Hopefully the purchase process will go smoothly and I can post pictures!

I've been reading here for awhile, figured it was about time to sign up and post.

I think it's gloss black

Beautiful! I have never owned a black car before and have allways wanted one, It is just a simple reality of ownership in regard to these vehicles, Aliexpress "tech2" $285. Just buy one and get it headed your way. Once again congrats

GMC calls it Onyx Black and if it were a Cadillac it would be called Black Raven! Chevrolet's marketing boys were less imaginative, they call it Black.

Yeah, that's the word I was looking for, Onyx. My 2011 Denali was Onyx Black. My 2012 is Carbon Black Metallic, not as black, more of a dark grey/black with metallic flake.

Yes! You're Carbon Black is a great color, only 8% of Yukons got that color that year. Onyx was the most popular, nearly 30%.

Yes, just a few weeks in now and we're loving it.
Between cub scouts and my kid's friends we are really enjoying the added space.

Love the growl of the 6.2 ....... trying to decide if/when to AFM delete and tune it.
I made the mistake of watching videos of te 6.2 with a supercharger! ;-)

Before you tune, dial in your suspension and make your final wheel/tire choice. Brake choice is a good starting point. You can see the cause and effect on upcoming mods if realistic braking is done first.

Unlike a tune, the brakes and suspension can get you out of trouble as well as make the ride amazing 100% of the time. The tune is good for momentary adrenaline.

When the brakes, suspension and tune are committed to a plan, you can schedule the upgrades into planned maintenance. This saves dough, especially if you have a shop do the upgrades. If you commit hard enough you can shop the holiday sales and classifieds for the parts.

The goal in all of this is making sure you don’t end up with redundancy in upgrade stages. If you later want a resale that’s built to recoup all or more than you invested, it’s possible. That’s where shopping the hell out of your parts comes into play as well as integrating your regular service labor into upgrade labor.
