Onebad1983's 2005 Yukon 2WD Build Thread

Well it's 240k miles so I would expect it to be pretty greasy

Hey we both in the 240k tahoe/Yukon gang lol. Mines gets a retarded amount of miles every week though so 250k should be in just a couple months.

That's really not to bad for the amount of miles. Cheapest thing to do is go to a pay and spray car wash. Use the tire cleaner mode as the degreaser and then the Hot clear coat mode to steam it off. Do that a couple times and it will be mint.

I bought the one from axxess and no sound from the rear entertainment system. Any ideas on how to get audio? I really don't want to spend out more money on boxes and harnesses.

Well first thing I'm doing is resealing the diff cover, and then refilling my rear end dope with the proper positraction additive. But, yes, I will do a deep clean of the whole truck, including the engine bay, eventually

She got a G80?

Yessir she does. And 3.73s Why do you think I had to replace my tires after only having them on for 2 years. I like to party

They say burnouts cure Corona so keep it up lol.

Well when I can't drive anywhere that's not much use. Also I just put on a set of brand new tires so I'm gonna wait a little while before I start going crazy again. In the dry anyways

2 yrs is actually a long time. I've burned tires up in a month--when I was much younger

Two years is a really long time for tires for me. But that’s because I love in the mountains and the windy roads eat through tire tread like crazy. My nitto dura grapplers that just came off in January lasted just over two years and I was amazed. Lol. That’s a really long time I’m tired for me!

 

[Dantheman1540]

Jeez I must not be as wild as I think. I'm about due for new 33s on my RCSB and I've had them for nearly 4 years now. Granted I always have a minimum of 2 vehicles sometimes 3 or 4 to spread daily driver duties to. But that will be the first set of tires I've purchased new and run completely dead. I suppose its also the only vehicle I've kept for more than a year or 2.

Back in your day you probably had a clutch to assist with that half the teenagers these days don't even know how to drive stick, including me sadly. But at least I WANT to learn

 

[Onebad1983]

Also I know some people don't like it but I'm keeping the white letters out on the tires. Also I'm beginning to think about lowering this thing, if I end up doing it I'm probably gonna go with a @NORCAL SS kit with helper bags, so I'm starting to look at different wheels. Leave me some suggestions and I'll check them out. Here's a few that I'm thinking about right now.

I could do a silver birch metallic GMC version of @Fosscore's 'Hoe...

Can't get any more pictures rn. Gimme a minute

 

[Onebad1983]

I also quite like how this looks

I'd also really like to find a set of these...

 

[Dantheman1540]

I think lowered with newer style wheels is a great option!

 

[Onebad1983]

That's what I was thinking. I just don't think the wheels that are on it now would look right lowered lol

You don’t even know how to drive a manual?!?! What kinda country boy are you?!?! Hahah

22" TBSS reps are always a win and pretty much all newer gen wheels are worn better by the older gens! Them stock GMC wheels are one of my favs and can be had for a few hundred bucks. I was gonna say you could be a badass and rock some de-clads. But, not able to drive a stick precludes you from badass status, ma'am.

Ouch that Ma'am comment is painful!


But I have to agree. As someone who owns only Hispanic gearboxes I think of all the auto people as lesser beings. Even though autos are faster, more consistent, more convenient and once built correctly more reliable. It's just not as fun to me.
