Almost a new owner

Hey guys business has been good so been looking at getting a Tahoe Yukon or burban, already have an obs Yukon but looking for a nbs. Question is I see a lot of people, particularly on Facebook marketplace that advertise their rigs as 4wd but when looking at the dash pics I don’t always see the switch panel for the 4wd, so where are they usually? I thought they were only to the left of the cluster, is there somewhere else they put them? Also how good are the AWD Yukon’s? Do they have the switch panel? Are all of them AWD or do some have regular 4wd? Sorry for all the questions any help here would be greatly appreciated

Go here and download the Tahoe or Suburnan Restoration Kit.

I've not owned one but from those that I've seen and from the information above, they are to the left of the steering wheel. Some have 3 buttons and others have 4 if memory serves.

Yes as swath said, if it’s a 4WD equipped truck the electronic controls will be in the rectangularish shaped spot to the upper left of the cluster, above the headlight control. That’s the only place they would be located. If you’re unsure, ask for a pic of the RPO codes. If it’s an AWD Yukon, it won’t have that switch, however, that being said the AWD non Denali package Yukon is pretty rare. Only seen a handful of them. You might only find one or two and you would need to see the rpo sheet to verify the AWD or not. In the GMT800 all Denali package Yukon’s and Yukon XLs will be the AWD system. Other than that you’re more than likely to find a 4WD equipped Yukon.

The 2004 was a unique year for those buttons on tahoes and yukons. The tahoes and Yukons (non-denalis), were 2WD (no buttons) or 4WD with buttons.

Escalades are AWD or RWD. The AWD was an option, but based on what I have seen, it looks like near all of them were AWD. The Yukon Denali was AWD. (Didn't know there even was a non-awd denali). These AWD won't have any buttons.

If you find one you like, I would run a vin check and get the RPO codes, or see if you can get the list of them off the glovebox. From what I have seen, most people don't seem to know the difference between 4WD and AWD or don't know which one they have.

Ok thanks for the info guys, that was kind of what I thought about the switch location. I’m not too keen on the AWD so Ill just bypass those and stick with normal 4wd, don’t much care for Denalis anyway

Saw this one, they said it’s a 2500 4wd burban but the dash switch doesn’t look like a 4wd switch, what is it?

Doesn't look like a 2500s dash either, no transmission temperature gauge.

Believe that is traction control. I had a 2000 Tahoe back in the day and am pretty sure that’s what it was. We had an 04 a few years later and the button was under the center vent.

Regardless, it’s a 2WD.

Here's what the 4WD dash looks like.

A 2500 would be a great find and nothing wrong with the Denalis. That 6.0 never gets complaints from anybody on here. Then again I love my 4.8 LS Tahoe all the same. Good luck on your search.

Thanks yea I don’t know if I’m even in the market anymore. Everyone I’ve messaged/called don’t answer, won’t give details, or very few. It’s not like the old days, make a phone call you talk to someone you go look at it you close the deal. So I think I’m just gonna pump a lil more money into my Yukon

Are you actually in the Dallas (TX) Metroplex? Also, I've used adhunter.com with good success.

Last vehicle I sold on craigslist, (and others I see), I put IN THE AD "If the ad is up, it is still for sale. I will not respond to "is it still for sale?" and I don't. If I get a text that says that, I don't even bother. Scammers are also validating your contact information. You may be catching people at the wrong time, they MIGHT JUST BE IDIOTS. They might just not know. What I do, and what I like best is to text them and ask if they have 5 minutes to talk about the vehicle. Have my questions (keyword reminders) ready. Selling a vehicle is just as frustrating if not more. I wouldn't give up on a vehicle because of a few bad sellers, if that's what you want.

just in case..

I am cross posting this, and hope everyone understands why.. Lets just say it sounds like you are looking.

https://offerup.com/item/detail/608207359/01 GMC Yukon Denali (XL?) (not affiliated) $3K obo.

01 Denali black on gray with only 138K miles, just popped up yesterday, 3K OBO. Interior and Paint/body look good from the few pictures I can see. I'm pretty sure that's an XL (looking at the rear door looking like it comes all the way down) which is about the only reason I'm not interested in it. If someone is looking for one of these, I have been searching from Socal to Vegas/Utah out to dallas/san Antonio. BASED OFF THE FEW PICTURES: this is one of the cleanest, lowest price, and lowest mileage ones I have seen.

From what I have seen around the rest of the country, I could probably buy this, drive heading some kind of North with a for sale sign in the window and double my money.
