    Exhaust brake operation

    I asked my mechanic about it. He took a look and said GM is using a variable vain turbo, and that is essentially an exhaust brake if the vains are moving as they should. He said not expect too much, it isn't going to provide anything near the exhaust braking on the 6.6, Detroits, or Cummins. As...

    Just took delivery!

    They look just like the OEM Lug nuts, they are not the old style with a pattern at the top of the lug. The 6 sided part of the lug looks OEM, but it just spins, the key socket fits over it and the actual lock is at the bottom of the lug, can't see it all unless you look for it. I have always had...

    Just took delivery!

    Just for curiosity, those with 22" wheels, if those are part of a package there should be wheel locks included. Dealer forgot mine, different dealer forgot neighbors.

    fuel filter change @ dealer

    Luckly for me, the 3.0 and the 6.6 take the same fuel filter. The problem with dealers is MSRP for the filter is $69.38, you can get the same OEM Filter for $20-$30 in the open market. If you buy them in bulk for $17.88 a piece delivered if you have a friendly dealer that will work with you. The...

    Windshield Wiper Judder after new glass

    Had wipers do that on an old 95 GMC pickup. Went to the dealer, mechanic walked out, opened a Coke, poured some on a rag and proceeded to clean the windshield. After he cleaned it with eth Coke, he use some sort of glass cleaner in a can, wiped it off. Never had the problem again. He said Coke...

    Lemon '22 Tahoe

    I always wondered if mine goes down this route if I would Lemon Law it or not. I am still on the fence. I have 2 neighbors, one is on their 3rd Lemon Law in 2 years, all different brands, the other Lemon Law'ed his Explorer, grabbed an Expedition. the Expedition is worse than the Explorer. Both...

    Is Denali trim on constraint

    Allotments are not the same as constraints. Allotments means the Dealer cannot order it as they only have x number allocated to that dealer. Other Dealers may have allocations and be able to order it now. A Constraint means GM isn't building any, and no dealer can order it.

    Is Denali trim on constraint

    I doubt they are on constraint, there are some in transit, likely built in the last few weeks. I would almost guess it's the dealer who has no allocations. Call around to a few other dealers, see what they have to say. I ordered mine this past March, it showed up the end of April. If it were...

    Another one on the Wireless Charger

    I purchased the Boost Auto. Both the wife and I use it more than the OEM one in the center console. We also found if you slide the console back, the folks in the rear seat can also use it. The install video is a bit flawed if you have the sliding console, or RES. If you have RES, there are 4...

    Another one on the Wireless Charger

    I haven't had an issue with wireless charging, but the small area they give you, then someone else uses a USB to charge, makes it difficult to get my phone out. I ended up adding a charging pad to the console lid. Now we can charge 2 at a time without cables.

    It takes 3 days from Texas to SoCal, I would think AZ would be the same or less.

    Built and ordered a 2023 Yukon

    Depends on the dealer. Mine sent me the GM WorkBench Order that showed the vehicle, options, and GM Order Number. When it was produced they sent an updated GM WorkBench Order showing the VIN and it was produced as ordered. I guess it's a dealer issue. Locally they are still marking Yukon's up...

    23 Denali/Super Cruise Defective

    So far mine works, changes lanes by itself, changes lanes when I activate the turn signal manually. Things I found that are just quirks, if you activate the turn signal manually and it isn't 3/4 of the way into the lane you are changing into, it changes back. I found using it in Carpool lanes...

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    I asked the Inventory Manager at the dealership. They are the ones that order vehicles and are responsible for the order from the time they receive it from sales, to delivery at the dealership, making sure sales knows it is there, and the prep was done. We received it the 3rd week of April...

    Escalade EV announced

    I have owned a battery-electric, no thanks. One long trip, finding charging stations that were non-existent, not operational, blocked by vehicles using them for parking and not charging, and the icing on the cake was waiting for a charger for 3 hours in a line in Barstow. We bought a Mirai 2...

    Installed an Auto Start/Stop Eliminator… works great, buy one!

    The 23 is even easier. My mechanic installed mine while I stood there. Remove the lower panel, then the side panel. There is 1 screw holding the button assembly in place, remove it. Take a trim tool and snap the switch panel out of the dash. Disconnect the switch wiring harness, plug in the new...

    Tuning???

    One of the issues with tuners, if you have any major drivetrain issues, the dealer will download the entire ECM. If there are changes it will show up, and they will likely void the warranty. Happens on the diesel side all the time.

    Having major trouble with a dealer. Anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

    You should be able to get the info from the Service manager, but if they are not cooperative, you can always call Customer Service and ask for the Rep to call you.

    Having major trouble with a dealer. Anyone have any advice on how to proceed?

    What I do, and what I tell my employees to do, if they see it sitting out back, ask to go get something, take a grease pencil, mark a tire so you can see if it is just sitting, or if they are actually working on it. If it's dead, they can't do OTA updates, or diagnostics. You can always call the...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 disabled after software update

    The Infotainment on many new cars control more than just a radio. So far we have had 2 Ford's bricked the same way. Most of what I am reading, unable to vehicle in Neutral, any competent tow company should be able to so that, they did with the 2 Fords we had to have towed, both of which sat for...

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    My wife drove her new Yukon around for 2 days before the email came with the "It's been delivered to your dealership" email. I almost went back and asked them for e 2nd one lol. I am not sure why GM lags with updates, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.
