Just pulled the trigger on 2011 Denali XL what should I add?

Why go through the expense and hassle? It's Missouri, not Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, or North Dakota. The truck is all wheel drive and just about any all season tire will work fine in the ~4-6“ of snow we might see once or twice a year.

Oh, the latest navigation disc, goes behind the screen, was released in 2016. We've been bugging GM and Here! (formerly Navteq) to release a new update but no luck so far. We should probably band together and hit them all at once.

Get this too, makes relearning the sensor positions a whole lot easier!

Any idea what this other tool (GL-50448) is for?

I think that is for vehicles where the sensors have to be programmed to the vehicle. My daughter replaced all of her Kia's sensors and has to go to the dealer to have them learned to the car. Not as simple as ours.

Add the Tahoe/Suburban front end and get rid of the hideous mini van look of the GMC... lol

Check to see if your rear air shocks are blown and the compressor is working. Hint, start the car and then step out by the rear tire drivers side you should here th compressor run for 10 seconds...

Very nice! These were the last of the AWD. Definitely a solid truck, that 6.2 is nearly bulletproof if maintained. I would watch those CV joints since it looks lifted. Other than that enjoy!

Mine doesn't look like a mini van. I don't think?

Welcome! What part of Mid-MO are you in? I’m in Columbia! Definitely looks as though someone has installed a ‘front leveling kit’ on it...usually just a 1-1/2 ~ 2” spacer on the front.

As far as tint...I have 5% over factory tint on all windows behind driver/passenger (looks very dark from outside but from inside it’s hard to tell there is much added tint - great for privacy)...in front I have 35% on driver, passenger, AND windshield. Have never been pulled over for tint or even looked at in 4.5 years - and I travel for work and put on ~ 60K miles annually. With the windshield tinted and 5% everywhere else it makes the driver/passenger ‘look darker’ but isn’t. Everyone is amazed I had the windshield tinted but from the inside looking out you can not tell there is any tint on the windshield (buddies riding with me don’t even notice the windshield has been tinted..even when driving at night) but it makes a huge difference in eye strain and UV protection inside! If I had it to do over again I’d go 25% on the windshield!

If your local maybe we will cross paths somewhere.

The darker headlights definitely helps the looks of it.

The Yukon headlights just look like big bug eyes to me.

Nice pull on the truck. Acres of black paint that’s practically immune from door dings makes black one of my favorite colors.

Amazon is the quickest and easiest way to get the headphones and remote for the system. The majority of the sellers list the compatibility pretty accurately. If possible find a version that had a wired headphone port built in. It enables the rear occupants to plug into the front head unit to access and control AM, FM, XM, CD / MP3 & the hard drive, if equipped through the small display screen at the back of the center console.

Hit the OnStar button and ask for an advisor. Get a free 90 day subscription to get you the free lock out / unlock, jump start, towing and directions fed into the DIC / Speedo display or directly into the Navi unit itself. They’ll give you a free cell # and a few 100 min too for asking. Call SiriusXM and get a free trial. There’s still a promo for $99 for 3 years if you insist enough.

Hmm ... 2011. I wonder if you have a hard drive based Navi unit? Does your back up camera have the lines the curve when the wheel turns & “i” button on the unit? If so, this Navi unit is a huge plus.

* Get your fluids changed if there’s no history
* Add the HVAC filter kit.
* Add sunshade ASAP if no dash cracking
* Make a friend at a paint shop to remedy clear coat
* Got remote start? Regardless buy 2nd and / or 3rd key & fob. Sucks to pay gouge prices when keys are lost. Amazon may sell OBD kit to program both.
* OEM type Mud flaps. Look good & saves paint.
* Have tire shop pull spare tire and lube the mech to ensure it’s not seized and tire isn’t trashed.
* Buy mechanics gloves, plastic tarp and blanket to stuff in rear jack compartment. Verify there’s a complete jack in there. The tarp is to keep u off snow / ice / mud and wrap flat tire in so u can bug out. OEM jack sucks but better that nothing in the sticks.
* Enjoy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the family you made really happy!

Nice truck. I got one very similar. You will love it. I've had zero problems with mine other than just doing regular and preventative maintenance
