    Buying a travel trailer, what's my safe towing capacity?

    The towing guides are model year specific. Going by your username I think what you would need is on Page 4 of the 2002 Guide: http://rvbonus.com/towing/2002/2002tow.pdf You can also put in your VIN here to get the other information I linked to in that post...

    Denalis that don't have 22s? Anyone?

    They are GM rim style 5307. Mine came off a 2014 Yukon, but they were also an option for the Sierra. Here is some more info: https://www.suchertire.com/Detail/560/5307

    Denalis that don't have 22s? Anyone?

    Those were the headlights that were installed when I bought it, and to be honest, the work and I've had a long list of things that didn't in the Yukon that took priority. It does bother me (especially in the photo I put up) that they are noticeably yellowed. I may have to put in a little elbow...

    Denalis that don't have 22s? Anyone?

    Thanks. Its's a 2005 with 158k on the odometer. It was in decent shape when I found it last June, and I've tackled a few mechanical and electrical problems over the past few months that were there when I bought it. I personally think the NNBS rims were what finally pulled it together for me...

    Denalis that don't have 22s? Anyone?

    My Denali was originally shipped with 17's, and had chrome 6 spoke flared 20" rims installed by the original GMC dealer. I didn't care for the chrome or the flare when I bought it, so after a few months of CL searching I found a nice set of NNBS machined aluminum 20" rims and moved the tires...

    Would I Benefit From A Black Bear Tune?

    I have a stock 2005 6.0L Yukon Denali that I purchased last year primarily as a tow vehicle for a travel trailer. Over the last eight months I've tracked my fuel consumption and hear is what I've been seeing: Towing: 8-11 mpg (depending on terrain of the trip) City: 13-15 mpg (Basically short...

    2007 Tahoe Heater Issue - Intermitten Cool AIr

    I had the opposite this past summer where my a/c would occasionally blow hot air. Turned out to be the air blend door actuator.

    05 Yukon Denali with 20"

    My Yukon had 20" rims installed at the dealership when new. They placed a new sticker over the original factory sticker. It shows to use the original spare. Since I primarily use my Yukon for towing a travel trailer and it is AWD I wanted to have a full sized matched spare. I found a...

    Fuel Gauge Issue - Apparently I Have a 26 Gallon Tank?

    Since my last post I replaced the stepper motor on the fuel gauge while I was in the cluster replacing burnt out bulbs hoping it would be a simpler fix than pulling the pump/sending unit. I have also filled the tank twice and reset the fuel gallon meter on both tanks. The stepper motor was not...

    Buying a travel trailer, what's my safe towing capacity?

    I think you need to do your research and make a final decision yourself. The numbers I pointed you to are a good start. You now know what you have, and what GM rated your truck to haul. You also should know that the "dry weight" can be misleading. It normally is what the trailer weighs at the...

    Best place for aftermarket backup camera

    That's where I put mine, and I didn't even need to cut anything. My bumper cover had a little tab right in the center that mounted the camera bracket to.

    Buying a travel trailer, what's my safe towing capacity?

    Looks like you have the following factory towing options: KNP - NG SYSTEM TRANS, HD 913 (Trans Cooler) VR4 - TRAILER HITCH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING PLATFORM Z82 - TRAILER PROVISIONS SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, H.D. Like me you also have Hydro Boost Brakes which will help greatly with a trailer: JH2 -...

    Buying a travel trailer, what's my safe towing capacity?

    A good start would be to look at the RPO sticker in the glove box. You can either list them hear or post a photo. That will let us know what trailer options if any your Tahoe is equipped with, possible transmission cooler, rear axle ratio, etc. I'm pretty conservative with my trailering, so...

    Gauge Cluster Repair

    I had the same issue with my PRNDL display being very dim. I reflowed the solder of the surface mount resistors @Project Denali pointed out and the display is back to full brightness. I watched a few YouTube videos on stepper motor replacement, bulb replacement, and PRNDL dimness before I...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Readings

    That's in the ballpark of mine as well. About 35psi at idle and increases with RPM up to about 55psi at cruising speed.

    Gauge Cluster Repair

    You might want to check the solder points of the tach's stepper motor. When I did mine, after reinstalling the cluster my fuel gage would swing negative when powered up. I pulled the cluster and was about to desolder the stepper to return it when I noticed the bad joint on one of the pins. It...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Very clean install. This one is getting bookmarked.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Agreed, but it would be a major undertaking both in initial execution and in maintenance. I can't think of a simple way to do it within the forum structure, and almost think a wiki that linked back to specific posts or whole threads may be the best approach, and could be cooperatively built over...

    01 Suburban - runs and drives, parting out

    Any chance the seat belt buckle end for the second row seats looks like this? If so, I am in need of one for the driver's side second row seat of my '05 Yukon.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I've only been active the last few months, and kept seeing important tips and simple mods flying by. I started bookmarking specific posts and organizing them in my Chrome bookmark manager. It was the only way I could think to find my way back to any post I remembered reading. I can only imagine...

    2003 Tahoe Fuel Gauge not correct after replacing Pump / sending unit

    Thanks for posting these spec's. I plan replace the sending unit in my Yukon in the near future, and now I will definitely test it before installation.

    2001 Tahoe Oil Pressure Gauge Acting Up

    I recently replaced all the stepper motors in my cluster while I was in there replacing the burnt out bulbs. I had a bad solder joint on one of the fuel gauge pins, and it acted just like the one in the video. Luckily the fuel gauge is at the bottom of my cluster and didn't interact with any of...

    04 Tahoe Got my cluster and climate controls back...

    I just did this repair a week or so ago. You won't see anything visibly loose, but reflowing the solder on the surface mount resistors brought back my display. I found a few youtube videos that weren't well filmed, but had enough information to point me in the right direction. I posted the links...
