new yukon owner with questions

[Ghost10]

my previous truck was a 2003 trailblazer, it threw some p0300 codes truck only had 82k...anyways replaced spark plugs and coils $400 later, went to a dealership traded it in (didn't get much for the TB) for a 2010 Yukon with 123k for $15.9
hopefully I made a good purchase. so far since Monday truck is a beast, only gripe is the previous owner smoked, and the off brand battery. Will need to fix those two issues soon. Monday night when I got home noticed the driver side top orange bulb was not in so now their is condensation in the headlight I'm sure on a hot day I could just remove all the bulbs and hopefully that extra water will evap. tonight I notice when driving over speed bumps the front suspension sounds like plastic compressing it's weird, but the suspension feels good even at 125mph, taking hard turns etc def handles better than my trailblazer did.


I want to replace the silver bezel around the evap and stereo with wood grain for a matchy matchy look. I'd love to get the nav too but can't drop $600 right now have two kids to feed etc.

I noticed tonight that I can only use a car seat in the mid row, on the passenger side or middle. for some reason there is no second hook on the driver side... weird. also, why Saint they put a light in the rear cargo area....? the interior lights stop at the seats which makes the back where groceries go or whatever super dark at night. might need to figure out some sort of light for the back.

I just bought a new Yukon myself. I looked into the China knock off nav units. And found this place. www.eincar.com They are also sold on amazon with pretty good reviews. For $200 or less you can get a top end android unit for your two din 6.2 inch screen or 7 inch screen to fit your dash. Normally a Kenwood or Pioneer would cost you $700. Then you need about $200 in parts to hook it up and have a back up cam from amazon. If your interested I can post a laundry list of those items.

All I wanted really was a back up cam. As I use my phone on the dash for everything else. But for the same price as a cheap Crutchfield unit. You can get all the bells and whistles. I ordered mine last week. Will do a write up once it’s installed.

They don't make one that matches. You'd have to make your own or vinyl over it all to match.


For the lower model Tahoe's, they can get the LTZ trim, however, for Yukons, the Denali trim is a darker wood all together for the entire wood grain of the dash/doors.

yes, but by all means, try it...

You could also go to Autotrader.com, check Yukons for sale, and see if in any of the pics it has a wood bezel.

Another option is to get the silver tahoe z71 interior pieces over glovebox/dic to match your silver bezel. Third option is replace all 3 with tahoe ltz lighter wood look trim...

I haven't seen one with a brushed silver bezel, not sure how I feel about that. I want to replace the silver parts on my wheel for the wood grain kit, but they are expensive!

Try burlwood vinyl wrap. I found a denali cup holder for my 2013 tahoe but it was pretty scratched up. I got a roll of dark burlwood vinyl wrap from ebay and wrapped the cup holder. My existing wood trim does not match exactly to the wrap but I like the color more on the vinyl wrap themy my existing wood trim. I got enough of it that I think I'll wrap the existing parts to Match it all up. Its not hard at all and just need a heat gun.
