[tgui]

I did the Velcro behind locks mod. The inside is sooooo much quieter.

Finally got my wheels and tires. BBS 20s with Michelin Defender LTX MS all seasons. New TPMS and road force balanced. I know the wheels aren't flashy or have super brotastic bead lock hardware. I wanted simple and easy to clean.

I'll mount them Saturday after I get a coat of Klasse sealant on them.

Old.

New.

I've been stopping myself from big projects on the Yukon until after winter. I learned my lesson last year.

I got some interior bits. New ac controls, plug, and a new sun visor latch.

Killer choice on the tires.

They hurt my wallet but are worth it.

Good looking wheels and tires! I love the simple classy looking wheels that are easy to clean! Any plans for your Denali oem 20s?

I went mostly for easy to clean.

I'm getting rid of the OEM 20s for cheap. Gotta find someone to buy them now.

I'm a detailer so I know the feeling on wheels that are a massive pain to clean! Haha. I scored a set of oem gmt900 Denali 20s about a month ago for pretty cheap that are gonna go on my 2006 soon. I'm excited because I love the look. But I have a feeling they are gonna be a pain to clean each spoke and then keep clean haha.

Center console is broken.

Cripes. What the hell was the previous owner eating?!!!

New part.

 

[Goodinblack]

Ughhh Thats nasty

Steam clean that to get rid of bacteria that can cause foul smells

 

[adventurenali92]

Nice looking new part! I need cupholders like that! The cup holders in my 2006 Denali aren't quite as wide or deep. My tumblers don't quite fit. Lol.

Does this sound normal? I'm only familiar with my old 5.3. Sounds strange to me. Kinda clunk clunk clunk noise? I take brain meds for OCD so maybe its that.

 

[02Lightning]

I don't really hear anything, pull the belt off and listen again.

 

[Onebadsss]

Does your truck have DoD/VVT? If so I know a lot of guys on PT.net delete that crap ASAP because of all the valvetrain issues so maybe you're hearing the early signs of a problem in that area?

 

[02Lightning]

The 6.2 has VVT, I haven’t noticed anyone posting any problems with that. And they didn’t offer DoD for the 6.2, I have heard of lifter problems with that. What kind of problems happen with the VVT?

 

[tgui]

No DOD but yes VVT.

Added garage insulation, aww yeah.

Both tensioners and idler pulley had toasted bearings. Like bad noises when spinning by hand. The new parts are sooooo smooth.

New parts installed with the already new belts.

Errrrr thing sounds great now.

Btw, who the **** designed this intake!???

 

[02Lightning]

I'm sure it was designed to reduce sound.
