#3160 of 3260 2004 Yukon SLT popping noise when turn by jennmw Oct 16, 2006 (7:59 am)
Replying to: butta (Jul 10, 2000 6:49 am) Wasn't sure where to post this but we just last week a 2004 Yukon. Love it! But, when you turn it sounds like there is a pop coming from the steering column. It does so more when you turn right than left. Anyone have this problem? I kind of noticed it when we test drove it but decided against getting looked at because for one it is still under manufacturer's warranty and we got an extended warranty that virtually covers everything so we took our chances.   Thanks!

Replying to: jennmw (Oct 16, 2006 7:59 am) Absolutely take it to the dealer. There is a known issue with noise in the steering column while turning.   Our '05 had the same noise, and they fixed it under waranty.   Welcome to the club!   --Tom

Replying to: jvigil (Jul 23, 2003 7:07 pm) Did you ever get your Denali fixed? If so, what was wrong with it? Mine did the same thing. Replies to this message: jennmw (Nov 27, 2006 6:52 am)

Replying to: jtallen (Nov 26, 2006 6:08 pm) I did take it in I guess it is a common problem with Yukons and Tahoes, etc. All they did was put a lube kit for $20 in the steering column, haven't had a problem since!
#3166 of 3260 2001 Yukon SLT 4x4 by gmhellman Dec 03, 2006 (3:19 pm)
A member of my church is interested in selling his 2001 Yukon SLT 4x4 Silver with factory running boards. The vehicle was used by his wife for her job of woking as a nurse in a community outreach program for under priviledged children. It has 97,000 highway miles on it and is in immaculate condition. He and his wife have bought diesel volkswagon jettas with all wheel drive. They have garaged it and driven it very rarely. (Too much money in gas.) They live far out of town. I am considering offering him 9500 for the vehicle. But, am concerned about any maintanace issues I might have with a Yukon in this year. He also said that they very rarely have put it into four wheel drive. Any help suggestions or hints would be helpful.   Thanksg Replies to this message: ahightower (Dec 04, 2006 7:49 am) gmhellman (Dec 04, 2006 8:55 pm)

Replying to: gmhellman (Dec 03, 2006 3:19 pm) "diesel volkswagon jettas with all wheel drive"   I'm not sure there is such a thing. There are AWD Passats, but not with the deisel. Might be wrong.   Anyway, your offer looks fair, a little low in fact, but you're taking a risk on a high mileage vehicle. If it did have problems, it might be awkward having to see your friend at church every week. But if he's cool with you having a mechanic look things over, and everyone agrees no warranty/buyer beware, then it could be a good move to buy from someone you know and trust.

Replying to: ahightower (Dec 04, 2006 7:49 am) I stand corrected his is a diesel passat and his wife has an awd gasoline passat. I did put my offer a little lower due to the fact that it is a high mileage vehicle and is due for a huge "overhaul" of maintanance on the engine and drivetrain at 100,000 miles. Plus I also am aware of intermediate shaft problems, rear diff problems and wheel bearing problems in the 2000-2004 gm full size 4x4 vehicles. I owned a 2002 Sierra that had the intermediate shaft and rear diff problems and my mechanic said that those were common place as the miles climbed. I officially haven't made an offer until I can sell my 99 Bonneville. We just have too much bad weather where we live and my family likes to camp and we tow a camping trailer with our minivan right now. I am just worried that we are going to overtax the drive train on a 97 T&C and end up with a 2000 dollar lump of crap for a minivan if I continue to use it in this fashion.

After talking with my local mechanic he said that if the vehicle is worth 11,500 and has 100,000 trouble free miles it shoudl be fine for another 100,000 more. That is if I get the 100,000 mile tune up and he even agreed to inspect the entire vehicle for free from bumper to bumper. He also said that if I was interested I should start out at 8500 for my bargaining price since these vehicles in that year were prone to bad wheel bearings at 100,000 miles and could have a couple of issues like alternator, battery, serpentine belt and wiper motor/relay. (These were the most common problems he has seen) He also said that he has 4 people that own 2001 and 2002 Yukon SLT that have over 100,000 miles and have had zero maintanace costs above the usual stuff (Tires, shocks, brakes) He even offered to give me their names if I would like to talk to them. Does this price sound realistic? I don't want to offend the seller since I know him, but I don't want to pay full price for a vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. Any input would be helpful.   Greg Replies to this message: ahightower (Dec 06, 2006 8:32 pm)
