    AWD vs 4WD

    My Denali is hard to turn, and especially after I change out worn steering components (another joy of AWD). I wish I had a true 4WD system, if for nothing else than the gas mileage and ability to turn it off.

    6.0 Cold Start Snorting

    2005 Yukon Denali with ~200,000 miles on the 6.0. I'm not driving this truck as much anymore, so when I start it, she's dead cold. I get a big "snort" sound on startup, almost like a piston is pushing air back out the intake. It goes away after the engine is running, but I'm wondering if it...

    Looking for a diesel 4x4 'burb. What to look for??

    I have an '05 Denali that I love around town, but my wife and I are looking to move further out of town. Now we are looking for a snow truck (possibly a plow) and long distance hauler, and was considering a 1999 or older diesel 'burb for the job. What should I look for when interviewing...

    2005 Denali Yukon won't take fuel- NOT THE EVAP SOLENOID

    After much cursing and two busted knuckles from those stupid evap hoses, the vapor canister has been replaced, without a resolution to the problem. Should I just burn this tank and sell the truck?

    2005 Denali Yukon won't take fuel- NOT THE EVAP SOLENOID

    I have a 2005 Yukon Denali AWD. It won't fuel more than at a sipping pace. It takes about 45 minutes to fill up the entire tank. First, I disconnected the filler tube and ran a piece of bungee through with no issues. Then I came to this forum and discovered the Evap solenoid is a regular...

    Front Hub Squeeka-squeeka Question

    I jacked up the truck, and the bearing doesn't feel rough or have any play. I couldn't get the squeeka squeeka sound by hand.

    Front Hub Squeeka-squeeka Question

    2005 Denali with AWD, 180,000 miles, well maintained. I have a "squeeka squeeka" sound from the drivers front wheel when turned to the left. It started out minimal and only on hard turns, but now is doing it on even slight turns. Thought it might be the squeal bands on the front pads, but...

    DRL to LED Conversion- Won't light up???

    I have replaced almost all the incancescnet bulbs on my 2005 Yukon Denali with LED's from superbrightleds.com. I put cool white replacement 3157's in the DRL spot, but they won't come on. Opinions? At first I thought I just had the bulbs in backwards (LED's matter), but they still won't...

    No rear air at all

    My rear climate control blower motor went inop as well; I had previously found the burned plug and bypassed it with a quick disconnect. Couldn't figure it out, dug into the rear compartment again. Finally came back and read this thread. My quick disconnect had come undone. Morale of the...

    Got a pic with the facia removed? I have limited fabrication skills in the apartment. I have the Metra kit, but need to figure out how to attach it.

    2005 Denali CD Player Replacement Cubby?

    I upgraded my head unit, which doesn't speak the GMC lingo, so my old factory in-dash 6 disc CD changer was useless. I wanted to swap out the factory CD player for a cubby to store cell phones and such. I ordered Genuine GM 15958735 Instrument Panel Cluster Compartment . This part is about an...

    What to do with old factory head unit and CD player?

    My factory head unit is on her last legs, but the dash multi-disc CD player worked fine until I changed head units last week. Anyone know someone looking for one? I'm just going to pull it and put the cubby in place.

    In WAAAAY over my head. Trying to install new head unit

    Actually, the Axxess didn't have all the parts in the box, so he put a PAC in it anyways. The new radio is awesome. Should have done this years ago.

    No power to rear blower motor.

    Look at the big plug under the left kick panel. Take it apart, and check to see if any of the connections are burnt (Hint: probably the big orange wire).

    In WAAAAY over my head. Trying to install new head unit

    I'm putting it all back in the boxes and taking it to an installer Monday. I had to pull the dash to replace some sensors anyways. Those are done. I'll leave it apart for the guy to save him some time.

    In WAAAAY over my head. Trying to install new head unit

    For the record, the Axxess instructions are absolutely worthless. Do I have a LAN 29, LAN 11, Class II or Class III system?

    In WAAAAY over my head. Trying to install new head unit

    2005 Yukon Denali, with the Bose stereo system. Basically, the CD player in my factory head unit and the 6-disc changer both took a crap and I ordered a new head unit. I thought if I ordered the "kits" needed, it would be basically plug and play- it isn't. Now I have a $600 rats nest, with no...

    Best replacement 3rd brake light?

    It is literally two screws and a rubber gasket. Be careful about low grade equipment; cheap lights only last about 6 months. Google CHMSL (Center High Mount Stop Light). Plenty of options will come up.

    Welding on Frame Precautions

    I'm getting ready to weld a small tab (LED backup light) on the trailer hitch with a stick welder. Normally I pull whatever component I'm welding off the vehicle and do it on the bench; this will be the first time I've ever welded on the vehicle itself. I still could, but pulling the whole...

    6.2 what kind of mpg are you getting?

    Sorry. I just noticed I got up a year in my post. I have a 2005 Denali. I'll wander back over to my tribe.

    6.2 what kind of mpg are you getting?

    I say AWD sucks for two reasons: First, you can't turn it off, Secondly, you can't turn it on. I'd far prefer just a regular 4-hi/4-lo transfer case with some auto lockers in the rear axle. I don't need the AWD when highway driving, and it sucks down fuel and tires unnecessarily. I'd also...

    Replacing aftermarket dvd receiver

    Can't I just wire the camera power to one of the reverse lights? I have to run the wire all the way back to the trailer hitch anyways, but it seems easier to get the power back there. Also, I ordered the Axess interface kit, not the PAC one you recommended (from crutchfield). I can't imagine...

    Do you have any pictures of your head unit installation? I'm about to do it, and would appreciate any tips or tricks. Wanting it to look as factory as possible.

    Replacing aftermarket dvd receiver

    Do you have any pictures or tips on this installation? I'm thinking about installing a re manufactured unit from Crutchfield and appreciate your insight. How factory does it look?
