    Anybody else get the 20s on their Denali?

    Here's mine with the 20s.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! LOW OIL PRESSURE

    I've had a similar situation and it turned out to be the premium oil filter, I can't remember the brand, was too small in volume and restrictive which caused erratic readings. Changing to an OEM or standard oil filter would be and easy and inexpensive test. Now I use WIX or Napa Gold on my...

    5.3 vs 6.2 octane

    I ran an 07 Denali XL for ten years until I bought my 2017 Denali XL pulling a 28' trailer for my race car, golf cart... I find that 93 octane works best for me, especially in hotter weather. I also use less gas trailering on higher octane, especially when I am running at highway speeds. For my...

    Towing capacity

    I have owned and towed race trailers for decades. I purchased an 07 Denali XL new an ran it for 10 years before buying a 2017 Denali XL, both with trailer packages and no further upgrades except ceramic brake pads and cryo rotors, and have towed a 28' Forest River enclosed trailer with a 3,000...

    Yukon Denali 6.2 towing Travel Trailer

    I have a 2017 Denali XL and easily tow and stop my 28' Cargo Mate race trailer (4,500 lbs) which holds a 3,000 lb race car, 800 lb golf cart, tools, and crew of three - 11,000 lbs. total. Previous to that I had a 2007 Denali which towed it with some effort, especially on off-ramp braking. Both...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    FWIW and depending on what you are towing, the Escalade is not the preferred tow vehicle due to their tall wheels. Google: truck wheel size and trailering. I have been towing a race trailer for over 25 years with Suburban's and Denali's and most recently purchased a new 2017 Denali with...

    PLEASE HELP!!! I can NOT figure out what this noise is...

    It's hard to tell without hearing it firsthand, but it sounds like vibration caused by airflow. Did you add something new like a CB or cell phone antenna? Maybe some other air deflector

    2017 Denali XL extendable towing mirrors similar to 2500/3500 HD option

    That would be a good solution, but one will still have to figure out and re-position the wires in the 18-pin connector since the accessory configuration is different between many vehicle models. In a different thread I have seen that pgamboa has figured out, through a lengthy process, the wire...

    2017 Denali XL extendable towing mirrors similar to 2500/3500 HD option

    Sorry for some bad news, but after a short delay while attempting a wiring work around I am returning the mirrors. Even though 1A Auto website advertises "GUARANTEED TO FIT" it doesn't since the 2017 Yukon XL, Denali has power folding mirrors. I looked at the GM Sierra/Silverado Service Manual...

    Outstanding help! I'm ordering a pair today with the blind spot feature which is a little more expensive, but worth the safety. https://www.1aauto.com/2017-gmc-yukon-xl-side-view-mirrors/y-mo-c/2017-636-23

    2017 Denali XL extendable towing mirrors similar to 2500/3500 HD option

    I understand that the wiring on the 2017 or newer Yukon/Denali and Escalade have proprietary wiring different than the Silverado/Sierra pick-ups. As a result, I have not been able to find extendable towing mirrors similar to the 2500/3500 HD option for my vehicle and towing needs. Strap-on...
