#3042 of 3260 Denali or Suburban by pitchking Dec 27, 2005 (9:39 am)
Am currently in the market to lease a Suburban or Denali. Saw both yesterday, and there seems to be VERY little difference -- I can pack the Suburban with all the bells and whistles that the Denali has and still come in at $15K less than a Denali XL.   Any opinions out there as to which I should go with? I know the two are "cousins," but is there a reason to choose one over the other?   Thanks! Replies to this message: tdoh (Jan 04, 2006 11:12 am)
#3043 of 3260 2004 Yukon SLE by odin5 Dec 27, 2005 (4:47 pm)
I wanted to upgrade my instrument panel to include a transmission temp. gauge so I purchase a new 04 Denali IP #1513566 and everything works great except the trip od I no longer have the option of personal or business mileage and can't turn on/off the trip, I did not have the unit flashed hours and miles are "0"...What gives? I have all the steering wheel functions but these. Help Replies to this message: tdoh (Jan 04, 2006 11:17 am)
#3044 of 3260 Are 18" custom wheels/tires a good compromise? by mikesocal Dec 27, 2005 (11:38 pm)
I'll most likely be purchasing a Denali or XL Denali in the next day or two (looking like XL Denali at this point). I've researched other postings on wheel size and have come to the conclusion that going with the 20" rims/tires is asking for trouble when doing any sort of off roading (I'm just talking unpaved dirt roads, nothing crazy), as well as having more flexibility with snow cables, and handling pot holes without damaging the rims. So, I'll stick with the 17" stock wheels/tires for the purchase.   However, I'm still interested in getting an upgraded wheel/tire via aftermarket that upgrades the look, and that can still handle the unpaved roads, snow cables, pot holes, etc.   Has anyone found a comprise along the lines of an 18" custom wheel/tire rig? If so, is there a good online vendor that you could point me to? I live in Southern California, so I imagine there may be several outfits down here I can visit, but it would be great if I could at least see an online catalog to choose from.   Any help is appreciated.   Thanks.   Mike

Replying to: donahues (Jun 02, 2005 7:43 am) I had the same Issue, it was a warranty repair called the "intermediate shaft". Factory shaft wears out and there is a redesigned replacement for it that will prevent the issue in the future. It happens at slow speeds where it knocks the steering wheel. Took about an hour to change but since it was warranty I do not know the cost. After it was fixed, my steerign was very solid.

Replying to: blckislandguy (Nov 05, 2004 8:01 pm) I have an 02 DXL. I had the cold start knocking..actually it was doing it cold or hot. I was running 87 octane. I put in 91 and it no longer knocks upon start up. For me its not worth the extra gas cost so I will live with the knock.

Replying to: drej (Dec 15, 2005 11:42 am) Not that this helps but 2003 Yukon XL has almost the same problem. The left signal sometimes starts the flashers. I can't find the problem and may get it to the (gasp) dealer.

Replying to: drej (Dec 15, 2005 11:42 am) Usually this kind of weird light problems are grounding issues. When a light ground fails it messes up with all sorts of lighting circuitry.   Check around all corners of the vehicle for grounding points for lights. There might be several points. You probably need to remove some of the light fixtures when tracing the wires.   Also check that trailer light hook-up.   You'll probably find a broken, loose or otherwise bad ground wire connection somewhere in the wiring system.   Your dealer, if kind, could perhaps tell you where the grounding points for light wiring are and then you can trouble shoot yourself but your dealer might also not tell you anything for free...   Arrie

Replying to: pitchking (Dec 27, 2005 9:39 am) Notwithstanding the "fact" that the DXL is overpriced for what you get for it, you could pack a Suburban with lots of bells and whistles but you cannot completely pack it in such a way that it becomes essentially the same as a DXL...and I'm not talking just cosmetics. Close, but not completely. If you're willing to forgo one or two minor differences and are indifferent towards the cosmetics (both exterior and interior)...then you probably would be better off w/ the 'burb.   And yes, the one major mechanical difference is AWD on the DXL vs. 4WD on the 'burb; if 4LO is important to you, then the DXL won't do. Entertainment-wise--although the 'burb does offer the nav option, it does not offer a factory slave CD/CD changer option...meaning, if you decide to get the nav option for the 'burb, you can either use the nav head unit either for navigation or for listening to audio CDs...but not both at the same time.

Replying to: odin5 (Dec 27, 2005 4:47 pm) I don't know/remember if some/all of the DIC functions are also controlled by and/or stored in the BCM; I assume that your original cluster had a full-functioned DIC as well. I also assume that the Denali cluster you bought is indeed off an '04; I mention this because in '05 GM took away the personal/business trip meter option, and as such, would not show up on an '05 cluster...although I have read that it is possible to reprogram missing DIC options back into a cluster.
