#6 of 26 Re: 07 Denali 18" to 20" Upgrade [rsht] by pvorwerk Mar 21, 2008 (8:07 pm)
Replying to: rsht (Mar 17, 2008 7:15 am) I am not positive, but as I understand it the batteries are integrated with the sensor and are not replaceable. Sounds dumb to me too, but that was the way it was explained to me by one of the techs at the dealership. If you find out otherwise please let me know.   Phil
#7 of 26 Wheel/Lug Nut Torque by rsht Apr 22, 2008 (6:42 am)
Does anyone know the proper lug nut torque specification for 2007 Yukon Denali with standard 18 inch OEM wheels? I read its 140ft/lbs in the Owner's Manual, but that sounded pretty high, any comments or suggestions?   Also, anyone can recommend a Torque Wrench on these lug nuts? Craftsmen??? Thanks!

Replying to: rsht (Apr 22, 2008 6:42 am) Lug nuts should be tightened in a star pattern using progressive torque settings to 140 ft lbs. My personal favorite is a 1/2" drive Snap On digital torque wrench. If all you're doing is lugnuts I believe Harbor Freight Tools has some reasonably priced wrenches.

Replying to: obyone (Apr 23, 2008 2:21 am) obyone, the 1/2" drive digital torque wrench from Snap-on are nice, especially the one called the TechAngle, Wow! Thank you for the information and confirmation.
#11 of 26 Custom wheel offset by toolguy134 May 26, 2008 (4:46 am)
Just got my 2008 Denali and want to put on 305/45/22 tire with a set of custom wheels. I 'm confused by which ofset I need to have so the tire won't rub. I ordered a belltech lowing kit so I need to make sure I choose the right combination .   Larry
#13 of 26 2001 Yukon Denali Tire Pressure by djchrishart Jul 10, 2008 (6:55 am)
Sorry if this is a bit of a lame question, but I recently purchased 4 new Yokohama Geolander H/T-S G051 tires (size 265/70-17) for my 2001 Yukon Denali and have a question on tire pressure.   The tire says 35 psi max on the sidewall. Now I know that this is max, which you never do. My door jam says 30 psi for the tires. The shop that changes my oil seems to put 32.5 psi in. Now knowing that all of these are when the tires are cold, my question is, what should the psi be at?   I've been told to go with what is on the door jam (30 psi). My only curiosity is when I put only 30 psi in, the tires visually seem very low. Maybe it's just me, but this is why I am asking you pros...   Any help/clarification is appreciated!

Replying to: djchrishart (Jul 10, 2008 6:55 am) Yes, you should never exceed the maximum recommend tire pressure that's molded on your tire sidewall (35psi) . While a higher pressure tends to minimize wear, many people find it contributes to harsh rides. In my case, I drove with different pressure (between the car maker's recommendation and the maximum pressure) within the first couple of weeks to find my comfort zone (happens to be at 31psi) as well as watched for any irregular wear caused by too much or low tire pressure. In any case, tires on the same axle should be inflated to the same pressure, if not all 4 are with the same pressure (per the manufacturer's sticker on the door jam).   P.S. To me, 32 to 33 rides fine in the winter; but during the summer time once they get warmed-up the ride gets a bit harsh for me... Replies to this message: ahightower (Jul 11, 2008 8:06 pm)

Replying to: rsht (Jul 11, 2008 5:01 am) Agree that 17"s appear to "bulge" a bit even when properly inflated. I think everyone is so used to seeing low profile dubs everywhere. But don't worry. I agree with rsht, never exceed the maximum rating. I like the recommended psi plus 2-3, gives a little better fuel economy. The ride is a bit firm, but still very acceptable. If you like it softer around town, it's worth increasing a couple pounds before a long highway trip where you'll be on mainly smooth roads and high speeds.
