    I say buy it before someone changes their mind and then decide.

    Replacement of Oil Pressure Unit

    I too did it by feel after watching a few youtube videos. I separated the fuel line using one of these 3/8 fuel line tools to give my hand a little extra room, and then literally laid a drop cloth over the engine and climbed up and in, chest down and arms between the engine and firewall. You are...

    Double DIN head unit...who has what

    If you are on a mobile device, turn your phone sideways. There is a different mobile layout depending on if the view is portrait or landscape, and for some reason they display different things.

    Double DIN head unit...who has what

    How's the Bluetooth pairing? I have a JVC single DIN media unit installed in my wife's car. BT is slow to pair, sometimes only pairs the phone, sometimes only the audio, sometimes it needs to be power cycled to connect properly. I had seen similar reports of slow pairing on newer units, so I...

    My dual battery writeup...

    What @Martinjmpr said, plus be aware that the the inverter you linked to is a modified sine wave inverter. These are fine for running motors, lights, and other similar tools, but should not be used with sensitive electronics like computers or anything that charges batteries.

    Denali bumper vs. non-Denali bumpers

    @Knope has done a nice Denali conversion on his '02 Yukon.

    Does a full size 22 fit under with as a spare

    I would think that it would fit, but be pretty tight and possibly low hanging. I have 275/55R20's on my '05 and was able to fit a full sized spare underneath. It was close front to back with a little room to spare, and was still about 1/2" higher then the low point of my rear diff. My Stock...

    Towing Basics - 2005 Yukon XL 2WD

    I don't know if it was all part of the Denali package or if whoever ordered my Yukon originally spec'd it out pretty well for towing. I have the KPN option for the HD external transmission cooler, the VR4/Z82 trailering packages, a 3.73 rear, and a trans temp gauge in my cluster. If I didn't...

    02Yukon to Denali

    Did they at least give you back your original NBS calipers and brackets so you could get your core charge back since you purchased the NNBS assemblies? If not, I think they pocketed your ~$90 core charge, your $50 in extra new NBS brackets, and $15 worth of new NBS caliper bolts.

    Towing Basics - 2005 Yukon XL 2WD

    I purchased my '05 expressly for towing a travel trailer that we picked up last spring. Here are a few things that either came with my Yukon, I have already done, or plan to do before we head out again next season: HD Transmission Cooler Transmission Temp Gauge Weight Distributing Hitch w/...

    Double Din Touch screen

    Replacing my unused 6-disc changer with a Scangauge II might have just jumped to the top of my to-do list.

    02Yukon to Denali

    Well, now I'm a little confused because these are the parts that @Knope has laid out in his photo: ACDelco 18FR2246 Disc Brake Caliper Assembly (NNBS) ACDelco 18FR2247 Disc Brake Caliper Assembly (NNBS) Cardone 14-1108 Remanufactured Caliper Bracket (NBS) Cardone 14-1109 Remanufactured...

    02Yukon to Denali

    That makes sense. Looking at the part number on the boxes I now see that they are direct replacement for the original NBS brakes, and that the caliper bolt replacements are also the NBS style. Thanks for the input. I've added the parts to my shopping list since my Yukon has spent it's life in...

    02Yukon to Denali

    Can I ask why you installed new caliper brackets during the 07+ brake upgrade? I'm planning on installing the update on my '05 in the spring. I've read several of the other threads here on the topic, but I've never seen mention of needing to swap out the brackets. Other than that, how have you...

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

    Yes, the cover was missing when I bought it. I can buy the whole assembly on ebay for $45, but that seems ridiculous since all I need is the cover. None of the yards near me have a match for my seat style.

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

    Any chance that either of them have a gray interior and second row captain's chair? If so I've been looking a seat belt buckle end for the driver's side seat.

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

    Today was all about lighting. Installed new 4300k HID low beams and replaced the aged 35W ballasts with a new pair of 55W. Replaced the peeled amber bulbs in my front running/turn lights with natural amber bulbs after I blew all the flakes out of the housings Replaced the 8 mini-bulbs in the...

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

    Bought a used tire on Ebay that matched the set that came on my Yukon a few weeks ago, and then picked up a 20" rim from a 2009 Nissan Titan at a salvage yard last weekend. Today I had them mounted and balanced as a full sized spare that I don't have to worry about messing up the AWD, and that...

    2005 GMC Sierra Hood on a 2005 Denail?

    Thanks. That's what I thought, and since I posted I search a few salvage part cross reference sites and it also confirmed it. The seller couldn't meet this afternoon, so I'm hoping to get out to it this weekend.

    2005 GMC Sierra Hood on a 2005 Denail?

    So one of the few complaints that I have for my Denali is that the hood has a few dents / creases along the front edge and the clear coat has fogged and peeled in the center. A black hood off of a standard GMC Sierra has just come up locally on Craigslist for a good price. It looks like it is...

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

    Filled up this morning, and you were 100% correct. Reset both the gallons used and average MPG. It will be interesting to see if the gallons used for this tank matches my next fill up. Thanks again @SnowDrifter.
