    Where to sell OEM 2023 Suburban 6.2 Exhaust System ?

    You don't have to report sales of used goods on your income taxes, unless it is a business vehicle you have to recapture the sale of that part since you depreciated the vehicle on your business taxes. If you are selling things you made, or buying and reselling goods for profit that is a...

    Why the switch to big rims?

    Because the vehicle looks better, and it will also corner and turn slightly better with the bigger wheels.

    Any tips on bug and road tar/gunk remover?

    Dont use petroleum distillates on your paint...it is not good for water based paints. The Best Buy remover I have found is...

    AC evaporator calls it quits at 32K miles?

    I would get a second opinion, but dealers almost always use the book hours for a given job. An experienced tech could probably do it in much less time, but you would have to go to an independent mechanic to get a better price. It is probably less than 20 hours, the labor rate for most dealers...

    2.7 Turbomax

    Inline 4 cylinder engines usually sound worse than V6 because they are less balanced. I6 engines are inherently balanced so they generally sound very smooth and refined. V8 rumble is great for motor heads (I admit I am one), but most people will prefer the smoothness of an I6.

    2.7 Turbomax

    This is what I have heard as well, it was a very odd decision to drop the turbo I6 that was based on this engine, especially considering the unresolved issue they are having with the V8 engines. The 4 cyl may be a bit underpowered for the heavier SUVs...it is probably workable with a hybrid but...

    2.7 Turbomax

    GM is in a tough spot with these engines. They hung their hat on keeping V8s around, but the system that allows them to keep the V8 is troublesome. 4 Cyl engines would be a very tough sell in these SUVs especially at 70-80k+ price points because of the lack of refinement. They cancelled the...

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    You are right, it probably won't happen in 2035, but I find it very interesting that GM has decided to spend what will end up being over $1 billion on a new small block engine family. No other automakers are spending money to design entirely new engine families, instead they are modifying...

    Best place to buy GMC accessories?

    Pull up the parts on the GMC website. Google the part number and find the cheapest dealer to buy from. The problem with the mats is that the boxes are pretty bulky so the shipping charges may outweigh just buying them from the dealer.

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    The entire market won't be all electric in 2035, but according to Mary Barra GM will be for all vehicles up to light duty (which includes up to 1500). 2500 and up may still be ICE...

    2024 Yukon USB Ports

    It is probably set up to read files off a USB flash drive and not to interface with an iPod or other device. I would probably format it to the older FAT32 format because most car entertainment systems are very rudimentary in terms of their capabilities.

    Jeep Grand Wagoneer | color me impressed

    The interior is a lot nicer than the GM products at every price point, until you get up to Escalade. The exterior looks terrible though, manages to be boring and ugly at the same time.

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    According to Consumer Reports these vehicles have a "5.9 to 8.2 percent" rate of major engine repairs. The bigger problem is that GM has no idea how to fix these lifter issues. This problem has been going on for years, and got worse once they made the brilliant decision to install the lifters...

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    You find a 1% catastrophic engine failure rate to be within normal limits for an automobile in 2024? We are talking about failures at low mileage/relatively new vehicles, not a rebuild after 100,000 miles.

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    That's a pretty bad sign (about GM) if your dealership is replacing 3 of these engines a week.

    2023 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L dead at 10K miles

    They aren't installing this stuff to save customers money on gas, they are doing it because they can not meet government standards without it. I suspect GM installed the system on all the cylinders thinking it would be less wear on the lifers, but instead they worsened the problem. A turbo...

    Dealer Pricing

    Are people seeing discounts on the Yukon Denalis in most markets. I have called a few dealers in my area to try to get pricing similar to this dealer in Tampa, and all are saying MSRP only. https://www.rivardbuickgmc.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&make=GMC&model=Yukon&sort=salePrice%7Cdesc

    2025 yukon debut and predictions

    I think you are right, it looks like they are trying to create different brand identities with the interiors. Not sure which one I like better, the GMC looks to have much more screen real estate to display information which is a plus, but I think the Chevy one looks nicer rather than the iPad...

    Allocations

    Dealer gets allocations based on previous sales and whatever other formula GM uses The dealer decides the priority of which car gets built when they get an allocation... so there are 2 possibilities: 1. They didn't get an allocation for a Platinum Trim, and got allocations for 5 of the lower...

    2021 Yukon Denali - Electrical accessories are rebooting with auto start/stop

    You can try this for Valentine One. Or try powering it with a savvy which connects to the OBD port which should always be powered. Or you could hardwire it using a tap a fuse to a circuit that is always hot. Also you could wire it using a mirror tap which draws power from the mirror...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Exactly. Changing resolutions is problematic with a lot of home theater equipment as well. My home theater processor will occasionally act funny when switching between 4k and hd content on netflix. It seems like this may be the problem since the blu ray which is fixed 1080p worked without issue.

    How are the headlights?

    Looking at putting in an order on a 21 Yukon Denali. How are the headlights at night? All of the dealers around me close at 5pm andI cant test the lights at night.

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    Try fixing the resolution output on the roku you were trying to use. See if that works. If the blu ray was working fine then it has to be some sort of issue that is occurring when the output resolution is changing, or try a device like an Nvidia shield which upscales cast content to the...

    Question for those that have the Rear Media/Entertainment Package...

    This sounds like some sort of issue with HDMI handshake. Take your chromecast to a TV and in the settings force the output to either 720p or 1080p and see if that works.
