    Stunned!! Denali 6.2 spun a rod bearing at 25k..

    Mine seems faster, too. Of course, that may be true since the new engine doesn’t have bad bearings. Got back from a long road trip this week, and it feels nice and stable at high speeds.

    Engine Issue 2023 Yukon Denali 6.2L only 4k miles

    You're getting way ahead of yourself with thinking of the Lemon Law. That's for problems that don't respond to repeated fixes. Gotta give them a change to fix it first. The problem that gets complained about here is bad rod bearings, but your engine wouldn't run at all if that was the case...

    Rodent Damage

    Note that a lot of dealers will want to replace the wiring harness when a rat chews through one wire. I've heard horror stories of $4,000 bills from BMW dealers on this issue. We had a rat chew threw a wire on my wife's Toyota - it was running on one less cylinder - which is a real issue when...

    Stunned!! Denali 6.2 spun a rod bearing at 25k..

    Doesn't sound like special treatment - that's what any owner SHOULD EXPECT for warranty work. Really, the longest wait period should be the engine heading by truck to the dealer from the factory in Michigan. Good to hear they got it done for you.

    Magnetic Ride Control vs Air Ride Suspension

    My '17 Denali had just Magnetic Ride Control and rode fantastic. My '23 has MRC WITH the air suspension, and it rides 10 times better. So - Yes!

    2022 Denali oil comsumption

    I agree that I wouldn’t accept “this is normal” from a dealer. Try another dealer or call GM. If you can’t get satisfaction, you may be stuck selling that lemon and buying another.

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    For future reference, changing the oil will never solve any problems that an engine is having.

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    That doesn’t make any sense. Why would it take a month to diagnose? Did you talk directly to GM about a rental, or did the dealer tell you that? As suggested, I think you need a different dealer- those guys are terrible. As for fuel - I always use 91 (highest available in California.)...

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    Got a call during lunch today that the truck was ready, so I went and picked it up. The tech told me it was a main bearing, but the work order said that the #7 and #8 rod bearings failed. They: 1. Replaced engine. 2. Replaced oil cooling system. (contaminated with metal debris) 3. Replaced...

    2024 yukon denali range estimate

    It seems to change based on your driving. I do mostly in town short trips, and it will tell me 350 range on a full tank. After a weekend of heavy freeway driving, it’ll say over 400 after a fill up.

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    The dealer called and said my new engine arrived today. I should be up and running by Wednesday next week.

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    Yep. The failures seem to happen at about 3,000 miles or so, too - so that’s how long a 6.2 LS will last with bad bearings, I guess. Another interesting note - according to the dealer, when the push button transmission sticks in park, the only work around is to have someone crawl under with...

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    I saw a few threads on this, but it's such a big failure that I think my issue deserves another thread. I was an hour from home on Friday and fortunately was 2 miles from my exit, so I was in the right lanes of the freeway. The engine died, and I coasted off at the next exit. I stopped at a...

    Remove Front License Plate Bracket - 2023 Yukon?

    Either that, or I’ll just put the California black plate up front. I’ve currently just got the empty black bracket on, and it looks ok below the blacked out grille. Looks like the alternative is doing minor paint work on a new car, and I’m not too enthusiastic about that.

    Remove Front License Plate Bracket - 2023 Yukon?

    Thanks! My '17 was White Frost Tricoat, (which I loved), so I went with the Sterling Metallic. It's a cool "dark silver" that I really like. I keep saying that I thought my '17 was the best car ever made (smothest riding, etc.) The '23 is 10 times better in every way! My favorite options...

    Remove Front License Plate Bracket - 2023 Yukon?

    Your state doesn't have front plates and they still put it on? Weird! GM must pay the dealers labor to do it or something. Thanks for that info. That is probably more work than I want to take on, but I do really hate that big ugly bracket!

    Remove Front License Plate Bracket - 2023 Yukon?

    Hello, It's been a few years. My '17 Yukon XL Denali was parked on a public street in October, and a drunk driver in a Ford Focus managed to hit it hard enough to total it. So - it's been replaced with a '23 Yukon XL Denali Ultimate. My first move with a new car is always to remove the front...

    Broken latch in center console cover

    The latch that holds the center console closed in my ‘17 Denali is broken, so I can’t open it. Does anyone know how to take it apart and fix it? thanks

    2016-2018 Yukon XL or Suburban 6.2L with second row bench?

    Very uncommon. It is an option with the Denalis, but it's not often checked. Your best option is to find a bench that was made for a different (5.3 Yukon, Suburban, etc) truck, change the upholstery to match and put it in. I don't know if you'd be giving up the seat heaters. Don't know if...

    2017 Yukon transmission shudder

    The dealer had my truck for 6 days (gave me a loaner) and ran it through all sorts of diagnosis steps. They flushed the transmission and replaced it with a different fluid, and the shudder is gone.

    Mine just started this, too - Thanks for the heads up!

    Front license plate mount

    Mine came with one and I took it off. It uses wood-type screws to screw right into the black plastic. measure twice, screw ‘em in once.

    Replacing 20 Inch Tires on Yukon XL 4WD soon. Buy all 4?

    I do have a denali, but it has these selections: 2WD, 4WD High, 4WD Low, Auto. I'm under the impression that, if I drive in Auto full time, then I'll only have 4WD when I need it - so that's not the same as "AWD." Mine is an XL with the trailering package.

    Replacing 20 Inch Tires on Yukon XL 4WD soon. Buy all 4?

    I searched and couldn't find it - My Yukon has 22,000 miles on it now, and I'll probably need to replace 2 of the tires in the next few thousand miles. Questions: 1. What tires does everyone like in 20 inch? 2. What does everyone think of the tire stores' favorite line "you must replace all 4...

    I didn't know GM put a governor on this truck ?

    I can certainly confirm that my truck winds (nearly) to 6 in gear. Sometimes when I’m in a hurry, and sometimes when I selected “L” rather than “D” by mistake.
