Replying to: quickdropmarc (Jan 09, 2006 9:48 pm) I pick it up tomorrow night after work.   It's better to pick up a new car in the daylight so you can inspect it for dings and scratches that otherwise you won't see until you wash it the first time (which will happen this weekend I bet, lol). After you leave the lot, it's going to be harder to get the dealer to fix any glitches like that.   Maybe take a halogen shop light along if you can't break loose from work before the sun goes down.   The most frequently overlooked item on the pre-delivery checklist seems to be the tires. Often they are overinflated to prevent flatspotting while in transit.   The only think else I can think of off-hand is maybe try to get a third key out of them at cost. Keys are getting pricy to replace these days.   Congrats on the new ride! Please post about your deal in the GMC Yukon /Yukon Denali: Prices Paid & Buying Experience discussion too. Thanks!   Steve, Host
#3053 of 3260 Good Advice,Steve... by quickdropmarc Jan 09, 2006 (10:29 pm)
...thanks for the welcome and tips. I will try and leave work in time to see the new car in the daylight. I take it the keys are not something easily copied at the hardware store (for a spare)?   I bought the Yukon on a GMS deal (GM Employee discount) that I qualify for through a family member, and got the $5,500 rebate on top of it, which made me jump quick. Besides, I like a little chrome on my car bumpers, so the '07 model doesn't excite me.   ciao, Marc Replies to this message: steve_ (Jan 09, 2006 11:19 pm) tdoh (Jan 11, 2006 12:46 pm) quickdropmarc (Jan 12, 2006 9:05 pm) sdron (Jan 11, 2006 2:40 pm) quickdropmarc (Jan 12, 2006 9:09 pm)

#3056 of 3260 Sleeping in Yukon Denali Question? by quickdropmarc Jan 10, 2006 (10:18 am)
I bought the 06 Yukon with the 2nd row buckets; and occasionally I sleep in the back when fishing bass tournaments. In my previous Tahoe I used an air bed that fit in the back with the 2nd row seats folded forward, and third row removed. I will do the same with the Denali, but there is a "hole" or gap between the seats that I need to cover so my air bed is supported on a flat surface. Any suggestions? I figure I can just lay a piece of plywood across the gap if nothing else, since the air bed is thick enough that I wouldn't feel the edges of the board, but thought I would see if anyone was more creative in their method of solving this problem.   ciao, Marc Replies to this message: drclaw (Apr 01, 2007 11:55 am)

Replying to: quickdropmarc (Jan 09, 2006 10:29 pm) I thought you bought a Denali? Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think the Denali bumpers have any chrome on them...or did I misinterpret your "I like a little chrome on my car bumpers" comment? In fact, the only factory exterior parts on the current-gen Denali that even closely has a chrome-like appearance--other than the polished wheel option--are the front grill and the "Yukon" and "Denali" nameplate badges.   Or did GM add some chrome stuff to the exterior of the '06 Denali?

Replying to: quickdropmarc (Jan 09, 2006 10:29 pm) Can you tell me a little more about qualifying for a GM Employee discount through a family member.   Got me wondering if my Brother is getting lazy on me? Replies to this message: quickdropmarc (Jan 12, 2006 9:09 pm)
#3059 of 3260 Re: DEAD BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [hrhauser] by tyarbro Jan 12, 2006 (1:43 pm)
Replying to: hrhauser (Dec 21, 2002 6:50 am) I have a 2003 Denali with only 22,000 miles on it and I am the 3rd owner. The battery has drained dead 4 times in the last 2 months only over night. It was a GM buy back vehicle for the battery dying but they assured me it was fixed.GM replaced the OnStar computer but still did not fix the problem. They can not figure out what it is draining it down overnight.hrhauser, I am curious if I bought the same Denali you had? Can any one help me with this?

Replying to: tdoh (Jan 11, 2006 12:46 pm) Nope, you are right, there is no chrome on the bumpers of my 06 Denali. That is what happens when you look at too many cars in a short period, and when you get old...you can't remember STUFF. Sorry about that...I should have said that I just like the grill so much better. Strangely one of the things I disliked the most about my 2002 Tahoe was the two rock dings on the front grill Chevy emblem (starred the clear plastic like a rock-chipped windshield). Unlike a windshield, it couldn't be fixed.   So far I love the Denali, though I have to get used to the AWD feeling which is very different than my 4wd Tahoe.   ciao, Marc

Replying to: sdron (Jan 11, 2006 2:40 pm) This is the 3rd GM product I bought with the "employee discount" that a family member qualified to receive. My wife's brother-in-law works for a GM related company that qualifies. As I understand it, his immediate family, and his wife's immediate family are entitled. The eligible person applies for a discount number code via the internet, and we just give this code to the dealership.   Sounds like your brother is getting lazy.   ciao, Marc
