    how/where to install "Battery Tender Ring Terminal Quick Disconnect Plug (081-0069-6)

    On my 2003 Yukon Denali, I was planning to hook up my "Battery Tender Ring Terminal Quick Disconnect Plug (081-0069-6)" to my battery, but the holes in the device's ring terminals were too small for our battery post terminal bolts. Has anyone installed one of these battery tender quick...

    new to soldering: stepper motor replacement

    I have a 2003 Yukon Denali, and the stepper motor for my battery gauge has died. I would like to do the repair myself. Based on the research I've done so far, I'm leaning towards replacing all 7 stepper motors while I have the instrument cluster out. Not sure if I'll bother with the bulbs...

    attempting my first brake fluid flush

    Way back in 2009, I ordered 2 liters of "Super Blue Racing" Dot 4 brake fluid with the intention of flushing the brakes on my 2003 Yukon Denali myself. Long story short, due to unexpected life events, I ended having having the work done by my mechanic. Well, I'm due for another flush. This...

    anyone use a roof cargo box carrier on your SUV?

    This summer, we plan to take the kids and the dog on our first long road trip. Because we won't be able to stack much of our crap on top of the dog, this means that pretty much half of our trunk cargo space will be unusable. Therefore, I'm trying to look into roof-top cargo box carriers for...

    alternatives to Gianelle Steep 6?

    So far, this is my favorite look for the Yukon Denali: Unfortunately, these wheels are ~$500/ea, so they're out of my budget. I know I'm pushing my luck, but I'll try anyway: For those of you who are familiar with after market wheels, do you know of any that look similar to the...

    ride quality: 20" vs 22" wheels

    Hi again. To date, I've been researching 20" wheels for my 2003 Yukon Denali. I had not been considering 22" wheels because I heard the ride is too harsh with 305/40R22 tires. However, I just came across an offer that seems just too good to ignore: A new set of 22" U2-55s for $880 + tax...

    Again..wheel/tires, sizes and looks.

    Looks good! Unless the rears don't stick out by the same amount?

    Again..wheel/tires, sizes and looks.

    I currently have my stock wheels, but I personally like the "sticking out" look...as long as it's not extreme. Can you post pics?

    storing 3rd row seats?

    My attic currently has plenty of space, too. but these seats are quite heavy. I can't imagine I'd be able to carry them up a ladder. How do you get yours up into the attic?

    storing 3rd row seats?

    I typically don't keep my 3rd row seats in my SUV because I pretty much never need to transport more than 4 people at a time. So, my 3rd row seats spend the majority of time on my garage floor. My seats are sitting side-by-side, so I no longer have enough space in the garage to park 2 cars...

    Paint Protection Film for Yukon/Tahoe?

    I just got a quote from a local (San Jose, CA) clear bra installer: $800 for my 2003 Yukon Denali. Just curious what you guys paid in your neck of the woods.

    07' wheels on an 00-06??????

    Thanks bud. I still haven't had any luck finding the offset for the 00-06's.... I was hoping to use that info to figure out which wheels would give me ~2" of tire sticking out of my '03 wheel wells. Does anyone know I can figure this out without my current offset info? (Also, other than my...

    navigation system: clock resets itself to wrong time zone

    I'm in the P.S.T time zone, and I reside in northern CA. Problem: The Navigation System on our 2003 Yukon Denali resets itself to the C.S.T time zone. According to the previous owner, this happened to him roughly 8 times a year. (He was honest enough to share this with me prior to my...

    intermittent shudder during right turns?

    Thanks for the feedback, fellas. Bahollis--Do you happen to remember roughly how much you paid to have your wheel bearings fixed? Also, did you end up replacing both fronts, or just the bad one? Based on what I learned today after some googling, it sounds like front wheel bearings should be...
