    Quality Control

    Sorry ya’ll have to deal with all the issues. This is why I buy my Chevys as base models only lol. If they kinda suck, I don’t feel bad about keeping them. Funny our LS diesel has been actually pretty solid put together, at least so far. Still have a fully loaded X7 for “real” luxury.. that...

    Anyone uses PIAA wipers on 2021+? What model # of PIAA fit 21+?

    Interesting to find out OEMs are Bosch. I immediately replace any wipers with Bosch Icons on any new vehicle recently. Did same with the Suburban, assuming whatever came on it was bottom of the barrel China made stuff. Maybe next time I’ll try the OEMs.

    BMW 530d

    You are not seriously comparing Germany to Russia are you? I’m sure it’s better now but even in early/mid 2000’s going 10-100km outside cities, infrastructure was non existent. Unless you are driving Moscow - St. Petersburg, where else can you travel 600km in 4 hours??

    Jeep Grand Wagoneer | color me impressed

    At a $5k delta, the X7 would be a no brainer, however (and maybe I’m the one out of touch here) but how in the hell is a grand wagoneer priced within $5k of an M60i?? Unless you need more space in/behind the 3rd row, the X7 would obliterate the GW in pretty much every metric. If you want...

    Coming from Navigator...what should I buy? Denali Ultimate vs escalade??

    Luxury anything and low depreciation doesn’t exist unfortunately. If you want the lowest depreciation on a GM SUV you may need to look at a base model Suburban… your wife will likely disapprove so that extra 40k remember you’re spending on her ☺️

    21+ Tahoe LED Tail Lights

    Lol. I wouldn’t wait just for the LED tail lights. A refresh is probably safer than a brand new model but I would also prefer to wait for 2nd/3rd MY for the bugs to be worked out. Why not get a 23/24 now, enjoy it and trade for a 26/27 if the changes are sooo worth it. Who knows how long it...

    21+ Tahoe LED Tail Lights

    Warranty may be denied if you take it to the dealer for an electrical issue WITHOUT removing the harness however why would you risk it and not just remove the harness??

    2022 suburban LS screen upgrade

    It’s pretty lame if you think about it GM put the 10” in the 2021 LS models and then decided to downgrade for MY22 onward (likely coz they needed to rid of a pallet of these 8” screens). I personally didn’t know about the smaller screen until after I already ordered my truck (assuming it was...

    2022 suburban LS screen upgrade

    Didn’t the 21 MY have the same radio (IOR?) with the larger 10” display? That’s why I had hopes this could be figured out eventually. It’s also possible that MY22-24 changed over to a different screen / part no due to most models going over to Android Auto based infotainment.

    2022 suburban LS screen upgrade

    Please do report back Yes, unfortunately that’s how all the OEMs are evolving. Even relatively small upgrades or repairs are very difficult or not possible at all anymore due to the “software lock”. I’m still hopeful someone will figure it out. Its the only thing that bothers me on our LS. Not...

    another warranty issue with the wife's '21

    My (front and rear) washers suddenly stopped working too a few weeks back. 22 suburban.

    DEF level sensor issue

    Well, at least good to hear mines not an anomaly. @Stbentoak I assume yours is a 21? I wonder if that has something to do with it or the programming. Would be nice to get more data points from other forum members.

    DEF level sensor issue

    I browse the forum on a mobile device so it must not be showing. Didn’t even realize posts here have signatures until you pointed it out. Sorry.

    DEF level sensor issue

    What’s your MY? Mine is a 22 produced in May of 2022. Demonworks on YouTube who has owned every MY duramax pickup so far (20-23) said that the newer ones drank more DEF, especially the LZ0’s but I wonder if GM changed anything in the programming along the way and that later built LM2’s drink...

    DEF level sensor issue

    Dealer filled the DEF tank full at delivery (at least according to board computer). Filled 3x 2.5 gallon jugs and now at 50% after 11k miles and two oil changes. So basically 1 gallon of DEF per ~1,000 miles. Not towing either.

    2024 Suburban/Yukon

    What makes you think that this is the last year? Got a source? All articles so far from sources like GMauthority say the LZ0 will replace the LM2 diesel with the refresh…

    2024 Suburban/Yukon

    Congrats and welcome to the “poverty spec” club! I love our LS duramax suburban with the front bench seat. We wanted the front bench seat so LS was the only way (other than trying to retrofit like someone here amazingly did). Honestly I wouldn’t pay for anything more with a GM lol and it helps...

    6.2L or Duramax reliability

    The duramax fits this type of heavy vehicle very well. All the torque down low, easy cruising with little revs and unbeatable fuel economy. Perfect for hauling lots of people, stuff, tow or all of the above. Literally nothing about this platform has characteristics for any type of “hot...

    Park assist Retro. Yukon

    It really all depends. One thing to keep in mind is with BMW all services for the first 36k/3yrs are free. I just paid $230 for the 2nd oil change on my Suburban diesel, that didn’t even include a tire rotation. Comparatively oil change for my X7 M50i past the first 3 years is under $200. Yes...

    6.2L or Duramax reliability

    I’m also in the Bay Area and have had my baby max for over a year now. I have yet to run into any issues of not finding diesel, every major gas station has it. Diesel prices so far have been at or slightly above premium. I absolutely love the range, with 700 miles I can sometimes go a month...

    Park assist Retro. Yukon

    Exactly. I wondered if there was a setting somewhere. Doesn’t seem to be. Luckily I got used to the size and able to park pretty effortlessly, even in small spots, without the assist. Probably helps one of my first vehicles growing up in narrow European streets was a 72 Suburban :)

    Should I trade my 16 Denali for a RST?

    If you’re shopping for a Tahoe/Yukon and want “real” luxury you may want to check BMW or Mercedes. None of the GMs be as refined as an X7 or GLS. The Caddy comes close in some areas but still a GM underneath so you will not get the refinement. I agree I sworn to never buy a vehicle without a...
