still cleans up nicely…
Great point. Come to think of it, I can recall waxing the roof exactly zero times in the past ~15 years. Now I know better!!- heftylefty58

…but the peeling paint on top. Holy crap. Is this happening to everyone’s white Yukon?- heftylefty58

Wife hates my new 2006 Yukon XL Denali
FWIW: if I were in the op’s situation, I would not attempt any more changes to the car, and just look for something more stable for the family, and less traumatizing for his wife. To me, this is more important than a nicer house. With that being said, I have a 2003 YD with ~105k miles, and have...- heftylefty58

How/where to install Battery Tender quick disconnect?
On my 2003 Yukon Denali, I was planning to hook up my "Battery Tender Ring Terminal Quick Disconnect Plug (081-0069-6)" to my battery, but the holes in the device's ring terminals were too small for our battery post terminal bolts. Has anyone installed one of these battery tender quick...- heftylefty58

Transmission Temp Gauge
I have a 2003 Yukon Denali, and the stepper motor for my battery gauge has died. I would like to do the repair myself. Based on the research I've done so far, I'm leaning towards replacing all 7 stepper motors while I have the instrument cluster out. Not sure if I'll bother with the bulbs...- heftylefty58

Change water pump?
Just went through this last month.... I went ahead & had both serpentine & a/c belts replaced, too. In hindsight, I probably should have had the radiator hoses replaced as well, but I didn't think of this until they finished the job. (I'm the 2nd owner of my 2003 Yukon, and it still has the...- heftylefty58

how to better clean an old K&N air filter?
The previous owner of my 2003 Yukon Denali had already installed a K&N air filter, so I bought K&N's 99-5050 cleaning kit when I bought the car. When following the directions for the kit, I will say that the Filter Cleaner does an excellent job getting rid of the old red K&N oil...- heftylefty58

anyone use a roof cargo box carrier on your SUV?
This summer, we plan to take the kids and the dog on our first long road trip. Because we won't be able to stack much of our crap on top of the dog, this means that pretty much half of our trunk cargo space will be unusable. Therefore, I'm trying to look into roof-top cargo box carriers for...- heftylefty58

Noise from Front Diff
Coincidentally, I also have an 03 YD, and I ended up getting the front fully rebuilt 3 months ago (@ ~63k mi).
