    Have you ever ridden in the back seat of your own vehicle?

    When i was in the car biz we were told to sell features and benefits, so the customer understood what everything did for them Feature = tilt wheel Benefit = more headroom

    Bought 2024 Yukon SLT - coming from my 2017 Tahoe LT - WOW the difference

    The Yukon feels like a rolling bank vault, and with the luxury package in the SLT, is worlds apart from the 2017 Tahoe. I seriously doubted making the purchase at first, as my Tahoe runs great and has been paid off for a long time - but well worth it. Found a one-owner, no accidents, 30k miles...

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    2025 2wd in sport mode, just seems quicker. To be fair, the Denali 6.2 has some detonation - mild but it was there - so the dealer may have filled it with 87 octane, almost certainly, because it was pinging under load So based on how how much better my personal 5.3 runs on E85, it could very...

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    I have a 2025 2wd Tahoe 5.3 rental with 30k miles - because my Tahoe got hit my a cyclist ( senior citizen on an E-Trike rammed my door - only in Florida!) I swear this truck is faster or equally as fast as the Denali 6.2 I drove yesterday, which was a 4x4 and higher miles , 42k Honestly...

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    Anyone else underwhelmed after coming from a 5.3 to a 6.2? I felt a difference but not enough to care - I'll probably get arguments here but i could barely tell Just drove 5.3 in a 2023 last week, and for a little less power, I'm leaning towards the 5.3 now.

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    Thank for the detailed reply, it is appreciated - going at 2pm and very likely i'll drive off with it. Never owned a 6.2 but already love the power from my limited drive around the dealership lot - closing time so didn't keep the guy late. Can a Cadillac dealer do CPO on this truck? Or is...

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    Not an XL, has 42k on the engine so that makes me feel somewhat confident. Are all the 6.2's running heavier oil, or just the affected ones? I have heard about the issue, but not scared of it unless there's definitely issues with ALL of them - anyone wanna chime in?

    2023 Denali - looking to buy - what should I watch for at 42k miles?

    2023 Denali with 42k miles - what should I watch out for? 6.2 is running strong and still has 18k left on the powertrain warranty - should i assume I'm safe? I'm coming out of a 5.3 Tahoe with 110k miles, but all I have heard is the issues with the 6.2 Appreciate all replies - bring it on...

    New end of year or pull the trigger now? Any big sales coming?

    Not much on cars.com, everything over 60k so it looks like the 2023 LT is the play. The 2023 will be in the 40's so it'll get paid off in a year or less - sounds good unless a steal on a new one came up.

    New end of year or pull the trigger now? Any big sales coming?

    I'm looking at a used 2023 but wondering if year-end will bring any blowout sales of the 2025's? I'm looking at a 2023 LT for 44k, but see it was 64k new - would a 2025 be anywhere near this price? Like 55k or so? Correct me if I'm wrong, do these rigs go on sale at year end? I don't know if...

    6L80 Heat Related Symptoms

    I had my shop take out the non-OEM thermal bypass and install a new OEM unit, now in FL heat 94 degrees it takes a solid effort of me intentionally driving hard, for it to get up over 180 So the lesson is don't buy knock off crap from the internet - the non OEM worked since November, then...

    6L80 Heat Related Symptoms

    I'm starting to think the t-stat was either installed wrong, or is sticking, and I just didn't see high temps until it got hot recently. It gets hot very slowly steadily, as if the fluid is just staying in the trans and never getting to the cooler. It takes 30 minutes of driving in 80+ degrees...

    Overheating 6L80e

    I'll give it a run this weekend and post here. Today, 30 minutes of stop and go outside temp 80, I could not get it above 180, and I rode it HARD So the last time it was hitting 240's, I parked on a hill, had dinner, and it shot to 240 immediately - so not sure if the parking on a hill maters...

    I put the thermal bypass on about 5 months ago, so this is the first time in warmer weather. WTF do you think is causing 240 degrees now? Radiator issues maybe? Crazy that it's this hot in city driving, I literally drove 20 minutes to Lowe's and just randomly checked it on the way home, and...

    2017 - didn't know the thread was for those years. I'm still wondering how the trans temp can EVER go below the radiator temps, if it's part of that system T-stat would run it cool until the radiator temps came up to 210, then I'd be at 210 anyways -right?

    Overheating 6L80e

    I'm hitting 230 occasionally in Florida stop and go traffic , and 220 pretty regularly. Should I be worried or is this nothing? Outside/ambient temps 90-94 Trans seems normal.

    6L80 Heat Related Symptoms

    I'm hitting 220 degrees and even 230 in stop and go traffic, in 90 degree FL weather. Should I be concerned if not towing? I have the updated thermostat for the trans, but if my factory cooler is in my radiator, how can it stay any coler than the 210 degree radiator? I never paid attention to...

    HELP me choose the right Yukon - SLT or SLE?

    I'm going to buy a 2018 to 2020 Yukon in the next few weeks, but need advice on the SLT vs SLE trim levels. I currently have a Tahoe LT - and I think the SLT is pretty similar in options, but not sure about the SLE? I do not want a sunroof, don't want mag ride, do not need the 6.2 motor, and I...

    Valet dipshit put my 4x4 on - drove for a bit on dry pavement ok?

    The ******* valet engaged my 4x4 somehow, truck felt weird driving home , just around corners. Figured it out the next day, trying to make a tight turn at Costco, so didn't drive for weeks or anything - just half a day or so, and noticed some drag when turning sharply. How bad is this for the...

    Thanks! My CPA said it can stay in my name, and he can still get me the business deduction, so looking good. I found a mint condition 2023 Suburban Premier so probably pulling the trigger on it tomorrow.
