Filled it, with the good stuff and dumped a bottle of seafoam in the tank. Drove it to work, picking up my sister and her boy friend from the air port.

If you haven't done so yet since you've owned the truck, you should seafoam the intake, clean the throttle body as well as the MAF sensor! Your truck will love you for it!

My oil pressure stepper motor died a while back and i got a rebuilt cluster from digital-dash-solutions on ebay.

I went with the SS siverado white face with red needles. Every video i watched on how to remove the cluster said it took 20 minutes to remove. I was able to remove and reinstall it in about 15. It was very easy.

Night pictures came out like crap and this was the best one.

They also throw in the trans temp gauge and program it to work.

Looks good! Had them replace some burnt out cluster lights along with new stepper motors and an Esky platinum chrome trim rings bezel...he does good work and fast...

Found out that the seat heaters I bought for the drivers seat in our denali (that have never worked since I bought the truck in '07 ) are going to be showing up on Monday instead of the middle of January like originally thought! Might be having warm buns before Christmas this year, yeah buddy! lol

Washed the salt off yesterday and cleaned the interior. Installed rear weathertech mudflaps. They are rigid and molded, not the ugly soft rubber type. Really changes the aesthetics of the truck.
Now waiting for snow to melt so I can crawl under and check the charcoal can and hoses/solenoids.

I was looking at the one you got but from what i remember it was more expensive than the one i got. I just recently replaced the tires and brakes on my truck and with christmas a week away money was tight so i went cheap but i love the way it looks.

Cool and good for you, you will not get bored over the holidays.

Neither will I, installing new tranny cooler lines tomorrow to get rid of this nasty leak.
Will also put new speakers in the wife's BMW 525i and take the instrument cluster out of it to send it away for repair, as most of the pixels are out.

Always something going on. :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I did this last weekend and yesterday was my first time driving it... with the better fuel and Seafoam I "felt" like I noticed a difference.

Is there a right up or a video on how to Seafoam the intake... I cleaned the throttle body and MAF but I didn't see a easy way to Seafoam it so I just dumped it in the tank.

I videos I found are not helpful because the hose they were dumping Seafoam in... I either didn't have on my 6.0 or just couldn't find.

That's a key statement that best describes me........There is always something going on! A bored Chris is a bad Chris!! ahhaha

Good luck with your projects as well, a trans leak would drive me up the wall!

There is a video on youtube that shows you but can't remember where I found it! You have the denali, and unless someone prior upgraded to the hydroboost system, you should have a rubber hose coming out of the base of the master cylinder for the brake system that should run all the way to the back of the intake manifold and that's the hose you should use!

Did a full interior clean up....washed all rubber mats in the shower... Used a carpet brush to freshen up the carpet.

Popped the hood and did a wipe down w degreaser (still Afraid to hose it down) and it looks pretty clean under there.

Last but not least, used Meg's Rinse free wash and wax on the exterior.

Be sure to get the updated PCV valve that has the fixed orfice (no ball bearing inside) when you get one!

I replaced mine last weekend and couldn't believe how bad the old one was. The smell of burning oil stopped once I replace it too.

Passed emissions (no more long tubes) and finally got tags. I missed my heated seats. Time to clear bra the hood, tint the windshield, and sell it in a few months.
