossover, bypass bracket etc etc... picked up some distilled water, coolant and nice new 5/8's & 3/8's hose & loom/sheath for the PCV and brake booster etc...

What's left that I need to get...
- a bit of 11/32's hose for the ports
- some vacuum line for the boost gauge
- exchange the dayco belt i bought for a continental elite or one of those ugly ass green back fleet gates belts (yuck)
- a bottle of water wetter

all before the shipment comes in... which is stated as 01/11/2016, which is a HUGE bummer since 1 - i'm off duty this Saturday AND 2 - Saturday will be the LAST day in the 40's here in Michigan for a long time (will be in the 20's or lower for the next couple months).... UGH!!!

Side Note: If any of you out there in TVS1900 land are looking to replace or upgrade your front drive pulley bolts they are M6 x 1.00 12 mm UHL or ARP Part Number - 660-1016 (for hex head in black), they are also available in 12 point and in stainless as well (can't seem to find where I placed the part number for the stainless). They come in a pack of 5 for around $10 - $15.

The stars aligned and everything fell into place and not a minute too soon either, big ole snow storm this morning a couple hours after I finished the install! Write up to come soon when I have more time, for now, some teaser photos...

Looks like a good build so far. Keep it up.
