Factory tow hitch
No I haven't done that. I had assumed all necessary fuses would be in place but good to know I'll need to do that. I was going to run up to a UHAUL nearby to test but I can probe out for voltage myself I suppose with the various lighting positions. (The 7 pin harness should be generic so I'll...- viven44

Factory tow hitch
Added a factory tow hitch on my recently acquired low mileage 2002 Yukon. It had the harness tucked underneath with a factory installed plug. The tow / haul button on the column shifter didn’t do anything when I checked it a couple days ago but hopefully it does now… (if it doesn’t I saw...- viven44

Yeah I live and work in that area... Yes it is unbelievable how many of these show up for sale with over 200k miles. I saw a few of them in the last month or so... as far as I can know the drivetrain in indestructible (pre-AFM LS engine, 4L60E), maybe some electrical gremlins in these year...- viven44

Hey there neighbor!! I'm in the North Dallas area (Richardson), how about you? I am very much enjoying the size of this Yukon. About 198" length, fits in my short driveway just fine and leaves me room to back out my other garaged truck. Many other full size cars couldn't fit in that area.- viven44

Added a 2002 Yukon 2WD with the 5.3 Vortec to the family. This low mileage one showed up … has 89k original miles … this will be one of my daily drivers. After driving 70s and 80s carbed trucks for a while this 2002 feels like a technological marvel.- viven44

Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?
That makes sense. Running richer should also avoid chance of pinging from lower octane fuel so it does make sense they may have dialed in that calibration if low-octane fuel is used. We have been using 87 Octane. We will try higher octane to see if during the break-in period the mpg figures are...- viven44

Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?
Hi all, We just bought a 2024 Suburban Z71 with the 5.3 and 10 speed transmission... now before I go further, I am not very concerned about fuel efficiency (otherwise we wouldn't have bought the vehicle) I am simply making observations and expressing some level of disappointment in engineering...- viven44

Well ours already had a problem with the backup and 360 degree cameras not working Took it to the dealer. Dealer replaced Module 87816606 - Video processing module which looks to be a >$600 OE part and of course my guess is this part needs to be reprogrammed by dealer to accept the VIN of the...- viven44

Dealer replaced...- viven44

I would have already shared forum presence but regrettably the blue oval ones have always found me (hope I'm not booted out, hehe).... I have not been successful in find my own GM trucks... probably because I know I will inherit some of my father-in-law's collection. FIL has owned only GMs over...- viven44
