    Largest 17" tires without a Life

    I have 275 60 R20 Goodyear Wranglers on 20" sierra rims. Stock suspension. There is light rubbing while backing up on a hard turn. I think the rubbing is mostly my mudflaps. I could take them off but I like the extra protection.

    Reliability; Denali XL RWD vs. Escalade ESV RWD

    I can say, here in WI, I haven't seen any trucks, let alone Yukons or Eskys for less than $10k that are worth anything and all of them are higher miles. Saw a '15 Esky for $17k with 135k miles. Still a hard pill to swallow. I would also agree with the "devil you know" theory. That is the main...

    Thoughts on purchasing a higher-mileage Duramax?

    After reading this, I'm a little hesitant. As a lot of people, I can't just buy anything, I have to scrimp and save for a long while. If I were to even be able to afford one of these, a 5 or 7k repair would devastate me. I've been looking at used trucks with the 3.0 since I have a buddy who just...

    2012 Suburban Misfire #5 drama

    I just skimmed over some of your post, just awesome. Thanks for the info. I will be referring to it several times I'm sure.

    I'm a pretty capable mechanic. What would you say your parts cost and how much time did you have into it? Also, did you get your computer reflashed? I bought a truck from a guy many years ago, and he did these and said he reflashed the computer to delete the AFM stuff after installing the parts.

    New to me project 13 Yukon XL Denali

    Looks like it did a nice job. I have a seat... someone... spilled coffee on and need to be cleaned.

    What machine/soap did you use to clean the carpet?

    SOLVED! Chinese Android radio Awesafe and able to keep rear entertainment screen

    I've been somewhat interested in this mostly for carplay and navigation features but seems like a crap shoot to get it to work unless you have electrical experience. Would be nice for a plug and play option.

    Burning oil

    I agree with the stock air filter, plenty good for everyday driving. One thing I didn't see is the AFM issues. If it were me, I would disable the AFM to try to prevent any issues down the line. Very easy to do. Amazon sells modules you can plug into the OBD port. I have a 2008 with 210k miles...

    Rear Side Window Flag Decal

    I have a 2008 Yukon XL. I saw a picture of a rear side window flag decal that looked cool. I searched Ebay and Amazon and can't find anything. I also looked here. Maybe I's searching for the wrong thing? Any ideas?

    2009 Yukon Replacement Headlight Housings

    What are those headlights in your thumbnail picture? I like those. I see a bunch of cheapies out there. Hate to waste money.

    6.2 or Diesel?

    I get your point but I'm probably more OK with a $3k tranny job than a $3k belt change. Either way, I do think it's a good engine.

    CB Radio Install - Yes some still find them useful

    I've been wanting to add a CB but couldn't figure out where to put that big thing. This looks like a good idea. What's the plan to route the antenna wire? Would you just have it in the jam of the door? Just thinking about this, I have a 12v outlet by the rear door. I could put the main unit...

    6.2 or Diesel?

    Even at 200k, it's a pretty big bill to change a belt. It would be one thing if the average guy could do it but to pull the tranny, it's out of reach for most guys.
