It's not a bolt in for sure. My buddy has set-up ring and pinions and it just takes patience to get it right. Having an old-school guy help would be a good thing.....
08 had a 5 speed and 3.36 gears. Motor Trend said the HP rating was way low based on their 0-60 time. Just don't expect any big changes by changing gears. I bet you'd be lucky to see a 1/2sec improvement in 0-60 going to 3.73's......
Many states in the west (California included) max out at 91 octane for most stations. It's always a disclaimer on magazine performance tests out there that the vehicle was tested on 91 octane, not 93.
Nope. 6 speed was used behind the 5.3 until the next Gen's came out in 2021. My 2019 Yukon has the 6 speed. All 6.2's got the 10 speed starting in 2018.
Just curious, did you really notice a big difference? I remember reading about a Saleen or Shelby supercharged Mustang that was only 0.2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than a stock GT.
Congrats! $35K seems a little steep as I got my CPO 2019 Yukon XL SLT w/45K miles for $39K. Seems like you talked them down though. How much do you plan to tow? I'm not sure I would tear the tranny apart to put a converter in if you are only towing 3500 lbs occasionally.
I guess, what is the real question here? It's not like your truck is suddenly not going to run. In fact I doubt you would notice any difference as you are only increasing tire size by an inch. 3.42's would more than compensate for the tire change though. I'd change the tires, drive it and see...
If you pull out the cargo thingy, the space is similar to the previous generation with the 3rd row still in. Taking the 3rd row out is a lot more difficult though. But I never used the 3rd row in my 2010 Tahoe, so the Sparksalot solution is a good one with this Gen......
You should be able to take out the cargo box and have a flat floor. They actually did this on later versions in LS trim (Custom trim?) and removed the rear seat. Might want to look into that. My wife is 4'-11" and has no problem finding a good seat position with the power pedals and tilt/tele...
Just went from a '10 Tahoe to a 19 Yukon XL. Ride is a bit better in the Yukon as is acceleration (5.3L 6 sp on both). Seats were a bit more comfortable on the Tahoe, but I am still finding the sweet spot. Despite what others may say, the Yukon is orders of magnitude quieter than the Tahoe. And...
According to Rock, you only need the RPO code, 6/7SH in my case, p/n 5401725. Just wondering why 25 different p/n's are actually needed. Seems crazy. There are no RPO codes in my glovebox. You have to scan a QR code. I got a full listing from one of the GM parts dealers with my VIN.
Just look up shock/strut. Not with coil spring. This is only a partial listing of what I get. I found my code 6/7SH. Just wondering why they need 25 p/n's.
Like I said, I know the correct RPO code for mine, I just can't believe there are 25 different strut p/n's. Especially when there are only 2 or 3 for the rear shocks.
So I was looking at Rock Auto for front shock/struts for a 2019 Suburban/Yukon XL and they list over 20 different p/n's depending on suspension code. Not including Magneride.
I know my code from the RPO, but did GM really make that many p/n's? I can see different p/n's for Z71 and smooth ride...
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I would be real curious to see what things look like under the fender flares. Any Suburban or Tahoe I've seen with rust where you have it also had bad rust in the wheel wells. You may need a full rear quarter and not even know it.....
I really don't understand the disdain you have for these. There are hundreds of thousands of happy owners out there, many on this board. 99% of them don't have valvetrain issues at 250K miles as you claim. No way, no how. Thay all have issues. Expeditions have cam phaser problems, Sequoias have...
