GMC Yukon XL 174,000 Miles.
My sister owns the 4runner. Not a pleasant truck. She spoends alot reapiring it too. Gas mileage is no better that the Yukon. Off road I am sure its better than a Yukon, but thats it. Terrible ride quality. You couldnt give me her truck.- Seamus

GMC Yukon XL 174,000 Miles.
Here you go. This guy was great about a quick turn around. Follow his instructions clearly. https://www.lt1swap.com/afm_delete.htm A great enhancement of the truck. Had no idea how much that stuttering annoyed me. The trans or TC is so much better and the mileage improved. A much nicer ride...- Seamus

GMC Yukon XL 174,000 Miles.
Recently pulled up on an accident here on a local street. Honda Accord turning hit by a pickup truck mostly head-on. Speed limit is 45 mph, no idea what they were doing. But the accord driver died at the scene. Found out the next day the passenger died at the hospital. Nothing happened to the...- Seamus

Concerns with new generation Yukon
Couldn't agree more. I had 4 trucks in the previous generation. Nightmare generation. I was so fed up with GM. Spent a ton of money trading into each one. Finally dropped them and bought a mint condition 2013 suburban for family and tow duty. Just drove the new Denali. Pretty awesome interior...- Seamus

2nd row swap bench for buckets? Florida
Thanks Buddy. Thats the exact scenario of the 1st owner. He ordered this truck with every option including the 3.42 rear and heavy duty tow package and......the 2nd row bench! He had 5 kids! He couldnt find a bench, so he ordered it as it was important to him. With 5 kids I was in shock at how... -
2nd row swap bench for buckets? Florida
Yep, I remember LWB and SWB are different, but thought the earlier years had an issue with the carpet not fitting correctly? Shouldnt be an issue on my side as I put brand new carpet in and have full coverage.? Thanks for the input -
2nd row swap bench for buckets? Florida
Hey Guys, I have a mint condition 2013 Suburban LTZ. I have second row bench in tan leather. No rips, tears, stains, smells, or wear. I prefer buckets and read of many wanting the bench for larger families. If you have the same condition, color buckets and would like to swap for the bench I am... -
In Which My Truck Saves My Ass. Literally.
Isnt the Gruven part still threaded into plastic? Is it just harder to break out ? I am all for it, as I have seen a video of a thief breaking the door handle in 2 seconds. -
The right price for Suburban 2500 6.0L?
Been a car guy my whole life, and bought many car/trucks. There is no possible way that is the accurate mileage. That odometer has been played with, no doubt. I have a 2013 Suburban that was a one owner, maintained with double that mileage....and my truck is near showroom condition and nothing...- Seamus

New Battery
The Maxx battery from walmart is one of the best. What led me to try them years ago was an article i read at that time explaining they were made by Johnstone industries? one of the larger battery manufactures. The big plus is the high turnover rate at walmart ensuring a newer battery each time...- Seamus

My AC fan sounds like it is surging.
Its either your cabin filter or battery cables is my vote. Many have had the battery cable issue with it deteriorating from the inside causing resistance. Still looks good but it isn't. The earlier trucks were more susceptible to this. I would clean all positive and negative batery cables under...- Seamus

Looking for deal
The desire for the last generation ended in 2018 and 2018 -2020 has lagged in sales even with incentives and discounts. They wont be discounting the 2021 anytime soon. They need to make their money while there is a demand. Howard Bently had 4k discounts on some undesirable colors recently but...- Seamus

The Originating Dealership Gave Me The History Report
I had a 2015 and a 2017 Yukon Denali XL. The worst generation GM ever built-never again. I was at the dealer every month or two. I felt like I worked for GM fixing their truck. Transmission out of the truck 2 times, broken AC, tons of issues, unacceptable for an 80 thousand dollar truck. I...- Seamus

09 Tahoe - Flush power steering system
As stated above suck it out refill with fresh, start, turn left to right several times. Stop, suck it out, refill, left to right again. I had to do this three times to get to a decent stae of clean. Then I drive for a day or two, then repeat the process till clean fluid. This is only for really...- Seamus

Air suspension pump on 2012 Denali
Its a great feature on the truck. When towing or fully loaded it makes the truck. I remember all the helper springs or heavy duty springs that rode terrible daily but worked only when towing or loaded. Arnott is a cheap easy fix, well worth having this option. 5-600 bucks every 100k well worth...- Seamus

Air suspension pump on 2012 Denali

Had no issues.....til I recently towed my race car. 5500 lbs 500 tounge weight. Everytime I would stop and shut truck off it would drop. Start up and pump...- Seamus

Anyone found a hack to stop WeatherTech liner sides from falling in?
I have had many brands of mats. I hated the weathertech for more than one reason but the main reason was material. Too hard and slippery. The best mat out there IMHO is the Husky X-act fit mat. Rubber and has traction also perfect fit. They dont move. If insistent on saving your mats maybe a... -
Just purchased used 2017 Suburban Premier, anything I should look out for?
I had the same issue with my 2017 Denali. Here is my post and what actually fixed it even after they replaced the compressor. Its a bad design and the sound is transmitted into the cabin. Its a cheap fix...- Seamus

Transmission Towing Temp
I have a 2013 Suburban 5.3 w/ 6 speed also. Just towed to Virginia 800 miles. It was hot out. In the moring I didnt touch 200 degrees. Afternoon 200-215 all day. 1600 miles of towing and my trans fluid is still cherry red as it was changed out 5k before I left for trip. Very important to check...- Seamus

Just purchased used 2017 Suburban Premier, anything I should look out for?
I had a 2015 Denali XL and it was a nightmare. My list was longer than yours. Dealer made good and gave below invoice pricing on a 2017 Denali XL. After 18 months and more issues I realized this generation has too many issues. For the money the comfort and quality just arent there, I bailed out...- Seamus

Replacement magnetic ride control rear shocks on 2015 Denali
The '15 and '16 Denali are about the worst riding trucks when they were new. I had a '15 and a '17. I believe only the front shocks are mag shocks. The rears are normal air shocks. They ride like an old truck. Part of my reason for getting out of that generation truck, and going back to a 2013...- Seamus
