Painted, really? Were they body color or black? And did it look better than the 08 way?

Yea, budget cuts. The 08s no longer have painted handles on some models. Although, all GMC Yukons still have painted handles.



Also, there is a power managment system on the lighting only. This will shut down headlights, marker, interior ex ex if left on, and doesnt count for the cig accessory plugs. I personally have left my laptop plugged in several times and woke up to a dead battery.


If your gonna do the door handle mod they make modules that hook into the batterys called Priority Start. We use them on the Police Vehicles so if someone leaves equipment on for too long it will disconnect the battery sources. There are several diff models and options. But a good idea w/ no keyholes!

Stop dead batteries and and maintain your engine's startng power. Automatic computerized battery protection system monitors battery and detects any drain, eliminating the need for a jump start and prolonging the life of the battery, alternator and starter. Pays for itself the first time it operates.

* Redesigned drive gear system for increased reliability
* Surge "spike" protection circuit
* 3 easy connections
* No hard wiring required
* ISO, SAE and USCG certified

Interesting. My '08 has the black plastic handles, and I thought it was because I have an LT2 and the painted ones came with the LT3s or something

In regard to a dead vehicle battery effectively locking you out, I wonder if you could feed in low-amp 12V current through the trailer wiring harness receptacle? You would need a circuit back there that is live 24/7, one that is not powered through the ignition switch circuit. Isn't there a thread rolling around on this board somewhere that discusses an underhood wiring harness mod to allow the receptacle to charge a trailer battery? I think this mod has the desired 24/7 effect.

If you do such a mod, just don't back the ol' girl too far into the water when launching a boat...

Yea, you could do that too! They also make jumper cable kits that install a plug right under your bumper for starting, same concept.
