    Behind 3rd Row Sub Box?

    Wanting to add 2-3 12s behind my third row in my Yukon. Keeping the the third row is non-negotiable, I just swapped from having a large ported box for four 12s back there for the extra passenger capacity. I want to build my own box, I found a design that I like but it does not have all the...

    3" Coil Spacer with z71 Springs?

    Over the years it seems that my coil springs have worn out and sagged, which makes sense due to having a couple hundred pounds of audio in the rear. I currently am running a 6" rough country set at about 5" and 3" coil spacer in the rear and want to level it out. Has anyone ran z71 springs with...

    Heated/Cooled Cupholders

    I recently picked up a 2002 LB7 with a Denali interior swap. The console has cooled/heated cupholders, and I’d like to track down another console to swap into my Yukon. How rare was this option? I’ve found next to no info online about them being in Denalis, only Platinum Escalades. I’ll upload...

    New Carpet Kits?

    Does anyone have experience with doing a new carpet kit in their rig? Looking at the kit from stockinteriors.com, seems like a well put together kit. I've extracted my carpet multiple times and its past the point of saving, I'd like to go with a little darker color than factory, which makes the...

    2500 Shock Swap?

    I feel like I remember hearing something about using GMT800 3/4 ton shocks as a rear shock upgrade, but am having a hard time finding any info on it. My Yukon is long overdue for some shocks, and I'd like to find something that will eliminate the shock spacer that I am using now along with the...

    00-06 to 07 NBS Brake Upgrade Question

    So I am looking to do the 07 brake upgrade on my 03 Yukon, but for a different reason than most. Earlier in the year I purchased a set of 22x12 American Force wheels that were made for a newer Silverado, and they rubbed on the inside of the brake caliper bracket. From the research that I've done...

    How to clean up clear coat on LTZ wheels?

    What’s the best way to shine up LTZ wheels like I have pictured, or any polished wheel with clear coat on it? I’d like to avoid removing the clear and just shine them up a bit

    Cranking Keys on 6" RC Lift?

    Who has experience with cranking the keys or adding leveling keys to their lift kit. I'd like just a hair more up front, and the keys are maxed out. I have 20x12s on 295 Toyo ATII's and I'm concerned with front end wear, and I don't want to make it worse. I noticed as well that my drivers side...

    2015 Yukon Wheel Corrosion

    I just picked up this set of 20” rims off a yukon. They have this weird corrosion in the clear coat. What can I do to fix this? If theres already a thread on it that’d be great.

    Spacers?

    So I bought a set of 22x12 American Forces for my rig, but for whatever reason they don't clear the brakes up front by just a hair. I'm 95% sure its because they were custom made for a 2019 Chevy 1500 so the mounting surface is a little bit bigger than normal. Given that I already have 2" of...

    Security Lug Nuts

    In your guys opinion, what are the best security lug nuts? I just picked up some new wheels, and I’m looking to get the best I can. Something I considered is the really long spiked lug nuts. It seems like that would be the most unlikely lug key for someone to have, plus they look cool.

    LCA Bolt Spike Caps

    Anyone know where I can find these for my 03? I've done some research and haven't been able to find anything

    Stock wheels on lift kit?

    How much truth is there in that you can’t run stock wheels on a lift kit? I need a temporary setup while I decide what to do with my 22x14s/375s. I have a set of Texas edition 20s in the garage and some 35x12.50r20s. Will running them give me issues or will the backspacing be fine? Is the...

    Clearing 375s?

    So I sold my 22x12s and picked up some 22x14 fuel Mavericks on 375/45 nitto trail grapplers. Awesome setup but I can’t turn to save my life. I don’t really want to hack my bumper up, and I’m worried about cranking my keys. For reference I have a 6” NTD Rough Country lift with stock keys.

    Suspension Paint?

    Now I know that this is not the "right" way to do things but I'd appreciate some input anyways. I picked up a lift kit and it has some light rust. The kit is only a few months old and the rust really isn't that bad. However, I would like to clean it up a bit if possible and maybe give it some...

    Detroit Axle Front End Rebuild Kit

    Just picked up a 4" Rough Country truck lift, and am planning on installing it with coil spacers in the rear in the coming weeks (on a side note in my research I'm 90% sure the front lifts for the 4" and 6" kits for the 00-06 GM 1500s are exactly the same but that's for another thread). I know...

    Dual 6.5 Up Front

    I'm looking at upgrading my mids setup, using the 4 channel amp I already have installed. The yukon currently has 4 worn out coaxials, and I am looking at adding 4 6.5s and tweeters. I have been thinking about running all 4 6.5s on ch 1/2, and running the tweets off of 3/4 in order to not have...

    OEM speaker compatibility

    So I need to put speakers in my k20 and I have all my OEM Bose speakers from the yukon. Can I run them off the Bose amp in the K20 or just the head unit? Off the headunit with crossovers and tweeters?

    Cheap/Budget Amps

    I run a Audiopipe 2000.1 in my Yukon on 4 Sundown SA-12's. Lots of people complain how that amp clips too much and overheats. I had a problem with the same thing running stock electrical on a poorly done big 3. I now have a big 5, 240 amp Mechman alternator, and a AGM up front and barely any...

    Cheap eBay Lowering Kit...

    I want to lower my yukon, and do it for as cheap as possible. I know that’s never a good thing but I’m want to keep it 4wd. Here’s the kit I’m considering. I plan on doing keys in the front and 4 or lower in the rear. If anyone has pics on a similar setup it would be greatly appreciated, I’m...

    Pushrods Wrong Length? 350 SBC Issue

    My buddy has a k20 that I'm looking at buying. Its got a 350 with aluminum heads, a Comp 4x4 cam, lifters, springs pushrods, longtubes, carb, and I'm sure some other things that I'm missing. The only issue is the motor just doesn't seem to run right. Its got low power and backfires. The cam is...

    Buying a Truck With a Blown Head Gasket...

    I need some opinions on buying a truck with a blown head gasket. I'm not worried about the task of replacing the head gasket in its self, rather just buying a truck with a blown head gasket and what is to go along with it. Granted the truck isn't blown up from overheating, what other damage can...

    What's That Whine?

    There is a slight whine coming from my speakers. It increases in pitch with the gas. How can I get rid of this? I have a skar 75.4 on the mids and a audiopipe 2000.1 on the subs.

    Narrowband AFR Gauge?

    I'm planning on doing a 3 spot pillar gauge in my truck. I know for sure I need a digital volt meter and I want to do a trans temp gauge as well. I figure for the third spot a narrowband AFR would be a decent and relevant choice. Does anyone know the location of the wire that I will need to tap...

    Oil smells like gas...

    Well I fear this may be for the worst.... my oil smells like gas and there’s red buildup on my gas cap. My engine also keeps leaking oil, I keep taking it to get fixed but there’s always a new leak. What goes? Head gaskets? Rings? Is it time for a new motor. No check engine light and 188 on the...
