Not quite as technical as I thought it might be but interesting nonetheless.

Back on the forum after many years and yet another location/vehicle change. Living in the Denver area and driving a black 07 LTZ. 254k on the clock as of this evening.
Have been wanting to cover up some cancer on the fenders and have been on the fence between trying to make a set of Z71 flares work, or going aftermarket. Pulled the trigger on a set of $100 eBay flares that ended up just being a repackaged Putco set. Threw 'em on anyway and they look halfway decent:
Next up will be replacing the recently cracked (due to age) bug deflector, lost rear window deflectors, and blown front passenger door speaker.

Can’t
So I spent a whole lot more time on the Yukon yesterday than I planned, with little to show for it in the end.
A while back I installed some leveling spacers under my front struts to raise my ride height up front for better ground clearance for some of the off road tracks we frequent. When I was done with the initial change, I still had about 1/2” rake.
I decided I would buy some thicker spacers and level it out completely. I thought I had the math right for what I needed in the new spacers, but after I got them installed, lowered it back down and drove around for a little bit, it seemed higher in front than back. I measured it and it was 1/2" higher up front. Cripes!
The only positive thing was there was a lot less wrestling getting the thinner spacers back in the second time, but it certainly was more work out than I had planned.
I guess the good news is I saved myself the cost of another alignment... Man, I am really sore today.

I know the spacers didn't stay on long but, where are the pictures, tyf members love pictures. Lol
I know, my bad. I hate to fish my phone out of my pocket with greasy hands. Maybe I will take a picture of it the way it sits now and see if anybody can tell it is 1/2" lower on the front.

Filled it up with E85 at $2.19/gal.
Been about 2 weeks since last fillup, which was E85 at the same price.
Beats the cheapest 93 octane price around of $3.19/gal

I've had my Denali for about six weeks and found out about four weeks ago that the rear windshield washer hose was chewed and cracked where it curls around the wiper arm pivot. GM, in its quest for profits, does not stock the hose but will sell me an entire rear wiper arm with hose for $45.00+/-. Dorman has one for $35.00+/-. To replace $1.00 worth of hose!
So I went out and cut the hose at a non-chewed spot and measured the ID and OD of the OEM hose (3mm and 5mm respectively) and started searching. I found plenty of 50 ft reels at $10 less than the cost of a new wiper arm, but couldn't find anyone selling a short piece. I thought I had found a place that would sell me a piece for about $8 but when I went to check out they wanted $45.00 for shipping! And they were not in Antarctica! I looked at O'Reilly's website sort of as a last resort (I have about $20 left on a gift card from them) and they had it for $0.49 per foot! Score!
So today I'll pull the old hose, replace it, and be able to see out the back window when it gets dirty.

Wish E85 was more consistently available in my area. i'd have to make a special trip to get it (and sometimes i do).

Jersey doesn't have it at all.
Nowhere? Seems odd.

Probably part of that can’t trust you to pump your own gas thing they have.

I was actually looking for more details when i found that.
not super in depth, but he does mention that he uses the tech2 type stuff to download a factory 6.2 tune.
good overall high level explain, and it led me down a new path of getting this thing running nicely with hopefully as little effort as possible.

never seen e85 around here, but i'm sure someone has it.
I do have race fuel down the street from me (110 octane iirc).
They also have pure gas, i use that in my boat, yard equipment, and RC car.

Yup. Even of the stations that have it, most is poor quality: according to @BBP. We have it at all these new-built “*** & Go” station, but I was informed the quality is not good. So I drive about 25 miles round trip to fill up at an “Alta”, who sell Conoco.(but the E85 is not a Conoco product), so I’m unsure where they buy their E85, but it’s better than the *** & Go stuff.
