    2016 Yukon XL Transmission Failure

    Gotcha, thanks. It has the tow package so it has a cooler from the factory. Are you talking about an additional cooler? It gets real hot when going slow on trails, as in 4Lo driving. But I've also been on a paved road in 55 degree temps but with steep grades and it still got into the 250's.

    2016 Yukon XL Transmission Failure

    2016 Yukon XL, 5.3L, 4x4, 6 speed transmission, 120k miles and dealer “rebuilt” the transmission at 50k miles. Transmission started doing weird things like RPMs jumping all over the place, then stopped shifting, then made a noise kind of hard to describe, like loud whining. I haven’t had it...

    285/70r17

    Yes. I had a 2001 Tahoe with torsion bars turned up and the tires fit fine.

    Anyone here off-road their Yukon?

    It takes off a few inches and makes a big difference.

    Anyone here off-road their Yukon?

    115,000 miles and 34" tires and still good (knock on wood!!) But I don't get on the throttle in tight spots or when I'm getting stuck. That would be a quick way to break something.

    Anyone here off-road their Yukon?

    Thank you. 18x9 Fuel Coverts, I believe they are +1mm offset, 285/70R18 (34x11.5) Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and either 1.5" or 2" strut spacer in the front, I can't remember. Had to trim the inner fender liner in the front a bit and the front air dam. I've gone a lot of places most people would...

    Anyone here off-road their Yukon?

    When I last did it, there was a Jeep behind me and when we got to the top, he walked over and said "Your juevos must be so big, I can't believe they fit in your rig! Coming up here in a Suburban!"

    Anyone here off-road their Yukon?

    Lots of amazing places you can explore on graded dirt roads or even not-so-graded roads in 2WD. Good tires and airing down make a big difference. If it gets really rocky or off-camber, you'll want/need 4LO.

    3.0 vs 6.2

    :D Not the number one criterion but a big consideration. 16 MPG with the 6.2? Sounds incredible! Double what the truck gets... lol

    3.0 vs 6.2

    Maybe the question I should’ve asked is how does the 3.0 compare to the 5.3. She’s had the 5.3 and 6.2 and didn’t care for the 5.3, likes the peppiness of the 6.2. Currently in a TRX which has plenty of get up and go which she enjoys. While neither the 3.0 or 6.2 will match the TRX, she doesn’t...

    3.0 vs 6.2

    Sounds like the 3.0 is the winner... now only if I can convince my wife.

    What deals are you getting

    When did you deal with Chris? I called the number on the card but no answer. I just looked at their website but don't see him listed.

    3.0 vs 6.2

    I'm sure this is the one millionth thread covering this, but here I go... looking for some personal experience feedback. I've had the 6.2L and enjoyed it other than abysmal fuel economy. Considering the 3.0 vs the 6.2 in a new Yukon. Heavy majority of trips will be short and around town. I...

    2017 Air Dam trim or removal?

    Trimming makes a big difference and isn’t too hard. Use painters tape to create your line.

    Acoustic laminated glass

    For what it's worth, my 2016 Yukon SLT and 2020 Denali both had laminated glass on front and back door windows. That would be surprising if GMC reversed course.

    Most miles with stock AFM system?

    Curious why you don't want to use the Range?

    6inch lift with 33's

    The one caveat to what I said earlier is that more ground clearance would be nice, but I still wouldn't want much more if any lift height if you're going to be doing any off-camber driving.

    6inch lift with 33's

    If you're really looking to overland, depending on where you plan on going, I wouldn't want a lift based on my experience in my Yukon XL. It's already uncomfortably tippy on some Colorado trails. Keep your COG as low as possible. I'm running 34x11.50 on 18x9 wheels with 20mm offset with 2"...

    Back-Up Camera Relocation?

    I mounted a swing-out tire carrier on my Yukon which now blocks the view of the back-up / reverse camera. Has anyone relocated theirs to the top of the liftgate?

    Severe problems after trans fluid change

    As a side note, my transmission was replaced at 50K. @2001 TX Tahoe Please start your thread in instead of piggy backing on another thread cause the bulk of members here will not see it. Adding your year and model will also help.

    Severe problems after trans fluid change

    I had my 2016 Yukon transmission serviced for the first time at 98K miles. Drain, fill, new filter, and deleted thermostat. On they way home from the shop it started running very rough, felt like it was misfiring. Did this about 3 times. Threw a PO171 code. Back to the shop, the code was...
