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

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe

Thu, Oct 16 2014

BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.

Son surprises his dad by restoring his 1949 pickup for Christmas

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Norman Meal, an 83-year-old retired farmer from Rushville, IN, nearly missed his big Christmas gift when his son, Kyle, first presented it to him. Norman was oblivious and was looking all over the garage floor until Kyle pointed out a satin black pickup with a bow on it parked inside. This wasn't just another case of a child buying a parent a dream vehicle; the '49 GMC sitting there was Norman's very first truck that was restored and ready to drive. According to Fox 59 WXIN, Norman's father purchased the GMC in 1949, and Norman bought it from him in the mid '50s to use on the farm. However, for about the past 13 years, the truck had been rotting away in the garage of one of Kyle's friends. As a perfect gift to his dad, Kyle took the pickup to a restoration shop to make the old vehicle roadworthy again. Practically everything was replaced – except for the horn. Thankfully, Kyle filmed his dad's reaction to getting the GMC. Check it out and watch them take a drive in the heartwarming video above.

GMC Hummer pickup and SUV previewed in video, set to be revealed in fall

Wed, Jul 29 2020

GMC has just provided us with our first good look at the upcoming Hummer EV pickup and SUV. A video was posted online previewing the two models that also happens to feature LeBron James. From clay sculptures to prototypes in various levels of completeness, GM is allowing the world a sneak preview of what’s to come. A couple of the more revealing images come in silhouette photos of both the truck and SUV at the end of the video. The truck has a big four-door crew cab and an exceptionally small bed behind it. The angle from cab to bed is also notable. ItÂ’s not easy to see exactly whatÂ’s going on since itÂ’s shrouded in darkness, but when we saw the Hummer pickup, it was rocking sail panels that resemble the ones on the truck weÂ’re looking at. The truckÂ’s general shape is off-road oriented with squared-off, sharp lines tracing the entire silhouette. Its big, knobby tires and blocky wheels are clear indicators of what GM was aiming for with this electric pickup. As for the SUV, comparisons to the Ford Bronco four-door will be inevitable. If our eyes are picking up the scale of this photo correctly, though, the Hummer SUV appears to be a slightly larger vehicle than the four-door Bronco is. Although, the wheelbase for the SUV is shorter than that of the Hummer truck. ThatÂ’ll help it off-road. Those small bumpers and short overhangs along with the bumper cutouts should be hugely beneficial to approach and departure angles, as well. Hummer EV prototype View 6 Photos GMCÂ’s shots of the Hummer in the studio are equally as revealing. We can see what looks to be an intense front skid plate and two big tow hooks. In addition to the off-road gear, GMC has allowed a look at the frunk. The front “grille” is one piece with the hood of the truck, so the whole assembly pulls up. That makes for what appears to be a very easy-to-load front trunk compared to other EVs that force you to lift items up and over the front of the car. The whole removable roof assembly is exposed in this video, too. We can see the crossbars that the removable panels attach to and also what the truck looks like with the tops removed. The SUV appeared to have removable roof panels from our short glimpse of it in a studio awhile back. Other new details GM mentioned in the video include Adrenaline Mode, Crab Mode and Next-Gen Super Cruise. We donÂ’t know what Adrenaline Mode or Crab Mode do yet, but theyÂ’re certainly off-road modes that GM has designed specifically for this electric Hummer.
