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

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024

Fri, May 31 2024

As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
