    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    I’ll admit though the samurai doesn’t need anything mechanically immediate yet and it just trucks right along. Gonna work harder than it has probably in its whole life haha. Gonna drive it the next couple days to and from the ski resort since I’m not detailing and don’t need the Denali...

    2,500 Mile Mountain Trip

    Absolutely gorgeous! These big long wheel base rigs were made for road tripping! I love taking my old one on long trips. I go back and forth between Southern California and Utah a couple times a year now. Such beautiful country. I’d love to get out to Montana Wyoming and Idaho.

    So last week after battling the oil cooler lines and deciding I was done messing with it, I made the appointment for last Friday to drop it to the mechanic next door to my gym. Good guy and is reasonably fair with labor prices and he’ll put me into the first available opening he has when I need...

    gmpartsdirect.com: cancel order and chargeback or wait for order to be completed?

    Have you checked out rockauto.com? I’d imagine they would have these parts in stock for you. They’re very reputable and shipping is always pretty efficient. Prices are decent and they’re a supporting forum vendor here so there’s usually a thread with updated discount codes. It’s not usually big...

    Oil Cooler Blocking Plate

    I just had my oil cooler lines replaced on my 2006 LQ4 6.0. I brought the new lines in($143ish in parts price from autozone) since I already picked them up. shop charged me $365 in labor as the lines would not come out without dropping the front diff to give clearance for the plate at the bottom...

    So I made a small life change this passed weekend. My friend Lisa has owned a 1988 Suzuki samurai for the past 12 years. It’s always been her back up/fun non daily driver vehicle. She’s loaned it to me many times over the years and it’s such a fun little ride to whip around in. She made some...

    Leaking cooler lines had caused a couple other issues. Not entirely sure yet. But O2 sensor upstream drivers side had dropped enough to rub against the drive shaft and expose the insulated wires. But they were covered in oil. So that’s an issue. It’s going in Friday for cooler lines but in the...

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    Got everything reassembled after the crank pulley seal swap. Decided for reassembly that I’d try something different with the air intake. I’ve literally had the OEM airbox sitting in a box since it came off the truck I think in 2017 when I bought the spectre intake setup off of @Rocket Man that...

    Tuesday morning last week was the second day of crank pulley job and we got our “second” snow storm of the winter. However the first snow in early December was just a little inch or so dusting that was gone in a day. Got a solid three inches at my house last Tuesday and the ski resorts for about...

    New seal put into the crank pulley spot. It’s crusty around the crank pulley. That needs a good scrub.

    While watching a video on swapping the cooler lines the guy was really informative and helpful in that he mentioned the crank pulley on his 2006 6.0 powered vortecmax crew cab silvy. I inspected mine and decided it doesn’t look super hard to pull, let’s pull and swap the seal. The seal was like...

    Alrighty so the lower for t end of the engine block has had an oil leak for a bit. Pisssy about oil leaking after all the money I spent over the previous years getting all the top end of the engine sealed up plus the rear main seal and the oil, the pickup tube and ring inside the pan and what...

    Guess I need to find myself a shop manual for this truck lol. Got lots to update on. It’s been a weird week with truck issues.

    RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

    Interesting…. That could very well be. Just weird that my original sensors seemed to think there was some sort of impact that would need a deployment. I definitely have not ran anything over or hit anything in any areas so that’s what’s tripping me up about the original sensors. I’ll see if I...

    They’re identical exterior wise and part number wise to the ones that came out. Not sure if the numbers above the bar code match up. Maybe that’s why they are not solving the issue.

    I haven’t hit anything thankfully. Our roads are pretty jacked up with potholes right now because the city of big bear lake has been majorly slacking in upkeep but I’m pretty particular and go around them as much as possible. I know where they all are at this point haha. Like driving a slalom...
