    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    Now you're just lying and making up whatever details you think will support your half *** diagnosis of a vehicle that you don't even know had the system you say failed. You would've had to to have stopped and spent five minutes at the scene to gather all detail you say above. You're a freaking...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    Have to in every situation, no of course not..... On 2wd truck parked in a ditch on the side of the road,,, quite possibility. And with the information known here (which is none really, because we don't even know if the dang car had air ride), it's impossible to determine,,,which is what I've...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    Or,,, if the flat is on the front, once you have the spare tire out,,,lower the jack, and move it to the front. Did you ride the short bus to school maybe, these aren't hard concepts or advanced logic we're talking here, pretty simple stuff that you don't seem to be grasping. ...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    Mad , no more like disgusted at people that actually know nothing, who then go post a bunch of crap like they do. Reminds me of our news media today, with all their uninformed opinions on things that they literally know nothing about, but will jump right to a conclusion and tell you that's the...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    So let's assume the vehicle in question did have the air suspension system (which is an assumption), you know there is an "easy exit" setting for the air system that lowers the car when you put in in park. We use this little feature when visiting the MIL because she's like 81 years old and it...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    So let me get this straight... You saw a vehicle on the side of the road, you have no idea why it's there , what happened, or even if the vehicle has the air ride system at all (air ride was optional on high country, not standard), but you assume the vehicle has air ride, and that it completely...

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    Dealers only have to get approval from the regional rep (dealerships are independently owned, the regional reps are GM/ Ford/ FCA employees) if the dollar value of the warranty repair exceed a certain dollar value. So if the warranty repair is cheap, the dealers can just perform the repair...

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    So then "your" dealer does it different than every other dealer is the US. I've lived all over (side effect of being the military for 20 years, you move a lot) and had several different brands of vehicles ranging from Chevy and Ford to Cadillac and Mercedes, never once seen a service advisor do...

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    The service writer doesn't scan for any codes, the techs do that. The service writer shoots the vin sticker with the little gun to help fill out the ticket because that automatically fills in things like vehicle year, made model, engine/ trans combo etc, they then type in all the "customer...

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    While I don't 100% know if all dealership do it, or if its maybe just a Ford thing, but my sister was the service department manager of a Ford dealer for about 10 years or so. She said that when they zap the VIN sticker with their little gun it pulls up all kinds of stuff automatically that they...

    2022 YUKON DENALI 6.2

    The 6.2’s have a known issue with oversized lifter bores that in turn starves the rod bearings of oil. Combined with the use of the ultra thin 0w20 GM specs for these engines ( for CAFE reasons only, they spec thicker oil for the same engine in different applications), and it’s recipe for...

    Does a 2024 Z51 with 6.2 require premium fuel?

    lol, “I used a scan tool but can’t say what it said”,,,, translation,, I didn’t use a scan tool and everything I said is subjective. …

    Dealer had my 24 Yukon painted without my permission.

    New paint that hasn't been sun faded is easy match. Don't know why you think silver is harder to match than any other color, it's not. Heck a decent backyard DIY'er can match new paint, takes virtually no skill actually, just fill the cup to the correct lines, stir, strain and shoot. Way...

    Catch Can. Why only one valve cover?

    On a 21+ engine it is 100% totally useless, and serves no purpose at all whatsoever, in any way, to have a catch can connected to the passenger side valve cover (I'm not sure how to make that any more clear). Air is going INTO the engine on the passenger side valve cover, hence why that tube is...

    lol, just like political left, when you don't have a counter argument based in logic or reason,,, resort to name calling and then claim you have the moral high ground. Thanks though, I did need a laugh today. ...

    Must haves

    lol, I'm not the one who's more worried about impressing others with my cool grill and chrome window surrounds than actually driving the thing. The Denali dash is just dumb, GMC wanted something different, not better, just different, and that's what GMC achieved with that dash. It's the epitome...

    Must haves

    Has that stuff gotten better in recent years or something? Every paint protection film I've ever seen turned into a yellow cracking disaster that caused more paint damage than it prevented. But it has been a few years since I looked into it/ knew someone that had it. ...

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    You managed to get 47K miles on the engine before it spun a bearing. Care to share what oil weight/ brand and what oil change interval you were using before the old engine went south? ...

    Must haves

    The Denali dash (above) has the screen that you look at for literally everything positioned farther down on the dash below two air events so you have to take your eyes way further off the road to see it. Whereas the Chevrolet or Yukon non-denali dash (below) has the screen up as high as...

    Must haves

    The Yukon's in any other trim besides Denali have a dash identical to the Chevrolets. Which IMHO is a good thing as I think the Chevrolet/ non denali Yukon dash is a better layout. ...

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    When the computer sees vehicle speed but no engine speed it shifts the transmission to neutral, its kinda a safety feature, (like how the transmission won't go into park at speed type thing). So if the engine seized from a main bearing failure while driving at highway speeds, the transmission...

    Must haves

    I would add a catch can of some sort to the must haves list. These are direct injection engines, as such the oil mist in the PCV system ends up glued to the back of the intake valves in short order. A catch can helps remove the oil mist from the PCV gases. ...

    2021 GMC Yukon Denali Oil Burn

    Ah, you were talking about shear reducing viscosity of oil over time. Of course both oils will shear as they're used, but they probably won't shear at the same rate. Generally the higher the spread between the winter number (the "0" in 0W40) and normal viscosity number (the "40" in 0W40) means...
