Thanks 14GMC14 for sharing all of the info and the pics!

I have a customer with a 2016 Yukon XL Denali that we supercharged last year & he wants to do this hood swap, but anybody know if the 2500HD hood dimensionally will fit onto the 2016 Yukon Denali?...or are we looking at a slice & dice to morph the two together?

So far the dealers and other sources have been a lot of no-help and just hoping to figure it out without having to actually get in a hood to physically check....Thanks in advance!

I am fairly certain that the hoods are completely different. You'd probably be better off grabbing another stock Yukon hood and do custom work on that to add the vent (whether the OE HD truck vent or an aftermarket).

Picked it up last Friday, I think it looks great. Went in a 2015 and came out a 2018.....

Almost done; I received this picture today from the shop. I'll take more pictures once I pick it up.

Did the shop try and fit the hood on the 14-15 front end to see how the fitment would be?

I don’t believe so but I’ll ask them.

so I was able to look at these trucks side by side, yeah, not even close....it would require a complete front clip swap & heavy mods on top of that....too steep for the customer at this point, at least bang for buck....doing some more to the motor and increasing boost for now

My 15 Silverado (non Diesel) looks great with this hood. I went non chrome grill

I did a direct bolt on. I already had a K&N Filter Cold Air Kit installed. I did install the hood with all the duct work. I had no clearance problems. I have a supercharger installed so the top of the engine is a little lower, but it was not difficult task no fitment issues.
