    Transmission Issues?

    Had a crazy thing happen the other day on the way to work. Transmission didn't want to shift into 3rd gear. It felt like it came out of second and the just revved like it was in neutral. I let up on the accelerator and got on it again and it was in third. It did this three times and then fourth...

    When should I get rid of my 6.0?

    Forgot to mention. The body is rusted out underneath and getting bad by the rear wheel wells. I just converted up the rust with some rust stop and black paint and some black gorilla tape lol. Frame is very rusty. Tech said there is a hole rusted through in one spot a crack in another and bent in...

    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...

    Rusting Out

    My '04 XL Denali is rusting out and I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking about getting something different in the spring. Last time I had it in the shop they said the frame was starting to rust out. It has one spot rusted through and a crack in another and bent in another. Thanks MI winters and...

    2000-2006 Yukon Denali

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

    So... what type of gas mileage do each of the engines get?

    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.

    Hybrid Questions

    Just wondering what kind of mpg everybody is getting with their Hybrid Tahoe/Yukon. I've been thinking about going with something smaller for better mpgs but I also need three rows. I was thinking if I go with a the hybrid it would be a good compromise. I get 13.2 or so with my Yukon XL Denali...

    Those look sharp. I think you made the right choice.

    Tire question for people in the northern states

    I'm going to have to get new tires next fall and want to make sure I get ones that are decent in the snow. Right now on my XL Denali I'm running 275/55/20. I got a good deal on Falken Ziex a couple years ago and they were OK in the snow the first winters but this year they suck. What do you...

    How many miles do you have?

    Wow! I'm jealous of these low miles! I'm at almost 246,000 on my '04 Yukon XL Denali. I think I'm the third owner. I've had it two years now an have put on about 35,000. I love it! Just wish it had less miles and no rust, but being an eleven year old vehicle from Michigan, its a given.

    She's changed a lot since I got her!

    Well,with three kids and paying for a China adoption my funds are a little low. Also my Yukon has almost 246,000 miles on it. Hard to justify putting money into something that has that many miles. I'd like to lift it a little and put a tad bigger tire on.

    She's changed a lot since I got her!

    I agree! Much better! I have stuff I'd like to do to mine but can't justify it.

    How many of your remotes (unlock, lock, alarm) still work?

    Mine work on my 04 XL Denali but having to really mash the buttons. Is that because I need new batteries or a new case? I didn't know you could just buy the case. Where do you get one and how hard is it to replace? Just pop out the circuit board and put in the new case? Thanks

    NEXEN ROADIAN AT PRO RA8 or Continental CrossContact LX20

    Looking into getting new tires. I'm currently running 275/55/20 on my '04 Yukon XL Denali. Will 275/60/20's fit? Just curious if anyone runs these tires? They look good and seem to have good reviews. OR Does anyone run the Continental CrossContact LX20? Any experience in the snow? Did they...

    XL - Anyone Lift or Level?

    I have a 2004 Yukon XL Denali. Does anyone have any pics of an XL or Suburban that's been leveled or lifted slightly? Just curious what mine might look like. Thanks
