#1957 of 4076 3/4 ton Sub/Yukon XL by heatwave3 Jan 03, 2002 (4:31 pm)
ftldiver: I don't really think you'll find much difference between the two choices other than the aesthetics of the front end grill/headlight assemblies and a few interior "touches". The prices should be relatively comparable if you are comparing equally outfitted vehicles.   I do think however since you have decided on the 3/4 ton chassis that you might want to consider the 8.0L engine instead of the 6.0L. Nothing wrong with the 6.0L and in fact its a tremendous engine. I own a Denali XL (which comes standard with the 6.0L) and love the pulling power but I prefer the comfort of the 1/2 ton chassis.   I've owned two previous 3/4 ton Subs before the DXL and chose the largest power available with 4wd.   Given your needs for heavy towing, I would go with the max power available which would be the 340hp and 455ftlbs of torque with a 12,000lb tow rating. There is nothing rated higher and if heavy towing is the requirement, nothing with 4 tires can match the towing capabilities of a 3/4 ton Sub or Yukon XL with the 8.0L engine.
#1958 of 4076 Denali Bumper Covers for Yukon XL - ??? by mikeki Jan 03, 2002 (5:43 pm)
Hi All - New to the board as I'm getting ready to purchase a 2002 XL - Black. I was looking at the Denali also but can't justify all that extra $$$. I do howerver like the bumper covers that come on the Denali that match the truck. Any info on if you can purchase these and where. I have seen some Yukons that had the bumpers painted but wanted to see if there was an easier way.   Thanks Mike

#1960 of 4076 Yukon XL Lifter Noise by chloeann Jan 04, 2002 (2:33 pm)
I have a 2001 Yukon XL 3/4 ton with the 6.0L engine. When I start the engine in the morning there seems to be alot of lifter noise. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this or is not a problem.   Mark
#1961 of 4076 6.0L engine noise by heatwave3 Jan 04, 2002 (2:37 pm)
chloeann: I have the 6.0L in a 2001 Denali XL and have had no lifter noise even from the moment of startup on some of our recent mornings in the high teens. I know that doesn't help much however I have not seen anyy other lifter noise issues regarding this engine. What weight oil are you using and how cold has it been?   If the oil is too heavy a grade on a very cold morning there will be limited oil reaching the heads and lifters until the oil "thins" out from heating.
#1962 of 4076 Taking the Plunge! by sgj55 Jan 04, 2002 (7:29 pm)
OK! I'm ready to join the ranks of Sub/Yukon XL owners. I'm going down on Monday to order a new 2500 Yukon XL, God willing. This is the deal I was offered: Invoice, plus $500, plus .5% advertising fee.   I need answers! And I know you guys have them!   How long for a truck to be delivered from the time of order? Is it possible it could be here within 8 weeks; want to get the $2,000 incentive.   How can I check progress on the production of my truck? And the shipping?   Is there anything I should be asking the dealer or having him do to stay on top of things and speed things up?   What about restrictions?   Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.   Stan the Car-buyin' Man (my daughter's weird sense of humor)
#1963 of 4076 Large Gas Tank by jgmilberg Jan 04, 2002 (10:28 pm)
The 3/4 ton models have a 38.5 gallon tank, actually it's 2 tanks the regular 31 gallon tank and an auxiliary tank with a pump to transfer the fuel from one tank to the other. As of yet I have yet to see a retro fit kit for the 1/2 ton model.
#1964 of 4076 Ordering by jgmilberg Jan 04, 2002 (10:44 pm)
I hate to rain on the parade but it took me 5 months to get my 2500 YXL. I ordered in October delivered in March. You may get lucky and it will get preferenced right into production. If you really need the 3/4 ton it's worth the wait, TRUST me!!! If you really want to try to speed up the deal have the dealer do a search of the area where you live and see about a dealer trade. You might get lucky!! I always say don't waver on what you want because you will never be happy with the it in the end. So get EXACTLY what you want!! I would only change the color on mine if they could find one, but no luck and I couldn't be happier with what I ordered.   The dealership can give you all the information on where your order is in the build process. Once it gets a build date assigned to it, it usually takes 3-5 days for assembly/testing. From there it depends on where you are in relation to the plant the truck is built at. Mine was built in Mexico and it took 1 week to get to Detroit,MI. Somewhere in this topic someone posted a way to track your vehicle on the railroad using the vin #.   The dealer sales manager gets a list of thing on restrictions, so if you are concerned about that ask him about it. Remember the list is a weekly list and what's on this week might not be on next week, and vice versa. I had problems with the rims, and liftgate.
#1965 of 4076 Welcome to the club! by heatwave3 Jan 05, 2002 (8:29 am)
sgj55: Welcome aboard. Having owned two previous 3/4 ton Subs and now the owner of a Denali XL, I think you will be particularly pleased. I assume you tow a heavy package since you bought a 3/4 ton. What motor did you get?   Sounds like you got a fair deal. My DXL took about 4 months from the close of the deal to delivery but that was at the launch of the Denalis. The distribution system has likely caught up with demand and should result in a much shorter delivery time. Eight weeks seems possible.
