    What are the most comfortable replacement shocks

    I want to replace my shocks. I am not looking for performace, rather comfort. I no longer tow and will not be going off road. I am just looking for a luxury ride feel. Yes I know it is a SUV, but if possible I would like to attain the most comfortable soft ride I can. Thanks

    I just developed a loud engine knocking/metal slapping sound on start up on the drivers side toward back of engine. It is loud at the begining of start up then goes away. It returns after I shut off the engine and restart if it has been sitting for a while. I cant think of anything I did...

    What size tire to get?

    I am running 305/50 Yokohama Geolanders on 20" rims. I am debating whether to go smaller width to save gas, go taller for more ride comforts since I lost sidewall going from 16" to 20". My set up right now is already 2.5" taller than stock diameter, giving me the difference in side wall by...

    Shocks or springs, which to replace

    I have a 00 yukon xl and in Dec of 2004 I had the shocks replaced when they replaced my engine a week before I got deployed to Iraq, long story as to how I got to that point. Well I did not see the truck after it was done until a year later. I can see that there are new shocks installed but...

    Need to identify a part

    Thanks, but it is not the rubber hose at the TB. Although the hose on the right joins a metao pipe/hose and it is that 3 way metal pipe/hose that I either need to replace or get a gasket for it.

    Need to identify a part

It feeds off the ruber hose coming directly off the Throttle body. This metal hose branches off into three...

    Fog Light Mod

    Is there a way to keep fog lights on all the time the cars on or at least come on automatically when the headlights are on. Versus having to manually press the button each time.

    Replacing Instrument Cluster

    Thank you, I just learned that 03 and beyond have to be programed to match vin. Since mine is a 2000, if I was to replace it with one from a 00-02 would it still need programing?

    Replacing Instrument Cluster

    My Cluster went out and I can get one a junk yard off a 03. My question is the odometer reading. Right now I have 180K on my odometer and the one from the junk yard has 107K. Will my original 180K display or the 107K? Is there a tamper light etc. On my BMW the pixels went out and eventually...

    Denali parts

    Does anyone know where you can get the side molding/accents for Denali XL. I love my yukon xl, dont want or need to trader her in but a couple of mods will make her new again to me. I recently just had the front seats recovered and installed molded dark grey burl wood panels through out. I...

    To cover or not to cover

    I dont have the measurments but with the xl, it took up space from garage door to wall and I parked close enough to drivers wall to get out, the BMW get slightly more room since it is used more, but there is no way I could fit the cart inside.
