    6.2 recall question?

    As a former Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and every other GM BOF SUV owner, the laminated (AKA “acoustic glass”) door window glass does make a difference on a couple of fronts. First, it does dampen the transmission of outside noise in the cabin. Second, and from a personal experience standpoint, it is...

    Wireless Carplay adapter problems

    I had intermittently successfully used the Carlinkit 5.0 in my ‘23 Lexus GX 460. It would sometimes link automatically, but most of the time I had to manually launch it. Did the firmware update-no change. However, ever since I upgraded from an iPhone 13 to the 16 Pro, it immediately connects...

    Is Cadillac dealer service any better than GMC?

    While many, many years ago Land Rovers dominated the Outback and worldwide safari markets. Sadly in recent decades all versions of Rovers have coveted the bottom end of vehicle quality ratings. That rugged off road market has been dominated by Toyota. Their Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser Prados...

    Is Cadillac dealer service any better than GMC?

    Pains me to say it after being a loyal GM guy until about 7 years ago, buy the Lexus. I have had four BOF Lexus SUV's and all have been great quality. (Still own three.) Lexus service has been fantastic. If you ever have the need to leave your vehicle even for an oil change because you...

    From Lexus to Chevy?

    Hi Bobby. Sorry to hear that your $90k Lux+ is a bust. I have had 4 GX460's (still have three). I had the HOTS for two years to get the new 550. I finally drove one. It was very underwhelming. I was dumbfounded by it's austere interior and lack of room. I thought it was going to be quite a...

    The lawsuit should have been for more $

    The only one that was legit was the GMPP warranty prior to them going into bankruptcy. I had it on my 2010 Tahoe LTZ, and used it well beyond the original factory warranty. I would agree that these third party warranty outfits that spend megabucks scaring unwitting car owners are largely scams.

    Buy a New 2024 Yukon or Tahoe or wait til 25s

    One of my full sized GM SUV's had the power steps. (Escalade) Based on my personal experience, if you live in an area of the country that uses salt on their roads, the power steps over time will most likely be affected and seize. Mine were replaced under warranty, but my guess is that unless...

    2023 XL Denali ticking noise (this is the replacement truck for the one that had 2 engines die)

    These horror stories on $100k GM trucks are nauseating. Was a LONG time GM guy. Get a Lexus LX or Toyota Sequoia, change the oil, rotate the tires and do the longer term maintenance stuff, and you you can drive them until you find something new and shiny 10 years from now.

    Buyer Beware - Don't Buy a Yukon

    Have owned many, many GM cars, and all of the GMT900 SUV platforms (Yukon, Tahoe, Escalade) as well as all of the GMT360 BOF variants (Trailblazer, GMC Envoy Denali, Buick Rainier, Saab 9X). All of these older generations were bulletproof. (Had a raft of bells/whistle related problems with the...

    Yukon water torture

    Agree with B-train. The OP was simply stating his experience with his truck. Are forum members only permitted to post rainbow and unicorn stories about their experiences? As a former owner of multiple GMT 900 platform trucks, Yukon, Tahoe and Escalade, I too had fond memories of my 2010...

    another warranty issue with the wife's '21

    Not nice dude. This forum is a community to communicate and exchange experiences, and advice on solutions and handling problems, both in and out of warranty. When one spends $70-$90k on a vehicle, you’re entitled to expect a high quality product and service experience. The quality of these...

    2023 Tahoe RST

    I had the exact problem with one of my previous Tahoes. The dealer owner is a friend of mine and he told his guys to Road force balance the tires. Issue solved. Each tire on your RST weighs about 40-42 pounds, plus the weight of the rim (at least another 20 pounds?). As good as the current...

    Brake bleeding - need sanity check

    Awesome! So you had a double whammy...bleeder on the bottom of a "new" and bad caliper with a stuck piston! I could see why you were second guessing your sanity! My guess is that these are "brand new" reman calipers. Wonder if the same company sells to both Autozone and CarQuest? In any...

    Brake bleeding - need sanity check

    Should work fine. Same principle.

    Brake bleeding - need sanity check

    I'm all in with Just Fishing...I used to do amateur road racing and bled the brakes (by myself) on my Corvette every week that I was going to be at the track. (brake fluid is hyGROscopic: it attracts moisture and is deadly on the track. People say that they "boiled" their brake fluid...what...
