    2018 Tahoe RST brakes pulsing at 36k.

    I had Wilwood brakes installed on my 2018 Denali at ~72000 miles. By 79000 miles I was getting bad pulsations when braking. Worse at highway speeds but still very detectable at lower speeds. I had the front rotors turned and trued up by my local mechanic which helped for a couple thousand miles...

    Another option…2011 Chevy Tahoe 85k miles - thoughts?

    I have owned a 2014 Denali since new. I added a Magnuson supercharger, long tube headers, Wilewood brakes and lowered the vehicle 2” in front and 4” in the rear at ~20000 miles. The vehicle has ~48000 miles now and is a great vehicle. These vehicles are known to have issues with the transmission...

    Brand new 2021 Denali shuddering

    I have two Denalis, a 2014 and a 2018. Both with the 6.2 liter engine. Both engines have a slight “lope” to the idle that seems to be normal for this engine. I have asked the question at two different dealers and both said it was normal. Interestingly the 2014 has had a super charger...

    New owner 2021 Yukon Denali

    On the Hot Spot data side you can add the vehicle as a device on your AT&T account. That may be cheaper than the plans GM offers. As for OnStar you pay for what you want.

    What is wrong with my 2021 Escalade? Horrible MPG

    I don’t know how the 2021 models are different, but our 2018 Yukon Denali will get 13-16 in town and highway driving is in the 21-25 mpg. On cruise control it gets the 24-25 mpg at 70-75 miles an hour. It has the 6.2 liter engine. We do better in 2wd, but only lose a couple mpg in and.

    2021 Tahoe RST Abismal mileage

    We own two Yukon Denali’s. A 2014 and a 2018, both with the 6.2 liter engines. The 2014 gets 12-13 mpg in town and the 2018 gets 14-16 in town. I have a pretty heavy foot, so I think others could do better.

    How about some gas mileage reports?

    We have two Denali’s with the 6.2 liter. The 2014, with the 6 speed transmission gets 15-16 mpg on the highway and 12-13 around town. The 2018, with the 10 speed transmission gets 21 to 24 on the highway at 75. In town it gets 13-25 generally. The 2018 is the best highway/trip vehicle I have...

    Brand New 2018 Yukon <300 Miles Dead Battery

    I have a 2018 Yukon Denali, that I bought in December of 2017 also. It has been a very reliable vehicle that I have thoroughly enjoyed. About a month ago, after a ~1150 mile trip I parked it in my garage. A couple days later it was stone cold dead. It showed a dead short and I could not jump...

    Anyone have rodent issues with their Tahoe?

    Just another piece of information. We had total a Toyota Highlander Hybrid due to mice infestation. They climbed up into the hybrid battery compartment and built a nest. Eventually the vehicle would not start. So towed it to a dealership. They called us and said get your insurance involved. They...

    Is this vehicle TOO big?

    We have a 2014 Denali and a 2018 Denali. We love them both. The newer vehicle is just a joy to drive on the highway, great ride and quiet. It also is easy to park with the radar assist system that works all around the vehicle. Both are the short wheelbase models and both drive like smaller...

    Looking to purchase 21 Tahoe

    We bought a new 2018 Denali on a good sale in December 2017. It has the 10 speed transmission and is simply amazing. Regular driving at highway speeds, 65 to 75 mph, yield 23 to 26 mpg on a regular basis. Obviously the tranny keeps engine speed low, but the shutters in front of the radiator help...

    16" Wilwood Big Brake Kit - Will it fit stock 22" Escalade wheels?

    I have a set of 14” wilwoods on front and rear of our 2014 Denali. They have about 8000 miles on them and look untouched. The stopping power is awesome! Hope they last, like you say.

    We have a 2018 Denali with the exact same engine/transmission that is getting 13-16 mpg in city driving and usually 21-25 mpg on the highway. City driving is suburban type driving. Highway is 65-75 mph. We are very happy with the performance of the vehicle and the great mileage. (We had 2014...

    Wilwood Reviews

    I put the 14.25” Wilwoods on my ‘14 Denali and love them. Amazing stopping power and minimal brake dust. Had to go with the 14.25”, as the 16” Front’s would not fit inside my factory 20” wheels. (And I was not ready to upgrade to the 22” wheels at the time.)

    Pulled the trigger 2018 RST Tahoe

    If it is anything like the 2018 Denali, which I bought in November 2017, it is very fast and efficient. The 6.2 liter is an amazing engine with power to spare and the 10 speed transmission always finds the right gear. I am very happy with the Denali. You got the better suspension and brakes to...
