    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    Good point. Next fill I'm back to real gas. Unless I'm able burn through it, in a day, towing.

    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    Makes sense. Yet wouldn't E85 be less prone to phase separation than E10? More alcohol to absorb more water.

    E85...any reason Not to use it?

    2009 Yukon 5.3 with AFM disabled via Range 150,000 miles Oil changes at 3000 - 4000 miles. Mobil 1 5w30 full synthetic with Nape gold filter. No leaks. No lifter ticks. On my second full tank of E85. Have not noticed any mpg drop. Average still hangs at 14.5 mpg. Power seems good. Engine is...

    First Oil Change?

    Key factor is changing the oil. Period. You're already ahead of the game by changing it. And changing at an interval governed by your driving style, distance, and run time. One change interval Does Not fit all. My Yukon is not my daily driver, but sees longer run times. However, 3500 miles...

    Slotted and drilled rotors

    I have and they're the real deal. Very nice. No issues. Other than being able to stop on a dime. LOL! Pads are rated GG. About as good as it gets.

    Cold start hesitation

    When is the last time you all changed your spark plugs & wires? 40-50 degrees is not a cold start. -25 degrees F is a cold start. 2009 Yukon 5.3 139,000 miles. New sparkies, wires, thermostat, etc at 130,000. Turn the key, or press auto start, and go. But please be polite to the machine...

    High Pitched Sound from Rear Speakers.....Fixed!

    2009 Yukon SLT2 sometimes would have a high pitched sound from the rear speakers. Would also sometimes make a gong sound when turning off the ignition. Here's what solved my situation thanks to TahoeYukon form. A number of threads pointed to the rear climate control. Figured I'd give it a shot...

    Rear Climate Control Face Plate

    I'm replacing my rear climate control 2009 Yukon. How does the face plate remove to get to the control fasteners? Figure it's clipped in. Don't want to start prying in the wrong place.

    Brake Controller Enable 2009 Yukon...or do I really have one?

    Thanks. I'll install an aftermarket brake controller. Update, got it in. Took a bit to find the stub wires under the dash, but it's in. Two wires to connect under the hood. One for the brake power. The other for the charging circuit. Both hidden in plain sight. Thanks for the polite...

    Brake Controller Enable 2009 Yukon...or do I really have one?

    My 2009 Yukon has +/- buttons for the trailer brake controller on the shift selector. Tow/haul mode button is on the end. Nothing happens when towing a trailer equipped with electric brakes. Nothing is displayed like "trailer connected" or gain level. Is the selector on the column there even...

    My new 2012 Yukon Denali XL

    Nice ride! Congrats! I question the benefit of the dual battery set up. We just swapped out our 7 year old battery for a nice Interstate. Not that the car wasn't starting. I knew what was coming, and is now here, for our new to us Yukon. I just didn't trust a 7 year old battery in...
