    My New 1996 GMC YUKON GT

    Sorry for the late reply and the loss of your friend... Congratulations on your acquisition however. After nearly year and a half of ownership this for me has been the best vehicle I ever owned. If yours was maintained as well as mine as it sounds, it should reward you with many more years of...

    No AC from dash vents

    Thanks for your valued help guys.... I haven't noticed a clicking sound which you have mentioned. However I have noticed that there seems to be a delay of a few miles perhaps, before the A/C feels like flowing from the forward vents. When I checked the H & L sides statically over the weekend...

    No AC from dash vents

    Has anyone solved this problem? I currently have this exact issue with my '96 YUKON.... A/C is fully charged checked with gauge set. Air blows out of defrost and bottom vents, but not out of forward A/C venting. I looked in my GM service manual VOL I (don't have Vol II). It made mention of a...

    DIN 1.5 AFTERMARKET STEREO INSTALL QUESTION

    Thanks for your help and input guys. Yes, not of fan either of Jenson or Pyle either. I am fairly dead-set on finding one of these used Alpine units.. I have found a few scattered nationwide on CL posts in cities far from where I live. So far my contact attempts to have them ship them to me...

    Well, the rear speakers in my '96 2 door YUKON GT are 4 X 10's, not 4 X 6's....

    Rear 6x9

    Well another route to the OEM 4 X 10 dilemma is to go with a set of these 6 X 9 adapter plates sold here on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-x-10-to-6-x-9-SPEAKER-ADAPTER-PLATE-MID-KIT-4X10-6X9-PLATES-US-SELLER-/271160261374?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item3f22693afe&vxp=mtr This will probably be my...

    DIN 1.5 AFTERMARKET STEREO INSTALL QUESTION

    I want to replace the OEM DIN 1.5 Delco headunit (HU) in my '96 with another premium HU utilizing, and maximizing the same location. The options to completely fill the DIN 1.5 space are limited to either using something like a Metra adapter face for a DIN 1.0 HU, or finding a used DIN 1.5 HU. I...

    CARBON FIBER DASH/INTERIOR TRIM KITS

    Does anyone have any first experience using any of the various dash/trim kits out there? I am looking in particular for one constructed of Real Carbon Fiber (always loved the look of that material), but if you installed one made of another material please chime in. B&I, Sherwood, WOW, Superior...

    Post your Stepside!

    Some old pics of my 1988 GMC Sierra Stepside, A clean 1 owner California truck I bought back in 2000 with about 100K for $1200.00. I ending up having to sell it 6 years back because the City of Chicago (where i live) required me to purchase an additional $250.00 per year tag to park a "B"...

    My New 1996 GMC YUKON GT

    Thanks again everyone for the kind words.... Well I did end up replacing the seat covers for it. Until now I avoided showing the interior. I posted another thread here to document my fix. http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?16247-CAL-TREND-SEAT-COVERS BTW.. The heat in this truck is...

    CAL TREND SEAT COVERS

    Well, I finally received and installed the seat covers that I ordered and I am very pleased how they turned out. I took a series of before and after photos to document the install. They turned out better than I expected. As you can see the old seat covers that came with my truck were very...

    Loose Passenger's Seat

    For me I have the same issue although probably not to an extreme as others here do -I am pretty particular though. There is an excessive amount of play IMHO -a slight rocking back and forth it seems loose to me. I removed the passenger seat to install some custom seat covers so I checked mine...

    Bull Bar

    Thanks for the info... I do agree with you they should mount in all four holes from a standpoint of available rigidity. I can envision what your talking about, but I can't envision what their brackets look like. Could you just get longer G-8 bolts and fab some spacers to mount the tow hooks...

    My New 1996 GMC YUKON GT

    Thank you everyone for the compliments and suggestions. I am pretty much leaving it stock as-is. Over the weekend just doing routine maintenance, oil change etc.. I discovered they did buy a K&N air filter for it so I cleaned and recharged it. However, it didn't fit right in the airbox...

    Well, I ended up ordering these. So when I do install them I'll report back here with the results along with before and after photos of the conversion.

    Bull Bar

    Yes, I do agree these are more for aesthetics than for a practical use. -outside of mounting lights and a license plate. In fact, in certain cases it would probably do more damage to the vehicle in a collision than without it. BTW.. Did you modify the supplied brackets or fabricate your own from...

    Bull Bar

    Yes, I been looking for a BB for weeks here on the local CL. The ones that I did find are more expensive than if I order that new one with shipping costs, and I don't even have to leave my house! Not to mention my truck was missing the front license plate bracket because I bought it from a...

    Bull Bar

    That mod is a great idea especially if you have one lying around that doesn't fit anything. Actually after some more searching, I just found another company that markets bull bars that suspiciously appear to be the same exact thing, but are slightly cheaper in price. About $20.00 for the one I...

    Bull Bar

    I am looking for a bull bar for my 1996 YUKON GT as well. There is a company out of Houston, Texas the Truck Armoury. They sell a line of grill guards (if that's your thing) and bull bars for GMT400's in either powder coated black or stainless steel, and in a classic or a modern style. They are...

    CAL TREND SEAT COVERS

    Does anyone have any first-hand experience using this company's seat covers? I am looking to purchase a set of fronts for my 96 YUKON. In particular, I am opting for the "I Can't Believe It's Not Leather" Seat Covers in the red/black configuration shown. They even make them to exactly match my...
