    2017 Tahoe 4x4 Suspension is gone!

    Any updates on the above? I purchased a 2018 Suburban LT a few months back and this is the next item on the list because it is pretty rough. New oem shocks and struts should be the fix right?

    Getting back into a full size SUV.

    Well I picked up this 2018 LT with 105k on the clock a few weeks ago. It was getting unloaded from the trailer at the Chevy Dealer as I turned up. Immediately noted engine was rattling at 1500 rpm +. Worked out a deal which included new camshaft and lifters if that was the problem and of course...

    Getting back into a full size SUV.

    I owned a 2010(possibly 2011) Yukon XL from 2014 to 2019, and in that timeframe went from 100k to 170k ish miles with barely anything needed except routine wear and tear maintenance. From 2019 to May 2022 we spent time overseas. Upon our return which seemed to be the absolute height of the used...

    Front A/C problems

    2011 Yukon XL - Two days ago I was driving on the interstate and noticed what looked like smoke/vapor coming through the vents, however it was odorless. Thought nothing of it and assumed it was just a Florida humidity thing, but at the end of the drive I felt warm and noticed virtually no air...

    Adding a 2nd

    I decided against it for now. After driving it and thinking it through I'm going to update my daily driver to a full size sedan such as a BMW 5 Series.

    Best method for changing power steering fluid.

    On my most recent oil change the tech showed me the power steering fluid, and it is totally burned out and black, so a change is needed. Its' a 2011 Yukon XL 5.3, with 154k on the clock, to be honest I think it's the original fluid. #1 - Take it to a shop for a flush #2 - Turkey Baster method...

    Shopping for suburban, price range?

    Look at NADA.com to gauge prices in your area. Suburbans will on average be cheaper than Yukon XLs. Be careful of 07 (+ 08s and 09s) due to the oil consumption issues they have. Down here in Florida I picked up a 2011 Yukon XL SLE with 102k miles for $17,000.00 but NADA retail was $21,000.00...

    Which tires? 275/55/20

    Have a 2011 GMC Yukon XL with the Denali rims. The Bridgestone Dueler's that came with the truck are starting to slip pretty badly in the rain around town. Also I was recently on the interstate in moderate to heavy rain and got stuck in the rut, wasn't a big rut but it was enough to get the...

    Time for my first Denali (new to me :D)

    I'm thinking repo or it was stolen, considered a loss, but then it was recovered. Maybe flood but then it looks pretty good condition. Going to call the seller this morning, no car fax is available unless I pay for it so waiting to see if they have any info before buying a car fax. Unless...

    New to me 2011 Yukon XL SLE

    Here's a photo with the beast at home. I'm not loving the bug deflector at the front or the chrome trim but other than that I love it! We had a pretty restrictive set of needs...2nd row had to be bench seat not captain chairs and we needed to fit 3 people/kids in the third row and black...
