    CCM Kit Installation LTZ

    I replaced my Autoride shocks and struts with Bilstein 4600s. Since the, the Yukon has been high up front stock, lowered and leveled. Anyone interested in some 2 month old Bilsteins? I might just go with Pedders all around.

    CCM Kit Installation LTZ

    I just did it on my Yukon XL AWD. I made sure my axle joints were not binding before jacking the lower A arm up, just below strut . Once the strut stopped compressing I placed a 4' pry bar across the upper A arm and had to lean my body on the pry bar while starting the ball joint nut. By the...

    Riding high up front

    If I was to do the free travel mod or cut the bump stops, there is no guarantee that my Yukon will not continue to compress the Belltech springs more. I rather go with the Pedders springs than deal with any more Belltech parts. Tony, A kit "Belltech 2/3-4 07 UP Tahoe Yukon Escalade Kit"...

    Riding high up front

    The install was simple enough. I did not forget to swap out bump stops, new shorter pale yellow parts packaged in same box as springs. My understanding was that the free travel was reserved for the 4" inch drop option, no 1" spacer between lower spring insulator and spring perch. I don't...

    Riding high up front

    Sorry to break your shock measuring competition, but if you want to debate with each other, PM works great. I started this post to get some answers on why my set up is not working. Moving along now, I got under the Yukon and this is what I found. 1. The springs, are PN: Belltech 5305-001...

    Riding high up front

    I will measure the space between the axle and bump stop and recheck spring PN. I placed the lower spring insulator on top of the spacer before setting them on the axle spring perch, then the spring with the upper spring insulator. I followed the instructions below. g) Carefully remove the...

    Riding high up front

    Yeah, I have encountered some issues with lowering my Yukon. I had issues with the lowering kit early on. The Belltech shock extender welds looked like crap, and one bracket was misaligned, so I had it cut, re welded both, and powder coated them. I believe the HD struts are the issue here...

    Riding high up front

    I installed a TBSS Belltech kit 2-3/4. Instead of replacing damaged Autoride struts with OEM parts, I replaced them with Bilstein HDs, 24-186926 (F4-BE5-E374-H1). I then replaced the rears with Bilstein HDs, 24-186933 (F4-BE5-E375-H0). I was hoping for a slightly lower front end...

    wtb/looking for autoride shock/strut

    I own a 2008 Yukon Denali XL with Autoride. The passenger front strut was leaking, but they were both chucked into the scrap pile at the shop without checking the condition of the other. They were replaced with Biltein HD 4600s, front and back, (rides great with a Belltech 2-3/4 drop. The two...

    Throttle Body is killing me

    I have disconected the battery on several occasions for over 15 minutes and nothing. I guess I could explain a bit more. As I approach a stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerates and then stops, (it's anoying, at crosswalks pedestrians glare at me as if I intentionally reved my engine at...

    Throttle Body is killing me

    It is a 2008 Yukon Denali XL with a 6.2L. By the way, I still owe you some pictures of Y pipe for header quote. I could have done this today as I installed the SLP Harmonic.

    Throttle Body is killing me

    So I installed a cold air intake sometime ago. While doing this I decided to stick my paws into the throttle body to clean it, BIG MISTAKE. I read that on the forums that I messed with the calibration. I also read that the throttle body would self calibrate after 500 -750 miles of normal...

    Qa1 shocks

    If anyone has installed them on a similar ride, what part number did they use? I spoke to QA1 and they told me that some costumers have installed them on Yukons and Tahoes, but the part they ordered was not vehicle specific and he cannot recall the part numbers. He did say that if I provide...

    Qa1 shocks

    Has anyone installed QA1 shocks on their ride? Replacing front and rear shocks now that I know how to defeat "service suspension warning". I have a 2007 Yukon Denali XL AWD. I have a TBSS 2/3-4 lowering kit that will go on it.

    Autoride bypass

    You are the man, I will definately return Arnott their shocks. Now comes the task of figuring out what shocks to get. QA1s are awesome pieces, I just need a part number for front and backs.

    Header/Exhaust Manifold Bolts??

    You being a chicka has nothing to do with it if you know what you are doing. I will be installing my headers this weekend. If I break one I will do a write up with pictures on how to remove it or them. I beleive ARP and Stage 8 makes a set of bolts. I usually go to...

    Get a catch can before any mods.

    As you operate your vehicle the engine produces crankcase vapors that are released through your valve covers. The more you get on it, the more you will produce. This pressure has to be released to avoid engine foul up due to the vapors containing oil, fuel, carbon and moisture. Instead of...

    LLP Headers Concern

    Thanks for the input skaffy03 Pooter, I think you are right, I will get it tuned with what I have and then retune with the heads and cam. Since I am new to Tahoe, Yukon and GM in general, what are some other good bolt on mods? I already have the Banks Ram Air kit installed, LLP headers this...

    LLP Headers Concern

    Well I guess I will find out on Wednsday when I put them in. Since we are on the subject of headers, are there mil eliminators that I can purchase to avoid pesky error codes for the time being? I plan on having it tuned, but not until I have the heads ported and install the cam. Thanks for...

    LLP Headers Concern

    I seen a really good thread about a guy with a white 06 having to removing the transmision support to install the y pipe and later taking it to a muffler shop to modify it because it was hitting the tranny support. If that is the case, I will just have my exhaust guy make me a custom 3" y pipe.

    Where to go for Cams and Head Porting

    So I am a Ford guy at heart, but recognize that the Expedition is garbage, so I purchased a used 2008 Yukon Denali XL AWD 6.2L for a family vehicle. I couldn't leave it alone, but being the novice that I am when it comes to GM products, I contacted Lingenfelter about head porting and cams. The...
