    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    On the previous page I had a post where eBay sent me the wrong color trim piece for my HUD retrofit. I ended up ordering one from the dealer and it finally came...after 2 weeks and an invalid tracking number from GMPartsDirect. It randomly showed up, so this was kind of a surprise! I'll edit...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Decided to side line the sway bars until I some sort of deal came up. Partly because another deal came up. Found a new 220a alternator for $120 plus shipping, so I figured that was a good enough deal to hold off of the sway bars (for now). Also, my replacement HUD trim piece came in from...

    Well, as a little change of plans. I noticed a little bit of a belt chirp when I start the Yukon while cold, which I'm sure is the alternator pulley and\or the tensioner. I looked it up and a new pulley was ~$60 plus shipping...I didn't search very hard, there might be cheaper options out...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I'm a little salty about being lead on and on for 3 months, lol. There is something like a $3-400 price increase between the Hotchkis and Hellwigs...I don't know if I am THAT salty. Part of me wants to just side line the sway bars and upgrade the alternator, or something else.

    Obviously there is the added benefit of actually being able to get them at all, but (In your opinion) are the Hellwigs worth such a large increase in price?

    Well, it's been nearly 3 months on the sway bars, so I messaged CSPRacing again and this time they came back with another 2 month extension saying that it won't ship until February. I cancelled the order. It's already been way to long, when it said the bars were in stock at the time of...

    I just had to cancel my Hotchkiss order because they keep extended their time frames. First is was 3 months, now it's 5 months. Where are you finding Hellwig bars? Worth the price difference to go up to the Hellwigs?

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Honestly it'd be hard to guesstimate how long it took, because it was a learning experience for my son. Even with all the "See, this is how this works, and this is how that works" talks, it took us about 8 or 9 hours spread across 2 days. If it were just me, since I've already done it a few...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Hard to say, I have no idea what this would cost to be professionally done. I paid $35 for the media blaster, $28 for the Walnut shells, and $7 for a bunch of rags at Harbor Freight. The vacuum adapter I put together and 3D printed made the job a LOT less messy and easier. Without it, I'd be...

    Another project down. My son and I walnut blasted the intake valves. I had never done this before, but it was fun. Picked up a 50 pound media blaster, 25 pounds of walnut shells, towels, picks, and redesigned\3D printed a vacuum adapter for the L83's intake ports to minimize mess: Here's how...

    I found out yesterday that the eBay seller and I have different definitions of silver.... Got a refund, and ordered the proper part from a dealer.

    Heads Up Display is installed! Everything went smoothly, a little trimming on the defrost cover, but nothing major. The doubled vision from the improper windshield is highly annoying, but that will be replaced at some point. Also, the eBay seller sent the wrong color dash vent. They sent a...

    Originally I was running a 91 Octane tune. When I began chasing this noise, I started out by dropping it back to an 87 Octane tune. The tank is still full of 91.

    Changed the oil after 3,253 miles, drained the catchcan (1.8 ounces after 2915 miles), got some goodies in the mail. HUD install hopefully will happen this Sunday. Catchcan catchings: Used a Fram Ultra Synthetic FE10575 instead of the Mobil 1 M1-212A, the Fram is HUGE comapred to the Mobil 1...

    2019 Yukon Build

    Noticed a little clattering sound from the engine when it's under load\going up hill. Basically when the intake starts growling the noise happens, just to make it easier to listen to. I ran some Seafoam through the crankcase for about 30 miles, then changed the oil last night. There was no...

    Installed a ported 6.2L intake and 6.2L TB, with my son. Everything went smooth...I swear this kid is a good luck charm. It's like the 4th straight project that has gone off without a hitch. This boy needs to experience frustration at some point. pics!

    My son and I installed the intake today. We were not the first people in there, the harness was already disconnected from the back of the plenum cover, and the foam is not placed under the plenum cover correctly. The install went very smooth, and the Yukon adapted to the larger TB and intake...

    My son and I went for a bit of a road trip to buy a GPI ported 6.2L intake and TB today, just over 400 miles round trip. Turns out the guy works at GPI, and was telling me about their ported heads, tuning, etc. I might go their route whenever I end up swapping the cam, I'll need to look into...

    I saw the 4 smaller gauges, but I like the technology theme better...or it could be that I don't want it to look like the stock cluster at all, haha. AFM delete (as opposed to disable, like I have now) will be in the future, for sure. It'll most likely be next summer...and knowing me it'll be...

    Still waiting on the sway bars. I did get a Volant CAI...multiple times. I originally ordered one from Amazon, and they sent the wrong (oiled) filter as well as an obsolete version of the intake. The fender cross brace wouldn't fit. I returned that one and had to buy it from a different...

    Difference in brake Calipers

    I did the 2021+ tahoe brake upgrade, 4 pistons, slightly larger rotors, and FANTASTIC performance. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/silverado-4-piston-caliper-upgrade-done.144050/

    Sorry for the late update. 2019+ Silverado front brakes (2021+ Tahoe\Yukon) install was a success! Didn't snap any pictures of the install unfortunately, but I did one side and my son did the other. We changed out the calipers, rotors, pads, went to stainless steel lines, and bled them. We...

    Looking forward to reading through them! I was referring to a section specifically for build threads. It appears they are all in the General Discussion sub forums.
