    Denali Owners - Can you use smaller wheels?

    Hi guys, I got my wife a 2018 Yukon Denali, and it came with the polished 22in rims. They look good, but I'm hesitant to run the in the winter because of the tires. Have any of you dropped your wheel sizes for the winter (or whatever reason)? I was thinking of stepping down to 20s, or even...

    To 2018 Yukon owners, especially Denali

    First off, you guys are awesome, thanks for all the responses! I was reading reviews on Edmunds, and sites like that, but the problem was that they seemed to bounce around between a Denali, and an SLT. So I never could tell if they were comparing the trim levels, or other SUV's in the market...

    To 2018 Yukon owners, especially Denali

    Hi guys, My wife has a 2004 Tahoe, and we're looking to step up to a 2018 Yukon Denali. I've been doing some preliminary research, and it seems they're getting panned for subpar braking, weak engines, as well as having vague steering/handling. Those of you with an 2018 Yukons, especially...

    roof rack bolts

    When I took mine off to install the Esky rack, none of them were flush. It seemed like they helped locate the stock mounting points on the stock rack, but the Esky rack fits flush.

    SCORE!!!!!! New tires on the way!!

    That's awesome...killer price! But, as a caveat, my wife had these on her 04, and they wore insanely fast. I think we got 25k on them before they wouldn't pass inspection anymore. Pep Boys is great with tire warranties though!

    Is this a BCM failure?

    Turns out you were all right. I work at a school with an auto tech program, and asked the teacher if they could check/clean all the easily accessible grounds. (they've probably saved me over a grand on parts and labor fees this year on truck repairs!) They started at the back, and sure...

    Is this a BCM failure?

    Hi guys, So, a few weeks back, the battery in my 04 Tahoe died, and I had to jump it using my wife's Tahoe. (I typically never do that, but I was stuck) The next day, I took it in to have the rear brakes serviced. A day or 2 later, the issues below started. While driving, all gauges will...

    Escalade rear glass pics?

    Hi guys, Now the the weather is turning, I'm going to be installing my Escalade rear glass/3rd brake light soon. Does anyone have any pictures of the hatch open, showing how the wire goes from the glass, into the area where the original 3rd brake light used to be? Everything else looks like...

    What has been your best deal ???

    Mine is Dark Blue Metallic. 1 in a million shot, since Escalades don't come up for parts around me too often!

    What has been your best deal ???

    Not sure what planets aligned, but I found a guy parting an Escalade and got the roof rack, rear vent appliqués, rear glass with third brake light, and wiper cowl end cap (without the antenna hole) for $160. Not only that, the Escalade was the same year, and same color as my Tahoe. Just need a...

    Plastidipped Escalade rear vent appliques?

    Man, lots of dip hate! It boils down to the fact that I have a kid, and she trumps all car stuff. lol Plastidip is a 2 hour thing where really, i'm only doing my thing for 5 min at a time. Painting is sanding, sanding, priming, sanding, painting, clearing, sanding, polishing. It's a time...

    Plastidipped Escalade rear vent appliques?

    Hi guys, I finally got my hands on a set of Escalade rear vents (had to go clear across the country to get a deal), but I'm out of time this season to paint them. Does anyone have pics of their vents plastidipped black? I'm doing that as a temporary solution since I don't want this to be a...

    265/65/18 on 04 Tahoe?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to replace the wheels on my 04 4wd as the clear coat is shot and the factory 16s look like garbage. I found a set of these wheels http://www.getallparts.com/popup.aspx?src=/images/Product/large/27610.jpg with 265/65/18 tires, and was wondering if I'll run into any issues...

    Driver's door windows/mirror/locks not working

    It turned out that while I was taking the door panel off, there must have been enough pull that the plugs pulled away from lock motor and door light. Plus, moving 12 year old wires that hadn't moved since the build date didn't help matters either. I re-seated the plugs on the respective...

    Driver's door windows/mirror/locks not working

    Hi guys, Ran into a bit a setback on my 04, and I was hoping someone had some ideas. I've been upgrading the speakers in my truck, and yesterday I moved on to the front doors. I took the door panel off to install a component set, and before that, everything was working as it should. Did my...

    Replacing stock radio.

    I am in the midst of redoing the stereo in my 04 Tahoe (no Bose, no Onstar, no steering wheel control), and I had to buy a module so that it retained the door chimes and whatnot. It came with the wiring adapter so that I could connect it to the aftermarket deck. I attached the link...

    Erratic rear wiper?

    Hi guys, So, I had a bit of a set back with my "new" 04 Tahoe and ended up having to replace the better part of my braking system. (When the shop says "your brake lines are rusty", the appropriate response is "here are my keys back' call me when it's fixed." Lol) Ever since I've had it back...

    New from PA

    Hi Everyone, My name is Jim. I've been lurking for a while, since my wife has a 2004 Tahoe. I recently inherited her father's 2004 Tahoe, so I decided it was time to join! Its blue, 4x4, and if the Z in my VIN is to be believed, it has the 5.3. Other than that, I have no clue, as it came...
