Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.
We've got just shy of 12K on my wife's ride and they're only showing minimal wear. I just had them rotated for the 3rd time when it was serviced last week and I was pleasantly surprised when the tech was going over them. My wife isn't easy on it by any stretch either. When I got in it to wash it... -
Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel
I completely understand but again, you're projecting the issues of the 2022 onto the 2024 without ever finding out the cause of one check engine light. Could be something as simple as a module not being plugged in completely.- rswaug

Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel
My only point was that if the 2024 is never diagnosed, you have no idea of why the check engine light is on, which now has you chasing down a replacement. It's America so you're free to do as you please but I'd at least have them attempt to fix it before throwing in the towel. Who's to say the...- rswaug

2023 Tahoe Premier Oil selection
My 2023 Denali with a 6.2 has the dynamic fuel management. The microprocessor issue that deleted the DFM was relegated mostly to 2022 MY and some 2023 units so lots of them roaming the streets with it.- rswaug

Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel
I just so happen to manage a Chevrolet store and have dealt with my fair share of service issues. I'm certainly not discounting the fact that you've had problems with the 22. It just seems like a knee jerk reaction to have a unit bought back without even diagnosing the issue. The 24 is suffering...- rswaug

Beware: GM Nightmare - Defective 2024 and 2022 Yukon Diesel
Is it a matter of finding a suitable replacement for the 2024? I'm kind of shocked that they're repurchasing a 2024 after one warranty claim. Have they diagnosed the problem? It's not uncommon for a vehicle to have multiple error codes stored from a check engine light.- rswaug

2023 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L dead at 10K miles
Assuming it's the first repair, they're definitely not going to buy it back that easily. Now as it's been said before, if it goes past 30 days, they're in a position that they're required to buy it back. Replacement 6.2 engines are definitely an issue nationally. We had one that sounds like it...- rswaug

New 2025 Tahoe Z71
You are correct on the headlamps and on the Z71 there is a fog light mounted in the lower front fascia.- rswaug

FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali
You may want to check with a local notary or messenger service in your state before you get all revved up. In PA, we have a secured power of attorney that we can use to transfer ownership in the meantime while waiting for the lien to be released and the physical title to arrive. My assumption...- rswaug

6.2L or Duramax reliability
If you go with the 6.2, just run premium gas and stay regular on oil changes. Most of the issues you’ll hear about stem from the owners not doing one or both. Most of the issues were also relegated or a run of late 21s and early 22s as well.- rswaug

2023 Yukon XL or Standard?
Just my opinion, but I think the Suburban / XL is just a better looking ride. The proportions just make more sense to my eyes. You can always spread out if you aren't using all of the room in the Suburban or XL but you can't magically add room to a Tahoe / Yukon.- rswaug

Should I trade my 16 Denali for a RST?
If you're using your current Denali as the measuring stick, you'll be mostly satisfied with the RST. The only real differences are the heads up and ventilated seats. The RST will give you the new dash with the digital display, wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, possibly the sliding center...- rswaug

Need suggestions - After the mess I have gone through over the past 9 months, what should I ask GMC to do? Vehicle repurchased, new vehicle in shop
GM will cover your payments while the vehicle is in the shop, assuming it meets the time requirements. The dealership will have to submit a copy of your contract to prove what your actual payment is. There is also a limit on the amount of the payment but it's pretty substantial so that shouldn't...- rswaug

If you had a do-over, Would you buy your duramax all over again?
I'm probably guilty of over maintaining my vehicles so I'm not too concerned with normal maintenance. More worried about having to do timing related services. Looks like it's jammed in there pretty good so I can only imagine what kind of time it would take to do major engine maintenance or...- rswaug
