    Towing w/ Suburban RST 5.3

    I have owned several 5.3 variations over the years and never loved them. BUT when we rented a 2021 Suburban for 30 days my opinion changed. Not so much that the 5.3 is great, it just OK but the gearing in the 10 speed made the whole package pretty good. I was very surprised how much i liked it...

    So you want to pay 10K more plus an adjustment?? The warranty starts as soon as you buy it. If its in new condition, not weathered, hail damage or otherwise, whats the difference what driveway it sits in??

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/12/gm-releases-valve-lifter-service-update-for-v8-engines/ Its the design. And its the defective part. Thats why this issue exploded in 2021. GM has had lifter issues all along the way starting with the LS. motor. Hit or miss not a big issue. BUT...AFM and DOD...

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    Well your not looking then. There are hundreds of threads and posts since 2021 on the 5.3 and 6.2 gas motor having defective lifters which can lead to bent pushrods, and wiped out cams. The entire top of the motor has to come off just to do lifters and pushrods. If the cam is wiped the front has...

    Pirelli AS plus 3 vs Michelin Defenders LTX M/S

    The Bridgestones that come on this truck are absolutely terrible. My wifes Mercedes came with the Pirellis and we were unimpressed and tread wear was terrible. The Michelin Defenders are fantastic in all categories. We love them and have them on 2 trucks now. Our fouth set on three trucks. The...

    Wireless Charging under Constraint on '23 Yukons!

    GM has handled this worse than most manufactures. They chose to make more cars and piss off customers while increasing prices than to make less cars equipped as they should be at this price point. Then there is the topic or quality control, and big issues not resolved.

    Denali Duramax: Expectation vs. Reality

    I wish people were as maintenance conscious as alot of us but they are not. They just buy on price point. Especially used. But being a car nut always in and out of several cars, when I buy I look at maintenance when newer and along the way. Tells alot about how it was taken care of and used. We...

    Anyone driving the Duramax in New England? Determining whether it's worth it when prices are sky high.

    There is no downside to the LM2 3.0. Oil change is 75 bucks, rockauto oil and filter. Fuel filter once a year at 20 bucks. Sips DEF if not towing maybe 30 bucks a year. I get 24 MPG constantly without trying. Roadtrips with AC on 27 mpg. The upside is they are still dropping lifters and bending...

    2023 Wagoneer L build and price up

    Anyone experience in cars, buying, selling, or trading in knows or has learned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep have no value used and take a huge hit. Then the quality of the product is terrible long term. There is no comparision of these two vehicles. Gm has had quite a few issues since this new 2021...

    Air conditioning vent placement

    My experience with a 2021 Suburban was very good with NO sunroof. Vents were placed well to cool second row and rear area for dog, and cooled the cabin quick in a black truck. We are in Florida and sunroofs are a no go here due to greenhouse effect. My Sierra Denali ultimate package came with a...

    SOLVED - Anyone know of a Hard-Wired Trailer Brake solution for a 2023 Tahoe?

    I agree, hardwire only. Don't have a solution, but did you call Curt as they may have it coming out shortly. They are usually pretty quick to the market issues.

    2023 Tahoe RST Performance Option

    Just saw a youtube review on this and its a little more than just the minuscule engine performance. It mostly suspension. The pulled most everything from the Police version. Brakes too. seems desirable, but not over 8K. Everything is from their parts bin.

    leaving vehicle with doors locked and engine running

    Yeah, but not on a 2021 unless you buy the program to disable the time out. The hold the start button only gets you 30 more minutes. So your dog will be dead in the summer if you left him for an extended time thinking you get a tank of gas amount of time....you don't. It has to be disabled at...

    leaving vehicle with doors locked and engine running

    Let us know if the 2023 times out after 60 minutes like previous years. havent done it in a while in my '21 but I think it extends you from 30 minutes to 60 minutes then shuts down. I wouldnt want anything to happen to your dog, thinking it will run till out of gas. For that there is the above...

    leaving vehicle with doors locked and engine running

    Unless something changed on the 2023...it will time out, just a bit longer if you do this procedure. I have done this on the '21 and it gets extended but will shutoff. I have seen the TSB for the programming if you choose and its at the customers expense and liability. It defeats the shutoff...

    leaving vehicle with doors locked and engine running

    Doing this just extends the time -it will still shutdown. It will NOT stay running. GM acknowledged some people need to keep it running and you can buy the program and have installed at the dealer that will disable it altogether. I cant remember its either 30 or 60 minutes then it will shutoff...

    New Denali Ultimate Owners - How do you like your massaging seats??

    My 2003 Yukon Xl had the best seats ever. It went downhill ever since. My 2008 Sierra seats were fine, but since the newer style better looking seats came out in 2014-2015 depending on model....the seats suck.

    Need advice on my potential Yukon purchase situation

    Used car prices are dropping rapidly. Repo guys cant keep up with the banks requests. Market is changing rapidly. Can't see anyway a dealer could lock in a trade value unless it was 5k low to begin with. I am is the same boat as the OP and the best you can do is order the truck, cross your...

    Denali Duramax: Expectation vs. Reality

    I concur. I am almost the exact same story. 2-3 weeks I may only drive 2 miles each way to my garage, one highway trip if lucky. Then just tow 1600 miles round trip to Va. But not one issue and I think I am at 16 months ownership and 13K ? I read somewhere it was designed this way also, for...

    New Denali Ultimate Owners - How do you like your massaging seats??

    The non massaging standard seats have lots of complaints, and are mediocre at best. Not many massaging seats out in the wild. I too am hoping for a better seat from GM, as many are. The last 2 generations of seats have been terrible. Great truck in 100 ways, but seats are lacking. I have...

    URGENT: New 2022 Yukon XL Denali Engine Failure

    Sound like the lifter or pushrod, which could lead to the cam. I guess this issue is not resolved being such a recent build. Sorry to hear. takes all the joy out of a new purchase. keep us updated, good luck.
