    What's latest shipping timeline?

    My Yukon arrived at my dealer in SW Wisconsin around one month after it was produced. Total time for placing order to taking delivery was two months and one day. It all seems wildly unpredictable and inconsistent, but my dealer had open allocations, which apparently moved it rapidly into...

    Old Suburban Guy Hoping to Become a New Yukon Guy

    If you’re on the forum often you know that my Yukon showed up two months and one day from the date I placed the order. I’ve attached a couple of gratuitous photos of it, more or less clean (our wisconsin place is in the sticks, so it’s hard to keep it clean for more than a few minutes). I am...

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    With a little over 2,000 miles on my Yukon I’m finding that I really like Supercruise. We have two homes, a townhouse in the Chicago ‘burbs and a cabin in SW Wisconsin, and drive between the two frequently. On shorter drives it’s more of a novelty, but now that I’ve made the three-hour plus trip...

    What's latest shipping timeline?

    Almost exactly a month from completion to delivery in SW Wisconsin. It sat in a Chicago rail yard for about a week.

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    Yes, thanks for the reminder. Also, I don’t know how much flexibility the forum software here permits, but I’ve been moderating a BMW motorcycle website (BMWSportTouring.com) for several years, and our software (Invision Community) allows admins to edit the glossary of prohibited words. Some of...

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    By the way, that was not an obscenity in my earlier post. It was the brand name of the manufacturer. The forum software cannot distinguish between this and a reference to, well, other activities.

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    UPDATE: MYSTERY (POSSIBLY) SOLVED: I had earlier checked the Yukon to see if any of the doors were ajar, but didn’t look inside. A few minutes ago I opened the driver’s door and found my ****** radar detector/camera dangling. My current hypothesis is that the Yukon detected the interior...

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    Have you heard of this? When I got up this morning I saw that I had received a theft alarm notification at 1:58. The Yukon is fine, undisturbed since earlier in the evening, and the keys were sitting untouched in separate locations in the house. The vehicle is fine…still in the pole barn about...

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    I’ll probably try the ceramic route, guys. A friend of mine who‘s into detailing recommended this, too.

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    Well, that would take all the sport out of it. Actually, the first 100 miles or so of my trip yesterday was on congested expressways into and out of O’Hare IAP so there was a constant mist of muck, snow and sleet. Pretty much unavoidable, even when you’re not tailgating (and I actually don’t)...

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    This photo is post-ice removal, but you get an idea of the conditions I was driving in yesterday. Snow, mist being kicked up by other vehicles, and temperatures in the range of 29-31ºF. In a drive of about 250 miles I had to stop three times to remove ice buildup on the headlights. I’ll be...

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    MSRP, minus the military appreciation offer of $500.

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    I realize that now. I’m in a rural area and I understand that they sell a bunch of Yukons, which may explain the availability of an allocation. Still, I was skeptical, given what other dealers had told me.

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    Jeez. I was told by other dealers that it might take 9-12 months. The dealer I went through (Runde in Platteville, WI) had build allocations for the Denali and the interior color combo I wanted, and told me it would be 1-2 months before it was built. They were pretty much right on target—it as...

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    It has the Reserve package, which forces the inclusion of adaptive cruise and the rear seat video system. It’s nearly as loaded up as the Ultimate, with the exception of headrest speakers and massaging seats (and the cosmetics that are associated with the Ultimate, of course).

    Switched Power on Driver’s Side of Dashboard

    I’ve got a few bits and pieces to install on my new Yukon Denali, including an auto start/stop eliminator and an ****** radar DirectWire harness. Since I’ve got to do some minor disassembly to get access to the start/stop button it would be great if I could locate a switched power source to tap...

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    Two months and one day from the date I placed my order. I’m very pleased, having put all of about 50 miles on it. It’s pretty well equipped, and compared to the Wrangler I traded for it is infinitely quieter, smoother, and more comfy. Super Cruise works very well, though it’s a little spooky...

    What Should I do? (2004 Suburban with 200K miles)

    Seems like the vote is swinging “keep it” pretty strongly. That’s sort of the way I’m leaning. It’s nice to have a reliable vehicle we don’t mind beating on a bit, and there have been occasions where it’s come in handy as a spare. B-Train, some good thoughts on corrosion. That may be the...

    What Should I do? (2004 Suburban with 200K miles)

    Big Red, our 2004 Suburban, has been in the family for about 6-7 years. Overall, he’s been quite reliable and has done an excellent job of serving as our Big Ass SUV. I’m expecting to take delivery of our new Yukon Denali 6.2 in just a few days (it’s in transit). I was planning to sell Big Red...

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    To clarify, I was not referring to Texas. In Tennessee (and perhaps elsewhere), the recent cold weather resulted in rolling blackouts. Here in the Midwest, we did not suffer the collapse during our past summer, but the MISO system (which covers several states) was reportedly at the cusp...

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    Not a fan of the idea. I’ve long been one to jump in the car (or on a motorcycle) and cover hundreds of miles per day. There is simply no way that we’re anywhere close to being ready for an all-electric private transportation model. On a trip last summer, I saw EV owners camped out on folding...

    Actually, that sounds about right. Except that they may not have advanced quite as far as you suggest.

    Suggestions for Auxiliary Light Mounts - 2023 Yukon Denali

    This is the Targeted Production Week for my ‘23 Yukon Denali. My garage is already loaded up with accessories, but the most important (to me) has not yet been ordered. Being in deer-infested Wisconsin I’d really like to mount auxiliary lights (Clearwater) on the vehicle, but I have not yet found...

    What’s the Significance of a Build Date?

    In the past few days I’ve learned…or was at least told by a rep at GM Chat…that dealers get updated production information a couple of days before the customer service folks do. Seems odd to me; I’d think any update would immediately populate to the entire system.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge, gents. It looks like it’s about to happen….
