2003 Gmc Yukon on 2040-cars
Longbranch, Washington, United States
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

GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy?
Mon, 20 Jan 2014For years, GMC has existed as a brand without a single unique product, reconstituting Chevrolet trucks, SUVs and crossovers with more frosting in exchange for a few extra dollars. The Sierra is a Silverado, the Acadia a Traverse, and the Terrain an Equinox, although admittedly the latter pair are visually differentiated to a significant degree.
GMC could be set to expand beyond its Chevy-based roots, though. During last week's Detroit Auto Show press days, GM's product boss Mark Reuss was asked whether there'd ever be a GMC that wasn't taken from Chevy. "Oh, yes, you will," Reuss told the media. "The health of GMC is astonishingly good from a consideration standpoint." Reuss wouldn't elaborate on what the model could be, although we're quite happy to make some guesses. GMC has its bases fairly well covered, with a mid-size and full-size crossover, as well as a mid-size, full-size and HD pickup. We doubt GMC will be building a family sedan, sports car, or hatchback, so really, the only place we can see the brand going is into a smaller crossover.
Automotive News points out that the most recent small GMC showcar, the 2010 Granite concept (shown above), won't see production according to General Motors. That vehicle likely would have rode on GM's compact vehicle architecture, known internally as Gamma II, which underpins the Chevy Spark and Sonic, as well as the Buick Encore (and its overseas Opel/Vauxhall/Chevy counterparts).
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GMC vehicles earn spot on Madden NFL 25's roster
Wed, 17 Jul 2013In the real world, the Super Bowl MVP gets a Chevrolet Corvette. Last year's MVP, Joe Flacco, took delivery of a C7 Corvette Stingray after leading the Baltimore Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
In the video game world of the Madden NFL series, the Super Bowl MVP gets a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali. Why no Stingray in the video game? Because GMC inked a deal with EA Sports for the truck and SUV builder to be named the official vehicle of the football video game's twenty-fifth anniversary edition.
The new Sierra Denali will be joined by the Yukon, Acadia, and Terrain in game, with stadium promotions for the brand throughout the season. Yes, even when you're beating the hell out of your buddy who insists on playing with the hateful Cowboys, you'll be seeing commercials. (Hold your keystrokes, Cowboy fans. We're just kidding. Sort of.)
