14b 9.5" into K2XX
Right, you have a Salisbury 12-bolt which is supposedly stronger than the older 14-bolt. I do not know if they will drop right in. If I had your truck, I would drop in the Salisbury 12-bolt 9.76" gear, the one used behind the 6.2s. I think you already have 1415 u-joints too.- swathdiver

Axle ratio to tire size input needed
So what do you want to see, rpms at speed with a given tire and gear ratio? The 2500 Suburbans and Yukon XLs have 3.73s gears with the 6L90, for the purpose of this discussion it's the same thing, gearing is the same in the two transmissions. The NHT equipped GMT900 pickups with 6-speeds have...- swathdiver

What to buy for reliability
In this generation of vehicle, when GM redesigned the cooling system for the transmission they installed a thermostat on the side of the transmission to keep the temps up. Well, this limits their life to about 100K miles. All that heat causes the torque converter clutch lining material to fail...- swathdiver

Squeaking noise driving me crazy
Don't hear anything either. Hook up your phone or a go-pro under the truck and take a quick drive to capture the sound closer to the source without the wind noise.- swathdiver

Now at FIVE AC system failures in four weeks...
On the Yukon 900s we have to pull the bumper cover to get at the condenser. It only adds a few hours labor to the job when doing it at a shop.- swathdiver

Are all the gasoline engine issues just on the 6.2?
More horsepower and torque from the same design and architecture. The 5.3s last longer because they put out less power. Take a marine diesel engine for an example. At 1800 rpm for a 100% duty cycle it may last 12,000 hours but at 2400 rpms for a 100% duty cycle it might last 8000 hours. I'm...- swathdiver

2022 Yukon SLE 4X4 Tire Selection
You can go to LT265/70/18 and gain an inch in height. Go to a LT275-70-18 and you'll gain a little width and be just over 33 inches tall. Should work without rubbing with stock wheels as we've seen T1 wagons with factory 275-60-20s.- swathdiver

No indicator and limp mode
Hey Michael, did I tell you that I almost scored a Canadian module? Seller used the wrong part number so they refunded me.- swathdiver

Exhaust fumes and sound coming from intake
The 2008s injectors are smaller compared to your 2010 regardless if it's a FlexFuel engine or not. The 2008 has higher compression as it uses flat top pistons and a single pattern camshaft. If this was my rig, I'd swap the 2010s injectors overs, well, the whole intake and throttle body too...- swathdiver

Amp gauge
This is usually a sign that your battery is failing to maintain a charge and the alternator and computer are doing everything they can to keep you from getting stranded. How old is your battery? Has the truck been sitting and or making lots of short runs lately?- swathdiver

New to me
Great looking 'burb and love the fishing rig. Love that green color! We used to surf fish a lot when the kids were little and my health allowed it. My wife enjoys driving on the beach so once a year or so we spend a few days in Daytona Beach so she can get her fill of it. I like it too but...- swathdiver

wondering about tire noise
First of all, more tire wear in the center of the tread is indicative of low air pressure and or a mismatch between tire and wheel sizing. I have run 2 sets of KO2s in two different sizes on my trucks but not your size. They did get noisier as they aged and were so loud towards the end of...- swathdiver

No indicator and limp mode
I have an '09 and those codes don't appear in the shop manual for it. The U0100 does show up in the shop manual for my 2013. It says that the first code is probably the offending module that can no longer communicate on the network. When I pull up that list, U0013 is not on it. When we...- swathdiver

Welcome Barry from Florida! Did you modify any of the trucks in any way? Ever take them off-roading and such? How are the older ones holding up after 20 years and 300K miles?- swathdiver
