    still cleans up nicely…

    Great point. Come to think of it, I can recall waxing the roof exactly zero times in the past ~15 years. Now I know better!!

    …but the peeling paint on top. Holy crap. Is this happening to everyone’s white Yukon?

    Wife hates my new 2006 Yukon XL Denali

    FWIW: if I were in the op’s situation, I would not attempt any more changes to the car, and just look for something more stable for the family, and less traumatizing for his wife. To me, this is more important than a nicer house. With that being said, I have a 2003 YD with ~105k miles, and have...

    Aha! Thanks for making sense of this for me. (Not being sarcastic, either—I was really just that clueless.)

    How/where to install Battery Tender quick disconnect?

    On my 2003 Yukon Denali, I was planning to hook up my "Battery Tender Ring Terminal Quick Disconnect Plug (081-0069-6)" to my battery, but the holes in the device's ring terminals were too small for our battery post terminal bolts. Has anyone installed one of these battery tender quick...

    Transmission Temp Gauge

    I have a 2003 Yukon Denali, and the stepper motor for my battery gauge has died. I would like to do the repair myself. Based on the research I've done so far, I'm leaning towards replacing all 7 stepper motors while I have the instrument cluster out. Not sure if I'll bother with the bulbs...

    Change water pump?

    Just went through this last month.... I went ahead & had both serpentine & a/c belts replaced, too. In hindsight, I probably should have had the radiator hoses replaced as well, but I didn't think of this until they finished the job. (I'm the 2nd owner of my 2003 Yukon, and it still has the...

    how to better clean an old K&N air filter?

    The previous owner of my 2003 Yukon Denali had already installed a K&N air filter, so I bought K&N's 99-5050 cleaning kit when I bought the car. When following the directions for the kit, I will say that the Filter Cleaner does an excellent job getting rid of the old red K&N oil...

    anyone use a roof cargo box carrier on your SUV?

    This summer, we plan to take the kids and the dog on our first long road trip. Because we won't be able to stack much of our crap on top of the dog, this means that pretty much half of our trunk cargo space will be unusable. Therefore, I'm trying to look into roof-top cargo box carriers for...

    Noise from Front Diff

    Coincidentally, I also have an 03 YD, and I ended up getting the front fully rebuilt 3 months ago (@ ~63k mi). I'm in San Jose, CA, and here's what I ended up paying for: 1 used 8.25 - 3.73: $120 1 bearing kit: $100 2 axle seals: $40 2 retaining clips: $6 2qts oil/gasket: $20 labor: $450 total...

    opinions Re. Corsa Touring Exhaust?

    I can see why some would want to put down the money for a Corsa Sport, but I've heard some say that the Corsa Touring does not sound much different than the stock exhaust. On the bright side, I haven't heard anyone complain about drone with the Corsa Touring. For those of you who have a...

    questions re electric fan harness: Nelson vs Black Bear

    Thanks for all the feedback! I sent an email Nelson Performance last night, and received a prompt response. Here's my attempt to summarize their answer to my question: In order for the efans to operate correctly with their harness, the PCM needs to be tuned (ie, Pin42 must be activated). If...

    questions re electric fan harness: Nelson vs Black Bear

    Thanks Omar! I just sent an email to Nelson Performance to confirm. I have another dumb question: Does anyone know if there is any harm driving around with pins 33 & 42 turned on withOUT my new efan/harness being hooked up? I'm wondering how long can I drive around with pins 33 & 42...

    questions re electric fan harness: Nelson vs Black Bear

    Next year, I plan to have my 2003 Yukon Denali tuned by Black Bear Performance. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out which harness I should go with for my electric fan upgrade. Can anyone confirm what the differences are between Nelson's harness and Blackbear's harness? I could be wrong...

    Downside to installing the Corvette Servo?

    Take a look at your heat shield. If it's connected to your exhaust hangers (like mine is), then let's just say it'll probably add some time to your project. ...I've heard it took one guy twice as long to pull the shield and reinstall it than it did to change the servo. (He also has a 2003 Yukon...

    Downside to installing the Corvette Servo?

    Interestingly, the prick at my local AAMCO didn't even want to give me a freakin QUOTE for installing the vette servo I purchased from Oregon Performance. I tried to enlighten and inform him that many of us do this modification to our 4L60E transmissions. Regardless, he insisted that the...

    which tails do think would go best with a white Denali?

    I'm trying to track down LEDs like #1, or even the non-smoked version of #1. However, I haven't yet found an eBay seller with strong enough ratings, and who'll reply to my questions about whether or not the LEDs have resistors already built-in. Still looking....

    torque wrench recommendations (for my SS brake line installation)

    I'm going to attempt to install stainless steel brake lines (and speed bleeders) on my 2003 Yukon Denali, and my manual indicates torque specs ranging from ~6 - 30 ft lb (or 9 - 40 N m). If you have recommendations or advice regarding torque wrenches, I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks...

    about to attempt my first Chassis Lubrication

    As you know, the general recommendation is to lube the chassis components during each oil change. According to the Service Manual for my 2003 Yukon Denali, here's what needs to be lubed: the front suspension, ball joints, steering linkage, transmission shift linkage...

    which tails do think would go best with a white Denali?

    I don't have a great eye, so I'm having a hard time picking new LED tail lights for my white 2003 Yukon Denali. Which ones do you think would go best with my SUV?
