Did they figure out what the rattle sound was coming from?

They removed the metal wire coat hanger from the drive shaft.

Howd you manage to pick one of those up and get it around the driveshaft? And at least it was an easy fix

I had the greasy line on my drivers window. If you shine a flashlight into the door from the top you’ll likely see some white grease on a joint in upper part of the door. I just wrapped a long flathead screwdriver with a paper towel and cleaned it off, wipe the weatherstrip and you are good to go. No more greasy line on the glass!

Did you do this on the top or bottom of the window? Scrubbed dark grease out of 3 of 4 window seals but still getting some on the drivers glass. Wish I would have caught before the tint went on.

The wire in the driveshaft is an old prank back in the '60's....

To be honest, I haven't touched my AM/FM radio since I got my Yukon. I've been using the blutooth and satellite radio 100% of the time. What annoys me is when I switch from blutooth to listen to the satellite radio, then turn off the vehicle and exit. When I return and start the vehicle, it reverts to the blutooth instead of satellite. And that "tab" is too tiny to switch between modes... unless there's a shortcut on the steering wheel I hadn't figured out yet.

Check under settings in your infotainment system, then vehicle then there are some options if I remember for convenience options...there is something there to help you with some of your concerns...

My 21 HC Tahoe had service steering column on way to firehouse. Next morning it was gone and never came on.
Service transmission came on. I was at a light and the truck shut off on me. Started right back up. Next day no message displayed. Driving home, I got to another stop light, the truck shut completely off. No lights, no power. I got out to open hood so people can go around me, truck auto locked and I went back in and the truck started up. No clue. Might need computer updated?

Drove back and forth from Florida to Chicago. No problems.

With the random electrical symptoms my first thought is a bad battery or battery connection.

Newer vehicles are very sensitive to battery conditions.

i had it at the dealership yesterday. Couldn’t find anything and no codes. Said battery was fine. I’ll probably just end up changing the battery soon anyhow and see if that continues.
