Looking forward to more pics and progress on your mods! I have an 02 with a blower and a few other things. This generation is an awesome platform.

I`m also a big car audio fan, and with these vehicles, the possibilities are endless. I took away the factory radio, the 6 disc changer and the 3rd rear seats for my car audio system. Planning to change the head unit to a more sophisticated version with more features. This one is showing it`s age haha:

I usually do away with third row seat anyway. Everyone looks at me funny when I buy Suburbans, because i'm by myself and don't really need the room. I just like those brutes. And if I get tired of the ride, I'll take out one of my bikes.

I don't quite get into modding my cars engines. I'm more into cosmedics and ad-ons. My last ride was a 2014 SRT8 6.4L Core. Had a six spd. I redid the exhaust from catback with Full Boars to 3" pipes to 4" types. Had CAI with ram air. Barton Shifter and a Diablo/Preditor Program. I have at Idle a bit over 500hp and 425hp to the wheels. Just a guess though, never ran Diagnostics. That's the one I use for my Avatar for now until I get the Denali looking better. That was my bike trailer puller until I got this Denali. When I tow, I'm in a hurry... :Big Laugh:
Below I'm showing 2 projects I did to match my Challengers.

Love the SRT’s and bikes. I got into Harleys for awhile, both their V-Rods and their baggers. I just sold my last V-Rod to a big shot in Miami for $22k. It was heavily modded. I built a 2016 Street Glide that was almost new when I bought it and when I was done the only thing left that was HD was the frame and engine. That bike was totaled when a car whipped out right in front of me and stopped. I t-b*ned him and broke both my shoulders which made me give up riding. I got the $50k back I had into that bike through my uninsured motorist coverage since dude had no license or insurance. My replacement hobby atm is my bagged and bodied 2008 Silverado. Here’s a shot of it as I’m sitting on my front porch tonight.

I think you have a cowl hood on it if it's the same as the pic in your signature. How tall is the cowl. I want to order one. Had one on my 98' and 97' subs. I really liked the look. 2"....?
I’m not sure. It’s a Goodmark.

Anyone know if the 06' Yukon XL Denali came with air shocks and an onboard compressor for ride adjustment? Thks

Yes, almost 100%. Look at your RPO code inside your glovebox. Z55 means autoride/ self leveling.

Ok saw that today. Now is there a way to over-ride the auto system. Just curious. I do love the ride. Also was wondering if I'd have to do away with it to add a 3" front and 2" rear lift?

Yes you can delete the system but if it’s still working, there’s no need. You can buy some threaded rod and lengthen the ride height sensor rods. I used some small metric bolts with matching thread and cut the heads off, then used them to make shortened ones when I lowered mine. I like having the auto leveling when I’m towing or loaded. There’s a ton of how-to on YT about this.

Coming along really nice and looks like it'll be bright inside during the day. As for torquing by hand, could you not set the cordless screw driver to lowest torgue...?

Haha. You commented before I realized I posted that in the wrong thread.! I moved it to “what are you up to”.

Anyway, no that doesn’t work. That’s what I have it set to but depending on the hardness of the wood in each particular location it either over or under drives it. The rubber washer is supposed to just touch the surface and start to compress but not be squished. They’re touchy.
