    2004 Yukon Denali partout

    Is the hood still available? It looks decent in the first post. Any damage or failing clear coat? I'm not that far away in MA, and could come down and grab it if it's still there and in bolt on condition. -mals

    TPMS sensors on a 02?

    Nope. Not introduced until late 2004 with the 2005 models.

    How to disable 12v outlets when truck is off?

    It's behind a plastic cover on the left hand side of the driver's foot well. Right behind the bottom of the swing of the emergency brake pedal.

    Are you also looking at Facebook Marketplace listings in your area? As much as I don't like FB, the use of the market place as a classified section is really starting to replace the use of Craigslist in my area. A quick search for listings around Everett, WA shows a ton of NBS and a handful of...

    Question for upgrading Towing capacity 06 Denali

    It looks like you already received some good information, but I wanted to add my experiences since they may be relevant. I purchased my 2005 6.0L AWD Yukon Denali specifically to tow our Gulfstream AmeriLite 21MB. Like yours, mine has a max tow capacity of 8,100lbs, front axle rating of...

    at home engine replacement

    I agree with both of the points. I purchased my Yukon with 156K and no maintenance history. It had its issues that I could see when I bought it. Over the next year I tackled those repairs one at a time in order of safety, scheduled maintenance, and then performance. Most of those were...

    Anyone ever put in a hybrid engine in an 00 to 06 car?

    I find the MPG / Gallons Used readings in the DIC to range from spot on to widely off for any given tank. The best way to figure it out is to track your mileage and fill ups at the pump. I use Fuelly.com to track the fuel usage for all my vehicles. You might want to track a few tanks to see what...

    1,200 Mile Road Trip - P0171 / P0174 / P0300 Engine Codes

    I'm still using the stock paper filter, so the MAF shouldn't be fouled with any oil. However, I may may pull the MAF and the MIT to check both. Can't hurt to clean the MAF and make sure the MIT is properly seated on the TB. If that doesn't do it I'll try 02 sensors, and then move on from there...

    1,200 Mile Road Trip - P0171 / P0174 / P0300 Engine Codes

    Spark plugs were replaced 9k ago when I bought it, but I didn't replace the wires or coils at the time. They all looked good and I needed to put the money elsewhere when I was getting it fit for the road.

    1,200 Mile Road Trip - P0171 / P0174 / P0300 Engine Codes

    Hmmm, I did install an Airaid MIT tube last spring a few months before I started getting these codes. I don't think I read any reviews of the MIT that mentioned issues after install. I wonder if it was enough to reveal another issue that was hidden (MAF, intake gasket, or O2 sensor).

    1,200 Mile Road Trip - P0171 / P0174 / P0300 Engine Codes

    Thanks for the info, but the downstream ones are $10 less each then the upstream ones. If I'm going to be under there fighting them out of the exhaust I'd rather just lose one day to the project than a second one down the line. Also, I think the conventional wisdom with 02 sensors is if one...

    1,200 Mile Road Trip - P0171 / P0174 / P0300 Engine Codes

    So over the past few months these three codes have popped up occasionally. Generally after 1-2 hours of highway driving. Sometimes it's just one of the lean condition codes, other times just the random misfire. Driving from MA to NJ after Christmas about an hour in I got the P0300 code, pulled...

    Anyone ever put in a hybrid engine in an 00 to 06 car?

    Well, there's your problem. ;) I have a 6.0L AWD and average 16 on the highway, 13 around town (all 35 mph or less), and 10mpg when towing my travel trailer. If you are seeing single digits regularly with a 5.3L, and don't have driving habits that would explain it, I agree it might be worth...

    Hardwiring issues - ignition switched 12v

    I used the same upfitter port to hard wire my GPS and dash mounted cell phone charger. If memory serves the ignition controlled 12v pin is fused at 20 amps so I put an in line 3amp fuse to each of my accessories.

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

    I think you should use it to black out the mesh grille, but I may be biased

    Anybody rebuilds gauge clusters?

    More than likely the pegged oil gauge is a bad oil pressure sensor. It's a cheap part and can be swapped out with basic tools and a lot of patience. It's located on the back of the block right up against the firewall.

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

    Yes, and since you don't have TPMS you don't even need to worry about the 2007+ sensors being different than the 2004-2006 sensors.

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

    Huh, I've always had the opposite reaction. My OCD can't deal with the 5-spokes radiating out from the 6 lug nuts.

    I'm going to try to incorporate the use of jack-wagon into my life more. Thank you both for this opportunity.

    Need a new front differential 2004 Tahoe

    I've had the ATP front diff for my AWD GT4 bookmarked since I did my front diff fluid change and found silver fluid and a fuzzy magnet. So far it is holding together, but I'm sure one day I'll need to swap it out. In my research they had the best warranty (5 year / 100,000 Mile) at a somewhat...

    Need a transmission - $3k budget - what would you do?

    Great, now I'm almost hoping my transmission goes out so I can order one of these: The PerformaBuilt Heavy Hauler 700R4 - 4L60E Transmission That is definitely getting bookmarked for the future. Towing in overdrive would certainly help my 10mpg average when hauling our travel trailer cross...

    I might be interested in all or some of those Denali trim pieces for my '05 depending on price and condition.
