Can't seem to find what year and model you're working on. Where is the compressor compartment in the photo located?

Thanks much to all for the replies. I appreciate it. I have to say I really like my Yukon. Took a 3,000 mile trip towing a trailer to pick up a "parts car" to finish my street rod. The 6.2L engine is impressive! BTW, I signed up for a monthly donation to the site. Does anyone know if it...

I have a "new to me" 2014 Yukon Denali SUV with around 45K miles. I notice that quite often when the engine is started the volt meter shows what appears to be less than 13V. It continues that way for quite a while, then jumps up to 14+V. I stopped by the local dealer when it was showing the...

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate it very much. It took some work, but I got it done by using a Curt short bar WDH and CURT Weight Distribution Shank #17125. I had to add 3 additional adjustment holes and cut about 2 1/2" off the bottom. Just got back from a 3000 mile trip towing my...

Does the vehicle have a coil spring rear suspension with the air shock providing the leveling adjustment? What would happen if I pulled the fuse for the pump? Thanks, I appreciate your input.

Can you tell me how to do that?

My newly acquired Yukon is equipped with auto leveling rear suspension. Today I measured the hitch receiver dimension between my 05 Envoy and the Yukon. The receiver on the Yukon is 3" higher off the ground than the Envoy's. My enclosed car trailer is a tandem axle trailer with no provision...

I see that they make 2 WB lengths. The Yukon w/ 116" and the XL w/130". Why would the longer WB reduce towing capacity? Which would tow noticeably better it at all?

I've been towing with a 05 Envoy Denali. 5.3 w/ a 3.42 axle. Our trailer weight is 4500 dry. When it's loaded up and excess is the rear of the Envoy I would guess weight is 6500+. Acceleration and sway control is just OK, not great, so I'm looking to go to something larger, with a longer WB...

Having just gone thru this exercise, the best advice I got was to measure the trailer (frame to ground) in the front and rear. The front should be at least 1" lower than the rear. Mine was too high and the trailer wandered and the load on the rear trailer tires was way too much. Hope this helps.

Thank you!

So, if I understand you. At 100K miles do the front wheel bearings need to be greased during a brake job? Thanks

I have a 2005 Envoy (Denali) 2WD and the 5.3L V-8 with 95K miles on it. I bought it about 6 months ago and I am the second owner. I recently had an oil change at the dealership prior to leaving on a 3000 mile trip towing a 22' camping trailer. I happened to check the oil at about the 1/2 point...

I have a 2005 Envoy (Denali) 2 WD w/95000 miles. I am the second owner. Went to the local parts store this AM to buy a set of pads and inner grease seals. The parts guy said it list 2 different seals, 1 right and1 left. I never have heard of that before. He kept referring to "axle" seals...
