    Chrome nerf bars

    I'm considering adding a pair of chrome nerf bars to my Yukon XL and getting rid of the running boards. The boards seem to sit so close to the body that they aren't very helpful for getting in and out. I had the factory nerf bars on my 05 Avalanche (it was the same color) and I liked the look of...

    GM Engineer meeting....mid 1990s

    Engineer A: OK, guys, we need to come up with someplace to put the ABS control module on the new GMT800. Engineer B: I know, let's put it under the hood somewhere where it will be somewhat protected from the elements. Engineer C: You fool! Do you want to make it easy for the owner to service it...

    Rear sway bar

    Did all 2002 Yukon XLs come with a rear sway bar? I was doing some work on mine the other day and noticed that I had one. I had thought that it wasn't standard equipment. Was it or did it come with the trailering package (which I have) or some other upgrade? Mine is an SLE, so not top of the line.

    Steering column cover

    I got a new boot to replace the torn one on my shifter. I was going to try to slide it over the shift knob, but before I did that, I noticed that the large part of the boot that fits into the steering wheel column cover seems to be made of hard plastic vice soft, so rather than try to force it...

    Yukon XL cargo capacity

    OK, I have an odd question. In another thread I've been asking about wheels and tires and this question is related to that one. If I purchase 4 mounted 18 inch tires (normal size, like 265/65) will all four fit in the back of my Yukon XL with the 3rd row folded forward? I'm sure someone has done...

    Looking for center caps

    Hello. I've been looking for center caps for these wheels (random picture, not my wheels) with no luck. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had some lying around that they'd be interested in selling?

    Switching to Z71 rear suspension

    A few months ago, I purchased a 2002 Yukon XL with 198,000 miles and the Premium Smooth Ride suspension. I've been replacing things on it that are worn a little at a time. The rear suspension seems to wallow a bit to me. The rear shocks are Nivomats and I'm guessing that they are originals. I...

    2000-2002 Yukon/Tahoe UltraGauge MX

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone is using the UltraGauge MX in a 2000-2002 Yukon/Tahoe. I've been trying to figure out how to get the transmission temperature to work in it. I've downloaded the GM specific gauges and it has transmission temperature as part of the package, but when I put it on...

    Broken cargo cover

    The cargo cover in my Yukon XL will not retract automatically. Apparently, the spring mechanism isn't working on it. Has anyone been successful in repairing/rewinding one? Thanks.

    DRLs

    My DRLs were not working when I purchased my Yukon a couple of months ago. I went to change the bulbs and saw that both sockets were burnt. I ordered new sockets and installed them. The odd thing to me was that the wire on the new sockets was 16 gauge and the old DRL wire on the car was only 20...

    Power outlet panel

    What is the easiest way to get to the rear of the power outlet panel on the dash of a 2000-2002 Yukon? I'm installing an aftermarket head unit and I want to install the outlet for the USB and 3.5 MM inputs where the lighter is now. I've had a number of GM vehicles over the years, so I kind of...

    Shaky mirror

    On my new-to-me 2002 Yukon XL, my outside driver mirror shakes at highway speeds. I think both mirrors may be aftermarket as the mirror caps are a glossy black and the Yukon is blue. The RPO in the glove compartment is DK2, which according to what I've found online indicates MIRROR,OUTSIDE,RH &...

    Longer overhead console

    Has anyone ever put the longer overhead console in their Tahoe/Yukon? I can always use a couple more cubbies to stash things. I had one in my old 2000 Sierra. Does anyone know if the holes for it are there under the headliner? I don't want to just start cutting on things. Thanks.

    Factory amp and aftermarket sub

    My 2002 Yukon XL still has the stock AM/FM CD radio with remote cassette deck. I plan on upgrading the radio to a double DIN unit to get some modern features. I also plan on replacing the speakers. My question concerns using the stock amp with an aftermarket sub. If you've retained the factory...

    Dash lights

    I have a 2002 Yukon XL that I just bought. I have a question about the lights in the heater controls. Are there lights in the bottom row buttons (outside air, recirulating air, AC and rear defrost)? When my headlights are on, all of the dash iights work, but the 4 mentioned buttons don't light...

    High mileage Yukon

    Greetings. New member here. I live in the Northern Virginia area (Winchester). I'm collecting opinions before I make a purchase. I'm looking at a 2002 Yukon XL SLE that has 197,000 miles on it. I have the Carfax and the previous owner(s) were very good about maintenance with most work being...
