Hello all,

I've been a long time Hummer H2 owner and recently sold it in favor of a 2019 Yukon Graphite Edition with the 6.2L. I absolutely love it! Plans are to go with a Whipple blower, headers and exhaust and then big brake upgrade. I loved the Hummer's hydro boost but can't say I'm thrilled with teh Yukon conventional vacuum system.

I've been looking and can not get a handle on if a HD hood will fit the Yukon. Sorry if its been asked before but that's the only cosmetic change I would make. I can graft a HD skin on if needed but hopefully there's an easier route.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon and please post pics.

There are some threads here about swapping in a hydro-boost system. I went from an 02 with vacuum brakes and my Z71 has Hydro-boost. Big difference, IMO.

i bet the HD hood would require a lot of grafting work.

none were interested. 1 was looking into the esky, but they havent done anything yet.

Just added a Diablo I3 tuner. It makes a big difference. I'll drive it a week or so and then get it tweaked. I'm extremely happy with the truck so far.

Diablo is great because you can add a custom tune. I just swaped the 91+ diablo tune for the 87 tune. I increased the throttle to +14%, removed afm, and it actually runs better than the diablo with afm. I think throttle response and afm are the biggest factors in driveability with tuning. There is a mod that shims the gas pedal for even better response which I will try once my custom pedals come in...
