Sorry, but you have to post pics of your truck first.

lol

But seriously, you SHOULD post pics of your truck first!

Weathertech No Drill Splash Guards/Mud Flaps...or you will constantly be fighting junk on your rockers and running boards.

Thank you. Would you recommend the weathertech over Husky?

did not think about mud flaps will look into them. Thank you for the help

I love the weather techs…they are a perfect match for the lower black trim on the vehicle.

Does your truck have fixed or retracting running boards? Mine has retracting, and the WT are really the only viable option. It just so happens that they’re really easy to install and look great, too.

Additionally, the Autostop Eliminator is a definite must-have.

First things I did when our Duramax Denali was new and can’t imagine the truck without them now:
1. Clear LED side marker lights. Or dark if you prefer, just get rid of the orange.
2. Black GMC emblems front and rear
3. Auto-stop Eliminator
4. Ceramic tint all around including windshield (which is imperceptible at 80% light pass-through but massively cuts down on summer heat)
5. Weathertech mud guards
6. Tux Mats in all 3 rows

I think I might be the only one here that likes the red GMC logo(s) on my black truck. My factory black wheels have center caps with red GMC logos, so keeping the grill emblem red on my truck just made sense to me.

...but I DID swap in a [red] ILLUMINATED emblem, and it's awesome. I recommend that if you do swap the grill emblem, you swap it with an illuminated one. (Or don't -- and my truck will just remain that much more unique. lol)

Oh -- and tinting the front windows is the very first thing I did. That's a must.

GMC Puddle Lamp Logos are awesome too, and relatively cheap.

I would add a catch can of some sort to the must haves list.

These are direct injection engines, as such the oil mist in the PCV system ends up glued to the back of the intake valves in short order. A catch can helps remove the oil mist from the PCV gases.

This is the one I purchased, and I believe most others on this forum who’ve done it also bought the same:

Permanently disable auto start stop on your 2021-2026 GMC Yukon / Yukon XL. Keeps your A/C running and your engine ready at every stoplight.

Not that I know of. Just go to https://www.autostopeliminator.com/ and locate the one for your truck. Then, find some threads on here about it, and you'll see that there are some minor differences between trucks' interior trims that should be noted when you go to install the harness.
