    Mods for Gas Mileage

    I have an 06' Yukon Denali XL AWD. I have a set of 22's that I switch out in the winter for the stock aluminum wheels. Basically, if you live in an area where it doesn't snow, you can get tires with really low rolling resistance to help save some fuel. Also, I have a cold air intake which I try...

    Vent Caps and Taillights

    Thanks for the reply, I have the bug deflector for the ridiculous amounts of stones that are kicked up by other vehicles in my state. A lot of our roads in Pennsylvania are under construction. I don't have the kind of mirror caps typically seen, my Fiance' actually hooked me up with ones that...

    Vent Caps and Taillights

    Hey Guys, I've added custom touches throughout my whole Yukon XL Denali, I have a chrome bug deflector, chrome mirror caps, tint, and I plan on getting chrome door handles (just the handle part.) Anywho, the other day I looked at the back of my truck and realized that it looks like a...

    2006 Yukon XL Denali radio

    Hey there, I've talked about doing this upgrade with my local trusted Car Audio shop who have done many things to my truck with no problems. You can get a headunit from Kenwood with Navigation, Pandora, Ipod, and Bluetooth installed and your rear DVD player will still work. Think about it...

    Considering purchasing a 2007 Denali

    There is a 7 year rust/corrosion warranty. Right? Unlimited mileage? Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk

    thinking of selling, wondering what it's worth?

    All wheel drive is a 70/30 power split between the rear and front axles and it is full time. There's no 2 wheel drive switches. You are correct, the transfer case does not have a low gear, but the transmission does. I haven't done much off roading, but there's no other vehicle that makes me feel...

    Considering purchasing a 2007 Denali

    I have an 06' with 165k miles. My ride control compressor and my rear air shocks went at about 120k. That's still 120k miles on a pair of shocks. Anyway if it was driven right, and taken care of properly it should be fine. Shouldn't have any engine problems. I would say if anything a few sensors...

    Ideas to increase reverse light output

    Go to SUPERBRIGHTLEDS.COM. I bought DRL LED bulbs for my Yukon, pretty sure it's the same bulb and they're bright as hell. If not, they make those light bars that go underneath tailgates on pickups, they can also be installed on yukons and suburbans, they have ones that are just red, but they...

    Road trip in high milage Yukon?

    My 06' Denali XL's water pump started leaking at about 163k. I probably could've left it be, but I had it replaced. Belts are every 100k-ish. I'd look underneath and just make sure nothing is leaking before you go. Generally GM V-8's are iron clad. They just don't die as long as you take care of...

    Need new instrument cluster

    I used flat-topped blue leds from Superbrightleds.com with 470om resistors. The shipping costed more than the products put together lol. Honestly it was insane. I spend 2 hours trying to re-calibrate all of my needles off of memory. Finally got everything in working order now though. I would say...

    Steering wheel

    I've seen the aftermarket wheel that is modeled after the 04-06 wheel (With the grey wood grain that outlines the dash) But that was on an 02-03 Denali so I guess the controls were there beforehand, and it was plug and play with the new wheel. I would think you would at least be able to upgrade...

    Need new instrument cluster

    I just did the LED conversion on my 06' XL Denali and it's no easy task. I used ScottyBoy's how-to guide and it went pretty well. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to do it. It took a lot of patience, and about 6 hours of time. For your 03' though you are in luck, the bulbs are easy to...

    Instrument Cluster Bulbs

    I've got the bulbs, and I'm starting to solder the resistors on. Haven't taken the cluster apart just yet, but wish me luck!

    Instrument Cluster Bulbs

    So if I buy the blue ones you used and the resistors, will they be as bright or brighter than stock?
