    2021 MagRide blown strut

    I thought the rear shock is a strut design similar to the front on these IRS models? Are the coil springs and rear shocks divorced? https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-macpherson-strut-and-coil-spring-compressor.html Would a spring compressor like this suffice? I'm not a fan of the inexpensive...

    2025 Yukon XL Denali Ultimate

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    For 1/2 ton based SUVs, I prefer the GM especially with the way Ford went with the 2025 Expedition. But there are things that Ford does better than GM: 1. Their engines are largely proofed out at this point with the 3.5EB. GM's is having unusual problems with lifters for their NA V8s and the...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    Are you referring to the Expedition? If so, the ones with the horizontal screen have dedicated HVAC buttons/controls that are independent of the screen. We had a 2023 Expedition Max Limited as a rental for a week and a running club neighbor has a Expedition Platinum (which forces you into the...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    My opinion... is that they should have just adopted the new Chevy dashboard for the Elevation and AT4 trim levels. They can utilize the Yukon specific dashboard on the AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims. I don't mind if the vehicle is used for severe duty fleets. I think that's...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    Are those buttons (toggles) dedicated to HVAC functionality? If so, why would GMC sacrifice screen space to label them when you can just label the physical buttons? I mean, GM figured it out for the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban where they labeled the buttons (toggles) which has a more functional...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    Preferring buttons doesn't mean someone is tech adverse. Oftentimes its people in tech that see the benefit and functionality of manual controls - and have a better understanding of what needs to be analog. I have multiple monitors at work and mostly everyone has a large screen in their living...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    How easy would it have been for GMC to put stickers on them? Why would the customer need to correct GM's deficiency if it's just that easy? I'm waiting for the first forum that includes a picture of a screen failing to turn on and the user complaining about not being able to control their HVAC...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    There are no labels on the physical toggles or buttons. The labels are only on the screen. If the screen dies, there's no redundancy. If those are dedicated toggles for HVAC and their functions don't change based on what's on the screen, then why not just label the buttons and save that space...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    If the function of those buttons (toggles) on the 2025 GMC Yukon are dedicated HVAC controls, why not just label them as such? Why would they need to use the screen to provide that label? I'm not sure I would characterize those buttons as "redundant". Pricing and timing are usually even...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    Dedicated buttons, not buttons (toggles) that require the screen to be functional to use like the ones on the bottom of that vertical screen in the 2025 GMC Yukon. I think the point that was actually missed here was: GM missed the point of the majority of customers preferring buttons and...

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    ... but you're only sample size: 1. I would agree with you if GMC maintained the horizontal screen or just used Chevy's interior. I think what we're saying is that GMC "thinks" they went upmarket, but in reality, they went backwards...

    Are the 2021+ Tahoes that much better than a 2020?

    It seems like the 5.3L has less issues than the 6.2. I’m sure GM can’t afford to have problems with the 5.3L since it’s used in the police fleet.

    2025 Order Guide Availability

    You should check with the order guide and see if there are any recent constraints that would indicate that. I think on the 2024 vehicle, it would have to be a Premier trim or higher.

    https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/09/poll-should-gmc-sierra-adopt-brands-new-vertically-oriented-display/ It seems the majority prefer a horizontal display: The comments also reflect a similar ratio preferring the horizontal display over the vertical.

    Larger gas tank

    This is why I will never consider the GM 1500 in the 1/2 ton category. This seems like it would be such a simple fix.

    2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

    The Chevy interior/dash looks better/cleaner than the GM's vertical screen based dash. It's like they went backwards and achieved the opposite effect in 2025. I wish the non Denali trims used Chevy's interior because the way this is going right now, I'll be only looking at the Chevys in 2025.

    Wilwood big brake kit

    How many brake lines on modern cars are not stainless steel braided underneath? I replaced my brake lines on my BMW 335i with aftermarket stainless steel brake lines. I cut the original brake lines and to my surprise, they were stainless steel lined underneath the outer rubber layer.

    Wilwood big brake kit

    This is all true. Upgraded brakes may have better pedal feel and allow the driver to be more precision with his application of brakes - something that's more significant on a sports car or track car. I would also argue that if you're towing, it would be more beneficial to have upgraded rear...

    Wilwood big brake kit

    I was not impressed by the brakes on the GM 1500s as well as the Yukon XL/Suburban, but if I had to upgrade, I would do the PPV retrofit as that has the most bang for the buck.

    Larger gas tank

    I think people often underestimate how much DEF they actually use when the vehicle is actually loaded. Also, I'm just not that concerned about fuel cost when you're 1. buying a 1/2 ton based SUV and 2. already spending > $70k on an SUV. But if you were concerned...

    Larger gas tank

    But he tows, and the baby Duramax sucks down DEF while towing. There's quite a few threads about DEF usage in the Duramax sub-forum.
