Traded in my wife's '14 Acadia for a '17 Yukon. Here to learn from the 'been there, done that' folks. Glad to get rid of the Lambda as it's given me trouble almost from the day i bought it.

It's a loaded 6spd. The digital cluster, normally found in the Denali, sold me on it. The build sheet shows it was a factory option, UHS, order guide shows only available for Denali. Was this aftermarket or factory option?

Welcome Scott! Don't know the answer to your question but others will be along. Nice looking truck, what color inside? What kind of problems with the Acadia? I have two relatives considering them over a Yukon.

The cluster looks like the brain child of the peeps at Coastal Flash.

That’s cool you got someone else’s upgrade that was done tastefully and correct to leave you wondering if it was a factory option. You got an enthusiasts truck. I wonder what other surprises are still undisclosed.

Thanks all!

Cocoa/Dune interior.

With the Acadia, at about 30k miles started having transmission problems. Under warranty put 2 torque converters in before finally replacing the transmission. Was never really the same after that. Not sure about the latest models, but I'd advise researching known issues with the lambda platform before purchasing (as we all probably do with any vehicle on here).

Welcome to the forum from Oregon. Very nice looking rig. More pics, inside and out, please. Plus.........


We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.
