    New 2024 Yukon - long term rust prevention and rubber conditioning

    My 2009 Tahoe died of rust here in New England. I'm just taking delivery of a new 2024 Yukon, and I'm wondering what on the under-body to paint/cover/grease/silicone to minimize repair headaches 10 - 15 years out. I'm thinking of painting bare metal, steel cooling lines, parts of the exhaust...

    Trouble removing front differential fill plug

    Thanks for the thread info, saved me a bunch of headaches! Mine was seized, but I was in no rush, so every day for 3 weeks I sprayed PB Blaster on the plug. Then I used a 6pt socket and a std 1/2 inch ratchet, hit the ratchet handle with my foot, and it loosened right up.
