starts out like ad ad for the vehicle rather than focus on the trip, and only 6 min long, hmmmmm i didn't watch it,

Transmission cost ?

Always nice work. 😮 expensive rig to start though

Hey! What control arms do y’all use when yall lift the suburban? I lifted mine but the OEM control arms are shot now from the 3 inch lift

Would also like to know what leveling kit is on this truck, thanks

👍👍

I can't wait to see what you do with this one. There is so much room.

This build would probably be about $20k

Nice and it still seats 5

Great video. I'll be interested to see how these hold up. Some day I may want/need to replace our 05 Burb...or I may not! 😂

I have an 01 in the midwest,well over 300k miles on it! I love this truck, however I don't expect it to live forever. I may upgrade to an 05 later.

Love the videos! 227,000 miles on our 10th gen. Bought brand new and it’s taken 5 kids home from the hospital. Couldn’t ask for more.

I have an 05 Yukon Xl with the 5.3L that I bought a year ago with only 107k miles! I put a torsion key lift about 2.5 inches with Rancho shocks all around on 33" tires. I love these trucks, and you are correct they are damn near bulletproof and probably the most reliable generation that GM built.

Do you delete the arm/dod ?

We picked up this exact Suboverland on July 18th! We missed you Grady 😕 Anyway, we had a blast traveling through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming eventually to Pennsylvania and are looking forward to many more adventures in our Suboverland!

I own a 2009 Yukon XL (not denali), overall very very pleased, had about 115'000 miles, gets better gas mileage than I'd hoped, previous owner kept it in top shape. My only issues are the battery dies overnight and we can't figure out why, probably a parasitic draw, I turned off dome lights and everything, still does it once in a while, the mechanic says nothing is wrong with the battery but I will change it eventually for something of higher performance. And the other thing is the fuel burning, makes a lot of smoke once in a while, I put fuel cleaner, probably that fuel management issue. Interior pretty nice, just the driver's seat needs a little repair. I removed the 2 back rows of seats to make a camper, put in a floor with a 5 inch step in the middle, it's ok, looks cute, get a lot of compliments, but the ceiling is too low on these vehicles, gets claustrophobic to sleep in. Wish I could raise the roof by a foot. Thanks for the review.

Worst interiors IMO. The dashes crack, almost the same spot in each one. The front seat leathers holds up pretty well but the hooks at the outside bottom corner comes loose and you’ll usually see the foam hanging out. Inside of the steering wheel, around the controls, there is this plasti-dip type material that flakes off. The feel overall of the panels is a cheap plastic feel versus the previous generation or the new gens. The 5.3 went to AFM and when it gets some miles on it, it’ll begin using oil. I’ve owned a few Silverados/Sierras on this platform and all used at least a qt between oil changes, although it didn’t seem to impact the reliability…one Silverado had 289k miles when I sold it.

Good stuff Grady. I'm sticking with my '99 2500 Suburban until I find that unicorn with the six speed and non AFM motor! Thanks for sharing.

Great information 🍻

How do you guys do lifts on these trucks?

Do yall add extra batteries and upgrade alternator??

Youve gotta let me teach you more on the 6.5L Detroit diesel 😂

Ive got a 98’ K2500 Suburban w/ built 6.5L Diesel bored .30 so now its a 6.6L .. Fass fuel/air separator, hx40 turbo all sorts of good stuff which ive done.. but 3.73 gears on 35’s i avg 20mpg hwy, get around 700 miles per tank of fuel if im sticking strictly hwy.. longest trip on a single tank ive done was Newport News Virginia to Jacksonville Florida on a single tank of fuel and was still able to drive around the following day before filling up again

What's the height difference in 3/4 ton vs the 1/2 ton?

👍

Hey I’ve got the same model. What would you recommend for a brake/brake booster upgrade? Not seeing the dual diaphragm upgrade for this year anywhere.

If you were to do this for a customer, how much would the total be all in all with the new tires, shocks, rims, and so on?

This is what I’m thinking

i was offered a 8th gen 1500 for free with a bad trans, runs and drives fine with OD off, shudders when shifting into OD. no body rust, but some other minor issues (fuel gauge/sender). Think this is a good starting point, or find another?

ill commet an like ever video if you can help me out with some knowledge 😂😂😂😂😂😂

also tranny fluid kinda old best to leave it alone ?

can u ask you a question? i have a bottom end tick . is this common on this motors 6.0 ? 245,000 how worried should i be ? should i use lucus oil treatment or just stick with 5w or 10w im sure is the bottom end bearings making the sound no check engine light. would it be ok for me to actually drive it pass 3,000 rpm 😂😂😂😂

also i have a bottom end tick .is this common on this motors ?? how worried should i be . im sure it the bottom end bearings would it be ok for me to actually drive it pass 3,000 rpm 😂😂😂😂

I have a question??? 245,000 would you change transmission fluid .my fluid looks old no issues with transmission temp looks good. is it best to just leave it alone or can i dump an fill i cant afford any issues 😂😂😂 so best tk leave it alone ??

Great vid minus the stupid song 🤣

That’s what I need

Thanks man

Where did you get the carpet kit?

I have that same truck. Z71. Upgraded with the off road look. Love these trucks.

Any idea where i can get a grill guard for this exact vehicle

Almost perfect, but badly missing the running boards

Love our 06 GMC yukonXL 1500, #149. 2+ yrs later, no major issues. The airbag light just came on, might be a loose wire or sensor any ideas? Only thing couldn’t figure out where water is leaking to the back trunk, not the ac so it maybe when we hand opened the ceiling fan. Note to self to always close the fan with the remote so it locks down or it flaps up on the hwy. would love the option to rhino-paint this thing! I’d love to buy another! So comfy and perfect height!

How do you guys anchor the side storage walls

Can you do a lift if it’s all time four wheel drive

This is the exact setup I’m looking to do on my 2003 Yukon XL. What torsion key set did you end up using to get the leveling right? And did you do new coils up front in addition to the bilstien 5100?

Another solid video, Just straight to the point with everything! We released a portable jump starter. Can we invite you to do a review? We have emailed for an inquiry.

I picked up a 99' ZR2 Blazer and replaced the G80 with an Auburn Gear elocker as soon as possible. When a G80 locks it puts all the inertia of the spinning wheel on a tiny metal catch in the diff all at once. It's designed to stop people from spinning their wheels on slippery boat ramps not for having a wheel in the air spinning. Just something to keep in mind.

What Dometic is being shown in this video?

You're spreading lies about twenty miles per gallon😂 Even my tiny little silverado never got twenty

My 2002 Suburban Z71 4x4 with 235k. Everything works and running strong
