Fuel mileage with a 8.1 and 4.10s is very comparable to a 6.0 and 4.10s (pretty lousy but neither was built for economy). I would absolutely buy another 8.1.

Do you happen to know what AN adapters are required for gmt800 hydroboost? Now that I have the engine oil cooler lines fixed, the power steering is leaking BAD! The stupid part is I really considered keeping the two hoses because I had a feeling I wasn't done with this, but we were moving...

As above, synflex air brake tubing. It's cheap, readily available and easy to work with. It's fairly abrasion resistant. It does not tolerate heat well.

Hey Larry, do you have a permanent solution for leaking engine oil cooler lines? I'm debating cutting the hoses off the steel lines and installing hydraulic hose with Mikalor clamps. I replaced the two hydroboost pressure lines this spring, and appears one is leaking already, so that's going...

Perfect. Thanks for the pictures and the thorough explanation.

Hey Warn, Can you advise if it's acceptable to mount a 9.5cti feet forward? I have an ARB bumper looking for a winch, and I have a 9.5cti looking for a home, as well as a 8274 (actually a 8074!) - but that certainly won't fit without cutting up the bumper. Can you provide the pinout of this...

Can someone post a pic of two of the bumper mounts for a 2500 Silverado? I seem to recall someone here modifed an ARB bumper to install a 8724 winch, but don't remember who... Anyone know?

I'll second what others have said about a limited slip having winter quirks. Had a track lok in the back of my ranger, and it would slide the back end out at pretty inopportune times.

Thats a sharp looking Yukon! What brand and the headlights and do you like them? The stance and tires look just about perfect. Details?

How much difference does the sound deadening make?

I (obviously) only noticed it with the drivers door at first, but last night I was in and out of the passenger side several times and it didn't respond either. Where is this connection you speak of? What module controls this function?

Two somewhat minor issues that I'm looking to resolve. 1) The "fasten seatbelt" alarm is chiming even if the Yukon is in park. Any way to disable it? 2) My 05 Silverado sporadically not recognizing either door is open, so the interior lights don't operate with the doors, and the radio stays...

Well... I happen to have both. 2005 Silverado 2500 ext cab short bed 6.0 w/ 4.10s and a 2004 yukon 2500 8.1 w/ 4.10s. We bought the yukon after our second child, though mostly because I didn't like having two car seats crammed in our car. Both are fine, but I find myself driving the yukon...

A couple more tanks of fuel resulted in 19.64L/100km (11.9 MPG US) and 17.74L/100km (13.26 MPG). The final numbers were 1868 km (1160 miles) consumed 340 liters of fuel (90 US gallons) for a final average of 18.2L/100km (12.9 MPG US). I'm still pretty happy considering a significant portion of...

2nd fill up of the trip was 16.954 L/100km or 13.87 mpg (US). Pretty not bad, I think!
