Default Upgraded the daily driver today

Went from this:



To this:

2000 loaded Yukon Denali. 85K on the clock and runs great. 5.7L vortec with what looks like the same TB that's on my formy on top of what looks like the truck LS intake. I need to check and see if it's supported in HPTuner. Wonder if there's a maggie out there for it???

And a pic of the Formy after I got her all gussied up today.

Nice change!

Those blazers were kind of gutless unless they came with the v6 5spd option. They're like impossible to find, too.

How much out the door for the Yukon? I am thinking of getting one of these to replace my dodge quad cab.. Plus I have three kids, so I need the extra room. lol

The Blazer actually felt slightly more powerful. The Denali is a ****** tank. It's got great low end but after 4.5K it's flat. But it's nice to be driving something a bigger and it handles much better than the rolly polly Blazer did.

Lane, it was free. My folks are getting an '06 Yukon, asked if I wanted their Yukon and they'd use the blazer as a trade in instead. That's a no brainer to me.

I had a 97 Tahoe. I really didn't care for it, and like my crew cab pickup SO much better. But, you got a hell of a deal on it, and I'm sure it's nicer than the Blazer. I'm sure the Denali is a little plusher than the Tahoe too.

I know! I was hoping, but it seems the full size suv's lag behind the rest of the gm products in vehicles. It's an L31. Not much out there for mods.

Full exhaust and an intake tube are probably it.

I know, not a very manly rig are they. Just wait till you get the Vette done though.
