It’s not as bad as the pic, must have been a shadow. I’ll try to get one from the passenger side tomorrow. That’s her side anyway...

Busy afternoon!

Swapped the front upper and lower grille on my wife's Denali. She didn't like the circles.

And swapped the wood grain wheel with a heated ebony. It matches surprisingly well. There is enough black in the dash area to not seem out of place.

Happy wife!

I need to adjust the horn switch to close the gap on the left side of the air bag a little, but I didn't noticed that until I put everything back together and my tools away. Need to discharge the battery again...

Looks great! Is there a factory heated wheel option / switch? Or is it aftermarket? Just curious. They hadn’t thought of that yet when my NBS was new. [emoji16]

Well crap, after getting up here to Oregon I was checking everything over before heading back and this is new
Hopefully it will just stay that way and not splinter off

That's weird. Did you hit a huge dip, bottom out or a big ass bump? I don't think it'll spread.
looks like a small rock hit it right up in the corner, I didn't hear anything happen, just noticed it when I was looking everything over to make sure I didn't spring any leaks or anything, not an emergency just don't need it spreading all over then it will be a problem, there was already a star on the passenger side that was epoxied last year.

Fingers crossed for no leaks because I can't stand water leaks. I'm going to pull the cover down in a few days because its got foam insulation on it and see if its damp. If it is, I'm going to pull the filter door off, and drown it in RTV, then put it back on there. Given that you only really need to change cabin air filters once every year or two, I'd be okay with having to scrape some off if it means I don't have moldy carpet. Prob also going to pull the AC drain tube off in the engine bay and run a pipe cleaner thru it a little bit just to see what happens. Will report back.

Get hold of a Tech-2 and enable the Afterblow feature.

I like the grill. How difficult was the install?

2001 Yukon SLT
2012 Yukon Denali XL
2011 Yukon Denali RIP 5/20/18

Not too bad once you figure out the clips.

There are 6 bolts to remove, then 8 clips to undo.

Here is a video that helped a lot. I used a butter knife instead of a screw driver. It made it a lot easier to release the clips.

Well, I had planned to throw on the 2/3 drop today. But, living in an apartment complex I have to go over to a buddies house for any major undertakings. Got all the way over there and pulled the front wheels off before realizing in my haste to try to get an early start this morning before it got hot today I had left the new inner/outer tie rods sitting on my kitchen counter. By the time I could have run back home and back over it's way too hot now.

So what did I do to my Denali today? Nothing, not a damn thing except be thankful for it's cold A/C. LOL :Big Laugh:

That sounds fancy- what does it do?

Found via Google..

Many vehicles currently incorporate an afterblow function within the HVAC control module software. The afterblow feature, when enabled, employs the HVAC blower fan to dry the evaporator after vehicle shutdown, and this function will inhibit microbial growth. Technicians are to confirm that the customer concern is evaporator core odor and that the vehicle has the imbedded afterblow feature, as defined in the SI document for that specific vehicle model, model year and specific HVAC option. Refer to SI for enabling the afterblow function. Vehicles in areas prone to high humidity conditions may benefit from having the afterblow-enabled calibration installed prior to any customer comment.

When afterblow has been enabled by the scan tool the blower motor will operate at 68 percent blower speed for 2 minutes 30 seconds to 4 minutes after the engine has been in Key OFF for 30 minutes.

The following conditions must be met for the HVAC module to operate the afterblow:

• The outside air temperature must be at least 21°C (70°F).
• The A/C compressor must have operated during the latest key cycle.
• The engine must be turned off for at least 30 minutes.
• The system voltage must be at least 12 volts.

Interesting. I'll look into enabling that. I don't think it would run very often here though because its usually not above 70*F here hardly at all but I do think it would be helpful. Wouldn't it be shoving all the moist air into the cabin?

Kept hearing a horrible metal clanging and thump going over bumps and potholes. An inspection quickly revealed that I’d suffered stabilizer links failures on passenger and drivers side. Waited on RA to ship the parts and a little break in the heat from the Texas sun to complete the repair. Initially tightened everything in the air but afterwards placed her back on the ground to tighten and torque to specs. At one point on a recent road trip I’d thought I’d needed a break job due to the shakes when breaking at high speeds. Amazing how the stabilizer links took care of this issue, as noted during the test drive. I’ve been riding for a week now and I’ve rechecked the nuts/bolts to see if they’d backed off at all-nope. Wife is happy, I’m happier.
