2003 Yukon XL Denali that I swapped an LLY Duramax turbo diesel & Allison 1000 into.
This combination was never offered from GM. They never brought their great Duramax Turbo Diesel engine into their
full size SUV line-up.
Yukon XL had 156k on it before the swap, and is in very respectable condition. Paint is metallic gray with light
gray two tone interior. Exterior and interior of my Yukon is really nice. There are a few minor cosmetic blemishes,
a few paint scratches and very minor dings, but overall the vehicle is in quite good shape. It is loaded like all
the Denalis are, heated front and rear seats, power leather, DVD player, BOSE sound system, Dual-zone HVAC with
rear A/C system, OnStar, XM, etc. This is a 2nd row bench configuration.
The engine was out of a 2005 Silverado 2500HD, with 109k on it now. Same for the Allison transmission and 11.5"
rear axle.
I really took my time doing this swap, there was a lot of work involved.
These Denali package Yukons come only as half tons, so I purchased a 3/4 ton frame to hold the Yukon and the
Duramax together. This gives the vehicle a full 3/4 ton frame, suspension, axles & brakes so that it is truly
capable of handling heavy loads the Duramax was designed to pull. The rear axle is from the Silverado, so it is the
11.5" GM 14-bolt full floating axle with a mechanical locker.
This vehicle has already gone through a Washington state inspection and I have all paperwork in hand to transfer a
free and clear title into the new owner's name.
Specs:
Body: 2003 Yukon XL Denali
Engine: 2005 (LLY) Duramax turbo diesel (305hp - 605lb-ft)
Transmission: Allison 1000 5-speed automatic
Rear Axle: 11.5" GM 14 bolt full float 3.73 ratio with G80 locker
Front Axle: 9.5" IFS
265/75R16 Mud Terrain tires with lots of tread left.
Frame: 3/4 ton
Vehicle is fully serviced and ready to go. I replaced the problematic GM transmission cooler lines with Alligator
performance lines that won't leak, it has fresh oil & filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid and filter, and fresh
engine coolant.
100% transparency on this sale. There is currently a small oil leak. I've just been too busy to look at it.
These low mileage pre-2007 emissions diesels are getting tough to find. This Duramax has no DPF, no DEF fluid, no
SCR. No emissions headaches to worry about. Just tons of power, excellent reliability and great mileage.
Everything on this rig works, and works well. Seats 8 people in comfort, and would safely and easily tow 12k lbs up
over the pass.
A/C just recharged.
Fuel economy on this rig is excellent, relatively speaking. With a conservative driver, expect about 15 in town,
and 22 on the highway. I've been averaging about 19.5 on my work commute of a mix of stop and go and highway. Road
trip steady cruising at 60-65mph, I've seen 24MPG. That's really good considering what this vehicle is capable of.
This LLY Duramax is mostly stock and untouched. The only non-stock parts are a cold air intake, and a 4" exhaust.
No software reprogramming has been done. Runs very well. Pulls strong just like it should.
This is a very rare find. I've built a couple of these swaps, never on a Denali before.
Serious inquiries only. This vehicle is located in Monroe, Washington state

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
