    Automatic Liftgate will not lock

    4 trips to the dealership and still not fixed. The lift gate switch and motor were replaced. Service dept. says it could be a "module".

    Dusty alternator?

    I could still hear the noise when I spun the pulley by hand but I replaced the belts (ahead of schedule) and the noise subsided. I replaced them with "gates" and noticed a pretty big difference in ply/thickness.

    Dusty alternator?

    The alternator in my 08 yukon is screeching when I accelerate. I removed the serpentine belt and can hear the same sound when I manually spin the alternator pulley. The voltmeter occasionally drops from 14 to about 12 volts, but I'm not getting any instrument panel warnings. The GM service...

    Driver side door gap

    Door gap issue fixed I fixed the issue by placing a 2 X 4 at the bottom hinge and slowly pushing the door in. I guess the area of the chassis where the hinge is attached had just slightly bent out when the wind caught the door.

    Driver side door gap

    I heard a popping noise when i was getting into my 08 yukon XL and noticed that the bottom half of the driver side door and front quarter panel were meeting (no gap). The door closes and locks fine. The only thing that appears shifted is the door. I took it the collision department of the GM...
