Another Newbie from Oregon

[Gemali Clunk]

Hi friends!

New to the forum here. Still snooping around and looking at forums on parasitic battery draws. Here's to joining forums out of necessity. Lol.

2004 Denali, about 270k. 1/2 ton shorty. Just bought it from a friend a week ago. It's been in his family since new. So kind of a one owner. It's pretty original. Just worn. Interior has been manhandled by toddlers. Anyway, wanted to post here to show off my $450 ride!

Currently sleuthing these issues:
-Major front driver side inner tire wear
-HVAC heat stuck on high heat... can't seem to shut it off lol
-Parasitic battery drain--3.4A draw!
-Quarter stuck in rear cupholder...
-Leaking sunroof--currently flex-seal taped!
-University of Washington sticker in rear window
-

Looks to be in excellent condition!
Please post all your issues in the 2000-2006 section. Thank You!

Welcome. Definitely worth the money. So far your issues don't seem that bad. All fixable things.
Lots of great members here willing to offer their knowledge.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

Since you got it from a family/friend with a Wa. sticker, I am assuming you are near Portland.

I have a 2005 Tahoe and has a sun/moon roof and I never use it annd am waiting for a leak. I wish I never had it. I treat the seals all the time. No leaks so far.

Howdy Neighbor!

I am near the metro area. I live in Newberg--the rig was purchased in Canby. I drive into Portland for work often. What part of town are you in?

Lol. I've owned probably close to 20 different vehicles at this point in my life (all used) and this is the first with any kind of sunroof. It's a great first experience. I may just leave the flex tape up there for now.

I live, regretfully, in Pewgene. Looking to get out in the country a little farther, like maybe outer limits of Coburg. I actually want to live over closer to the coast but my girl needs to stay closer to the airport.

We got home 3 weeks ago from a road trip where we visited the beautiful state of Oregon.
Crater Lake, Oregon to be exact.
Greetings, and welcome from NY!

When you were at Crater Lake, did you drive the rim and when you get out the little critters come up to you wanting to be fed.

That is a beautiful place.

Did you go see the Multnomah Falls?

We did not go see Multnomah Falls.
But we did spend (2) days in Crater Lake. Day two we toured the lake by boat.

The water looks so blue--like it's fake.

But it is real for sure. A lake in the middle of a crater and an island in the middle of the lake. Has a very calming effect when you stop and take it all in.

STEGO tape will work for a few years until the UV's get to it.
