    The Most Reliable Duramax Diesel Engines ...

    I'm gathering information on the new LZ0 before I place an order for a 2025 Yukon XL. I'm facing a consequential choice between the LZ0 and the 6.2 V8. So I focused on this paragraph: "Too soon to tell: 3.0-liter LZ0 (2023 - present)" Looks like a welcome improvement over the LM2. But the...

    Epic Mexico Eclipse Road Trip

    Awesome trip. What about personal safety/security (crime) in that part of Mexico? Which parts to avoid? And what time of the year would be the best, weatherwise, to go there?

    2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali 3.0L Diesel ORDER

    Did you drive it from TX back to WDC or have it transported? What about the (temporary) registration? And where did you pay the sales tax? If I order from a dealer in TX and want to drive it to CA, will TX collect the tax and issue a transit registration?

    Buy a New 2024 Yukon or Tahoe or wait til 25s

    No man or machine is infallible. As the old saying goes, if it has balls or tires, she'll have problems with it (or something like that). The LZ0 doesn't have much of a track record - looks good on paper though. Actually the LZ0 looks so good that it makes the LM2 look bad because it replaces it...

    I agree on "dependability". And if GM could guarantee that a Duramax and all of its diesel-exclusive equipment (including the turbo and the alphabet soup of emissions acronyms like DPF, DEF, SCR which I don't want) in my new Yukon will NEVER break, I would forget about "the awesome V8" as BacDoc...

    Buy a New 2024 Yukon or Tahoe or wait til 25s

    I agree. For me, it's the reliability, too. I get an anxiety attack just thinking about a major breakdown on a road trip far away from home. Just like what happened to Paul Owens who six months ago described his experience: "I own an 2022 GMC 1500 with an LM2 3.0 Duramax. I recently returned...

    How do you keep diesel from gelling in Nova Scotia? Do gas stations sell a winter blend or do you need to add an anti-gel treatment to your tank? Does your vehicle pre-heat the fuel before it's pumped to the injectors? It doesn't snow where I live. If I fill up at home and drive to a ski resort...

    That looks impressive and in line with the EPA rating of 21/23/27 for the 3.0L diesel on https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2024_GMC_Yukon.shtml Yesterday, tom3 on this forum reported the average of 23 mpg on a 500 mile trip with his 5.3L Tahoe and he hand checked the readout. That's quite...

    You say: "I decided to wait for the 2025. The main reason was to get the newer diesel. " and "I live in southern California (not too close to the ocean) so vehicles tend to last here plus I don't drive that much anymore." Please tell me why do you want a diesel if you don't drive that much...

    dmax 3.0 and the cold (-30F)

    I'm debating between a new 6.2L and a Duramax. I will have to park outside without the block heater in -10F sometimes. How well does a diesel perform in the subzero temperatures of ND? Any trouble starting up in the morning?
