    Input on Denali Requested

    As long as it is in great condition (which a 2006 Denali should be). Sounds like a pretty good deal. I got my '04 Yukon XL Denali w/ 33k miles this summer for $17,500. So your is slighter higher mileage but newer. I would say low $20s (ie $20k-23k) is a good deal. Might be worth taking to...

    Power Steering Confusion?!

    If your car runs out of gas and dies, just leave the key in the ON position (not ACC) and the steering shouldn't lock. It will be hard to turn but shouldn't lock if you leave the key in the ON position. Try it in your driveway and see what happens- put the key in and turn it to ON without...

    Door speaker install brakets?

    I put in these from crutchfield: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SPS600/Alpine-SPS-600.html?tp=95 and they fit great! Most 6 3/4" speakers are made for both or come with adaptor kits.

    Alpine Overhead DVD pics

    Figured I would post a pic to show others what an Alpine overhead DVD looks like in a Yukon: Mounting isn't that bad- just need to mount your bracket to the beam that runs between the B-pillars and then cut some holes in the headliner and mount it. If anyone has any questions you can PM me...

    GPS power wiring pics

    Figured I would pass this along to other in case anyone is hard wiring their GPS. I used a Gibson USB direct wire cable connected to a switched power source and then ran the cable as shown: All you have to do is drill a hole, cut out the back end of the whole to allow space for the...

    Anyone have a stock in dash 6disc changer?

    I have a stock 6 disc slave changer that goes in the lower dash sitting around. Works perfect but didn't need it cause I installed an indash DVD. Will work for 03+ years. I'll let it go for $200- I think they cost like $500 from dealer and I knew a buddy that did an exchange program for a...

    Spark plugs and wires changed!!!

    Just got done finishing up my tune up. Replaced the spark plugs in my 2004 Yukon XL Denali with ACDelco 41-985 Iridium plugs (gap at 0.040) and MSD 8.5mm wires. Not that bad of a swap- the rear passenger side was a little tight but nothing a few extensions couldn't help. Even though I only...

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    I got mine off ebay for less than $100. Good deal if you can find them. Not sure if it's worth it if you have to pay dealer price.

    Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

    I have the full 3 volume set of factory manuals. I like having them as they have all the torque specs and help out with those hidden screw locations. Wiring diagrams are useful as well. Big thing to remember is that they are more a reference manual vice a how to repair manual. Also, you...

    New Subs wll come with questions

    I really like the DDX514. I ended up not keeping any of the factory options. At first I tried the Bose interface but didn't like the whining sound that I could not get out- I tried different grounding, ground loop isolators, etc. After that failure, I ordered new speakers and ran new speaker...

    uninstall Headliner / Dashboard

    On my 2004 Denali, you are not able to take off the headliner without some serious electrical work- at the driver's front pilar there is a group of wires that do not have a disconnect and you would either have to cut and splice back or pull all the wires off the headliner. I chose to just drop...

    New Subs wll come with questions

    I have the head unit you mentioned and it is a good deal. In fact, Crutchfield has it in the outlet for $369. As for the amp and speaker question- I would suggest a killer amp that crutchfield has on sale right now- Polk Audio PA1100.5 This is a 5 channel amp that will run your door...

    Getting screwed by Ebay seller and probably Ebay

    Why are we cleaning up the thread and deleting posts because of a few comments back to Nnaboy who made a stupid comment about backing out on auctions? If this thread needed to be cleaned up because it wasn't appropriate for this section, why didn't it get moved the the lounge or some other...

    A couple questions from my oil change yesterday

    No one can say that you are doing X damage by not changing these fluids within Y days, however, the fluids are there to keep your parts from being damaged. Therefore, you / previous owner have already done extra wear and tear by not changing any of the mentioned fluids within the last 187k...

    Is it a truck or is it a car?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the GMC Safari van used to have "GMC TRUCK" on the steering wheel? Does anyone know if any of the older body style Yukons or Tahoes have the same designation on the steering wheel? I know that isn't conclusive on whether it is a truck or SUV but I do find it...

    Help me decide - 65k or 120k Denali

    I just bought my 2004 Denali XL for $17,500 with 34,000 miles back in June 2009. And that was here is Southern California (Huntington Beach). There are way better deals out there.

    Tune Payback

    I appreciate everyone's support on how great the tune is and how the performance alone is worth it, however, does anyone have any data on SAVINGS from the tune- for example someone might have the following experience: "Before I got my tune I was getting 15.1 MPG and post tune I get 16.5 MPG...

    Tune Payback

    Does anyone have any guestimates or numbers on a potential payback timeline for the blackbear tune? Putting performance aside, how long would it take for the MPG increase to pay for the tune? I thought I had read someone that some are experiencing a 1-2 MPG increase. Assuming 15,000 miles /...

    Anyone running a kenwood ddx514?

    I've got the Kenwood ddx514- pretty good head unit. Not too impressed with the user interface but then again I am not impressed with most of the interfaces from the DVD players. Ipod interface works great with my iphone but again, interface not that great. I also bought the bluetooth add-on...

    is my TPMS bad

    If you haven't done it already, try and program the tire pressure sensors to the correct tire. Follow the manual on how to program them and then if one sensor fails to respond, you know its bad. If they all program fine, the people that installed your tires might have accidentally put...

    flip down monitor in 04 denali

    My 2004 Denali didn't have the DVD player. Don't know about factory DVDs but to keep the headliner sagging from my aftermarket LCD screen I riveted the mounted bracket directly to the rib of the roof than runs between the B pillars. This way, my LCD actually helps hold up the headliner in...

    Best method of changing transmission fluid

    odie- sure wish we had a good shop around here that charged those prices. Even if I bought the parts at a store myself I would spend at least $95 (16 qts synthetic x $5= $80 plus filter and gasket = $15). That only leaves $55 for labor, shop supplies, etc. How do yall do it?
