    Traded in '08 Yukon Denali... Thank you for all the great years!

    I wanted to say "thank you" to my Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade family for the past 7 years of discussions. Yesterday, the last day of 2021, we traded our '08 Yukon Denali with 193K in on a '16 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI crew cab. Loved our Denali, but it was a win-win on the deal. I will continue to monitor and...

    Radiator Hoses - Replace if Visually Fine?

    Thank you all for your responses! Are the hoses a pretty simple DIY job? Any special tools need for the connectors? I will consult my manual, YouTube, etc., but you all are always the best advisors. We tow a 5,500 lb. hybrid camper on the flats of Wisconsin, so I want to prep while in the...

    Radiator Hoses - Replace if Visually Fine?

    2008 Yukon Denali, 6.2 L, AWD, 191,000 miles. Vehicle has original radiator/coolant hoses, but no leaks and appear fine with no noticeable soft spots or cracking. Radiator professionally flushed at 5-year marks and conditioners used. Dex-Cool always used. I came across this article about not...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Hi all - Just reporting back to this thread for the archive. The AC problem finally revealed itself in the fullest as I was pulling our camper on a 4-hour trip in WI. The clutch locked up solid and the AC belt began its loud, smelly decomposition. Nothing like being on the road pulling a load...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Just reporting back to this thread on my progress. I ended up pulling the alternator and took it to O'Reilly's for a bench test. It passed the test, but was definitely on the weaker side, so with 182K on it, I decided to replace it. Installed the new one and took it for a nice 45-minute ride...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    Thanks for sharing this info. It has been pretty consistent with the symptoms. When starting the vehicle, the A/C comes on ice cold with the volt gauge showing the higher level (above 14). As soon as the gauge drops to the lower level, within a short time the air quits working. Ironically, I...

    Intermittent A/C issue related to voltmeter gage change?

    2008 Yukon Denali, 6.2L, 181K miles. Original A/C components and alternator. Newer battery. On hot days my A/C has intermittently quit working while driving. When it happens I always notice the volt gage displaying its lower level as seen in second pic. In first pic (above 14), the AC is...

    Tool to disable tpms all together

    I bought new sensors on Amazon, 4 for $40 (mine are aftermarket "Roadfar', but you can find AC Delco on Amazon as well). I also purchased a VXDAS Auto Tire Pressure Monitor for $10 which allows you to reset the sensors. I had Walmart install them for $20. My sensors were preprogrammed for my...

    TPMS Sensor Relearn -- 3 WERE working, Now all 4 are not...

    Thank you for your thoughts! I took the vehicle to Walmart this morning to have them replace the one sensor which I had ordered on Amazon. I actually purchased 4 new sensors, so I have the other 3 in hand. I only had them replace the one dead sensor because of a time crunch. I figured next time...

    TPMS Sensor Relearn -- 3 WERE working, Now all 4 are not...

    2008 Yukon Denali, 176K. I had one weak TPMS sensor, so error light was on and dash showed PSI for only 3 of the 4 tires. I had been planning to replace the sensor on the one tire. Took vehicle to body shop for a deer collision repair. They noticed the one sensor not working and attempted to...

    Won’t fill Very strong odor of gas

    I had a similar experience. It was related to my fuel pump and gas on top of the tank where it was no longer sealed (gasket I think). Tank was dropped and new fuel pump/assembly installed. When I needed to replace the vent valve assembly, there was no gas odor, just an Evap code and issues...

    What Year is Reliable

    I have a 6-speed fully-loaded '08 Denali. Bought it at 85k and it now has 185k. Speaking of that 2-year run transmission, it failed 30k miles ago and that was with careful maintenance. I had a remanufactured and updated GM transmission installed with 3-year warranty/unlimited miles. The truck...

    P0442 Code

    I'm late to the party, but wanted to chime in. I ended up replacing purge valve, gas cap and vent valve assembly, in that order. Each time it would throw a different code once I replaced the previous part, but the updated vent valve assembly ended up being the fix. Next in line was going to be...

    Ebay Airshocks... Good reviews, any experience with them?

    Might explain why the road is a little bumpy - haha. My wife got a little car sick the other day from a country road when riding with me. But dang, that heated steering wheel sure is still nice in its original form. Guess I better look at replacing those shocks!

    Ebay Airshocks... Good reviews, any experience with them?

    This is great info! Thanks for taking the time. I see a lot of Arnotts on eBay and I assumed by the listings that they are genuine. Guess I need to look more closely. I'll check Rock Auto. Guessing I'm overdue. My compressor is still working and the shocks are still holding air. Despite...

    Ebay Airshocks... Good reviews, any experience with them?

    Thanks for sharing this. Guessing I'll stay the course for the Arnott shocks. How many miles on your vehicle before you replaced them the first time? Did you wait until they leaked, or did you replace them for a better ride prior to them leaking? Just wondering if it's worth replacing before...

    Ebay Airshocks... Good reviews, any experience with them?

    My 08 Yukon Denali just turned 163K and still has original rear shocks. Amazingly, compressor still works and shocks aren't leaking, but my ride could be more comfortable on bumpy roads. With recent transmission and front diff replacement, I don't have the funds (or justification) to replace...

    Arnott or ebay for the rear air shocks? Any experience?

    I know this is an old thread, but wondering how these shocks are holding up. I have 163K on my 08 Denali and original rear shocks. Mine aren't leaking yet, compressor still works, but I'm wondering if the ride would be great improved by changing them soon. Did you notice a big difference in the...

    Weird gas pumping issue

    I changed the purge valve, gas cap and vent valve assembly (in that order) when this happened. I did not change the canister. In my research, I had read the canister is usually not the issue and shouldn't be too quickly condemned, and in my case 3 years later, all is still good with original...

    Talk me out of it or into it

    My '08 Yukon Denali feels ancient after reading your post. Mine has 162K on it, and as some folks on here know from recent posts, it wasn't until this fall that I was double hit from a transmission followed by front diff failure, but that was OVER 150K of driving. Unless you are really having...

    Rear cargo area mat?

    I have the Husky Weather Beater carbo mat (love it) and from time to time, put those HF moving blankets down depending on what I'm hauling... best of both!
