Picked it up today and all is well. Annoying howl noise is gone! They replaced the rear dif and either ate the cost or worked something out with GM. They said it was about a $4500 repair and asked me to pay $500 which I gladly did. Class act all around I definitely will be buying my next GM...
No and it's not the dealership I bought it at either. Just the local Chevy dealership in the small town I live in. It's been serviced there a handful of times but they earned a customer for life after this. Fantastic people. Hinton Chevrolet in Lynden, WA
Bought it brand new in summer of '21 with 3 miles and here we are on warranty repair number 5 on this beauty This time it's the rear differential. The vehicle is actually out of warranty (63K miles) but the repair is being covered by our local dealership with little cost to us. It's been making...
Nitto Ridge Grapplers...absolutely fantastic tire IMO no need to look for anything else. They look great, ride smooth and quiet and have good traction in all conditions. On our 2nd set, got 50K miles out of the 1st set. These are the same size as the stock tires and with the 5.3 our XL averages...
We have an slt with the basic suspension no mag ride or air and it's by far the smoothest vehicle I've ever rode in. Never been in a new model with either of the fancy suspensions so I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on but I won't have to worry about much going wrong with the suspension...
This has been argued both ways a million times over and there's sound argument for both sides. I just change it annually because to me it's cheap peace of mind. I use synthetic liquimoly on my german cars and it usually comes out looking about the same as it does going in. Waste of time and...
I've been going with 5K mile oil changes for 20 years now give or take and I've never had an engine problem on any car I've owned. Some of my cars I just do annually because they never get close to 5K miles put on in a year
Stopped in at my local dealership service department (small place in a small town) and they said they’ve not yet seen that tsb and the rear dif fluid is indeed on back order. Said they will call when it arrives
I’ve just recently started hearing a strange noise coming from the rear only when the vehicle first comes out of the garage. This must be what I’m hearing. I guess it’s time for warranty visit number 4 to the dealer
Smooth ride suspension definitely squats and the wdh is the only thing out there as of now that will help. Eventually I would guess someone will come up with an aftermarket airbag setup but nobody has one available yet
let’s see what everyone is toting around on their family haulers. Rooftop or rear mounted, let’s see em. I’ll start with a hitch mounted Lolo Rack that holds 6 bikes and transports them quite well
2nd row bench is fantastic. Buckets were never even a consideration for us. Just a family of 4 but being able to toss stuff in the middle of the bench between the kids is great. Otherwise what you have to toss stuff on the floor?
No we don’t have those. It made a very noticeable pop or clunk noise when it first started acting up so sure seems like the window came out of the little clamp deal that holds onto the glass. Assuming that’s how they still work but I’ve never had it apart
That's the thing though if you actually push down on the throttle pedal in the 5.3 they do get up and go pretty good. It's not the slouch y'all make it out to be. Sure it doesn't rip like a 6.2 but it's not a total dog
What color is that yukon? The black roof looks much better on that than it does on white vehicles. There's a couple white with black roof yukons driving around town here and they just don't look good to me at all
The dealership said not to use that window but yesterday my wife put it down without even thinking about it. Car was super hot (just picked it up from Masterpark at the airport) and needed some airflow and the window worked totally normal. Seems the service tech did something while in there to...
I don't feel that's the case at all. I don't hypermile or even give a shit about fuel mileage but I do know my 6.0 silverado stops at that gas station about twice as often as the 5.3 yukon and doesn't feel like it has that much more power to give. If you give it the beans in the 5.3 it shoots to...
According to a chevy promo video I just watched it has lowered suspension and the tahoe pursuit vehicle chassis (maybe beefier frame and harder bushings or something like that?) so it's clearly much more performance oriented so you're probably better off trading it in on something else if the...
