Replying to: ahightower (May 16, 2006 7:15 am) I'd be happy with another 265x70-17 tire with a steel wheel. At least I could get some value out of the spare tire.

Replying to: tdoh (Feb 10, 2006 11:58 am) You're talking about saving 500-600 $/yr in fuel savings at today gasoline prices for the Honda vs. the Denali. The Denali is a $45,000 vehicle after discount & you're worried about $500? Buy the vehicle that you want and don't sweat the $500. By the way, buy major brand gasoline don't try to save $1.00/wk by buying the cheap crap. I make it, I know. Replies to this message: tdoh (May 23, 2006 10:35 am)

Replying to: ahightower (May 16, 2006 7:15 am) "...it has about the same circumference."   "About" is the operating word here; I dunno what size spare comes w/ the YXL, but on my DXL w/ OEM 265-70-17 tires, the OEM spare is--believe it or not--a 245-75-16...which is clearly smaller in circumference than the stock wheel. Dunno how well this would work out on an AWD vehicle if you had a flat, but that's the size of the OEM spare tire on my rig.

Replying to: tdoh (May 23, 2006 10:13 am) It's close enough to be safe until you can get the original repaired or replaced. I really don't see what the big deal is. Most passenger cars come with "donut" spares, and this is far better.

Replying to: cheapengineer (May 20, 2006 5:11 pm) I dunno where you got the impression that I was concerned about fuel costs in general, let alone worry about a $500 difference in fuel savings...
#3990 of 4070 Squeal or high pitched hum in 06 Denali XL? by neo6 May 28, 2006 (3:36 pm)
I have a 06 Denali XL with less than 2K miles. About two weeks after I took delivery, it started a high pitch hum that occurs either stationary or moving. The volume of the sound increases with more RPM. It is not from the audio as it happens with either A/C or radio shut off. Took it back to the dealer and of course - "technician cannot duplicate the problem". Any ideas? Amazing how the customer service level at GM goes to zero after you walk off the floor with a $55K vehicle..

#3991 of 4070 07 Denali Tow Package- Not? by clawson3 May 31, 2006 (7:37 am)
My boss got the 07 Denali with the tow package. But there is no hitch? How can you get the tow package without the receiver hitch? I told him it was probably hidden under that bubble plate/fascia, but he swears it is not there! Who is right? Is it under the fascia?

Replying to: neo6 (May 28, 2006 3:36 pm) I have a 2001 yukon xl as do my two kids. All of our yukons have a very high pitched hum just like yours. No one can hear it when I take it in. It is nerve racking. has anyone found out what it is? Replies to this message: ron burgundy (Sep 16, 2006 1:09 pm)
#3993 of 4070 Spare Tire by yuke Jun 04, 2006 (5:53 am)
Actually there is a 1 inch difference in the circumference. Not a biggie. Me, if I had a rear flat I would put the spare on the front, front to the rear flat. Just so as not to cause any rear end damage.(2WD, I'm speaking of)   I will agree, a 50K $$$ vehicle should never be having the problems we experience. Should be just oil changes for the first 50,000 miles. No skimping in the areas of motor, tranny, brakes, rotors, tires, tie rods, shocks, A/C, hoses, radiator, steering shaft, light assemblies, bulbs, exhaust, heater cores. Just put an extra grand into better components.   Here's a tire size calculator:   link title

Replying to: clawson3 (May 31, 2006 7:37 am) If you look under the "bubble" fascia, there are two little knobs that when turned 45 degrees, will release the fascia.   The hitch assembly is quite ugly, so when not towing, I put the cover back on.
