New to forum and new to Yukon. I traded my '03 Z06 for an '04 Yukon; life changes, (weeks away from being a new dad) has caused this. In any event, I am doing my best to ease the transition and have looked into mods for the Yukon. The question is, what are the best mods for the money. I.E intake, cat backs, programmer?

 

I actually had an apt. tomorrow to have Flowmaster 40's and a K&N Air intake installed. After reading several posts I cancelled the apt as many of you don’t recommend the Flowmasters. I had Borla Stingers on my Vette and that made a huge difference.

 

So, if you all could pipe up and give some advice based upon cost and performance that would be great. Keep in mind that I am a nooB to the truck/SUV forums and you may have to talk to my level a bit. Also, please provide links to any after market stuff.

 

Thanks guys. I look forward to hearing from you all.

 

Regards,

Volant air intake, Volant air scoop, Denso plugs, Taylor 10.4MM plug wires, and a custom PCM tune did wonders for my SS.

Same here, sold my 97 Z28 6Spd, then my 2000 CBR600F4 and finally my 67 Malibu. :cool:

 

The new GTO's looks really good. Since the death of the F-Body, there is still an American performance RWD vehicle, besides the Corvette.

 

I was not sure if the new GTO had came out, I have not seen one on the street yet.

The 07 GTO will be a new design built on the new Zeta platform. Rumor is there will be a Chevy twin either the Chevelle or Camero.

The GTO started showing up at dealers at the very end of Dec. and not really in any numbers until mid Jan. I got mine in Feb. Including mine there are 4 in the town of 50k I live in. Outside of those I have never seen one on the road; just at shows. It's a fun car and very easy to spend money on :)

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
