    To good to be true? / Advice

    Check your car shield warranty for the cost / deductible of not taking the truck to the selling dealer. You may need to add a zero deductible option. Does it cover the MagRide as well as the air struts in back? Almost all GM parts have a lifetime warranty now so getting them replaced on...

    This truck is incredible

    Sheer mass, height above the road and crumple zone is going to protect you like a herd of elephants surrounding the little ones. I’ll bet you never thought your day would end up like that. Really, really glad you’re ok. The last encounter we had in our Esky with airborne construction materials...

    Fuel Back Flow/Where Would You Start?

    OMG! You just blew 6 hours diagnostic time and $9h the dealership could of charged you. Fail! Really though, you just hit the jackpot in heading off one of the biggest headaches in the 07-14 trucks. You can now order the OEM a/c Delco lifetime replacement fuel pump, carbon canister and fuel...

    Supercharging

    Ah, the ol 2015i play where GM kept the 6SP in 1/2 the year of the 2015 Esky’s.

    Engine knock and don’t know what it could be

    The 6.0 was just another temp option with less work vs the 5.3. More hp/tq and poss flex with Reg gas. If you can save the mighty L9H, do it. Price aftermarket heads vs having the OEM serviced. The significant flow will free up hp with little to no effort with a mild cam. Just enough to enjoy...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    That’s the ironic part is there’s made in China by GM authorized that’s OK, and there’s made in China defective parts that go to their dumpster. The security guard arranged to sell the dumpster defects parts to Joe’s clearance store and BAM! You’re screwed.

    Fuel Back Flow/Where Would You Start?

    2011 Tahoe LT. You’re on the right track for what to look at when you don’t have a scanner. The good news is replacing those related vacuum / emissions items are due because of the age of the truck so you’re not really just throwing parts at it. A parts house or garage will also have a tester...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    I think one of these will give you peace of mind …

    Engine knock and don’t know what it could be

    Meh, I’m not really sure your issue is with the top end. I think that’s the DOD / displacement on demand option some 6.2 had :rofl: Someone else just lost the L9H in their newly acquired 09 Denali. They went through the motions to resurrect it for the next 250k in a thread. If you have a...

    Accessory Drive Belt Maintenance?

    It was a cheap (not USA) idler pulley made by a (not USA) company that allowed the accessory belt to come off at 50+ down hill, off a highway, to a intersection I couldn’t turn into or stop at. My 3T YXL Denali had 5 teens inside and we could of all been killed because of a cheap $7 idler...

    Clockspring replaced, now no steering controls

    This is just bat ship crazy. If you need any other parts from them maybe they’ll ship em for free

    Sputtering, very rough idle and wants to shut off

    Welcome from SoCal. I’m guessing you’re up North. I see you’re just getting it broke in. Three things come to mind… Rotting battery cables from inside out. Regardless of the exterior appearance, change them if you never have. This … And lastly that dreaded carbon canister under the truck...

    Engine knock and don’t know what it could be

    Hey, Welcome. I think you’d be impressed if I said the spark plug wire directly in front on the left hand side is bad and to replace it, but I can’t, so we’ve gotta ask a few questions. * Has anyone else already looked into this for you? * How long has it been going on? * Had any work done in...

    Upgraded from a 2008 Denali to a 2009 Eski

    Thanks for the heads up. I did see the OEM gently smoked / clear ones were still in stock. The only issue was that somehow, someway, someone (GM?) had found a way to lean on the guy the made the full width led 3rd conversion kits. I needed a 12-14 Premium oem style 3rd brake lamp but there’s no...

    Upgraded from a 2008 Denali to a 2009 Eski

    Moving over from the center brake lamp on the roof to the full width version that spreads across the entire length of the reflector. This truck isn’t as prone to being hit as the black YXL Denali but the extra spray of LEDs on the heads up should be an even better stopping deterrent. Got a...
