In this video we replace the OEM air shocks and compressor on our Yukon with aftermarket ones from Vigor. And my daughter is in the shop helping out today, so that's super fun!!
The same process is true for Cadillac Escalade as well as some of the LTZ models of Chevy trucks, like Tahoe and Avalanche and Suburban.

Shocks (pair): amzn.to/3OYkTvm

Or, buy direct from Vigor (but will still actually ship from Amazon it turns out)

The kid's getting a look at how dads keep the world turning...Nice work Dad.

She asked to help! She's a good hard working kid. And it was fun to have someone else involved...usually I'm all by myself in the garage.

You represent the everyman doing it on his own! Love it! Keep up the great work!

@rhynosgarage 3 месяца назад

I hope so. That's what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

I came across the same issue with the tubing on the old compressor to the new. Followed your lead and it worked out great. Thanks for the helpful video.

You're welcome! Glad it helped.

I have a 2013 yukon xl denali. Both of my rear air shocks were blown to bits so i ordered 2 and installed them. But the air connection to the shocks are leaking pretty bad and idk How to fix it. I also had to order new air lines because there were holes in mine. They will be in in 4 days. Got any idea on how to fix the connection leak?

@rhynosgarage 8 месяцев назад

Sounds like the leak is probably in the air line or the connector at the end of the air line which you should get all together. But, if you don't and you just get the plastic tubes, then you probably might need to replace the connectors too. And, worse case scenario might be the connection on the compressor side is leaking and it's not really leaking at the shocks themselves. One way to find the leak might be to use some soapy water. Just like you'd do with a gas fitting for the house or to find a leak in a tire. Spray soap on and look for bubbles. Narrowing down the source of the leak would also help to narrow down the fix. Good luck!

What is the ride quality vs. OEM shocks and struts? I am debating between these and the Arnott on a 2012 Yukon Denali plus would be replacing the front struts.

@rhynosgarage 9 месяцев назад

Seems the ride quality is very slightly stiffer. Which I didn't really mind as I tow quite a bit with it. But I also wonder if the ride was so soft from the shocks not working well, that it just "seems" to be stiffer when it's really not.

@@rhynosgarage I like your reply to this question. Simple and honest. I wish you where my brother

@dalemazzoline5351 8 месяцев назад

Do you still like your air suspension kit for your Yukon? Do you suggest anything different at this point?

@rhynosgarage 8 месяцев назад

I do. It’s been really solid for towing. I do hear a creaking sound that I didn’t hear before. Kinda sounds like me when I get up off the garage floor. Not sure they are why and it’s not a big deal. But just something I’ve noticed.

@avalanchereviews2352 3 месяца назад

Stubby flex head 3/8" Ratchet for that passenger side upper inside

@rhynosgarage 3 месяца назад

yep, that would have been handy. Gonna have to pickup a set of stubby ratchets. More and more I'm wishing I had one.

@prestonodom1177 9 месяцев назад

Did either the shocks or the compressor come with a warranty? I have to do this exact same thing to my yukon denali and i was about to order it all from your link to Amazon. But i cant find any warranty information.

@rhynosgarage 9 месяцев назад

Both come with a 1-year warranty. For the record, I couldn't remember for sure so I emailed their support yesterday (Friday) afternoon and they replied early this morning about 7:00am. So props to them for quick support response.

@prestonodom1177 9 месяцев назад

@rhynosgarage I ordered both from your link to Amazon and had them overnighted. Got it all installed last night on my 2012 Denali in only a couple hours with my daughter. Your video was a really big help. I ran the hoses back the factory way like you did. I wouldn't have known what to do at that point otherwise. Thanks for the response and the video man.

@GJRII 6 дней назад

Where did you buy your shocks and compressor and how is the ride? I just bought a 2013 Yukon and I need to change mine.

@rhynosgarage 6 дней назад

Links are in the description for where I got them. Ride is good. Seems like it's just a touch stiffer than stock, but as I said in another comment I don't know if it really is, or if it just feels like it because the shocks were bad and that made the ride worse than factory.

@thegonz7833 2 месяца назад

Did you have any DIC? scan for codes?

@rhynosgarage 2 месяца назад

Annoyingly no. No codes. But when I tried to kick the compressor on with my bidirectional scanner, it wouldn’t come on. And it was pretty obvious that the shocks were bad.
