Is that listing for the oil pan skid plate?
Also, do they come with one stock? I can't remember if my Denali has one or not. I know my 01 SLT has one.

Does this weekend count instead of just today? I hope so, replaced my drivers seat foam, 100,000 miles of officer butt sliding in and out took its toll. Will replace seat cover soon, need to recoup funds.
Installed new rear rotors, pads, shocks, waiting on 2” lowering springs, my fault, changed the oil & filter, changed out the coolant with fresh Dexcool. Shampooed the interior, plugged up four 15mm holes from something that was bolted to the rear most floorboard by the back panel. Finished the install of the second power outlet on the center console.
Still have a hundred other small things I want to do, but happy with the progress I have made with my 14 year old son helping out.

I think they only came on the z71, I think my 00 yukon xl had one stock though
Every day you do anything to it counts and you’ve done a lot lately. Good job.
Edit: we do have this rule about pictures though...

So there's one for front skid plate, then the oil pan, then the tcase. Anything else?
My 4wd non z71 only had the plastic one on the front.
that's all I know of

Got the transmission tune going in the right direction. Times and pressures back to stock tables, right now at WOT I have it shifting at 5,800. Going to try and get it to shift right at 6,000 tomorrow. Will have a video for ya'll.

GM only put metal skid plates on the Z-71 off-road package, at least on the pick-ups. Had them on my ‘04 & ‘05 Silverado Z71’s but just the plastic on my ‘07 Silverado 4x4.

Well, Yesterday I pulled my tune out, went and looked at a Esky 2012 with 46k Esv... Drove good, they tried to take my head off on my burb but I got them up to something that was almost bareable, But the esky was well priced for sure..... Still undecided... the 6.2 and miles are the main things going for it... I'm rolling 450 miles a week on my burb, 123k so its adding up fast.... Just don't know if I will be happy with a fully loaded Esky platinum vs my LT burb, and having a car payment again.... Beating my head against A wall I guess...........On the way to work the burb pulled 21 mpg.... Its career best ever trip to work... She sure isnt making the decision easy.
A 2012 Escalade with 46K and 6.2 sounds very enticing. That being said, I would keep the LT Suburban and the lack of payment. At 123K, it’s just getting broken in. Out what you’d put towards a payment away and after a while you can step up a few more model years or have enough not to have a payment on the next one.

Almost exactly what I was going to post except the money you put away I’d save for maintenance items your Burb may need as you drive 450 miles a week. They’ll run forever if you just keep it maintained. For what it’s worth, mine has 217k and is running like a top.
I went through the same, sorta.... i wanted a long body and a 6.2 so i was gonna dump the 13 tahoe for a long esky but since the hoe was paid off and finding something with close to or less mileage (65k at the time) that wasn’t beat up or a livery tool that idled all day was hard and everything i did find was crazy money. Having a pymt on a older model vehicle kinda didn’t jive with me. If im going to have a note its gonna be for a new vehicle. So I bought a 19 yuk xl Denali, kept the 13 hoe and everyone was happy ( me

My only mod this week was using vise grips to hold my rear passenger window up after a regulator failure 
Hmmm, new mod I must’ve missed... will have to try soon...ive done the vise grips under motorcycle trailer for a 3000 mile road trip then 2 years until i went under to fix something and found them mod...My only mod this week was using vise grips to hold my rear passenger window up after a regulator failure

At least those regulators are an easy fix compared to older vehicles. So once you do fix it the job shouldn't be too bad to undertake.

Especially if it’s someone else’s and you don’t have to get it running in time to go to work Monday morning.

This guy is sitting on a 30 hp boost theoretically..... Impressive....If the vise grips are RED, I hear you get at least a 10hp boost.
Anyone want to guess on the make of this picture? The problem is circled......haha
