She just arrived: Summit White Denali: Update: Transmission fixed!

[WittyMathGuy]

This is exactly what I want to do when mine comes in! I wish there was an official program to swap them out. These things look so much better with the smaller wheel / larger tire combo. Swapped K02's onto my Land Cruiser in the next size larger, and it just made the truck look perfect. Drove just as well too. I'd also love the ride advantage of going from the 22's to the 20's. Every time I watch a review that praises the ride, it's the AT4 with mag/air/20's.

I couldn’t agree more! I’ll update this thread (unless the mods prefer me to do so in the Exterior sub forum) on ride characteristics, etc. over the course of the next few months. I’ll also be able to comment on a comparison as I’ll be mounting the 22”s back on in the late spring.

Unfortunate turn of events: while getting my clear bra and window tint done, they informed me a huge pool of transmission fluid had leaked out on to their floor. Checked at home and a bunch there too. FML. Less than 100 miles on the odometer and back to the dealership. PRAYING this isn’t foreshadowing what’s to follow

...After (20" AT4 takeoff swap with 275/60R20 Goodyear Duratrac's). Keeping the 22's for spring/summer and running the 20's in fall and possibly winter:

I think the 22s looked nicer. It's all personal opinion though obviously. Either way, nice ride!

OMG, that is crazy. Let's us know what the diagnostic is.

Hate to hear that. I sure hoped that quality would start improving as we get closer to their one year anniversary. Mine has been in dealer service 7 times in 6 months.

Sorry about the tranny leak.

what did they have to do with the tire swap. Any reprogramming?

Sorry to hear. Hope your dealer gets it fixed quickly and efficiently!

WOO HOO!!! New Yukon Monday! Looks (a lot) like all your rides but this one’s mine! Specs as follows:

Summit White
Black interior
Premium Package
Adaptive Air Ride/ Prem. Capability 4 wheel drive package
Max tow package
Second row bench

I think this one may be one-on-a-kind as I hadn’t seen another one exactly like it anywhere in the country with the second row bench and optioned as I ordered it. Order placed on 12/3, arrived at dealer on 2/13.

Mods done and planned:
Weathertech floor liners
AT4 20” rims swap with Goodyear Duratracs mounted (arriving tomorrow or Wed) for winter, off-road hunting trips
Front clear bra
Front window tint
Valentine V1 discrete wiring (not hardwired)
Hundo stashed

More photos to follow!

Congrats! Received my Pearl Beige Yukon Denali last month, you are going to love it.

Update to add: Just heard back from the Service Advisor and they found the transmission seal to be defective. One is on order and fingers-crossed, that will fix the problem. Joke of the day:

"Because they can't figure out how to make them leak transmission fluid!!!"

Sorry to hear about the tranny seal glitch.

I agree with you on the look of the 20" AT4 wheels with the Duratrac's, they will work better too.

Great ride, very jealous here.

A new seal or a new transmission?

Just the seal.

My truck was returned to me on Saturday evening with a new transmission seal (the tech said the seal had a big wrinkle in it causing the leak). Drove it around town on Sunday and this morning and everything seemed to be in good working order! Photos to follow of front windows tinted as they turned out really great!

Nice! I got the tint and PPF done on 2/12, but I haven't been able to keep it clean enough to take worthy pictures and share on here. With the rain, followed by the winter storm, in Houston -- it's been a battle. Mine is hunter metallic, and it sure does look great with the tint, and I am sure yours will too!

They did offer to install the "clear" (80%) tint on the windshield and all the rear windows -- but I wasn't sure if that's actually helpful. Was planning on starting a thread here to ask what the folks here think. Haven't done that yet either -- been busy with busted pipes and water heater in the attic :/

I went to look at a new boat and came out to find a previous-gen identical in appearance parked a few spots over. Random photos of the two together:
