5 Best Mods.

[Yukon]

I am a new Yukon owner,but a long time GM fan. i just bought a '05 Yukon and would like to learn as much as i can about these trucks....

if you had to choose 5 of the best mods that are available (outside of wheels, ride height and stereo) what would they be? i've read about the quad or 6 headlight at once, and the vette servo... they sound legit... but what is this about some electric fans?? i looked and i've already got dual electric fans on my radiator.... elxplain this mod to me...

thanks..

05's and up come with the E-fans so that is one less mod for you to have to do, the vette servo firms up the shifts between 1st and 2nd gear.

I'm more for looks first so my list goes
1. wheels
2. lowering
3. debadging/removing roof rack
4. colormatching all chrome + blackout tails/clear corners
5. Shaving my tailgate and removing exhaust tip

Most others will say BB tune, CAI, Vette Servo, Lowering, Exhaust!

for me #1 is debadging and removing the side moulding, made a HUGE difference.
then probably colour matching the chrome
3rd would be LEd tail lights
4th is my projector headlights with HID's
and 5th is probably e-fans (which done right, lead to 6, which is a BB tune)

 

[Yukon]

when you say color match the chrome? do you mean, get rid of the chrome and make everything match the paint?

 

[T3rry]

^^yes

 

[blueflamed03]

Tune
debadge
HID
exhaust
change grill to billet

 

[Travieso]

Tint Front windows
Wheels
Exhaust
HID Lights
Clear parking lights
LED Lights ALL
Intake
debadge
Lowered

kinda like 06tahoe this is what i did when i first got my truck, the first few days i had i started modifying it as much as possible:
1) Limo Tint
2) Viper Alarm
3) Indash DVD with new speakers and 4 15s
4) Clear lights and HID's
5)debadged, demoldinged, painted the rear pillars to match and put on a rollpan
6)24s
7)LED Tails
8)lowered it
9)intake/programmer
and the list goes on..... but if it was my choice i would have done the rims first thing, but in your situation you can take the same route i did

 

[Tahoe03mm]

1. Intake
2. Exhaust
3. Front Window Tint
4. Wheels & tires
5. Debaged/remove molding
6. hid headlights w/ projectors
7. Led Tails
8. vette servo
9. Led front marker/turn

I still need to get a BB-tune, LT-headers, and a supercharger would be nice still want that 3-5 drop but working on performance for now

 

[Bromaguire]

I would say it depends on what type of mods you want to do. Power, Looks, Stereo, Etc.

I can't even remeber the first mod I did to my truck its like crack you just cant ever stop.

I agree with what other said about color matching. I did it on my Yukon Denali and it totally changed the car.

My favorite mods on my truck are
1) Supercharger, Corsa, and headers
2) Wheels
3) Painting all the chrome and black plastic white to match my car.
4) Suede interior
5) My built-in computer and stereo.



Heres a couple links to some pictures of my truck.

14 bolt is one of the best mods you can do. So my list is

1. 14 bolt
2. Exhaust
3. Intake
4. Tune
5. Tint

Headlight HI-4/6/8 mod so you can see at night was my first.
Bolting a trailer on the back was my second


Debadging always looks nice.

14 bolt what? Rear end?

 

[T3rry]

14 bolt what?

i would assume rear diff

 

[Bromaguire]

i would assume rear diff

Thats what I was thinking. Why is it a great mod? Because of the gear change? Because its heavier duty and can possibly help tow more?

 

[Yukon]

my truck didn't come with the towing package? what does it take to put one on? can i just go to the parts store and buy the custom fit reciever hitch and wiring harness? any tricks on this one? has anyone painted the engine cover and CAI tube to match the exterior? i was thinking about the AEM CAI and then painting the tube to match the white exterior... any ideas?

A 14 bolt is just a stronger rear end. Mostly found in 3/4 ton trucks. The 10 bolts that come in our trucks are weak and known for breaking.

 

[fatnlowtahoe504]

when you get the rear end do you have to change the hub or do they come in 6 lug as well as 8?

 

[Cartwright]

No you can find 6 lug 14 bolts. I got mine out of an OBS but Vmax's have them and other vehicles.

Hmm haven't heard much of the 10bolt being weak and breaking. What is it thats causing them to be weak? What are some common causes for their failure?
