    Extra fuel tank

    Ford and RAM had 36 gallon factory tank options for the 1/2 ton trucks but I'm not seeing them listed on their "build and price" tools anymore. As far as larger aftermarket tanks for the gas versions the searching I do online usually turns up in a dead end and I saw something on another forum or...

    Extra fuel tank

    As far as I can tell, previous generations of the Yukon/Tahoe/Silverado had a larger fuel tank as a factory option but this is no longer the case. I have even noticed that some of the other manufacturers seem to be quietly discontinuing their larger fuel tank options.

    lifted,leveled or lowered?

    I think if you're going to raise or lower the truck seems best to start with something that doesn't already have factory magnaride or air ride. Truthfully I kinda shake my head at the guys around here who mess with the fancy factory suspensions and then have a million questions about trying to...

    Why the switch to big rims?

    Very happy to have 18s but I've also got the lowest trim package. When it comes time to replace the tires I also should have lots of options at lots of price points. Honestly most of those trims will take smaller rim sizes within reason, shouldn't be hard to downsize your 20s to 18s or your...

    Any Denali Owners Found a good A Pillar Passenger Grab Handle Solution

    GM is like a player who starts celebrating at the 10 yard line only to twist their ankle and fumble before they can get into the end zone.

    2.7 Turbomax

    I've heard that GM is going to give a 6 year/100,000 mile engine warranty on the 2.7 in the trucks. Do the same thing for the SUVs, well I'll bet there are some burned DFM customers who wouldn't mind a warranty like that.

    New Tahoe owner looking for advice

    Still boggles my mind the way that Toyota and Honda will throw in ACC on practically every model from the base trim to loaded - meanwhile GM, Ford, and Stellantis want you to "PAY UP, FOOL!" Give what a Z71/AT4 MSRPs for even with no options lack of ACC would really frost my cookies.

    2013 Yukon Denali: Repair or Purchase a new vehicle

    How long have you had it? Are you the original owner or do you know the vehicle's history with reasonable certainty? Personally I'd do the repairs but then once I finish payments on a vehicle I start to lay the money aside from the payments in savings to cover the kind of stuff you just...

    5.3 Guys, opinion on oil change intervals

    No we did TWO oil changes in 10K. Two free oil changes from the dealership. Every 5000 because they were paying for them. Oil monitor on the last oil change actually said there was roughly 30+% oil life remaining. Wife insists on dealership service (her car loan, her maintenance money etc.)...

    5.3 Guys, opinion on oil change intervals

    (Forgive if this question has already been asked, couldn't find it in my search.) Just had the 2nd free maintenance on our 2023 Yukon with just a shade over 10,000 miles (our dealer adds one free maintenance to GMs one provided at sale.) Oil change, tire rotation... Wife is planning on keeping...

    Swap captains for bench 22 and up

    Order an SLE and get benches in ALL THE ROWS! (I kid, I kid.) As the owner of someone with a middle bench and have had things flipped forward etc it doesn't look to me like there's any difference in the floorpan.
