    Denali cupholder to SLT cupholder (center console)

    I recently had my Denali in the shop and had an SLT as a loaner. I like the cupholder setup in the SLT much better. The Denali has fold over lids that waste a bunch of storage space whereas the SLT has a large opening with cupholder inserts (and others, I'd guess). Does anyone now how easy it...

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    I just picked it up from the dealer. I don't have GM involved yet, but if it happens again it will pass the "4 times test" from the TX lemon laws. I will need to send a certified letter to GM at that point. As for the loaner, they gave me a Yukon SLT with all the bling.

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    New info: just got a message from the dealer. The battery is failing some tests. I specifically asked them to change the battery last time because I was certain it was getting worn out faster. The dealer wouldn't budge. What a waste of my time. I also do not believe that they are really...

    BTW, the Denali has 16791 miles for anyone keeping score.

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    Small update. We didn't have time last night to jack with the vehicle so I put it off until today. I went out there to see what was up with it now and it is even more dead. I can't get the remote opener to even unlock it and it won't even click when I turn the key. >$50k of metal, plastic...

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    Well, I was hopeful, but today it is dead again. My wife moved it out of the driveway in the morning around 9am and tried to start it again at 6pm but no go. It isn't just a little bit low either; it won't turn over even once and even the horn from the second lock press is weak. Something is...

    2011 Yukon XL SLT baterry dies

    I had my negative battery cable replaced because of excessive voltage drop during cranking. The dealer can test for it.

    Active fuel management mods?

    I have a 2011 Denali XL and never notice when it switches between 4 and 8. I'd take it back to the dealer.

    What is the best extended warranty...

    Mercury is a good aftermarket one. Just make sure to get the Platinum level. It is usually cheapest to buy when the vehicle is brand new.

    Dealer "flashed" my Nav, now I've lost functions

    I think you just have to redo the presets. It happens when the battery is removed too. Just select your station, and then hold it down for a bit. It should beep and the name will reappear.

    Already done with it?

    Must be unreliable with 2 owners and only 4k miles. And the grill is ugly.

    Previous Rental Fleet voids warranty?

    In my experience, they need a reason to look at something. Some dealers know of common problems and can help you articulate what you might be experiencing in other areas to help them justify checking them out.

    2008 Denali has noisy steering wheel

    My 2011 has it too. I have heard this on old cars, but never on one so new. Who has time to return to the dealer for this stuff?

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    I got another call just to update me--I do like the fact that this dealer calls people twice each day for a status update. They replaced the negative battery cable because the voltage drop was too high during cranking. They also tested the positive side, but it passed. I hope this is all that...

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    Update: service advisor just called and told me that the problem is with the negative battery cable. Here's the rub: he tells me that there is a short in the battery cable! My degree is in electrical engineering, so I just chuckled. He obviously has no idea what he is talking about. If the...

    Any aftermarket recommendations that will keep all the functionality?

    2012 radio software in a 2011 Denali?

    Might have to consider aftermarket. Anyone have luck with aftermarket and keeping the dual rear-seat monitors? I'd want dual-zone so I can listen to XM up front and kids can watch DVD in back.

    2012 radio software in a 2011 Denali?

    I have a 2011, which I took in for service (see my other thread). For a loaner, I got a 2012 Denali, which has the newer radio software. It looks pretty nice; I'm wondering if my 2011 can be upgraded via software to the 2012 version.

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    One related question... when I jumped it, I first tried my standalone battery unit and I could only get a click. The same thing happened when I jumped from my Toyota Sequoia. It finally jumped when I connected the GND to the alternator GND (labled as such). I was nervous about jumping to that...

    2011, <11k miles, dead in driveway

    Ugh. We just got back from a 1 week long vacation. We moved our Denali into the driveway as we pulled out last Saturday. Now, Sunday afternoon, we try to move it out of the driveway to unload. It is dead again. I was able to jump it, but only with another vehicle--my standalone jumper...

    best website to view aftermarket wheels?

    What is the best site? I found one a while ago that let you see the vehicle at an angle too, but I cannot find it again.

    How to submit a GM service complaint

    IMO, the complaint should be filed against the dealership that did the shoddy work.
