    When should I get rid of my 6.0?

    So, I have a 2004 Yukon XL Denali with a 6.0, of course. I bought it almost 4 years ago with just over 210,000 miles. It now has almost 277,000. It runs well, but I've put some money into it along the way. Took care of most the leaks, but it burns oil. I get a big puff of white/blue smoke when I...

    2000-2006 Yukon Denali

    Love the AWD in my '04 XL Denali, but tires make all the difference in the snow.

    My XL Denali with the 6.0 says I get 14.0 avg on the dash computer.

    Can I do this to my XL Denali?

    Thanks for the reply. If I am they're not working. I get the service ride control error every start up.

    Can I do this to my XL Denali?

    Haha... Thanks Yeah, I have no idea about mechanical stuff really. Thanks to my dad for that one. If he couldn't fix something by smacking it with a hammer then forget it. LOL

    Can I do this to my XL Denali?

    Does anyone know if the Blistein 5100 Ride Height Adjustable shocks would fit my '04 XL Denali?

    Can I do this to my XL Denali?

    Is that all I need? What part number do I need for the Blisteins?

    Can I do this to my XL Denali?

    I want a little lift but not enough to hurt my '04 Denali. Can I do the 5100 Blistein shocks with Z71 springs and new keys? Does anyone happen to have any pics of this or similar? Also, what would be the price on something like this? Thanks

    Tire sizes and wheels

    I'm running 275/55/20's on aftermarket 20" GMC wheels on my '04 Yukon XL Denali. I need new tires before winter and I'm thinking of trying 275/60/20. I've heard they will fit. I want to get a little higher without messing with the suspension.
