    Tech 2...

    It looks like the product link above isn't working any more. A search of their site lead me to this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2017-For-GM-TECH-Full-Set-Support-6-Software-G-M-OPEL-SAAB-ISUZU-SUZUKI-HOLDEN/32826097470.html Does that look like the same unit you purchased, just with the GM...

    04 Tahoe gauges and dic not working

    It sounds like it might be the surface mount resistors that are on the board above the speedo stepper motor. If you are handy and comfortable with a soldering iron I can dig up the youtube video that I used before repairing mine. If not, sending it out to one of the repair services should be...

    1995 Tahoe blank keys?

    When I purchased my Yukon used it only came with one key, it was not an OEM key, and the peaks and points of it were rounded smooth from use. I actually went to the dealer and they looked up the key code using my VIN and cut me a new crisp key. After that I took that new key to the hardware...

    Best brakes for towing?

    I use my Yukon primarily for towing our travel trailer, so after too much research and debate I ended up going with the Bendix Fleet MetLok line of rotors and pads. They were priced well (under $300 total for all four corners), seem well reviewed, and designed specifically for what I am asking...

    Recommendations on brakes?

    Nothing specific, but I have been looking into the differences between the GMT800 and GMT900 front calipers since I am about to do the upgrade on my 2005. Basically for the GMT900 they increased the size of the caliper bracket and the radius of the caliper to accommodate the 13" front rotor that...

    Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

    I just ordered all the parts to do my own NNBS front brake upgrade, redo the rear breaks, and replace all six flex lines with stainless. As soon as I saw your post, I looked into the Motive bleeder, watched a few videos, and placed an order for one. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    Recommendations on brakes?

    I don't have an '07, but from what I have gathered around here some very early model year '07s were actually still NBS models like the 2000-2006 GMT800 body styles. If yours looks like a NNBS then you likely have the GMT900 breaking setup.

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

    Gave it a bath, and pulled the trigger on all the parts to complete the NNBS front brake upgrade (rotors, pads, calipers), refresh the the stock NBS rear brakes (rotors, pads, and parking shoes), and replace all the flex lines with stainless.

    Nissan Titan Steel Rims w/ GMC 6-Lug Center Cap?

    Thanks for the info. I've been looking for GM wheels to mount snow tires on for months. Everyone either wants more for them than I am willing to spend, or they've been trashed by curbs, potholes, and New England winters. I finally expanded my search to include Titan wheels, and this set popped up.

    Nissan Titan Steel Rims w/ GMC 6-Lug Center Cap?

    Your observations are correct. Still no reply from the seller, but I found out that the Nissan cap is 7.75" and the GMC cap is 7.25". I'm familiar how they mount with the threads on the head of the lug nuts that the decorative cap bolts screw onto, I had similar ones on my old Astro. If I...

    Nissan Titan Steel Rims w/ GMC 6-Lug Center Cap?

    My spare is a 20" smooth faced six spoke aluminum rim. These are steelies with a center hub cap. I also don't own the GMC covers yet. I found one ebay listing that said they were 7.25" at the base. I have an email in to the Craigslist seller to see if he can give me a measurement of the Nissan...

    Nissan Titan Steel Rims w/ GMC 6-Lug Center Cap?

    I've been trolling Craigslist in search of some inexpensive rims to mount snow tires on. I found a set of four 17" steel Nissan Titan rims. I know the Titan's bolt pattern is a match, I have a 20" Titan rim with a matched tire on it under my Yukon as a full sized spare. The questions is does...

    Long time lurker, finally registered. 2003 Yukon Denali Build

    I just purchased the 07+ ACDelco front calipers on Amazon for $49.87 each including the $45.00 core charge. When I ship back my old calipers I will be out less than $10 for my new calipers. I'm going with Bendix Fleet Metlok rotors and pads front and back to increase braking since I mostly use...

    100k differential maintenance question

    This is the site that I used to decode all the RPOs for my Yukon. http://www.cadillacfaq.com/rpo/ Don't worry that it's a Cadillac website, it searches the entire GM RPO database.

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

    My research shows the same and the Goodridge 14196 is in my shopping cart. If anyone would like to weigh in, I am going back and forth between which severe duty rotors to go with for the front and rear. I mostly use my Yukon for towing, so I am interested in what while have the best performance...

    What type of oil for 03 Tahoe?

    I use Penzoil Platinum High Mileage Synthetic and it says for vehicles over 75k. I know that is just marketing, but since there is no difference in price I see no reason to question it. I started using it since I noticed a few minor leaks when I first purchased my Yukon. I think it has stopped...

    What type of oil for 03 Tahoe?

    I think that generally once you start in on high mileage formulations you should stick with them. They have seal conditioners that help old seals "plump" to fill worn tolerance. Seals can then wear in again to seat to current gaps. If you stop with the high mileage oil there is the potential for...

    100k differential maintenance question

    If you go to the Amsoil website, and put in the details of your Tahoe they will give you the quantities and fluid types you need. I found the information accurate when I did my service a few months ago.

    I don't really care for the fit in my 2005 Yukon. I am really surprised since the sets I've ordered for my 2011 Toyota Tacoma and 2017 GMC Canyon fit amazingly well, and I would recommend without hesitation.

    Tire mismatch on AWD

    Before I purchased my 2005 AWD Yukon I had a 2000 AWD Astro van. The manual for the Astro stated that all tires needed to be within 3/32 to prevent damage to the AWD system. I have applied that same criteria to my Yukon, and when I needed to replace a damaged tire. I luckily found a pair of...

    Towing MPG (interested in all years, 2000 - 2017)

    Is see the same in my 2005 Yukon with a 6.0L and our 4k travel trailer. If I go up hill it's a few tenths below, and going down it's a few tenths above.

    2006 Yukon Denali Rims

    Understandable, I feel the same way. WORK has been getting in the way of a few projects I have had to back burner. I was interested in the 17" SLT wheels.

    2006 Yukon Denali Rims

    I don't mean to be a bother, but we are starting to approach snow tire season here in New England. If there is a possibility that the wheels are still available, and you can get me a shipping cost I'd like to put them to use. If not, no worries. I will try to find something local that will work...
