    Dissable TPMS

    Don't know anything about GM, but when I bought a 2006 Toyota Tundra years ago, I didn't like the system. Went to the local dealer and got a wiring diagram of the dash cluster unit. Clipped the wires to the warning light, and removed the sensors. No more TPMS.

    2020 Tahoe factory battery warranty

    The battery, like tires, are provided by an outside source. It should have been in the Owner's packet when you bought the vehicle new.

    Lift gate window exploded

    I never use the remote start on super cold or hot days. I want to be able to control which accessories are turned on, not "Hal".

    Would this be a good battery?

    Buy whatever is on sale, don't worry about buying "the best", and plan on replacing it every three years.

    DFW area members?

    There is a neat 50's diner over in Bridgeport. They have a lot of club meets on the weekends, and sometimes "open calls". Let me know if that interests anyone and I'll do some research.

    Denali ACC

    You can have it out of my 2016 Yukon. Worst POS I've seen out of GM in 55 years

    Adding Adaptive Cruise on 2022 Yukon

    Nope, went out to the vehicle and tried what you mentioned. Sitting in the driveway, I could get it to temporarily disengage, but as soon as it went into drive, ACC is the only option when engaging cruise. You're lucky to be to get rid of this POS feature.

    Adding Adaptive Cruise on 2022 Yukon

    While you're asking your dealer if they can add it , please ask for me if they can "uninstall" it on my wife's 2016 Yukon. I would pay someone big bucks to have it removed. Biggest POS feature GM ever came up with, at least without giving the owner the capability to turn it off. I'm serious, I...

    is adaptive cruise standard on a High Country Suburban?

    IMHO, the worst thing GM ever put on a vehicle. People need to get their thumbs out of their a**, and pay attention when driving a vehicle, or just park it and take a Uber.

    Still can't get Adaptive Cruise on Z71 in 2023 but you can on a work truck..

    You're better off without it. I bought the wife a used 2016 Yukon, that has ACC on it. I hate the feature, but my dealer told me it can't be removed once installed.

    Mandatory Onstar?

    Sounds they are copying the business model from MS, mandatory updates for Windows 10 & 11. (At least there is no charge, YET!) Don't you just love big tech and big corporations telling you how to conduct your life?

    Broken drivers side motor mount.... I JB welded it yesterday UPDATE: it lasted a week lol

    Don't know your location, but you seem to be a betting man. You might want to head to your nearest casino.

    Not sure this is going to work out (considering selling after 3 weeks)

    "Since you’ve been looking at Suburbans around my vintage, thought I’d ask what kind of pricing you think a 2003 might go for. I purchased it new, an LS four-wheel, 5.3L non-flex with about 100k miles. A California vehicle, dual AC, AM/FM multi-disc CD, rear DVD, bucket seats in front with two...

    Not sure this is going to work out (considering selling after 3 weeks)

    This is why I'm in the process of restoring my '91 4wd Suburban to be used as a daily driver. Found it out in Calif last year for $2200. Another 3K for a repaint, 1K for wheels/tires, 1200 for interior refurb. No computers, no onstar tracking, no auto stop. Besides being better looking than any...

    Sort of like the engineering team that put the battery in that location?

    Lucked out on 22 Yukon XL Denali

    Nice looking vehicle. Those recessed headlight wells makes the nose look about 20' long.

    Silverado Wheels on Yukon

    The 2016 Sales Brochure shows that 18" was the standard, with "Upgrades" To 20" & 22". I think that all Denali's (at least the 2016's were all 22". What is the the size of the 2021 tires that you're looking at acquiring? I'll try to get a couple of shots showing the side profile of the 18's on...

    Battery Size

    Thanks. Not sure this technique would work with a conventional flooded battery. I would hate to have battery acid dripping into the engine compartment. Now, if you were exchanging an AGM battery for another AGM there wouldn't be a problem with acid.

    Silverado Wheels on Yukon

    Thanks again.The tires on the 2021 Silverado are 265-65-18", which was the original size tire in 2016 if the truck had had 18" rims installed when new. I think the speedometer is within 0.1% between the two sizes. I'll ask the GM dealer tech to reset the computer if he feels it is necessary.
