You are just the man I need to ask a question. I took the wheel well partially off my passenger side 2005 Yukon and 2006 Silverado to clean out the leaves. A square plastic part fell out of both of then. It's black and about 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches. I have no clue what it is or where it goes. I watched you take off your fender and spotted something that looked similar. Do you have any idea what it is?

[@PostalRedneck]

Yes. I'm guessing it's kind of rubbery and there's weights in them? They are not necessary. It's kind of a one-way valve for the cowl to drain water and I'm guessing to not allow Critters to Nest under it.

[@johnnyhacks507]

Dam another great video. Thanks for keeping them coming. Nice work, again you make it look easy. Tell You Tube they need to push your content more...👍😁👍

[@PostalRedneck]

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to get a few videos out to see what youtube would do and it looks like the videos are doing about as good as any other. Worth a shot. Going to take a few days off editing. Silver Lake tomorrow with my Dad so that will be fun. Hope work is going to good and miss you guys.

[@ShankTarver-x7d]

Thank you your video was very helpful

[@bruceyyyyy]

Clever trick on that antenna wire. My Suburban is that same 'pewter' color. Got to give it some love eventually but it's just my beater for right now. Planning for a 14 bolt swap now for when I blow up the G80.

[@PostalRedneck]

Yeah the G80's are known to grenade. I almost did a 14 bolt swap on one of my dune trucks but after seeing how heavy they were and how much work it would be to install an older 14 bolt I changed my mind. I know the H2's have them but they are 8 lug and I cant run adapters as my truck just fits on my trailer width wise.

[@bruceyyyyy]

@@PostalRedneck I could be wrong but I thought the 14 bolts are drop in for us coil guys. They put SF 14 bolt 6 lug on Avalanche and Escalade after 07. Could be had with or without locker. With 3.73 or 4.10.

[@Save-A-DogAps]

I got an 2003 escalade pickup. Im doing this in the street next week lol Thanks for videi

[@PostalRedneck]

Its an easy job for the most part. How did it end up going?

[@Save-A-DogAps]

@@PostalRedneck just got the fender 2 days aho. So Fter work monday. Doing it

[@PostalRedneck]

You going aftermarket I take it?

[@JuiceDaDon2]

Thanks for leading me here great vid

[@PostalRedneck]

Glad you enjoyed

[@ok8991]

For some reason I have a bigger gap between my door and fender than it was before? Any tips on aligning it

[@PostalRedneck]

Not a clue. Mine went in perfect and I only had to tinker a little bit to get the hood gap right.

[@jamesmorgan3040]

Same you ever find the problem?

[@ok8991]

@@jamesmorgan3040 I got the driver side right but the passenger one still is slightly open, I had someone push it close while I put the bolt in

You did good bro💯 nice work. I watched the whole video

[@PostalRedneck]

Awesome thank you!

[@dennisvan4407]

You are really cranking out the videos! Nice job! Thanks buddy

Yeah its going to come to a stop for a few days now. Fun well it lasted haha.

@@dennisvan4407 Yeah going to Silver Lake with my dad tomorrow with Disaster Transport and then this weekend im clearing out the garage to start working on my Yukon again. What red unit are you talking about? Right now im rocking the Gambler Tahoe aka TrashHoe.

[@dennisvan4407]

@@PostalRedneck the scooter 😀

[@PostalRedneck]

Ahhh yeah thats one of my Rare 1983-1984 Honda Aero 80. They also made the Honda Aero 80 in 1985 and redid everything and then stopped production of them so the 1985's are even Rarer. I own 2 1985's as well 😁

[@mclovin_it8593]

Will a 2003 Sierra fender fit on a yukon

[@PostalRedneck]

Yup. (Sierra-Yukon-Yukon XL are the same) (Silverado-Tahoe-Suburban are the same) (Denali's are alone) (Escalade's are alone)

[@was1069]

it was in time laps just wondering how long roughly did it take for you to take off the finder?

[@PostalRedneck]

Ill bet from start to finish it would only take about 1 1/2 to remove and install the new fender. They are very easy. Worst bolt is the one by the running board.

[@was1069]

@@PostalRedneck ok cool. i askef because i saw u had to take off a lot of other stuff. thanks much

[@PostalRedneck]

@was1069 Tom 1 bolt and nut for the hood hinge, 4 bolts for upper fender brace, 5 bolts for fire wall support, 2 bolts for the coolant tank, 5 bolts for the air cleaner bracket, 1 bolt upper radiator support, 1 bolt lower radiator support behind front bumper, 2 bolts in door jam and 1 bolt in the running boards. Other than that remove the air cleaner box and inner fender plastics. Not too bad of a job at all.

