    Replacing torque converter - with what?

    Asking the question here, even though it's a pickup, not an SUV. But it's the same powertrain... Rear main seal needs to be replaced in my 2009 Denali. It has 150k miles, and we plan to keep it for quite a while longer. Since we're dropping the transmission, I figure it's probably a good...

    My hefty lighting investment - worth it - Alpharex and Diode Dynamics

    Did a bunch of research on headlight and foglight options, and settled on the "buy once, cry once" philosophy. I cried. A lot. o_O Settled on the Alpharex NOVA series LED projector headlights. Click here And went with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Max LED fog lights. Click here I wanted quality...

    Any decent LED fog light options out there?

    Ok, so I pulled the trigger on new LED headlights (Alpharex). Only possible downside is I've seen comments about a narrow beam. The factory round fogs are pretty worthless, even with an upgraded bulb. Since I'm gonna be ripping the front end apart, I might as well replace the fogs, too...

    Yay! Another headlight thread. Alpharex opinions?

    It's probably stupid to spend $1100 on a new set of headlights, but I think these look pretty good. Currently running an HID low and halogen high, happy with output and cutoff, but always wanted to upgrade to LED but there's not a lot of room for bulbs with large heat sinks. Does anyone have...

    The reckoning has arrived - big $$$

    My 2500 Suburban has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. Completely reliable (except for the computer running me out of gas a few times), very low cost of ownership as the odometer rolled 200k miles. Had a major issue with her - loss of oil pressure. The result was engine damage, and the...

    Upgrade remote start to smartphone functionality?

    2009 Sierra Denali, already has key fob remote start. I want to upgrade it so I can remote start via smartphone. Anyone have any experiences, good or bad? Right now, leaning towards a Viper SmartStart professionally installed at a local car audio place. TIA

    Somebody really needs to buy this 2500 Burb

    Helping a friend buy a Suburban, he stumbled onto this...Former FBI truck, in great mechanical shape. Most of the interior is good, but a few minor things. Some mounting holes in the dash, big crack across the entire dash, cracked side mirror, missing/broken rear glass release button. If was...

    No start with key, starts with remote start?

    Ok, interesting issue here, hoping someone has had this before. 2008 Suburban 2500, 6.0 LY6, 192k miles, stock except for Blackbear tune. I don't drive this truck frequently, and when I do I always use remote start. Well, this morning, after driving a bit and stopping for a quick errand, I...

    6.2 L9H 110k spark plug replacement - AAR

    Well, even though the Denali was still running fine, I figured with 110k miles on it, the plugs were due for a change. Daughter has had it 800 miles away at college, and I frankly didn't want to do it during the winter, so I put it off until now. The passenger side plug against the firewall...
