#3098 of 3260 Camera Lens Location by quickdropmarc Apr 11, 2006 (1:49 pm)
brjohnson, I noticed today at the GMC dealer that the 2007 Yukon's rear camera lens is located above the license plate to improve the rear view. I wonder if this is a better location than the aftermarket model you told me about that is located just above the hitch receiver? Mounting high may improve vision to the rear when backing your empty boat trailer down the ramp, but I wonder if it is possible to see your hitch when trying to hook-up your trailer.   The lower mounting location of the aftermarket version may be better for lining up your hitch, but I wonder if the low angle decreases your rear view when backing down a ramp (or improves it?), and I also wonder if this location is smart in that if you aren't paying attention could the hitch on the trailer tongue hit the camera lens and break it? Any thoughts (we really need someone who has a rear camera chime in here with some first hand experience)!   ciao, Marc Replies to this message: tdoh (Apr 26, 2006 11:24 am)

Replying to: tyarbro (Jan 12, 2006 1:43 pm) Dude,  Did you ever get this problem fixed? If yes, what was it? I have the same problem with my 2003 Denali. I've traced it to the rear airconditioning fan which is never turning off. It runs very slowly once the vehicle is cut off. This draws ~1 amp, which kills the battery in a day of sitting without being started. I believe the problem is a relay that is not turning power off when the truck is off. Any help would be appreciated. Replies to this message: pewtercoupe (Apr 24, 2006 5:58 pm)

Has anyone replaced the factory tires with Bridgestone Dueler Alenza H/P factory size P265 70 17 ? I want to replace asap can anyone suggest std size replacements with good wearability and moderate price range $125-150/tire that maintain or improve the mpg?

Replying to: denalidad (Apr 13, 2006 2:41 pm) Check out the Michelin LTX or for a little more the Crossterrains. The Crossterrains have a little higher wear rating. Replies to this message: denalidad (Apr 14, 2006 5:48 am) wlbrown9 (Apr 14, 2006 6:05 am) obyone (Apr 16, 2006 8:43 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Apr 13, 2006 3:24 pm) thank you for the info, are the crossterrrains an agressive tread pattern that may introduce noise at highway speed? As most AWD owners are these days my vehicle never has and never will see any offroad driving and the need for agressive tread is not worth the noise. A highway tread is more than adequate as the Good Year Wrangler HP that were OEM have adequate traction in snow and wet road conditions and have great tread life. Any other comments or suggestions are welcomed. Thanks again. Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Apr 14, 2006 6:05 am) obyone (Apr 16, 2006 8:43 pm)

Replying to: denalidad (Apr 14, 2006 5:48 am) The Crossterrains that came on my Envoy XL are more of a highway tread...less agressive than the LTX. Quiet and smooth after 30K miles. I have a version of the LTX (Select LT that were available through Wal-Mart) that have over 50K miles...still going strong, pretty smooth...they are on my '00 Trooper. A little more agressive tread..but still pretty good. Depending on the size you should be able to pick up the LTX for less esp. if you can shop at Costco or Sams Club.

Replying to: denalidad (Apr 14, 2006 5:48 am) The LTX comes in three different flavors. A/S, M/S, and A/T. The M/S was what I was describing. Here's a link on the M/S.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=LTX+M%2FS   The Crossterrain SUV doesn't have an aggressive pattern which would contribute to road noise. Actually, it was rated superior in ride comfort and noise comfort.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Cross+Terrai- n+SUV   good luck

Replying to: quickdropmarc (Apr 10, 2006 2:37 pm) Couple thoughts... The other camera is also at JP Customs...it is the piece that comes with a round billet aluminum mount (can be painted black) and mounts in the same location, just not with the bracket cover which is a cleaner look.   As far as the view, if you get on their website, you can find a pic of a monitor mounted up near the rearview that is a picture of the view you get with this lower location. It appears to be wide-angle enough to work just fine.   I thought about a higher mounting location, but do not want to drill out my rear door, and the other alternative was the license plate frame cams you can get. Concern there was it is more visible and potentially more likely to be swiped by someone.   I think the lower mount is where to start, if that does not work, I will likely drill out on the left side of the license plate as you are looking at the rear of the vehicle. There is already the key cover for the spare on the right, this may balance it out a bit.   Still have not committed to the $$$ though, but hooked up the boat the other day and got in and out of the truck at least 9x trying to make sure I did not mess up my rear bumper...has to be a better way!
#3107 of 3260 Re: DEAD BATTERY! Case Closed [pewtercoupe] by pewtercoupe Apr 24, 2006 (5:58 pm)
Replying to: pewtercoupe (Apr 11, 2006 4:47 pm) For those of you out there that my have a problem with your Denali's battery dying after sitting a day or longer here's what I found the problem to be. The rear blower control module (pn#93803634)went bad. The module regulated the fan speed correctly while the truck was on but failed to turn off the fan when the ignition was off. This part is located on the right inside (passenger side) at the rear behind the inside panel cover. The part looks like a pack of cigarettes with two wires that go to a connecter that plugs into the fan. This is a $100 part.
