    Bi-LED Headlight Retrofit

    Nice work! I made the mistake of doing my bixenon retrofit on my 07 Suburban years ago with a fresh set of OEM headlights; didn't know about the Perma seal! What a pain that was, and I had to go back later and run a fat bead of clear silicone over the outside to make them watertight. Oh well. If...

    Weak front air flow problem

    Alright, digging up my own old thread because I forgot all about it until it started to get warm this year and I thought once again "it sure feels like there's not much air coming out of these vents", haha. I did wind up getting a Tech2 - is anyone familiar with the process for diagnosing the...

    Whipple 2.3L Supercharger Installation on 2007 Yukon XL Denali (6.2L L92 Motor)

    Ouch, hope the foot heals fast! I keep thinking about supercharging my '07 2500 (when and if funds allow) but I'm held back by two things: one, the body is starting to rust in a few places and I don't know if it's worth dumping $8k into it... and two, that $8k could go partway towards a Duramax...

    Whipple 2.3L Supercharger Installation on 2007 Yukon XL Denali (6.2L L92 Motor)

    In for a description of what it feels like to drive now and maybe some dyno results! What cam did you go with, and do you tow with it?

    2013 Suburban About To Follow Me Home

    Nice truck! Looks like those are probably 285/70R17s (33s) on the H2 wheels, so you've got a mild lift too. At minimum cranked front torsion keys but it looks similar to mine that I've lifted about 2" front and rear and still had to do some trimming and front fender liner reshaping to not rub.

    In the market 3/4 Ton 2500, preferred transmission?

    Get an 08+. I bought my '07 2500 in 2020 without realizing that it was the last year of the 4L80e and I've regretted it since, but only because I should have held out for a 6L90e. I've got the 4.10 diffs, which is good for the 4 speed, but 1st gear is still painfully tall on this rig. I don't...

    Weak front air flow problem

    I haven’t gotten a tech2 yet but after running for a few days without one I’m not sure it’s worth the lack of dust. Airflow is tolerable without it.

    It might be time for me to get one myself!

    Weak front air flow problem

    Thanks, it could very well just be that. I've had it for two years now and didn't think much about it last summer, so I guess it's not terrible. We just found ourselves wishing for more air when feeling hot/carsick/etc.

    Weak front air flow problem

    Oh, and I also removed the cabin air filter I'd added a couple of years ago to see if that made a difference - and there's certainly more air with no filter, but it's not a huge difference. I'm just looking for the usual "blast me in the face" mode most cars have!

    Weak front air flow problem

    Hi all, Trying to figure out a problem with front HVAC before it gets too hot during the summer! My '07 Suburban has the auto climate control setup and when I set the fan to full blast there's only a modest amount of air coming from the upper vents. A/C itself works fine and the air gets cold...

    Towing 10k with 2500 Suburban

    Also, I don’t think you’ll even be close to 10k lbs on one of the Black Series trailers. They’ve got really high GVWR ratings because they’re well built, but at a dry weight of under 6k lbs on the HQ17 you’ll be hard pressed to be pulling more than 8-8.5k lbs unless you start filling drawers...

    Towing 10k with 2500 Suburban

    I’ve got an 07 Suburban 2500, and I think you’d be well served by a ‘13. The best place for info on the 2500 models is actually a Facebook group dedicated to them, at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1733635880235636/ . I’ve got a Facebook account just for that group! So yeah, IMO a small lift...

    Trouble filling up the gas tank

    Yeah, it'd be nice if it was just a gauge thing but I doubt it. The 900 platform seems to have a lot fewer of those issues from what I've read, and it was really odd that fuel came spilling out before the pump shut off! I think I'll have to go pull the evap lines off and see how much charcoal...
