    5.3 oil consumption

    I am looking at having to add a quart of oil about every 1,400 miles or so. While the Yukon rides and drivers great, I have never had a vehicle drink so much oil. I have not kept a real close record, but I am going to start. We took a 3k mile trip, started with a fresh oil change, and added a...

    Dead battery

    So far my wife feels that after a decade of minivans, the 07 Yukon XL is like taking a vacation every time she drives it. Thats the good part. The down side is 8 times in the last few months we have had a dead battery after it sits overnight. One time we traced it to the DVD system being...

    Turning over, not starting

    Went to start the 07 and all that happened is the starter engaged, turned over the engine like normal, but no start. What was odd is the lock cylinder felt strange, like it was sticking in the start position. It seems to be OK now, but something aint quite right. Battery and charging system...

    Expeditions Denalis and lacerations

    Ford to Yukon XL

    After getting shafted by buying a 6.0 Super Duty, and putting up with a piece of crap Windstar, it is time to look at a leap to a Yukon XL. Trying to get something with less than 30K on it. Is there a year to avoid? An engine or transmission combo that is bad news? I have had over 25 cars...

    Denali vs Yukon

    As I move closer to stepping into my first GMC/Chev, the Denalis caught my eye. As they seem to have a fair amount more "stuff" than other models, does that tend to bring in more problems? A friend of mine has had several Expeditions, and I learned you stay away from ANY air suspension with...

    New here, and new to GM

    New to this site, and new to anything GM. Having a Ford dealer in the family until a few years ago, and being into early and Fox body Mustangs, that is all I knew. With a family, we are looking at the Yukon or Yukon XL, and to be honest, with GM in trouble, I hate to see an American icon fall...
