Fuel Pump Access Door in floor of 2007-2014 models
I finally got up the gumption to do the pre-emptive access panel. I'd like to give a big shout out to @89Suburban for his excellent pictures in this thread. I head out for a 10 day trip to Idaho Friday with 2 ATVs in tow, so I figured why not thwart one of Murphys possible plans. I have a...- B-train

2020 Rust problems (How to fix and what can be replaced)
As a midwest guy who has fought rust for YEARS, follow @RoadTrip advice. Then follow it up with a good coating of fluid film or wool wax. Check FB MARKETPLACE if you can't do it yourself for people who advertise it - well worth the money. I've done this for over 15 years now and have never... -

Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?
One way they meet ever stricter standards is to change the stoichiometric table the engine refers to for Lambda or AFR. I found my 2008 with a 6.2L has a slightly more generous table than the identical 2014 Denali with a 6.2L (granted its a flex fuel motor, so that may be a contibutor). It's...- B-train

99 yukon 5.7l no crank no start and electrical compontents making crazy noises
If you had clicking and flickering, you have low voltage. See what the battery is at with a volt meter as it sits. My guess is the battery is weak, lost voltage during repair, and didn't have a good jump start connection when attempted. 1. Check voltage. If below 12v, then battery is suspect 2...- B-train

99 yukon 5.7l no crank no start and electrical compontents making crazy noises
I replied to your other thread. 1. If you did intake gaskets, did you mark the distributor position with a marker before removal? And install at the same position? Why did you change the degree of firing order? 2. Have you checked battery voltage? Should be 12.3 - 12.6 static (engine off...- B-train

Oil weight for 5.3? 0-20 no good?
I agree with the above posts....however I choose to be proactive and use common sense and critical thinking based on life experiences. 10w-30 was the norm of the 80's, / early 90's. Then 5w-30 came out an everyone was leary (myself included).....I watched motors grenade after running 100k on...- B-train

L83 to l96 swap completed finally
Thank you for the info. I doubt I'll ever do what you did, but I LOVE the tenacity behind it. I had a 2015 HD with the 6.0L and absolutely loved that motor. It didn't care how it was used / abused. I worked that thing on a daily with 12 - 20k of weight and it rolled with the punches. I...- B-train

Yukon XL 2025 Vs Grand Wagoneer 2025?
Well, you shouldn't have anything to worry about as long as your maintenance program is good. I'm currently at 319,551 km (198,560 miles) on my 2008 6.2L and 277,359 km (172,343 miles) on my 2017 6.2L. Granted one is non-AFM and the other is non-DFM, but with good service they last. I plan on...- B-train

I wouldn't use 0w-20 even if GM hadn't of changed their mind. It's a gimmick for CAFE. Stick with 5w-30 and you'll probably be fine.- B-train

L86 to L8T in '19 Yukon XL Denali
Now that you're a couple months into driving it with the tuning done, what are your thoughts? Has MPG changed with tuning? What kind of driving, any road trips?- B-train

2020 Tahoe 6.2L Misfire and Flashing engine light and Traction Control Light on
Are you sure it wasn't P0306? That is a number 6 misfire (maybe you already knew that and that's the one you swapped?). Does it misfire all the time or only at certain speeds / rpm? If it's intermittent, have you tried using M9 to keep the AFM in V8 mode. If it's quiet in V8, but noisy when...- B-train

Engine oil cooler line removal question
I figured this out in 2003 when they changed the design. A senior tech at the dealership was cussing out the service writer about the BS design (he mainly did electrical issues). I walked over with a couple sockets, my impact, and dropped the front diff for him in front of the service writer...- B-train

285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
I have the terra grappler G2 on a set of wheels that rotates between my 2008 and 2017 Denalis. They are good tires IMO. I haven't kept track of the miles on them, but they wear well. Ride isn't as nice as other AT tires - a little stiffer, but the traction is on point.- B-train

L83 to l96 swap completed finally
This is an awesome post! Congratulations on taking a chance and it working out for you. What changes have you made / how'd you get the engine parameters to work going from DI back to port injection? Did you have any ECM / BCM issues if you used a different computer than stock? I have HP...- B-train
