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

[tgui]

**** these lines. **** being covered in dirt and oil. **** this. Back at it tomorrow.

****. You.

 

[tgui]

I have the 2 main lines in place. A few things will help the install.

- drink and cuss

- tape up the ends of the lines to keep shit out

- make sure the old gasket on the trans isn't still stuck on

- remove passenger side diff bolts and let it hang

- where the one one line meets the trans cooler, I cut out a larger hole for it to fit through. It's got a nasty big 90 degree bend. If not a larger hole you'll need to bend the hard line a bit.

The amount I sawzalled out.

 

[tgui]

All lines in. Tested. No leaks.

Now to work on the passenger strut to make it new like the drivers.

Then rear air suspension.

Gotta be ready for the winter months.

 

[tgui]

Passenger side out! Rebuild Thursday.

Not much time tonight.

I was able to get a new exhaust hanger in place. Without one between the ypipe muffler, there is too much sag and flex. Probably not good for the ypipe as well.


Is it ghetto if it works?

Also, I love this damn tool

That Milwaukee is slick. Where'd you get it?

Amazon, got a gift card. I bet you can find it cheaper somewhere else.

Its soooo worth it. The best part is if the motor isnt strong enough to remove a bolt you can use it like a regular ratchet! Hand loosen, then use the motor.

[tgui]

In! Had 20 min.

 

[tgui]

Drive shaft, end links, covers, etc all done.

I just noticed my rear air shocks are blown... soooo that's next. ****.

I can't believe I did a 8000 mile road trip last summer. Lol

 

[tgui]

Uhhgg so quiet. I'll have to put the resonator delete back on.

The extra cat I'm now running is keeping things quiet I think. Too lazy to remove.

 

[tgui]

She moves! Very smooth. The old front shocks were dead. Still very quiet. Also the h3 mounts are smooth.

I will!

As a matter of fact I finally passed emissions.

 

[tgui]

Cold weather here and iced up door. I ripped my door handle off. That was neat. I already installed a replacement for $23. Easy job.

 

[tgui]

It's goddamn cold. Last time it was this bad last year my trans lines shrunk and pissed oil. New one are good!

Rear main is another story.

 

[tgui]

My rear shocks were shot. They never leveled out. Turns out the bags on my shocks were torn.

 

[tgui]

BTW the ride is amazing now.

 

[05Single]

I know the feeling. Just replaced mine. Went from riding in a horse and carriage to riding in a truck with new shocks lol
