Transmission Cooler Lines very commonly leak at the factory crimp location. Seems a bad design. I'm about to replace mine for thus reason.

Let us know what brakes you go with.

Good to know. I'll price out new lines vs a custom trans cooler like before.

All OEM acdelco brake parts. Raybestos were ok on my old Yukon. This time around I just want stock like operation.

Look into Centric E-coated rotors and Powerstop evolution carbon fiber/ceramic hybrid pads. I swear by this combo and if it fits into your budget I'd highly recommend it!

Thanks for the idea. I already had all stock parts shipped. Im keeping as close to OEM as possible if I decide to sell in a few years. Other than cam, tune and trans work ;)

Drivers front done. All rotors and pads are toast. The best part of having another car and a garage is that I can take my sweet ass time.

Corrosion. Anyone know how to get stock wheels properly refinished?

Call your local dealerships. There are usually mobile wheel repair operations tooling around that service them all. Same as paintless dent repair services...just need to media blast the poop outta them and get new chrome plating

My personal opinion... Ditch the 20's and go with a set of OEM 22's off the newest Yukon's. Would look killer!

I second this idea, the factory rims on the NNBS Denali's ain't the prettiest wheels GM produced. I also like the 22" GM optional wheels from this era truck: CK375 is the model I believe
