    Baby got new shoes

    100% agree, great choice. At 35K km's I finally got rid of the OEM Bridgestones, and went with the Michelin Defenders. Night and day difference for the positive. Great tires.

    If you won the lottery and you could have any truck, what would you choose?

    I would hire the guy from "Bitchin Rides" to combine a 2020 Escalade with a 2024 Escalade. Exterior of the 2020, and interior of the 2024.

    Leaking Shark Fin

    Super, super common. I had to get mine fixed (twice). When I delivered my Yukon (2016) to the first dealership, there was a nearly new Sierra/Silverado next to me. I asked what it was there for, and the answer was "water leak from the shark fin". And the loaner Suburban they gave me also had...

    Service Brake Assist Message

    Monday morning I got the same "Service Brake Assist" warning message. Brake pedal felt strange. A lot more pedal travel, and the pedal was pulsing like the anti lock brake system was activating. Drove to work, and the entire time the problem persisted. Drove home, same situation. Called...

    Passive Entry Driver's Side Door

    Before you do anything, replace the battery in your key fob. I was having this exact issue (driver door handle entry button would not work, but all other buttons would work fine). I did some on line research, and replacing the fob battery was recommended. The reason given was, apparently the...

    How do you guys like the 15-20's?

    Very satisfied with ours. Had to replace the battery and top up the AC. Have a very intermittent "service rear camera system" message come up about once every 6-12 months, while camera system works fine. No other issues. I can't think of anything (aside from the panoramic roof) the new ones...

    Crazy "Used" 2021 Tahoe Z71 Price

    A coworker of mine just sold two cars, to the same Ford dealership. They gave him $5K more than he paid for his 2019 Jeep, and gave him only $500 less than what he paid for his 2020 Expedition. He drove the Jeep for nearly 2 years, and made money! So much for the old "lost 30% as soon as I...

    Anyone look at jumping to the new platform or you waiting?

    The looks of the 2021+ initially didn't appeal to me, but I'm slowly (very slowly) getting used to them. Of the three, the Tahoe is the best looking to me. Escalade is second, and Yukon last. The interiors are very nice, and I'm sure the IRS improves the ride. Nothing about the new ones...

    Dark Sky Metallic

    No. Dark Sky Metallic looks identical to Cadillac's Shadow Metallic. We were looking at two new Cadillac CT5 cars yesterday, one was Shadow Metallic. The Shadow Metallic was a very blue grey. I was comparing it to the other CT5, painted Satin Steel Metallic. It was very obvious that the...

    Adding badges, yes/no?

    Looks good, and looks like it should have come from the factory that way. Maybe not with the 6.2L badge, perhaps, but certainly with the High Country logo.

    Small GMC light (foot kick location)

    Exact same issue happened on my wife's 2019 Cadillac XT4. Fixed under warranty, light is clear and sharp now.

    Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

    Yes. I must like these vehicles, since I've owned three of them (2005, 2009 and 2016) all white, all SWB, all Denails.

    2021 Yukon XL Illuminated GMC Logo

    Me too. I would like to add this lighted GMC logo to our 2016 Denali.

    Is this vehicle TOO big?

    I've found our SWB Denali to be too big at times, particularly when parking (spots here are getting narrower and narrower as developers try to maximize their returns); I'm also extremely careful about underground parking (unless it is a clear 7' tall, I won't even attempt going inside). I find...

    VLand (eBay) Escalade Style Tail Light Issue

    Really cool to see an Escalade in Europe, it must be an attention-grabber from other motorists/pedestrians. We lived in West Germany in the early 1980s, and American cars were very rare to see over there then.

    Factory Console Mounted Shop Vac?

    Really looking forward to seeing your progress/installation of this!

    Anyone with a 2017 Escalade?

    Press and hold started with the 2015+ generation. I had two previous Denalis (2009 and 2005) and both were press once/seat moves. My wife's 2019 Cadillac XT4 also requires you to press and hold the memory seat buttons.

    Would you buy your Yukon/Tahoe again?

    Yes, I must love these vehicles because I've had three (2005, 2009 and 2016), all white with grey or black interiors, all SWB, all Denalis. I probably won't buy a 2021+ model because I have no need to as mine is practically brand new, and the styling doesn't really appeal to me anyway...

    Wireless charging module update, GM part number 84526978 (plug/play harness)

    Just installed the new module, and my S8 (with its Otter case) is now charging wirelessly (and indicated as such by both the phone itself and the little green lightning bolt icon next to the phone icon on the display). Little tough to get the trim panel off, but the removal/install went smoothly.

    Electrical gremlin

    Final update on this: had the battery replaced with a NAPA Legend Premium, with a 6 year warranty and more cranking power than OEM. What was concerning was the original battery (4 years old) was split, and leaking from the bottom. Luckily, the battery tray was undamaged, and everything else...

    Electrical gremlin

    Had the battery tested again, after a couple hours on a charger. Marginal result. So its being replaced with a Optima Yellowtop, which is the same battery I replaced the OEM one in our last 2009 Denali. Lesson is, if you are having electrical issues, and your vehicles is more than a couple...

    Factory Console Mounted Shop Vac?

    If it is indeed plug and play for 2015-2017 models, then I'm in! I've never used the rear cupholders, and would happily sacrifice them to add a vacuum to the Yukon. Very interested in following up on this, hopefully BlackYukon will post some in-process install pics, and pass along info about...

    Factory Console Mounted Shop Vac?

    Never seen this before, very interesting. However, I've checked multiple sites, and all say this part does not fit a 2016 Yukon. So it seems to be specific to 2018+ models. If anyone has one of these vacuums, or has installed it after the fact, I hope they chime in, maybe with some in process...

    Electrical gremlin

    So the alternator is fine, but the battery check produced an ambiguous result (the machine said the battery needed to be charged). I had driven the vehicle for about 15 minutes, and it had started fine after sitting all day. So I will take it back next week, and see what the additional check...

    Electrical gremlin

    Good idea. Does anyone have a schematic, showing where all the ground connections are located on the 2015-2020 platform?
