    Weak Radio Signal from NAV Head Unit

    I have a 09 Yukon Denali. I'm getting one FM station with a decent signal. All the other FM stations are poor if not there at all. This must be a common GM issue cuz my 02 Sierra basically has the same issue but worst. My wife's MDX has no issues. I doubt it's our location. Anyone?

    Very weak FM Signal from Navagation Radio

    Basically the same issue here. I have a 09 Yukon Denali. I'm getting one station with a decent signal. All the other stations are poor if not there at all. This must be a common GM issue cuz my 02 Sierra basically has the same issue but worst. I replaced the factory radio with an...

    Cold Start Engine Knock Concern 09' 6.2L

    If like mine, I was able to clean the MAF sensor to correct the rough idle. Resolved my check engine light. Once you know the code that will get you going in the right direction.

    Cold Start Engine Knock Concern 09' 6.2L

    Actually I just got the yukon back from the dealer. Never a good place to take a vehicle for warranty work if you ask me. Took 3 weeks and they actually did nothing but let the truck idle. At first they said no noise. I had to tell them to drive it! Then the tech and ext. warranty adjuster...

    How the hell do I remove those last bolt?!?

    I went with set of slotted and dimple rotors from Brake Performance with OE pads for my wife's MDX. So far so good on noise, performance and rust. My brother has a set on his C5 and has been happy with them. My biggest issue is rotors that have hats that rust. Makes any nice rim and tire...

    Whining noise

    A rear end would make a "whine". if you hear a humming sound then it could be electrical. Try turning off your radio. I have an Alpine in my sierra and it will hum and change pitch with the rpms. Even if the volume is cut low. I turn radio off no hum. Also I recall a friend with tires that...

    Whining noise

    Hmmm, A hum would suggest a electric noise that you would get from the radio. Do you have a aftermarket radio or amp installed? I'm no audio installer but could be feed back from the alternator through the speakers if it's a hum. Do you still hear the noise with the radio completely off?

    Exhaust Manifold Bolt Replacement

    Thanks! Unfortunatley this part numbers are for bolts UHL 25mm & 20mm. Dealer specs are M8 - 1.25 - UHL 30mm.

    Exhaust Manifold Bolt Replacement

    So, I've been struggling with this engine knock in my 09 Yukon Denali. I've decided to take it into the dealer. Service adviser almost with out hesitation thinks I have a collapsed lifter. So maybe in a week I'll know for sure. I also will have my exhaust manifold bolts replaced as I have a...

    Exhaust Manifold Bolt Replacement

    Yeah, didn't pay close attention and post to the wrong section, However still good info. Not sure the mystery oil will fix my lifters as I'm past the normal tapping sound. She is knocking pretty good. It may quiet them down some. I have an extended warranty so I hope for all new lifters...

    2007 Yukon Transmission Rebuild

    Sounds about right. Ex. A built 4L60E from a place like RPM transmissions would range from 2k-5k. (not including removal and install)

    Premium vs Regular = Spark Knock

    Wow, Does your owners manual recommend regular? I know mine 09' says 6.2L require 91 octane or higher. I do recall seeing a sticker inside my fuel door saying the same. See below Gasoline Octane For all vehicles except those with the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code 2), use regular unleaded...

    Transmission Help!

    I think I discovered my actual problem. My 09 Denali has been knocking on cold starts. First thought was piston slap or lifter tap. Neither seem right due to how long it takes for the knock to go away etc. Truck idles with no knock, only when accelerating. With the motor/trans cold I got...

    Cold Start Engine Knock Concern 09' 6.2L

    After a little more research or surfing the web for more info. I came across a potential solution. Seems the LS series motors are notorious for lifter tap. Based on what I've been reading piston slap and lifter tap are nothing alike but easily mistaken to be the same. I've been around GM...
