    Gas smell 2022 Tahoe inside the cabin.

    Potential danger (fumes? ignite?) comes to mind. In any case, I would want a fix and wouldn't this kind of thing be under warranty for a 2022?

    2021 Yukon Denali - 250w pull is causing 120v outlet to shut-off

    My 2021 Yukon Denali has 2 x 120v outlets - that are marked as 400w. However, when I reach 250w-300w range they cut-out. Unplug and replug and they re-activate but again cut-out at 250w-300w range. Does anyone have detailed power ratings for these or how they work? Is the 400w split...

    Adaptive Cruise slams on brakes randomly

    Just did my 1st freeway driving with 2021 Yukon Denali Adaptive Cruise and going slower due to towing. As cars pass and merge in front of me it's causing the rig to slow from 65mph to 50-55mph immediately / unnecessarily in my opinion as the cars are going 75mph and accelerating ahead of me...

    Towing up Mountain Pass - 210F Engine and 199F Transmission

    An update - winter towing 5300lb trailer transmission temps.... Just did a 700mile trip thru Southern OR - Northern CA with several mountain passes. Ambient was around 55F. The transmission temp has a base of ~152F driving flat down I-5 at 65mph. Going up a few 10mile, 5-6% grade...

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    I recently purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali w/6.2 and 22" wheels but it's Magnetic ride only. Is there a straight-forward OEM kit to add air-ride/leveling or is this just too-late / kind of 'out there' since it wasn't added factory wise? Google doesn't show anything leading me to think...

    Engine oil life indicator--reliable?

    I have a 2004 Cadillac SRX V8 AWD and it called for synthetic oil from the beginning. It's 19yrs and 170,000miles and running smoothly. I've changed oil when it says to or no longer than a year. Over the 19yrs to date, I've probably changed the oil 25 times which would be 170,000 / 25 =...

    2021 Tahoe RST Factory LED tail light

    The passenger mirror cracked (inside) and was drooping / had to be replaced on my 2021 Yukon Denali. The auto-shop said it would be $1000 and 6 mon wait so I bought one on ebay for $350 which arrived in a week and the auto-shop installed it for $119. This turned out to be a good decision -...

    Towing 2023 Tahoe RST 6.2

    I just got a used 2021 Yukon Denali with 6.2L (but not max towing) and as part of the deal tested towing a 5300lb trailer up a 10mile 5% grade at 107F ambient last Aug. Transmission reached 200F which according to comments is significant but not that extreme for short duration, minimal...

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    Update: Yesterday, they say they got the CA replacement title from Hertz, then signed off by the bank, and is finally ready to go to DMV in the next batch. Apparently they submit to DMV in chunks every 2 weeks. DMV is estimated to be 2-4 weeks. This puts 4-6 week timeframe to see the...

    2022 Tahoe - Coolant Level

    We bought a brand new 98 Olds Ultra Supercharged V6 and thru all 22yrs we owned it, the 'Check Coolant Level' would come on at odd times and then go off and there was never anything actually wrong. At various times we requested dealer 'fix' but were told that to even approach a fix would...

    2021 USB ?

    As someone who just purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali, 1st new purchase in 12yrs, I can understand... What I've found is that my vehicle has ApplePlay app that connects to you're iphone thru USB or bluetooth. ApplePlay displays portions of you're phone on the center screen - and you can...

    Highway says 5% grade, 2021 Yukon Instruments say 2-3degrees

    You're right - the rig shows degrees. I have been mentally lazy all my life and just equated 5% grade with 5 degrees - but of course they're not the same :) Amended the title to say degrees instead of %

    Highway says 5% grade, 2021 Yukon Instruments say 2-3degrees

    Was watching a vid on grades and 5% grade means 5ft up over 100ft BUT.... that doesn't mean 5 degrees. Found this calculator - https://www.easy-calculators.com/percent-to-degrees.php - and 5% grade = 2.86 degrees So the rig is correct when it shows 2-3 degrees angle on 5% grade :)

    Highway says 5% grade, 2021 Yukon Instruments say 2-3degrees

    We recently purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali and one of the features is the 'level' of the vehicle. We live among the mountains - so anyplace we go to escape town requires going over a 5% or 6% grade as posted on the various highways out of town. However, I've noticed that the rig's 'level...

    Fabric wheel liners?

    Interesting - I just bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali and as we got back from a camping trip in the deep forest the wheel wells were coated with pine needles/dirt stuck to the felt. Tried to just hose it off but had to use a broom along with garden hose to get the needles to unstick...

    2022 Yukon wifi won’t work

    I had something related in Oct this year on a newly purchased used 2021 Yukon Denali. Activated OnStar with data plan but it wouldn't allow data even thought the wifi/hotspot was working. Called OnStar back from the rig and they redirected me to 'data specialist' who did a download, had me...

    21+ IRS SAG issues when towing product design (looking for someone in Michigan)

    In my case, the 650lb tongue w/WDH pulls my 2021 Yukon rear down 1 inch and front raises 1/2 inch. My model doesn't have air bags. This is perfectly stable towing and no complaints but I'm just wondering..... IF I add the 35% stronger rear springs and let's say the rear only goes down 1/2...

    Winch mounts on a 2021 Yukon

    I recently purchased a 2021 Yukon Denali and I want a front 2" receiver so I can use a winch mounted on a shank and also with a hitch to push my camp trailer into parking position. I see you can't buy one so it'll have to be custom. I know a guy that can weld and fabricate but if I could...

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    Update.... 1) The dealer contact has taken my calls 2 times now and provided status updates. 2) They mailed a 2nd 90-day temp certificate that went on the car today. They're waiting on a CA title replacement (for the lost-in-the-mail title) and the title should show up at the Oregon dealer...

    PRE-OWNED 2021 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SUV 24k mil with Valve cover gasket replaced @ 14k

    We just bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali with high mileage (49K) from Hertz with carfax + recall history showing all up to date. Before purchase we did the independent inspection, tried all the features, and in particular they let us test tow up the mountain at 107F ambient - overheating was a...

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    As OP, no problem for me. The design is fixed with existing things; however, based on my new/better understanding I'm planning to add 150lbs of battery mid-trailer + mount some 5gal Jerry cans (maybe 5gal on each side) mid-trailer = 70lbs?. Adding 220lbs mid-trailer will bring total trailer...

    What year do I want ?

    I just purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali and Love It but it seems that 2021 is the 1st year of the current generation - e.g. 2020 -> 2021 crosses an aftermarket parts line and other lines. For example - I need a front hitch but they're not available for 2021+ yet and I'll have to hire some...

    21+ IRS SAG issues when towing product design (looking for someone in Michigan)

    I have a 2021 Yukon Denali 6.2L but it doesn't have the air ride. My trailer's tongue weight is 650lb and with a Blue Ox Trac Pro weight distribution the rear sags 1" + front up 1/2" and towing is stable. Without WD the rear sagged 2+ inches and front was up 1+ inches and towing was not...

    Wobbly mirror.

    On my 2021 Yukon Denali, the passenger mirror internal metal framework cracked... and the mirror was wobbly about an 1" even though it still worked. No fix as internal metal structure was flat out cracked in half. Had to buy one on ebay and replace it - https://www.ebay.com/itm/195341994571...
