    2020 Yukon SLT - Maintenance Interval Question

    That's the correct priority. And I hope you're not paying a dealer to replace the cabin and engine air filters. Those are simple DIY tasks with a couple basic tools and 15 minutes.

    All Weather Tire Recommendations.

    I have the Michelin Cross Climate 2 in Load E on my 3500HD. After 6K miles I have zero complaints on dry/wet/snow. Not great on ice but that seems inline with any 4 season tire (#physics). I haven’t used the others mentioned but will say All Weather is the way to go over All Season for those...

    Do you ever sit in your vehicle to let the song finish?

    Not exactly music, but NPR has coined this “a driveway moment” when one stays in the car to finish a program segment.

    Bought a Tahoe, dealer has not sent title paperwork in yet

    That’s frustrating. I think your best bet is to be a polite pester. Call every afternoon and ask for the status. If they seem confused about something, call your DMV and ask about their point of confusion. Inform them what you learned. Keep notes of your calls (a timeline). After it is...

    Head light noise in 2015 Yukon Denali

    I think you’re hearing the fuel pump priming. It will do it as well if it has been sitting unlocked when you open a door.

    2020 Yukon SLT - Standard Hitch for Short Hauls Okay?

    I think we need more detail to give you the best advice. Such as: What is the tongue weight (wet & loaded)? How much weight is in the vehicle? What speeds/how aggressively are you driving these two miles? I’m surprised you are seeing a max tongue weight on the “hitch” (the thing attached to...

    Potentially nothing as it was a stand-alone option or part of a package.

    2019 Suburban purchase, before buying what do I need to be aware of ?

    I think I’ve read that the AC issues were worked out before 2019 (?). Common issues I see often on this forum are: Lifter failures attributed to the cylinder deactivation (AFM) feature Dirty cylinders attributed to direct injection Torque converter failures and sometimes a subsequent...

    Slight roughness at idle -2017 5.3L

    A slightly rough idle is “normal.” Some folks using a tune raise the idle rpm to make it go away.

    The Art of Towing

    So many things… but keep your speed lower than you think you should and never be in a hurry.

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Agree. Their “slow to update” philosophy is absolutely the reason. With the exception of my 2002 corolla (fantastic car) I quickly grew to hate every Toyota I’ve owned. Things like weird shifting patterns, uncomfortable seats, rattles in a brand new Land Cruiser, tires that won’t balance...

    Battery low issue

    My NOCO 5 amp has a repair feature that claims it can revive/desulfate a bad battery. Might be worth a shot. Regardless, any battery that gets short-tripped constantly and/or sits needs to be charged periodically. I rotate the charger on all the batteries once a month. They all typically...

    Need more info on Campaign N212338770

    I found this, but it says silverado/sierra: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169319-9999.pdf I did not know anything about this, but coincidentally recently took my 2019 5.3 in for service and complained about occasional rough downshifting when coming to a stop. When I picked it up...

    Which to buy?

    6.2 is not available on LT. Premiere has magnetic ride and larger wheels. Obviously the LT can have larger wheels but not by default. Z71 or Max Trailer gets you the 3.42 and 4Low with the 5.3. They also both change the suspension over an LT without those packages. The Bose system in the...
