    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    Yeah Sorry. I was trying for Jan 2024. My bad. I was at the parts counter on Jan 8th 2024. Thanks for the reminder that accuracy counts.

    6.2L Engine Wait Times...

    For what it's worth. I was in line at the GMC Parts Counter today, Jan 24th, (Conley GMC Bradenton Florida) and the guy in front of me was asking "When is his replacement 6.2 engine going to come in?" Th parts guys replied: "I got two ahead of you. Best I can say is about 8 months".

    2022 AT4 Yukon XL New Tire Suggestions *32k miles*

    I live in Florida and have run Michelin Defender M+S on my last three Yukons. Quiet on the highway. NO snow but man will they evacuate water on a bad draining Florida highway in a downpour. Never had a flat or leak. Swear by them. (Put the blackwall out :) )

    2020 Yukon SLT - Standard Hitch for Short Hauls Okay?

    Based on your experience I should be safe. Thanks. It isn't highway with wind, mountains, or need to pass. I'll recheck the tongue weight and watch for sag or rubbing. Thanks again. Feel much better.

    2020 Yukon SLT - Standard Hitch for Short Hauls Okay?

    I go about 45mph on the two lane. Most of the weight is behind the 2nd trailer axle. (inboard V-8 with 140 gallons of fuel). Thanks for your thoughts, it is reassuring I don't have to get too exotic for that short of a distance.

    2020 Yukon SLT - Standard Hitch for Short Hauls Okay?

    Great input. Thanks. I think the tongue weight is 400-450. It is a V-8 inboard with gas tanks far aft so most of the weight is back there. I go about 45MPH from the barn on two lane. The Yukon is a stock SLT 5.3 (3:08 Rear) so nothing extra for cooling or leveling. I will be hooking it up soon...

    2020 Yukon SLT - Standard Hitch for Short Hauls Okay?

    Hi - Forum Members have been a great resource for me with my 96 Yukon, then my 2006 Denali, and now my 2020 Yukon SLT. Based on the help I got I was confident enough ditch the Lexus GX today and get back into a Yukon (and convince my wife!) - so many many thanks. I am done with highway and...

    Buying a 2020 Yukon with L83 5.3L EcoTec - Should I worry about AFM Lifter Failure

    Thanks for the advice. The rustproofing is a great idea. I will certainly do it as we run it up to Michigan once or twice a year. I forgot you could still do that to a used car. I wetn over the underbody and it is really clean - some of the stickers are still white. Thanks again.

    Buying a 2020 Yukon with L83 5.3L EcoTec - Should I worry about AFM Lifter Failure

    Thanks for the responses. I made the deal today 2020 Yukon SLT with 36K (Florida) miles. The Carfax showed that Hertz sold it at 21K - right about when Travel and Covid shutdown at April 2022. (I read they really downsized their fleet that time). It was a private local owner for the next 15K and...

    Buying a 2020 Yukon with L83 5.3L EcoTec - Should I worry about AFM Lifter Failure

    Thanks for all the input. I feel better about the AFM issue now. Maybe 2020 is a good sweet spot if I heed the advice on maintenance and driving style. Carfax shows is had regular oild changes about at 6K intervals. It also shows it was a Hertz vehicle I think ("Fleet" on window sticker and...

    Buying a 2020 Yukon with L83 5.3L EcoTec - Should I worry about AFM Lifter Failure

    Hi Everyone: Have a deposit on a used 2020 Yukon SLT and just discovered the AFM Lifter Issue online. I cannot figure out if the Service Builletins include the 2020 year or just 2021 L82. Lot's of stories about older Sierras and Silverados but can't narrow it down. Should I back out and look for...
