    GM Steps up and Does the Right Thing

    Long story short but our 18 Yukon XL went down with a bad lifter back in December an eventually needed a whole new engine. The truck was out of commission for over 3 months (In the time we needed it the most). For two of the three months GM provided us with a Suburban rental (through...

    2021 Crossbar positioning

    Our 18 is in the shop and will be renting a 2021 and we need to put our box on the top. the rental Suburbans do not have cross bars. It looks like we can use our 2018 cross bars, they are the same part number. Can someone post the distances between the points on the 21, from #2 to #3 and #3 to...

    2018 YXL SLT no start issue

    2018, 41K. SLT with push button and remote start. We were out and about. Stopped the truck and went to restart it. Immediately I felt the brake be a little spongy. I pressed the start button, lights came on but no start, just a click. We tried this a few times, with both fobs in range same...

    Come on, I lean

    I just noticed that our 2018 Yukon XL is leaning to one side...something I noticed with our 2008, which I attributed to age...10 plus years old and 150K plus for miles. I measured wheelwell to the ground on both sides and the passenger side is about 5/8" of an incher lower. Any thoughts?

    PSA: For Those Buying 2021 Take-off Tires/Wheels

    2021 TPMS are not backwards compatible, you WILL want to swap yours over. Oh, Discount Tire will install your TPMS for $10/tire in about 45 minutes. Worth NOT getting your hands dirty.

    Finally, we landed our new Yukon XL

    The ole S.S. Pugski (2008 Yukon XL SLT) did great for us over the past 5 years as handling the duties as the S.S.Pugski and many years before that hauling skis all over the west but with 185K on her, she is getting long in tooth and we just dind't have confidence in her on long and remote trips...

    Wheel/Tires 18 or 20?

    I am going from 17's on our 08 which were marshmellow to the 18 we are getting that has 22's. I am pretty sure I don't want 22's for an every day wheel especially when it will come to winter driving. so I am thinking I want to spit the difference. I found some great options on FB market of some...

    Help us find our YXL or Suburban

    OK, we are ready to pull the trigger but don't have to have it today. We are also willing to travel for the vehicle that checks all of our needs. But ideally not a rust belt car. We will probably do a PPE and we have a friend at a GM dealer to run the service. Checklist: 2018-20 4WD White 2nd...

    18-20 Suburban/YXL vs. Expedition MAX

    For those that shopped both vehicles...what was the deciding factor(s) that swayed you to the GM product? Motor? Configuration? Price? Reliability? History with previous models? What could have made your decision go the other way? Coming from an 08 YXL, I am leaning to staying with the GM but...

    Aftermarket roof rails with cargo box

    We use a Packasport 115 box with Yakima cross bars on our current 08 YXL. What are people using for crossbars on this generation?

    Starting to look...down to 2018, 2019 and 2020's

    We will be replacing our 08 that now has 180K with something newer. While I would love a 21 or 22 with the diesel, we cannot justify (or have the means) to spending $70K. This is a business vehicle for us so it will be getting wrapped aos we will be limited to a few color options, dark blue and...

    Any one make a cargo/bed slide for their vehicle?

    I see these all over Pinterest for pickups but I am trying to figure a way to make one for the back of our YXL. I figure it could be secured to the latches where the 3rd row click in.

    2008 Hunting for gears

    I understand the transmission on our 08 feels like it is from the Jurassic era but on long climbs the hunting for gears is frustrating. Ideally I would like to put a more modern transmission in like the later 6 speed that was offered but I don't think that is feasable. Do I have any other options?

    This is my home workshop and the reason we don't have a third car.

    You might know me from such forums as....

    Miata.net, VWVortex and if you are a skier, Skitalk.com. Our company vehicle, the S.S. Pugski is a 08 Yukon XL with a sprite 170K on the odometer. It has been a great work horse but is getting long in tooth and showing her age. We are considering replacing her in the next year or so with this...
