Towing Question about the Squat
Careful here guys. Don't want to lead folks astray, especially those who may be new and looking for something specific. It's confusing enough with GM putting holds on various packages and/or components. Some of what can and can't be had is because of availability, not because it can't be...- Pro299

Def Fluid pumps
Just FYI. My dealer specifically mentioned they did not recommend using the DEF pumped at truck stops. Not sure if the OTR tractors use a different formula or what but they recommended only use individual jugs from a recognized brand.- Pro299

Knocking sound driving me insane!!!
Could be air buffeting the glass. That's a large surface and under quite a bit of negative pressure at speed that would change rapidly from crosswinds. That would tug on any connectors that are loose or in close tolerance to other surfaces. Have you tried judicious use of pressure on the roof... -
Oil Leak From New
Remember the old trope: "Don't sweat the small stuff." So far there doesn't seem to be any consistent issues with the 3.0. Just an occasional random small thing like this. After a year, I'm liking mine more all the time and I expect you will too. Well, except for that whole price of diesel...- Pro299

Full sized spare?
In that case, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Size is within an inch or so in diameter of the stock spare and width isn't a limitation since there's nothing underneath. Why not pull one off yours and test fit before buying another wheel/tire? -

Max AC?
If yours isn't going full blast when it starts then it needs to be checked out. I just got back from a trip to the fitness center with the Yukon sitting outside in the sun when the temp was 97. At startup the AC fan was on high. Within a quarter mile it started slowing and within a mile or so... -
2022 suburban LS screen upgrade
Well, when the VIN on your Suburban is put in the GM system it will only do a reflash or update for the small screen because GM database knows that's what it came with. I know in years past if a different model component were used, the computer could be 'fooled' by using the VIN from a model...- Pro299

Thanks. Mine arrived Saturday. Seems to work fine.- Pro299

Climate and Light sensitivity issue
Yeah, that's been the default for years now with automatic temp control. My 09 G8 did the same thing. Winter months i just hit the AC button and then turn it on again in the spring. -
Rear Media Screen Protector
At first, there was nothing available, so I bought a pair of protectors that were slightly smaller and used those. I think they were for a tablet or something. I noticed a custom fit set is available now on Amazon, but when I saw they were almost $60/pair I hit the pause button. I expect...- Pro299

Clear bra?
Yeah, a bunch of us are using films of one brand or another. I chose not to put it on the hood since the Yukon hood is not exposed up front, but the rest of the front is covered. A search should yield more info. -
2021 Tahoe Braking performance?
Haven't noticed a problem, but pedal feel and modulation is pretty subjective. One person's ideal is overboost and too aggressive for others. If you think there's an issue with your vehicle, find an empty stretch of road and hammer the brakes at 50 MPH or so. If the ABS activates, then the...- Pro299

Center Console Safe, Anyone?
Mine was set to 0000. The instructions to change it were inside. Why anyone would mess with it, I don't know. The procedure to change the number precludes an "accidental" reset. -
22” vs 20” wheels
So true. I'm in the other camp. I'm old enough to want to see some meat on those rims. Wrapping a rubber band around the wheel just looks goofy to me. If the tire diameters used today weren't so big, I'd be looking to swap the 20's for some 18's which some have done and look good, too. To... -
Exhaust brake operation
I've noticed on downhill grades that if I use ACC rather than regular cruise control, it will stay within three or so miles per hour of the set point. I don't use tow/haul unless I'm actually towing. The calibration for shift points and RPMs will be significantly longer and higher than normal...- Pro299

Garment hook
I've noticed that, too. Poor design. Are there hooks in the back of the Tahoe as well? My XL has additional hooks in the back, but again, their placement makes them all but unusable without lowering the third row seat backs. Haven't found a work-around, yet. -
STELLAR Fuel Milage
Ha. I agree. Unless we're running late, I generally cruise interstates at 77 or so, 80 tops. Feels like I'm poking along as I'm passed by nine out of 10 vehicles around me. And not by just a little. Most must be in the 85-90 range. Almost reminds me of the years we lived in Germany. All I...- Pro299

How happy are you with your 2021/22 Tahoe/Yukon?
There has been much discussion about the build dates, but these and similar GM V8's have been dumping lifters for almost 15 years. The only common thread seems to be the skip cylinder flavor used at the time of build. Doesn't happen to all vehicles, but a few will eventually fail. I had an...- Pro299

Bad ride and noise?
I doubt if much has changed since the last time this was asked. See if the dealer will let you and their technician drive a similarly equipped HC, and compare on the same roads. My Denali with MRC, no bags, and 20's is not rough riding, nor is it noisy. In fact, it is the smoothest and...- Pro299

2021 Denali Diesel 3K miles engine and transmission issues
Bummer. I'd be ticked off, too, but with multiple sensor dependent codes like those I'd bet it's not really a problem with the engine or tranny. More likely a module, wire, connector, sensor or such. Keep us posted and let us know what you find out.- Pro299

2022 YUKON XL tailgate opening dimensions..
It's not straight across the top. At the corners mine's about 31 inches tall and 32 roughly in the center. Width is about 49 inches at the floor, but that too drops off near the top where it's rounded off. -
Suburban third row cargo dimensions
Not just side to side, but top to bottom, too. Those dimensions are spot on behind the third seat. I think they must be referring to total cargo space. Maybe if the third row is down, the space to the second row or above it is greater. I doubt they would make the claim if the space weren't... -
Chip/scratch prevention preferred method?
Well, to a minor degree, this may be true, but a protective wrap will stand up waaaay better than paint and quality wraps are self-healing to a degree. My last vehicle was a G8 GT and everyone on the forums complained about how the front quickly got covered in dings and nicks. I covered the...
