    Looking for a 22" wheel for a spare in SC/GA/NC

    I plan to install a big brake kit someday. My latest set of 22" tires is close to being replaced. I just used my spare recently, and realized it's 11 years old, and only 17". So this seems like a good time to get a fifth 22" wheel to use for the spare. I'll mount the best of the current set...

    Replicating NorcalSS Drop Kit

    Hi all: I finally had an opportunity to get a drop kit for my Denali (Z55 suspension, which I want to keep), only to find out NorcalSS is out of business. I'm trying to replicate his 2/3-4 drop kit: Belltech kit 739, which includes: - Front spindles: Belltech 2509 - Rear springs: Belltech...

    Sierra Front Clip on Yukon

    Hi all: On the FB group there have been a couple of posts lately about swapping over a Sierra front clip onto a Yukon. The wheel opening mismatch is a stylistic concern. But I really like the look overall. The front end is probably the one thing about my Yukon I'd want most to change at this...

    Sales Strategy for Wheels

    Moderator, if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move it. I didn't think I could post it in classifieds, since it isn't actually a for sale post... I have a set of NNBS Yukon Denali chrome 20" wheels I've been trying to sell locally for months. But prices have fallen off a cliff. I'm...

    NNBS Escalade CHMSL Housing (OEM)

    I'm looking for just the body-colored housing for an OEM Escalade stop light. I'm hoping someone has one with a bad light or cracked lens that they'd let go for cheap. I don't need the rubber weatherstrip or hardware, either. As long as it's not cracked, I don't care about color, or surface...

    OEM Denali 20" Wheels

    I'm selling the OEM Denali wheels that came on my 2012 Yukon. Includes center caps, valve stems and working TPMS sensors. No corrosion or chrome peeling. They balanced fine. One wheel had a minor ding in the lip, where a previous owner must've run over something. I smoothed it and covered...

    If these were your wheels, what would you do?

    I picked up a used set of these 22" Escalade Platinum wheels for cheap to go on my Yukon. Two of them are good, but two have minor curb rash. After taking the damaged ones to the wheel repair place, I found out the OEM three-stage finish can peel and fade pretty easily (he repairs them for...

    New Style LED Headlights for 07-14 Yukon

    Hi all: I've been searching with no success for different headlights for my '12 Yukon. What I want are ones that include an LED strip kinda like the '15+ Yukon (pictured). But all I can find are ones that mimic the Escalade headlight with a U-shaped strip below each lamp, which I don't...

    Wheel Finish Question

    Hi all: I'm going to look at a set of the GM 2296299 wheels later today. All four are curbed, but the price is cheap. In the photos, the underlying layer below the silver areas is black. Does this mean the silver is a PVD coating? Can this be removed like paint can? I don't want to get...

    Any Differences Between 07-09 and 10-14 Yukon?

    I searched but didn't see an answer: I'm looking at getting a CD ROM FSM for my 2012 Yukon. I've been following a vendor on eBay for these for months. But he is consistently out of stock. He has one for 2007-2009: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173834202082?ul_noapp=true But he doesn't have one...

    Icicle From Rear Door?

    Last night I parked with my Yukon facing downhill, as opposed to where I normally park it in a level spot. It got below freezing last night. When I went to get in this morning, there was a huge icicle hanging from the front edge of the rear driver-side door. We've had tons of rain already...

    Black Bear Tune Review

    Hi all: I had an in-person Black Bear tune in Concord, NC this weekend, and wanted to share my experience. My truck is a 2012 Yukon Denali AWD with 100k miles on it. I elected not to purchase an AutoCal with my tune, reasoning that I had no need to return it to stock (no warranty), and no...

    New Owner Yukon Denali

    Hi all, from Spartanburg, SC: I just bought a 2012 Yukon Denali AWD (with 98k miles) as a replacement for my old 2002 Ford Expedition. My only other experience with a GM truck was a 1996 S-10 I owned years ago. It was a piece of junk. But that's another story for another forum. I've heard...
