    Best outdoor vehicle cover

    Agree, I have only purchased California Car Covers as IMO they are the best on the market. Can be a little pricey but well worth it. I had one for years to protect my Custom 55 Chevy

    Gas spilling out of tank to EVAP charcoal canister line.

    It sounds like the FLVV (Fluid Limit Vent Valve) may be bad, this is located inside the fuel tank and is snapped into the fuel Module.

    GMC Yukon ultimate USA vs Canada

    My reference was to the USA and Canada vehicles, yes there are different RPO's for overseas markets like UAE, Saudi, etc,

    GMC Yukon ultimate USA vs Canada

    Yes back in that time frame we were still using Janesville assembly plant until it closed around 2008, then all large SUV production moved into Arlington,

    GMC Yukon ultimate USA vs Canada

    As someone who worked got GM Truck for 30 years there is not any difference in the frame coatings. All these frames are the same and come in by rail car to the start of the assembly line. If something indeed was different it would have to have an RPO in the build sheet

    GMC Yukon ultimate USA vs Canada

    All GM Large SUV's are built in Arlington TX as of right now, that includes the Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade. The only difference may be that the default settings are Metric as in speedometer and mileage. What features are you having a hard time with?

    What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

    Here in MI it is illegal for the front driver and pass windows to be tinted. pretty rare for getting pulled over for tint though. I have heard that you can get a waiver from an optometrist for sun sensitivity, can't confirm that though. I remember when I traded in my 2016 Tahoe with tint on...

    At Least 36 L87 / 6.2L Engines Failed After Recall Inspection

    As I have mentioned before in previous threads is the best outcome for anyone with an affected engine should hope to fail the PICO test and receive a new engine, changing oil viscosity for a badly machined crank shaft didn't pass muster.

    Put black 24’s on but now want to black it out?

    I have had pretty good luck with Plasti Dip, did a lot of my emblems on a 16 Tahoe I had and it cam out pretty good,

    Lost the 6.2 (was: May have Lost the 6.2)

    Thanks for the update, yes it is hard chasing down GM part numbers for sure. When we would direct part number changes at GM it was due to "Fit, Form, or Function" and also to "Breakpoint" parts for tracking system. A quick search on the bearing part numbers you provided list #5504 as a...

    Fueling issue

    There is not a ROV in the fuel filler pipe, what you are probably feeling is the flame arrestor in the filler pipe due to E85 and potential for flash back. If you still can't fill after replacing the cannister there is probably lines that are blocked allowing the tank to vent

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    6.2 engine problems

    Here is another good video that explains in detail the additional vehicles that may be added to the recall and the engineering analysis , some have speculated that the 2025's are included. I have not seen anything official as of yet for 2025's

    6.2 engine problems

    So you have a 6.2L in your 2026, and I have one in my 2025, the OP was asking about the recalled engines which is 2024 for most models. Not sure where you get your rumors but as of right now there is not any recall on 25 or 26 L87's. Also buying an extended warranty does nothing for a recalled...

    Lost the 6.2 (was: May have Lost the 6.2)

    Ya for sure, I wonder what the cost difference at your dealer would be. I would think that the service tech that writes up the oil change order may catch it at some time or another. I don't think GM has a bulletin out for case like yours to remove the 0W-40 cap and replace with a 0W-20 cap and...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    As I have posted before, yes you are correct and teams of GM people (Engineers,Quality etc.) were sent to Mexico to get this fixed as quick as they could. As far as I know there were not any part number changes, they just break pointed the problem cranks.

    6.2 engine problems

    The 2024 MY is the cutoff for the 6.2L L87 engine for right now,

    Lost the 6.2 (was: May have Lost the 6.2)

    Glad you have your vehicle back now and with a brand new engine, this is the best outcome you could ask for. I would stick with the GM recommended 0w-20 oil as to not void any warranty.

    Option packages

    There has to be more options than just powered running boards for 10K, post up both stickers side by side for a comparison. Now I will say this, I really like the powered boards, not just for entry and egress but I think the vehicle looks much better with them tucked away and not the fixed boards.

    Lost the 6.2 (was: May have Lost the 6.2)

    From what I have heard they are still machining the cranks in Mexico but have sent multiple teams down there to oversee the process and quality control. Yes I have confidence in this now and that is why I purchased a 2025, IMO as well as the people I have spoken with you have the best outcome...

    Lost the 6.2 (was: May have Lost the 6.2)

    As I have posted about this issue in the other long L87 thread and recently retired from GM but still have many contacts in engineering. The issue was sending the crank shafts to Mexico for machining of the crank shafts and quality teams from the U.S. not being allowed to travel and oversee this...

    Question? Do I need spacers for 24" Wheels

    If you can get the correct backspacing with the width of the tire taken into account you should not need spacers. Pretty easy to figure out when you have the specs of the tire and wheel.

    Best VIN check site? Carfax worth it (or alternatives)?

    You could also go to a GM dealer and ask them to run the VIN for a history report, this can provide all the RPO options the vehicle has and a lot of other information
