    Noise

    Thank you for trying to help,problem is I live in a small country where over 80% of cars are still stick shifts as you guys would say. There is just no need or demand for auto trans mechanics here. Ive had a place in England recommended to me but it’s 350 miles away and won’t be cheap

    Noise

    2008 Denali After much confusion and changing pulleys/belts/water pump it seems the noise I have is transmission related.A bit of a wail on startup and it flares a bit on acceleration into 2nd gear and again a bit on downshifts but is silent when she warms up.Still drives perfectly. I am in...

    Noise

    It’s standard left hand drive.Slight in and out play on power steering pulley,aircon disconnected no belt so it’s not that.Noise from pump(I think) seems too much for a fluid change to fix

    Noise

    Steering has had slight squeak since I bought it 8 years back,it’s never been run dry that I know of.Im picky about maintain and keep on top of most things. Noise definitely coming from that area at front passenger side of the engine,power steering pump is the only thing left I think it can be?

    newbie with American car

    Welcome to the forum,lots of great advice on here on almost any issue.I’ve asked and been helped many times. I run a 2008 Yukon Denali and live in Scotland.I’d recommend a BlackBear tune to help power and economy My 6.2 returns over 23mpg on a run after the tune and it drives far better

    2008 Denali alignment spec

    Thank you for that. Absolutely no chance of my local garage knowing the stand specs. Having a Yukon Denali XL over here is only slightly less strange than rocking up in a flying saucer But then petrol(gas) is £1.30 a litre here........or about $6.50 a gallon
