2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

[tgui]

My guesstimate on where the wideband sensor needs to go was spot on. Tons of room above the driveshaft.

I also found a probable cause to my exhaust leak and pissed off O2 readings. I dropped and didn't install the metal donut gasket to the manifold on the driver's side. Oops.

So I tried quality ac Delco rotors and pads. They made it a little over a year before getting warped.

This time im trying raybestos rotors and Bosch ceramic pads. I hope they last longer.

if you don't want them to get warped, don't drive threw water then when they are hot..

So don’t drive in the rain and hit any puddles..... ever

It's more that I need to be more careful torquing my wheels.

I was kidding

Ohh I know. I do know how I ****** up! ;-)

deep enough to touch the rotors

so a inch or two is fine

Turns out the upstream sensor I installed was from my old gmt800 Yukon. Not compatible. CEL thrown.

95F and %100 humidity today, but fixed. Ick, those welds!

i wasnt gonna to post some mine but if thats what passes around here i dont feel so bad

A-hole. ;-)

I can do better. This was partly the case of not giving a shit.

If mine were any better there'd be pics lol. I've got the same problem, all my actual welder friends take so fookin long to get anything done I'd rather do it myself and be done with a project instead of waiting an extra 2 weeks

When I add a bung on my kooks headers I'll get a pro.

 

[tgui]

Got my kooks headers and green cats.

Nice

Cool

I need to add a wideband bung

 

[tgui]

Testing fitting the headers. I finally got the old stock ones out. Another O2 sensor stripped out. Sigh.

I'm concerned about the O2 sensor hitting the body like the speed engineering headers.

 

[tgui]

My full compliment of O2 sensors came in. I'm starting from scratch. All OEM. Maybe I'll be done in the next week?

 

[tgui]

Drivers side header with new gasket and new o2 sensor in place. Not torqued...

I wish I had more than 30min every 3 days or so....

EDIT: To add. Unlike the speed engineering headers I did not have to remove the steering shaft with the kooks headers.

 

[Smiley3303]

Very cool. Tuned in to see the end result.

Thanks! I know I'm slow Grown up life yo.....

Got the passenger side in. Note that the starter cable needs to be moved and the upstream O2 sensor wire needs to be carefully placed over the header.

 

[tgui]

Spark plug wires were getting too close to the headers. I had to get some fiber glass boot covers.
