    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    If GM is repurchasing your vehicle, they reimburse you in total, meaning that you'll get your payments back. GM dealers also have an empowerment tool to reimburse customers for their payment that they're making while the vehicle is down. As far as the rental cost goes, GM reimburses that as...

    First trip with 2024 Yukon Denlai XL 6.2

    I went from PA to FL and home twice last year on Super Cruise and was amazed at how much less driver fatigue I felt afterwards. It's worth the money for sure.

    The engine on the Yukon I got as a replacement for the Yukon that got two engine replacements needs replaced. Yes, you read that correctly.

    Unfortunately, the 5.3 uses dynamic fuel management as well but doesn't require premium fuel. My suggestion would be only run premium unleaded and change the oil based on the odometer and forget the oil life monitor even exists. My wife's 23 Denali with a 6.2 has been perfect but we only run...

    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    We've got just shy of 12K on my wife's ride and they're only showing minimal wear. I just had them rotated for the 3rd time when it was serviced last week and I was pleasantly surprised when the tech was going over them. My wife isn't easy on it by any stretch either. When I got in it to wash it...

    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    I completely understand but again, you're projecting the issues of the 2022 onto the 2024 without ever finding out the cause of one check engine light. Could be something as simple as a module not being plugged in completely.

    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    My only point was that if the 2024 is never diagnosed, you have no idea of why the check engine light is on, which now has you chasing down a replacement. It's America so you're free to do as you please but I'd at least have them attempt to fix it before throwing in the towel. Who's to say the...

    2023 Tahoe Premier Oil selection

    My 2023 Denali with a 6.2 has the dynamic fuel management. The microprocessor issue that deleted the DFM was relegated mostly to 2022 MY and some 2023 units so lots of them roaming the streets with it.

    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    I just so happen to manage a Chevrolet store and have dealt with my fair share of service issues. I'm certainly not discounting the fact that you've had problems with the 22. It just seems like a knee jerk reaction to have a unit bought back without even diagnosing the issue. The 24 is suffering...

    Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel

    Is it a matter of finding a suitable replacement for the 2024? I'm kind of shocked that they're repurchasing a 2024 after one warranty claim. Have they diagnosed the problem? It's not uncommon for a vehicle to have multiple error codes stored from a check engine light.

    2023 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L dead at 10K miles

    Assuming it's the first repair, they're definitely not going to buy it back that easily. Now as it's been said before, if it goes past 30 days, they're in a position that they're required to buy it back. Replacement 6.2 engines are definitely an issue nationally. We had one that sounds like it...

    New 2025 Tahoe Z71

    You are correct on the headlamps and on the Z71 there is a fog light mounted in the lower front fascia.

    2022 Chevy Tahoe- Numerous engine issues- Beware don’t buy these trucks - Engine light, etc

    Who exactly is this "us" he's referring to? I've got better things to do but I wonder what a google image search would return on his dash pics?

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    You may want to check with a local notary or messenger service in your state before you get all revved up. In PA, we have a secured power of attorney that we can use to transfer ownership in the meantime while waiting for the lien to be released and the physical title to arrive. My assumption...

    6.2L or Duramax reliability

    If you go with the 6.2, just run premium gas and stay regular on oil changes. Most of the issues you’ll hear about stem from the owners not doing one or both. Most of the issues were also relegated or a run of late 21s and early 22s as well.

    2023 Yukon XL or Standard?

    Just my opinion, but I think the Suburban / XL is just a better looking ride. The proportions just make more sense to my eyes. You can always spread out if you aren't using all of the room in the Suburban or XL but you can't magically add room to a Tahoe / Yukon.

    Should I trade my 16 Denali for a RST?

    If you're using your current Denali as the measuring stick, you'll be mostly satisfied with the RST. The only real differences are the heads up and ventilated seats. The RST will give you the new dash with the digital display, wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, possibly the sliding center...

    Need suggestions - After the mess I have gone through over the past 9 months, what should I ask GMC to do? Vehicle repurchased, new vehicle in shop

    GM will cover your payments while the vehicle is in the shop, assuming it meets the time requirements. The dealership will have to submit a copy of your contract to prove what your actual payment is. There is also a limit on the amount of the payment but it's pretty substantial so that shouldn't...

    If you had a do-over, Would you buy your duramax all over again?

    I'm probably guilty of over maintaining my vehicles so I'm not too concerned with normal maintenance. More worried about having to do timing related services. Looks like it's jammed in there pretty good so I can only imagine what kind of time it would take to do major engine maintenance or...

    If you had a do-over, Would you buy your duramax all over again?

    I'm in the process of convincing my wife that we need the Duramax when we upgrade the next time. I'll miss the sound of the 6.2 when the grade braking engages but I certainly won't miss the ever so frequent stops at the gas station. My only real concern is long term required maintenance. Has...

    These 2023 power light up steps look fugly. Am I alone in this?

    I've got them on our Denali and I think I'm in the middle on it. I do wish they created a lip that hid the light strip a little more or had a solid strip instead of individual lights but I do like the amount of light around the truck when you walk up to it at night.

    Lane keep assist with Super cruise equipped but not activated?

    The lane keep assist only relies on the forward facing camera and engages when you drift to the edge of the lane. Super Cruise also relies on the forward facing camera for centering the vehicle in the lane but it's also using GPS to direct the vehicle down the road as well as the other sensors...

    Built and ordered a 2023 Yukon

    This is 100% accurate. If you ordered dealer installed 22's, they are delivered by a GM accessory distributor local to your dealer. The accessory distributors will give credit for takeoff sets against the new upgrade wheels. If you just ordered the factory installed machined face and silver...

    2021+ GMC Yukon Pricing vs. 2019 Pre-pandemic deals w/ snapshots

    Technically dealers could sell them for 100% off if “they wanted to” however there’s not 10% in markup unless you’re selling it to a GM employee in which case GM reimburses the dealer to get them back to around invoice cost. Rivard isn’t the only dealer to advertise a ridiculously low price like...

    2021+ GMC Yukon Pricing vs. 2019 Pre-pandemic deals w/ snapshots

    Dealers could only hope to be making 12-20% on full size utes. The deals from 4 years ago included GM incentives and required the dealer to discount them substantially to get the 15% off MSRP. GM had to help move them back then because they weren’t as desirable as the current generation. The...

    First thoughts on the 2023 Escalade.

    I’ve read that running higher octane fuel as well as maintaining the oil regularly with the 6.2 helps prevent lifter issues. I’m no technician so I’ve got no mechanical background to be able to verify that but for a few dollars a fill up, it seems worth trying.
