    Bought 2024 Yukon SLT - coming from my 2017 Tahoe LT - WOW the difference

    The Yukon feels like a rolling bank vault, and with the luxury package in the SLT, is worlds apart from the 2017 Tahoe. I seriously doubted making the purchase at first, as my Tahoe runs great and has been paid off for a long time - but well worth it. Found a one-owner, no accidents, 30k miles...

    HELP me choose the right Yukon - SLT or SLE?

    I'm going to buy a 2018 to 2020 Yukon in the next few weeks, but need advice on the SLT vs SLE trim levels. I currently have a Tahoe LT - and I think the SLT is pretty similar in options, but not sure about the SLE? I do not want a sunroof, don't want mag ride, do not need the 6.2 motor, and I...

    Valet dipshit put my 4x4 on - drove for a bit on dry pavement ok?

    The ******* valet engaged my 4x4 somehow, truck felt weird driving home , just around corners.

How bad is this for the...

    I have a 2017 with the 5.3L paired with the 6 speed trans, 4x4 (if that matters) Should the thermostat be replaced with something better than stock? Should I install a trans cooler? I'm in FL but do not tow currently, but it's hotter than hell this summer, and I started thinking about the...

    Noise when turning right? 2017 LT

    Popping noise when turning, it's intermittent - sounds like someone is tapping my muffler, not a clunk? Or something just slightly shifting around when I turn hard right, has to be on a roll, not from a dead stop. Any ideas?

    Slight roughness at idle -2017 5.3L

    Very slight roughness at idle, just noticeable. Running E85 but it was there on regular 87 octane as well, no ticks or noises, so I'm thinking O2 sensor or something fuel related. Once off idle - runs perfect, zero complaints. Any idea what might be the issue?

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Curious how we hold up against Toyota's reputation for quality and reliability? Saw a recent post from some0ne who said their Sequoia was marginally better. Wife likes the Sequoia, but I personally don't like the hybrid crap or the battery, extra things to break, etc. (I've owned Toyotas but...

    2017 Tahoe LT, 6 speed, never replaced this as far as I know - should I be concerned? I don't tow, and Florida is pretty flat, so not a whole lot of stress ln my trans.
