    Escalade roof rack side bars compatible with Z71 rack?

    I'm looking for a Sub LTZ roof rack with the stainless side bars...very hard to find. So that got me to wondering if the stainless Escalade side bars are the same as the LTZ ones? Looking at diagrams, there seems to be 'tabs' at both ends of the Escalade bars where it mounts to the roof. Are...

    Anyone find a way to engage A/C compressor when below 40 outside?

    If there is one thing that bugs me about my Yukon it's this! Last night had 7 of us in the Yukon while it was snowing. Defrost was on high but all the windows were fogging up. Outside temp showed 35 so of course the compressor won't kick in to help dry the air inside. Had to crack the...

    Rear glass hinge separated from glass

    Anyone have one of the hinges come unglued from the glass on the rear hatch? Passenger side hinge on mine came unglued making it very difficult to close the glass. I had to remove the lift cylinder on that side to get the window to close without being pushed way up. The lift cylinders were...

    Transfer case overhaul

    My 2004 Yukon XL 2500 needs to have the transfer case overhauled. The bearing at the back where the rear driveshaft connects is making a 'whirring' noise like a wheel bearing going out. There is also a clicking type noise coming from inside transfer case somewhere. Anyone come across the same...

    Alarm not working after door panel swap

    Ok here's a good one. I swapped the door panels complete with power switches between my 04 Denali and 04 2500. After doing so, the keyless/alarm remotes also swapped. It seems the remotes are tied into the driver's side power switch module. The lock/unlock works on both but the alarm will...

    Nerf bars on 2500 Yukon

    Anyone replace the factory running boards with nerf bars on a 2500 Yukon/Suburban? I'm in the middle of swapping 3" stainless nerf bars on my Denali with the factory running boards from the 2500. Got everything off and running boards put on the Denali. Problem I found is there isn't a body...

    Picked up a Yukon 2500 Quadrasteer

    Came across this gem for sale on CL and got it for a steal! It needs a little work (oil leak, a/c comprssor, power steering pump) but once that's all done I'll still be in the middle of the green zone in the KBB value. It's a 2004 with 180k miles, spent all it's life until 2 years ago in FL...

    Coolant loss and sludge in oil

    I'm afraid I know the answer to this but want some more opinions on the issue please. Started about a year ago after pulling our camper on a 4 hour trip. Yukon ran great, no issues. Next morning I start it up and there is a horrible tapping sound...ended up being lifters. Once engine warmed...

    Denali front drive train possibly binding? FIXED

    2004 Denali - has had a ticking sound from left front under heavy acceleration since I bought it a year and a half ago. Well now ticking noise is gone...but when take off from a stop at any speed...the steering wheel is pointing a bit to the right (about 1 o'clock) and the truck slightly pulls...

    Intermittent rough idle, sluggish and popping in exhaust - FIXED!

    I've been battling this for a few months now. Been searching the internet high and low but can't beat it. 2004 GMC Yukon Denali 195k miles. There are currently no codes stored and no check engine light. There has been a P0300 code once but that has been cleared. Issue started slowly a few...

    Noob with a Yukon

    Hi all...recently purchased an 04 Yukon Denali XL. Previous daily driver was a 1987 Bronco XLT lifted and modified. Needed something with a longer wheelbase so we could buy a longer camper. Yukon fit the bill perfectly. Going from an 87 to an 04 is like going from a Pinto to a Cadillac...
