Do the tahoes have a rear diff drain plug? Through various research, I thought the burb had no plug, and that you had to pull the entire cover to change the fluid. Come to find while I was under there a week or two ago, theres a plug! Huzzah!
My 2010 Yukon XL Denali doesn't have a drain plug on the rear axle.

I have not taken a close look, since I never planned to do it myself. But believe there is NO plug and one must remove the diff cover.

I finally made time to take the Yukon to a local locksmith to get a second fob programmed for it.
They are super easy to do yourself and takes less than 15 minutes to do. I now have three remote for mine. You even buy the fobs for relatively cheap.

The place I ordered my fob from said for newer years (2009+ I think), a special programmer was needed. At least for my 2012 it was. The guy brought out this huge laptop-sized programmer and plugged it into my OBDII port to program mine. Only cost $30 to do it. Took 2 minutes.

Both of my GMT900 have been 2010 so maybe when they put the better radio in the 2012 they upgraded the software also.

Damn, ordered something last night off ebay for about $100. They were offering 10% ebay bucks, so kind of the same except you gotta spend the ebay bucks on ebay!

Or it’s free. I bought a $12 remote off eBay and came with instructions. Was super easy.

Well I went and started up the burb at the mechanics parking lot. He hasnt taken it in yet, so he just did a visual check. No squeal, knock, whatever. I swear, hand to god, it sounded like imminent failure last week when I started it up. I tried it with both the HVAC off, and on, and no change...just purring right along. So, hopefully it is a tensioner, or a compressor in a worse case scenario. I cant imagine that an awful engine that is teetering on failure would sound terrible one moment, and just fine the next....so fingers crossed it is indeed a simple fix. He also assured me that it would be pretty strange for the 6.0 to die at 144k.

I am also having him check a knock/clunk/noise from the back passenger side. Something to do with the leafs. I posted a question in suspension a while back and no one responded....likely due to it being a 2500. I rented a lift a few weeks ago and found nothing loose so I'm not sure what the problem could be....mechanic will look at that too. That said, I took it to carx, and another shop to have them look into that rear end noise...both said they found nothing wrong, but its there, and it sounds like a loose tin of some sort. I figured I bumped the exhaust head shield or something, but nope, its secure.

i have had a a/c compressor sound fine at regular idle/rpm but when revved up or ran a couple minutes later would make a deathly noise, I would keep an eye on it, if the sound returns pull the a/c belt off and see if that that is it.
