2007 GMC Yukon XL 2500

[Nap73]

Flo-Pro Big Oval, Part#2505. The inlet of the muffler is offset from the factory. flo-Pro accommodates for this and is specifically built for our trucks. Also, I have a leveling kit and run 285/75/16's without an issue.

The Flo-Pro 2505 sounds great. What did you do for pipes? Considering that’s just the muffler.

What leveling kit are you running? Your using the stock rims ? How does it ride

I’d love to see a pic of your rig Man

I haven't installed my muffler yet, but will run it through my OEM piping and tail-pipe. I have Readylift Keys on stock rims, here is a pic of her.

Beautiful truck Brother.

The larger Tires look mean.

Going to call a muffler shop by me and price the FloPro installation.

First thing I went and did was tint the front windows.

Thank you, the tint looks great! California can have some cops with a ******* for tinted windows so I left mine alone. I'm eventually going to step down to 265/75/16 as I want a little more fender gap and don't want to lift the Yukon.

265/75 is very doable on the 2500. It looks good.

With no lift or leveling kit ?

That it is, lol. I have 285's on leveling keys Anything more than that looks too stuffed and will strike the inner fender wells.

You should be ok.... i think....?

That's more than my GM dealer quoted me for mine. A cursory glance tells me that almost every line contains at least $100 of profit over parts and labor. What about the transmission?

Exactly how would the loose parking brake be repaired for $120? If the shoes are bad or a cable needs replacing it could cost a lot more than $120 to do the repair. If a nuts needs turning, that's a tidy profit for 2 minutes worth of work.

As for the air filter, you can buy those off ebay or Amazon for less than half and have a high capacity filter that will last for 50k miles, the A3085C (original PN#).

Plugs and wires cost me $112 2 years ago so how many hours to replace #8, the rest are so easy, my daughters did them!

If your set on having someone else complete the work, now go to a GM dealer and get an estimate.

There are a bunch of guys on here that live in Jersey, maybe they would do the work or at least some of it? @Tonyrodz

Those prices are insanely high. I asked @Nap73 before if he wanted to use my guy, who is much more reasonable, but he never responded back.

Guys very high priced. He keeps saying how only AC Delco parts are used. None of those parts are costly. it’s the “labor” and “markup” on the parts that are creating the crazy prices.

When I see prices like that, it makes me glad that I can do most of that stuff myself. Most shops around where I’m at have rates of $100-$150/hr.

Holy shit those prices are ridiculous!! Where did you go? You're not far from me (New Egypt)

Exactly, I only use GM or ACDelco parts/fluids too and they're not that expensive. He just wants you only to make his next mortgage payment!

I taught my daughter how to change the master cylinder on our other vehicle and she was amazed that the going rate to replace it was over $300 and SHE did it herself in less than an hour.

Glad that Matt is here, didn't know this fellow 2500 owner is close by.

Check out Sabo Automotive in Hamilton. Good friends of mine, we actually worked at the same shop for a long time before I went on to a desk job, and they started their own shop.

And if you're interested in trying to do some of this yourself, we can walk you through most of it..... and I'm close enough to help in a pinch (though I barely have time to work on my own these days, still have spark plugs and diff fluids on my work bench waiting to go in )
