    Wheel shake\vibration issue

    This is driving me crazy. Have a 2017 Yukon Denali that has steering wheel and front end vibration\shake around 75mph that I can’t figure out. So far I have tried: Several rebalancing attempts both at dealer and discount tire New tires (Defender LTX) New replica wheels from discount tire...

    Normal Oil Consumption? 09 Yukon Denali 6.2

    Thanks all.. I will keep an eye on it. I just had the motor mounts done and the mechanic said he did not notice any leakage anywhere so that is good. I am a bit surprised there would be no leaks though given the consumption and clean oil and antifreeze overall. I suppose as long as I keep oil...

    Normal Oil Consumption? 09 Yukon Denali 6.2

    I know this topic is beat to death at times but wanted to share my current situation. 2009 Yukon Denali 6.2 FlexFuel with 147k (no AFM for this year) I bought it back in August with 141k miles. It is a spare vehicle. I did oil change with Amsoil Signature at that time. In October at about...

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    Yeah.. I reread your posts and I think I could be following the same pattern.. so the screen can be removed entirely? You also did the O ring once right?

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    Quick update... the shop replaced the oil pressure switch as that had a small leak anyway.. but that did not resolve the issue. Turns out it was a clogged\defective Amsoil oil filter. Not sure who makes them.. Wix? The filter had 3k miles on it. I am lucky this did not turn catastrophic and...

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    My 07 with 118k had the low oil pressure issue today.. it is at the shop now. No CEL but the oil light was on of course and DIC warning.. the gauge would drop to 0 and then spike up with I got on the throttle. I drove it 20 min to the shop and it seemed fine otherwise.. hoping it is just the 0...

    Looking to buy a Tahoe. Which is the better scenario?

    I bought my 07 with 113k back in Oct for $17k.. it is an LTZ and 4WD (I am in MN) and extremely clean so I did good on that price. Even had new tires! Mine had the typical issues, dash crack, door handles, dead power running boards, etc. But you would never guess it has 113k. It just rolled 118k...

    Help shopping for a 5.3 or 6.2 re: Oil consumption ?

    I am confused.. why does the class action only apply to 2010-2013? The AFM issues impact 2007-2014 correct?

    Recommendations needed for 130K + miles reventive repairs

    I get the need to be proactive.. but as already noted.. it is crap shoot. I would not toss money on parts that have not failed. If it aint' broke dont fix it!

    How many miles does your vehicle have on it?

    07 Tahoe LTZ... just rolled 118k. Bought it back in Oct with 113k. So far I have done New Rear Axle Seals with Amsoil Severe Gear Oil and Amsoil 25k Signature Oil change. Also seafoamed it. The low oil light just came on and it looks like it has consumed almost 2qts in 5k miles. I have the Range...

    New Owner with some questions - 2007 Tahoe LTZ

    Well AFM woes are beginning.. Or maybe I just have had not noticed since I have only had the vehicle a few months... just rolled 118k miles. I changed the oil to Amsoil Signature about 2800 miles ago and I got the low oil message today. Sure enough I need to add at least a quart. I have the...

    New Owner with some questions - 2007 Tahoe LTZ

    Hey all, quick follow-up. The smell ended up being the rear axles seals. Had both replaced for $300 and had shop use Amsoil 75W-90 Severe Gear Oil in the diff. Also changed the engine oil with Amsoil Signature Series. They say good for 25k or once a year. Not sure I trust that. But does using...

    Interesting.. thanks for the input. I drove it in reserve and did a few hard brakes and the smoke has not returned. Smell even seems better so we will see.

    Black Bear Tune.. which route?

    I am thinking AutoCal.. thoughts? Below are the options they sent me.. least cost to most. -- Traditional Tune - Complete an order form with pertinent details and we ship out a set of computers to you. You will need to find someone with a Tech II or similar to perform the crank relearn...

    New Owner with some questions - 2007 Tahoe LTZ

    So plot thickens on my exterior smell issue... Doesn't appear to be coolant after all. On my way home yesterday, I noticed smoke coming from the rear passenger wheel once I stopped in my driveway. My first thought was seized caliper. Did a little research and I drove the truck in reverse and...

    New Owner with some questions - 2007 Tahoe LTZ

    Ok cool.. below is what I was quoted at a local shop.. seems fair.. I am hoping plugs and wires are actually ok.. The truck idles and runs perfect. I also plan to use the 25k mile Amsoil Signature Series for engine (along with a seafoam treatment). Any thoughts on that? Or maybe Amsoil on other...

    Coolant smell

    Bump... I think I have the same issue.. do you guys replace the rings only or the entire tee fitting? Part numbers?

    New Owner with some questions - 2007 Tahoe LTZ

    So do you guys think given the 113k miles, I should do the following ASAP? I have no reason to believe there is any issue with any of these... Or overkill? just being proactive. Plugs, wires, front/rear differential fluid, drain, filter, and fill trans, transfer case fluid, coolant, and any...
