    Traded in '08 Yukon Denali... Thank you for all the great years!

    I wanted to say "thank you" to my Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade family for the past 7 years of discussions. Yesterday, the last day of 2021, we traded our '08 Yukon Denali with 193K in on a '16 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI crew cab. Loved our Denali, but it was a win-win on the deal. I will continue to monitor and...

    Radiator Hoses - Replace if Visually Fine?

    Thank you all for your responses! Are the hoses a pretty simple DIY job? Any special tools need for the connectors? I will consult my manual, YouTube, etc., but you all are always the best advisors. We tow a 5,500 lb. hybrid camper on the flats of Wisconsin, so I want to prep while in the...

    Radiator Hoses - Replace if Visually Fine?

    2008 Yukon Denali, 6.2 L, AWD, 191,000 miles. Vehicle has original radiator/coolant hoses, but no leaks and appear fine with no noticeable soft spots or cracking. Radiator professionally flushed at 5-year marks and conditioners used. Dex-Cool always used. I came across this article about not...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Hi all - Just reporting back to this thread for the archive. The AC problem finally revealed itself in the fullest as I was pulling our camper on a 4-hour trip in WI. The clutch locked up solid and the AC belt began its loud, smelly decomposition. Nothing like being on the road pulling a load...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Just reporting back to this thread on my progress. I ended up pulling the alternator and took it to O'Reilly's for a bench test. It passed the test, but was definitely on the weaker side, so with 182K on it, I decided to replace it. Installed the new one and took it for a nice 45-minute ride...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Thanks for sharing this info. It has been pretty consistent with the symptoms. When starting the vehicle, the A/C comes on ice cold with the volt gauge showing the higher level (above 14). As soon as the gauge drops to the lower level, within a short time the air quits working. Ironically, I...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    2008 Yukon Denali, 6.2L, 181K miles. Original A/C components and alternator. Newer battery. On hot days my A/C has intermittently quit working while driving. When it happens I always notice the volt gage displaying its lower level as seen in second pic. In first pic (above 14), the AC is...

    Tool to disable tpms all together

    I bought new sensors on Amazon, 4 for $40 (mine are aftermarket "Roadfar', but you can find AC Delco on Amazon as well). I also purchased a VXDAS Auto Tire Pressure Monitor for $10 which allows you to reset the sensors. I had Walmart install them for $20. My sensors were preprogrammed for my...

    TPMS Sensor Relearn -- 3 WERE working, Now all 4 are not...

    Thank you for your thoughts! I took the vehicle to Walmart this morning to have them replace the one sensor which I had ordered on Amazon. I actually purchased 4 new sensors, so I have the other 3 in hand. I only had them replace the one dead sensor because of a time crunch. I figured next time...

    TPMS Sensor Relearn -- 3 WERE working, Now all 4 are not...

    2008 Yukon Denali, 176K. I had one weak TPMS sensor, so error light was on and dash showed PSI for only 3 of the 4 tires. I had been planning to replace the sensor on the one tire. Took vehicle to body shop for a deer collision repair. They noticed the one sensor not working and attempted to...

    Won’t fill Very strong odor of gas

    I had a similar experience. It was related to my fuel pump and gas on top of the tank where it was no longer sealed (gasket I think). Tank was dropped and new fuel pump/assembly installed. When I needed to replace the vent valve assembly, there was no gas odor, just an Evap code and issues...
