Maybe not all 6.2's have the bad lifter bore/ bearing wear issues
I don't know what the statistics are, but there are many 6.2 engines that will not see those problems (knock on wood) our 2022 has 18k, so far so good. If something does happen I will certainly be reporting it to the Forum.- GMCnewbee

Lake Speed Jr, Oil Additives = Snake oil (video)
It is one thing to feel good about or believe in something, quite another to deal with evidence of what works and how well. Here is a short story for you: My sister bought an old Chevy pick-up back around 1973, so it was from the early sixties. I asked about the black oil on the dipstick and...- GMCnewbee

Help me decide (keep current or get new)
With 90k I would seriously consider trading it. Obviously you drive a lot so trade it in before your mileage goes over 100k and the trade in value drops even more.- GMCnewbee

If you didnt have a Yukon/Suburban/Escalade, what would be your next choice?
I would look seriously at the Wagoneer. We had a 2021 Grand Cherokee L. Liked it very much but it was just too small. I did drive a Wagoneer before buying the Yukon, so that should tell you something. Our son is driving our old 2007 Sequoia. What a great vehicle!- GMCnewbee

Steering Wheel - Too Far?
Understood. I am 6' 3" and yes, this or that could be different (better), more range to the adjustment, etc., but I have always felt very comfortable in our 2022 Denali. I do not feel at all that I need to overreach for the steering wheel, or that the wheel is too thin. Maybe I am just not... -
Air/hydraulic noise coming from brake pedal when being applied. This is a 2023 Yukon Denali ultimate.
When our 2022 Denali was new there were a couple of times when something unusual happened with the brake pedal. It might be what you describe but I am having trouble remembering exactly what it did. I think after driving, then stopping, going to park, setting the parking brake, and turning off...- GMCnewbee

Lifter Failure Root Cause Same as HEMI?
My opinion about this is that the cause of lifter failure is either bad design or bad manufacturing. Yes, improper lubrication does not help anything, and I agree that it is another possible cause or at least a contributing factor. I think whoever makes the lifters either does not pay attention...- GMCnewbee

Shopping for 2021 or Newer - Trans, fuel, pump, issues?
Welcome from Orlando! We like our 2022 Yukon just fine. Yes, you hear some bad things on the Forum, but it is not a bad thing to hear what is going on in this world. So far (knock on wood) we are not having any issues. We had a 2021 Grand Cherokee, very nice but just too small. Traded it for the...- GMCnewbee
