Escalade roof rack side bars compatible with Z71 rack?
I'm keeping the Z71 rack...I'm just wondering if the Escalade side bars would fit or could be easily modified to fit the Z71 rack. Stainless side bars in place of black side bars. I love the Z71 rack...that roller in the back make it's super easy loading kayaks or lumber on the rack! -
Escalade roof rack side bars compatible with Z71 rack?
I'm looking for a Sub LTZ roof rack with the stainless side bars...very hard to find. So that got me to wondering if the stainless Escalade side bars are the same as the LTZ ones? Looking at diagrams, there seems to be 'tabs' at both ends of the Escalade bars where it mounts to the roof. Are... -
04 suburban headers
You're gonna basically have to get new exhaust custom made if putting long tubes in. I had LT's on my previous 04 Yukon and ordered some generic cats from eBay. Then just let the exhaust shop work their magic. They reused as much of the factory exhaust pipe as possible. Depending on your...- J Mac

Anyone find a way to engage A/C compressor when below 40 outside?
Yeah I don't know enough about the A/C system and definitely don't want to screw it up. This is the 2nd 04 Yukon I've had and they both perform the same. All other vehicles I've had and the 3 others we have now, none GM's, all have the ability to run the a/c with the defrost. In fact, the A/C... -
Anyone find a way to engage A/C compressor when below 40 outside?
If there is one thing that bugs me about my Yukon it's this! Last night had 7 of us in the Yukon while it was snowing. Defrost was on high but all the windows were fogging up. Outside temp showed 35 so of course the compressor won't kick in to help dry the air inside. Had to crack the... -
2003 GMC Denali 6.0L ext. cab 4wd Quadro Steer reliability?
Quadrasteer is awesome! The Quadrasteer sensor is known to go bad and up until a few months ago...nearly impossible to find a replacement. But there is a guy on one of the Quadrasteer forums on FB that has recreated it and sells them. Mine seems to act up when it's really cold outside. And...- J Mac

Z71 roof rack on a GMC yukon xl lights ...
I used some Blazer driving lights from Autozone. I did have to epoxy them into the end caps so they are permanent. Light output is great. -
Last week i was driving up a steep hill, then truck stalls out. Since then truck cranks but no start
Get it running yet? If it was low on fuel when going up steep hill...try hitting bottom of fuel tank with a rubber mallet. Old school fix. Could have picked up some sediment in fuel pump. My brother pushed his luck with the fuel gage on the interstate and ran out of gas. Took him 5 gallons...- J Mac

Faded Denali Wheel Center Caps
It's the clearcoat that looks bad. Pick up some Aircraft Paint Remover from the auto parts store and use it to strip the clear coat off. Not sure what's different about that paint remover...it's what was recommended to me. Afterwards just polish them up with some good aluminum polish. I did... -
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Be sure to do a small test spot. I used that on our camper and it removed the old adhesive...and the paint. Totally different paint than on our trucks but would suck to fubar the paint. If nothing else, light wet sanding with high grit followed with polishing with a buffer will take care of it.- J Mac

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Yeah I love the look of those lights but it is a flawed design. The reflectors should arc behind each bulb...not one big arc behind both the turn signal and tail/turn light. I bet I went through about 5 pairs of different LED's bulbs until I landed on those.- J Mac

Chasing a P0300
I had the dreaded P0300 on my 04 Denali. Took it to 3 shops and since it was random, they couldn't figure it out. Dealership recommended a new engine...it actually says that on the ticket! Ended up being coil packs. Once I looked at those as a possible issue...I noticed the truck had 3...- J Mac

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I had those on my Denali and went through a ton of LED bulbs until I found some on eBay that filled the lens pretty good with light. Those funnel like reflectors seem to help pretty good. Thought this might save you some time...- J Mac

Factory Grille Modification
That looks great man! Matching the wheel color sounds like it would look good. Awesome work! -
Looking for advice on best way to install a double din radio
I'm not sure on the bezel...but like others stated a double din that plays CD/DVD will require trimming inside the dash. Most of the digital media receivers (no CD/DVD slot) are not as deep so may not require any trimming. It's the bottom of the double din units that is too deep and hit part...
