In my 2011 Yukon XL I had Magnaride air leveling shocks in the rear. Regular Magnarides up front. As for handling and ride I added a heavy sway bar in front and back. Those sway bars did not affect the straight line ride, only the handling around in turns and corners. You will be...
The only thing I modified on my 2011 Yukon Denali suspension was upgrade the front sway bar and add a rear heavy sway bar. The factory Magnarides are fantastic. I had them in my 2010 CTS V, my 2011 GMC Yukon XL, and now have them in my 2018 Z06. Best shock in the business. Longest life in...
For what it is worth, I noticed two broken front exhaust manifold bolts on the driver side of my 11 Yukon Denali. This is a common problem. I had no symptoms, just noticed them while changing oil and doing a visual inspection while under them. It is easy to inspect because I have a lift.
I...
The 5/30 synthetic is the best advice I have seen on these thoughts. I run it exclusively despite what the manual says. I live in Dallas and it gets hot.
I realize this is not the same, but I put 208,000 on my 2010 CTS V. It was stomped on regularly. 170 was the fastest I was able to go before I ran out of room. Nothing engine wise ever failed. No engine accessories ever failed. You have a long way to go.
Now this is a project. I suspect there will two or three fails down the road until someone gets it right. I had a 2011 Yukon with AWD. Put 208,000 miles on it and loved it. It was not intrusive at all. Never failed. Gave me piece of mind since it was the Wife's car.
Now I own a 2023...
By the way, tires are huge. Michelin Defenders and Bridgestone Duelers are all I ever run. You can sacrifice some ride and move up to 22" and reduce some erase action, but I don't think enough to make any difference.
This is who I used for mi two f150's and my 23 GMC Yukon Denali. It was easy to install, good instructions, and factory quality.

I suggest you TRADE and get air ride. Too many electronics, switches. If you decide to do it or let someone else do it, sell all your guns to Kamala. She will keep you alive. You will have dark thoughts.
Chalk this one up to the learning curve. You will not regret the air ride. Make damn...
As a now former owner of a 204,000 mile 2011 Yukon Denali XL All Wheel Drive with the factory 4 wheel MagneRides with the Auto adjust rear air, I am amazed that you want to change them out. That set up, coupled with an upgraded Helwig front sway bar and an added Helwig rear sway bar, is "bar"...
208,000 miles on 2011 Yukon Denali XL 6 speed auto. Still running well and shifting strong.
Buying a rebuilt 10r80 transmission from anyone is a shot in the dark. That includes GM. They should put a new one in it. I don't respect mine, but it hasn't exploded yet either. I also have the...
Update on my Rockwall dealer, I was well documented with the problem. He looked at his alignment versus the new alignment. Read the owners manual instructions. Wrote me a check for $500. Needed tires anyway. Still chapped. There is no excuse for that.
I would not mess with a cam change. That already has a big cam out of the factory. It starts climbing on about 2500 rpm in my 2011 Yukon Denali XL with 208,000 miles. It is even more radical on my 2023 Yukon Denali XL.
Plus it idles well.
It's also very important to have your steering wheel bearings repacked. They have a recall GY-742G2Z8996 on that truck for steering wheel bearings. Much more important than any carbon in the intake.
If you have carbon in the intake you have much more serious problems than that. Convert to...
I say replace the frame. Or go south and find one that is in much better shape. Life is too short to have a truck with a frame that looks like that.
What is on that truck worth saving except the wheels?
I have a 2023Yukon Denali XL. Took our first extended trip. 29 days. From Dallas over to South Carolina, then up to Chatham Massachusetts. Then Aurora, NY to see ugly pottery, then back with a short cut through Canada. We went through 6 states in one day, which is very easy to do up there...
I agree with M Stuart. I and The Queen have a 2011 Yukon Denali XL with 208,000 miles on her. No problem with transmission ever or with the cylinder killer ever. It runs as brand new, including max RPMs in passing situations.
About 98% of my mileage has been with 87. No knocks that I ever...
Well, I am the proud owner of Brembo brakes on the wife's 2023 Yukon Denali XL. I noticed my pad wear sensors are not showing in my screen. Rears are working fine. Anyone know if the pad wear sensors carry over to the Brembos?
I checked the Aux Power Outlet. No luck. The USB port is hot. Don't know about the Micro C. Thanks for the reply. I assumed the setup was the same as my 2018 Z06.
I have a 2023 Denali XL in. My frustration lately with newer cars is dead ports with ignition off. I cannot keep my earpiece charged up so I can use it when I get in.
So how can I make ports live? I think I will have a live port in the back, but that does me no good.
Or maybe wire a new...
I started in March to order a 2022 Denali XL. I was closed out and kicked to 2023. GM accepted my order about a month ago. Only problem with this Denali is there will be no supercruise or brembo brakes. Brembo's are available from GM parts houses...of course.
I order because I can never...
Interesting consequence. I have not experienced the heavier feel of an upgrade on a truck because I have never upgraded any of my suburbans or my current 2011 yukon xl. But your experience makes sense.
I now know that these days brake upgrades are really not needed unless encountering heavy...
