    Looking for advice on rear shocks...

    2016 Yukon with optional Air Leveling/Trailer Package. I just spent a week in Dallas and have to say...you guys in Dallas/Plano need to spend some $$$$ on road maintenance/re-surfacing. Frisco wasn't bad at all but once you drop South of Legacy on Preston or most side streets, the roads are...

    Our 2016 Yukon with the auto leveling towing package option may need new rear shocks. The truck had 56K miles now and n a 500 mile road trip yesterday I noticed excessive rear end bouncing as if there was little or no shock dampening at all. Has anyone else experienced this with this option...

    I saw this in the sidewall of the right front tire...Goodyear LS-2, on my 2016 Yukon. Tire has about 20K miles....all 4: are wearing well...but this is the oly tire that looks like this. Should I take it in or am I being paranoid?

    Replace Tow Package Auto Level Shocks with superior product.

    Intermittent Braking Loss on '16 Yukon

    I have suddenly experienced occasional "Dead Pedal" at low speeds and when stopped on a hill either headed up or down an incline.

    Good timing on New Tire Install

    So at 31K miles...the Continental OEM tires on our 2016 Yukon were down to 4/32 all the around. We have a bunch of driving coming up over the Holidays so this past Friday I started tire shopping. I favor Michelines but they weren't in my budget with building a new home and moving going on. I...

    Gibson Custom Duals for 5.3

    Has anyone seen or heard this system on a '15~'16 Yukon/Tahoe? http://store.newlevelmotorsports.com/gibson5668.html I like the classic look of exhaust exiting both sides behind the rear wheels. I had a similar system on a 5.7 2 door Tahoe years ago and it sounded great.
