    What options are/are not dealbreakers for you?

    Why would you wait? You’ll be waiting even longer in 24 And there is absolutely nothing materially far superior on the LZO. Nothing….

    Would this be a good battery?

    You can buy these at Costco or Sams Club a heck of a lot cheaper than you can at batteries plus. And free install… They are my last choice when nobody else has it, certainly not my first choice..

    Anyone Purchased Extended Warranty Plan ?

    Same here, as usually only keep a vehicle six or seven years, and I got coverage to match that timeframe. Usually when I’ve had problems with a vehicle it is showing up in about the 5th to 6th year so that’s when I hope my pay back will be….

    Selling my 2003 Yukon Denali $6000 replacing with Hyundai Palisades Limited!

    Your vehicle needs change with the times and what’s necessary. I never thought five or 10 years ago I’d be driving a big boat Denali, but it’s everything we need for this phase in our life with additional grandkids and doing long road trips.My daughter has had a palisade for three years and has...

    Bet you added the "wrong oil" to your LM2

    How to get rid of OnStar?

    Well I can assure you, there were no operable cell towers within 50 miles of Ft Myers the day after the storm nor any power to power them. (Site tower generators were either swamped or destroyed…)and none of my neighbors on all major carriers had any connectivity. Couldn’t even send a text which...

    How to get rid of OnStar?

    I’m not so sure that’s true. After Ian, there was ZERO cell service from ANY carrier for about 2-3 days. During that time OnStar was the only mode of communication with the outside world. Patched many calls thru for me at-a time when you couldn’t even get a text to go thru. Was a life saver for...

    Current pricing, 2022 & 23

    What I think is totally crazy, is I don’t even think Yukons get a 15 K mark up. But tellurides do. Also, you could go out of state, have a weeks vacation, buy the vehicle and drive home, and still be cheaper than buying it down here.

    duramax 3.0 fuel additive

    I'd definitely put in some Power Service this weekend. Can't hurt anything. Also plug it in if it sits outside and you plan on using it. If you aren't, then plug it in about 6 hrs before you go somewhere. In all reality this cold will probably hardly faze it, really....These vehicles are more...

    Current pricing, 2022 & 23

    They don’t really say, but I’m gonna assume it’s the usual basics of a wax job, some spray can rust proofing, and the VIN number etched on the window, oh and probably nitrogen filled tires!

    Current pricing, 2022 & 23

    If you think prices are crazy on Tahoes and Yukons, get a load of what they are charging at KIA down here in Southwest Florida. this disclaimer is over and above their sticker price of the vehicle which is usually higher than the actual sticker to start with… Price is plus tax, tag, title...

    2022 Orders Buyer Beware - Sitting in Texas for months

    Something is fishy there, I think. I have multiple vehicles on multiple brands of tires that sit 6 months at a time. Never a flat spot problem. These Alenza's certainly aren't all that great, but I'd be highly surprised 6 months sitting would do them in....

    Current pricing, 2022 & 23

    Most dealers around us that have stock (and that is very few…) don’t post ANY prices. It just says “please call for current price “ That means …. OVER MSRP…!

    Gm Brembo upgrade added...sluggish acceleration and much lower mpg.

    Yep , I've had sticking calipers before too, and if they are really sticking you will feel it and smell it pretty quickly.....

    DEF usage question

    Unless you are towing that sounds excessive. I never dumped in my first 2.5 gallon container till about 7500 miles and it was not down to two bars at that point. Overall I’ve got 17,000 miles on mine and I’ve only put in 7 1/2 gallons of DEF total. currently at half full.

    2022 Z71 Suburban 6.2L bent lifters

    Well it’s 4.79 around here. Still plenty High, but I believe they will come closer together by spring. Even with this issue, the dependability, torque, and range still make this package a winner by a long shot. While this is true, there are plenty of 20 page threads about 5.3 and 6.2 trucks...

    Shorted out a computer in the dash?

    Sounds like potentially a vehicle from hurricane Ian in Florida. They have taken cars in in various states from submerged over the roofs, to barely getting the bottom floor pan wet. There is a potential, however a slight potential, you may get quite a vehicle for quite a low price. But even if...

    Exhaust smell in cabin Escalade 2021

    It’s kinda like taking a Bronco to a Lincoln dealer… if they would even talk to you, they would certainly put you at the very bottom of the line. That is if they would even talk to you…You’d have better luck taking a Cadillac to a Chevy or GMC dealer then vice versa in my opinion….and the odds...

    Big remote control toy here

    Most people who have these, it’s like their 5th to 10th vehicle and is more of a conversation piece on wheels. I doubt there are many avg Joe families that use every vehicle every day and this is one of them…

    Bet you added the "wrong oil" to your LM2

    @exp500 The FAA would shut them down if they couldn't prove at every scheduled maintenance that they were using anything other than fluids that were certified and tested as acceptable by the OEM. There could be different manufacturers, but every fluid has to meet and be tested to GE’s or...

    2022 Tahoe - Rear ended a month or so ago. Got the vehicle back today with different parts...

    I'd be surprised they already exist but could be aftermarket parts. If not, then they may have cut corners on the R&R of the panel.
