    6.2 or Diesel?

    Somebody asked about mph while towing with a 3.0 Duramax. Hauling an approximate 6,000 # boat, from far western NY to Lake George I averaged almost 18 mpg. Trip was 390 miles and some serious elevation changes . Most of it at 65/70 mph. Just an estimate but used no more then 2 gallons of DEF...

    Which Anti-Gel Additive for Cold Weather?

    Years ago I had a 1989 Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel. We had a particularly cold winter and I twice had the fuel gell. I would have to change the filter and purge everything. A real pain. I had used a commercial anti gel, after the first time but still had a problem. I talked to a friend who...

    Engine choice for new Yukon XL Denali (best reliability for next 3 years)

    Diesel all the way. Additional maintenance is minimal, Def is no big thing. I have a Burban with 24,000 miles with zero issues. I am 76 years old and have owned muscle cars, pick ups, sedans and high performance boats. This baby Duramax rates as one of the sweetest engines I have ever owned...

    Trailer brake missing on my 22 Tahoe

    I am guessing that it will be relatively easy to install an aftermarket brake controller. You will like how the Duramax tows. Padraig

    Trailer brake missing on my 22 Tahoe

    You didn't realize it until on the road??? OK, a couple of questions. 1 Do you have a brake controller on the dash? On a Suburban it is to the left of steering wheel. I would think the Tahoe would be the same. 2 What kind of brakes are on your travel trailer? Surge, electric, electric over...

    no heated Windshield on a $90k SUV?

    I live in Western NY...Never felt the need for a heated windshield and have driven Suburbans and Yukons since the 90s. And yes...they are expensive enough without adding useless things like heated windshields. Padraig

    Hard wire radar detector.

    Can't help with centerpiece adapter but it was very easy to run wire from fuse box to just past the center. The cover on the passenger side pillar comes off very easily. Run the wire up to the head liner and then just push the wire up and into the head liner. Easy peasy. That centerpiece...

    Software update that must be performed at a dealership

    I still don't understand why people pay for OnStar. It doesn't do much more then a cell phone and often doesn't work. Don't have it on my 2023 Burbank but think I will wait to have the update done. Padraig

    Fuel filter