[@quickchrome2012]

​@PostalRedneck thank you I was looking for this comment. So total of 22 bolts right?

[@Barry11997]

thank u buddy same problem here damn car wash broke mine years ago.

[@PostalRedneck]

Could easy be what happened to this one as well. Sucks they made it so hard to replace but its worth it if you listen to the FM radio. Hope it helped to get yours fixed.

[@Barry11997]

@@PostalRedneck im cacth a warmer day. and pull the fender off i need too. yeah i agree that back and forth i heart adds and it works when it wants. i can get local stations but some wont come in. those window ones wont ground and random shit comes in sometimes.

[@gunner49er]

If that were to happen I would make a new routing for that antenna wire a damn sure wouldn’t take the dash out for an antenna wire

[@PostalRedneck]

LOL same. I was sure hoping that my idea would work or I would have to start getting creative.

[@wking523]

Yukon , Tahoe and a Surbain ?

[@PostalRedneck]

Only have my 2001 Yukon from this video, 2001 Tahoe aka Disaster Transport and my 2001 Tahoe gambler truck. Sold the Suburban unfortunately.

[@wking523]

@@PostalRedneck still have the Oldsmobiles ?

[@PostalRedneck]

Yup. Well if you want a whole list of all the vehicles I currently have right now here we go. 01 Tahoe, 01 Tahoe, 01 Yukon, 97 Tahoe, 86 Olds, 86 Olds, 02 Aztec, 91 Blazer, 83 S-10, 84 Aero 80, 85 Aero 80, another 85 Aero 80 and my Mud Mower. Yeah I have a problem haha.

[@TeamSchaeffer]

Where's the video for dash swap?

[@PostalRedneck]

Have yet to do it. Hoping to either start this project back up after sitting for a year or im going to start the motor swap on my dune truck.

[@TeamSchaeffer]

@@PostalRedneck okay please keep me posted because I have a 2000 GMC Yukon but I want to swap the dash out of a 2002 or higher Denali I know the bottom trim is different I just want to see how hard it will be to put it in so the console and everything will line up

[@PostalRedneck]

​@@TeamSchaeffer I dont plan on switching to the 2002+ center console as I personally dont like them. There are a few videos on how to change them out and all you need is the lower dash parts and console I believe. As for hooking up the center console sub thats built into the newer console I dont know how to go about that. I just want to put in the Escalade dash cover, grab handle and cluster bezel.

[@TeamSchaeffer]

@@PostalRedneck I hear you actually I just want the Denali center console but the bottom trim is different I seen a couple of different videos on how to do it I just stumbled across yours and was very interested when I seen your dash apart LOL

[@PostalRedneck]

Yeah that yukon is going to get a LQ9 swap, Escalade front clip swap and a bunch of other stuff done to it. You should do the GMT900 3rd brake light swap. I kinda like how they look other than the small gap on the sides. Ill also be posting a video of the over head console swap from a pickup. I literally just got done installing it about an hour ago. Just need to edit the video.

[@Gabriel-dt3ez]

Super helpful and good vid. Time lapse music choice is a bit peculiar. Woulda preferred maybe some taylor swift, chief keef, or some morgan wallen. Other than that this was very helpful thank you

[@PostalRedneck]

Thanks. As a creator we are limited to the songs we can use in our videos unfortunately or I would have had something better.

[@jefffrayer8238]

@@PostalRedneck Just bought a clean '04, Z71 Suburban from S. Kansas that's been in Mich 4 yrs. I see it's very easy to remove grille, etc. and plan on removing fenders to clean crud out of inside before I keep rust away with oil spray. I noticed FM stations fade quickly so maybe that antenna needs replacing. Looks fine but maybe no good? Took tail lights out to find there's a way for dust and mist to collect at bottom of rear quarters. Thanks for the great vid and Love the music. Greetings from the farm near Battle Creek, Mi.

[@firehawk0071]

Unfortunatly someone dubbed some whiny music in...

[@PostalRedneck]

I went to check out your channel to see what songs you put in your videos and couldn't find any. Perhaps you have some ideas where to get good royalty free music from or do you like to just go around and complain?
