    Turn signal mirrors!

    When I purchased my Yukon the power fold mechanism didn't work, sounded like the gears were stripped. I was able to get a cheap pair of DL3 mirrors on ebay that had scratched covers and broken mirror glass. I was able to pop the glass and caps off of my pair and swap them over and make two good...

    More pics of my 06

    Sorry if this was mentioned in another thread, but I would be interested in finding out what brand/style of replacement head and running lights you used. I'd like to see if they make an equivalent set for my Denali grill. -mals

    Traction Devices / Snow Tires

    I took a look at the Goodyear website, and unless I am missing something it looks like their Duratrac tire is an all-season tire that is rated for use in snow and off-road. If you are going through all this expense and trouble it seems like you would want to go with a dedicated snow tire. The...

    "Best" wheel size?

    I only have one data point since my '05 came with 20" wheels, but I find the ride very comfortable and the handling excellent. My Yukon came with a set of dealer option flared 6 spoke chrome rims that weren't quite my style (and still in my profile pic). I spent about 6 months trying to find a...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    It was mentioned previously in this topic that the '06 and earlier actually had better rears than the '07-13, and that even if they worked they would be a downgrade. The best "stock" combo is to upgrade the front with 2007+ components, rebuild the rear with original style components, and upgrade...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    David - Thanks for double checking. They've all been placed in my "GMC Upgrade" Amazon Wishlist, and front brake update has been put on my mental to-do list. Glad to hear they have been working well for you. -Mals

    Traction Devices / Snow Tires

    I can't speak to using chains or snow tires on a Yukon since I only purchased mine last summer. As for snow tires in general, I can say they are worth the effort if you think you will find yourself in prolonged snowy conditions. We've been using them on our two Ford Focuses since moving to...

    2005 Yukon XL - Wifes Daily Driver

    Are you sure it is the cluster? One of the ways that an oil pressure sensor failure can show is the 80+ reading when the ignition is in the "run" position with both the engine off or running. I had to swap the one in my '05 Yukon out this summer.

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    David - Thanks for posting these part numbers. The rotors are exactly what I've been looking for. I wanted something that was slotted, but didn't want to have the rotors also drilled since I will be primarily using my Yukon to tow a travel trailer. The main question I have is that the ACDelco...

    Oil Pressure Sensor gone bad: Remove intake plenum or no?

    I can't imagine it is much different then my '05 6L that I did a few months ago. I watched a few youtube videos, and then literally laid a drop cloth over the engine and climbed up and in, chest down and arms between the engine and firewall. I did pop the connection on the solid fuel line to...

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

    Not quite "today", but over the last 72 hours I've crossed a few items off my to-do list: Replaced Engine Coolant Temp Sensor (Solved Cold Start Issue) Replaced Rear Muffler Isolator Replaced all interior lighting with LED bulbs Installed WeatherTech floor mats Oil and Filter Change Had the...

    Converting 2005 Tahoe LT to Bluetooth with Streaming?

    I purchased a new old stock BlueFusion BFCL2K Kit on ebay for $50 when I got my 2005 Yukon. It installed in a few minutes by connecting it to the XM module behind the glove box and running the mic up next to the OnStar mic. I slid the OnStar mic forward so it is out of site and mounted the...

    2004 Denali Part Out

    Any chance you still have the seat belt buckle end for the driver's side second row seat?

    Fuel economy

    I think it would helpful to have some numbers to work with. Are you driving 50 miles on a half tank or 150? I've been using fuelly.com to track every tank since I bought my Yukon to compare mileage towing vs normal driving.

    Under hood light mod

    Thanks. I checked after I posted that and saw that he hasn't logged in since February. Hopefully he'll drop by eventually, but either way I have several projects to get to before this would be on the top of the list.

    Normal oil pressure 6.0 Vortec

    It should drop down to zero. If it is showing any pressure with the engine off the oil pressure sensor is bad. Mine showed 40psi with the engine off, at idle, or under load. Others fail more dramatically and show 80+psi at all times. Now my new sensor shows zero with the key in run with the...

    Normal oil pressure 6.0 Vortec

    You might want to do a quick test. Turn the ignition to the run position without starting it and watch the gauges energize. If it oil pressure needle sticks at ~40psi with the engine off (i.e. no pressure) you have a bad oil pressure sending unit. Mine was like that when I bought it with 156k...

    Under hood light mod

    ezdaar - If you are still building and selling these, I'd be interested in a price to add some underhood lighting to my '05 Yukon with no oem lighting.

    2005 Yukon Denali Wheel Update

    That's what I initially thought after much research, but no official confirmation if it actually working. That's why I eventually asked the question here. NathanJax was pretty specific in saying that despite the fact that they have the same frequency they will not sync.

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

    Finally tackled replacing the upper air blend door actuator. I can't understand how GM thought that was a good place to put that actuator. Either way its done.

    2005 Yukon Denali Wheel Update

    I've been looking at updating the stock 20" wheels on my 2005 Denali. I've found a nice set off of a 2014 GMC locally on Craigslist, and just wanted to confirm that they will work with my vehicle. I know they all have the same bolt pattern, but just wanted to make sure that the backspacing and...
