#4009 of 4070 Re: rear window hinge [nlare] by pjreilly Aug 25, 2006 (7:37 am)
Replying to: nlare (Aug 24, 2006 4:30 pm) I went to Home Depot and got the strongest 2 part epoxy I could find, and took the entire window off the vehicle. I had to remove some of the previous bonding material to make the window hinge fit flush like it was originally. I then applied the epoxy all over the entire hinge. It set up and dried within 1 hour, and I reinstalled the window, and have not had any trouble since (knock on wood). 1 Tip dont try to reinstall the window yourself, get someone to help you it makes it much easier. I was unfortunately by my self that day and into the early evening. But with a little luck I got it. Hope this helps

#4011 of 4070 We need your help! by tidester HOST Oct 15, 2006 (10:24 pm)
Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings.   To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.   You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.   To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!   Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
#4012 of 4070 Ignorance might well be bliss by edlegue Nov 22, 2006 (8:53 am)
I recently bought a 2004 Yukon XL SLT with 17,900 miles. I think I got a pretty good deal on it but I am concerned with the mileage:engine hours ratio. At 17,900 the engine hours read 744, which gives you an average of 24 MPH. I don't know if there is such a thing as and national average but 24 MHP seems pretty low. The deal went fairly easy and the car was priced at least a couple thousand less than others with comparable stats. I know it's tough to screw with the odometer but something bugs me about this car. Runs good, smells good and I love the vehicle. I suppose that if I didn't have the hour meter it would not have occurred to me. Any comments please.

Replying to: edlegue (Nov 22, 2006 8:53 am) Sounds reasonable, if the previous owner had a lousy commute. I bet my average is not much higher on weekdays. You really can never know, they may have idled in park for long periods. A lot of men sit in the car with the AC running while waiting for their wife to come out of a store. And the school down the road from me has so many moms waiting in their cars, I guess nobody rides the bus any more. They start lining up a good 30 minutes early and sit there with the engine idling until school lets out.   It's logical that stop and go, slow driving, is tougher on the vehicle than all highway miles. But a 2004 with only 17,900 seems fairly low to me actually. I wouldn't worry about it. There's a risk you take with any used car, but the money savings probably more than outweighs it.
#4014 of 4070 differential work - switching to 4.10 rear end? by rainbud66 Nov 26, 2006 (7:52 pm)
I have a 2001 Yukon XL 4wd w/ a 3.73 rear end. The rear end has some noise and the dealer told me it's likely the ring and pinion gear needs replacing. The car goes into the dealer this week. Since the rear end needs to be rebuilt could I switch to a 4.10 rear end? Would I have to do something to the front end differential since it's a 4wd?   thanks in advance for any advice
#4015 of 4070 Re: Denali [heatwave3] by bremerbuttjer Dec 16, 2006 (4:41 pm)
Replying to: heatwave3 (Nov 10, 2000 1:53 am) Hi there I am new here as well.. the trim is supposed to be wood and it says "Black Cherry Woodgrain" imdeed. There is a company that actually makes after market manufacturer matching trim for the Yukon XL Denali www.sherwooddash.com   I also have my own problem which I hope someone can help me with.. I own a 2004 Yukon XL Denali with the same color trim as described above. Now, on the ashtray cover and cupholder cover, silverish mat finish just started to peel off..I can actually wipe it away with a damp cloth. I was told that this is a common problem that is also evident in Hummers. It seems to me that this is a manufactuerers defect and there should be a recall ?? Does anyone have further information regarding this or know how to fix it ?   thanks !!
#4016 of 4070 2001 Denali burning oil badly by rer Jan 04, 2007 (11:09 am)
I own a 2001 Denali with 58,000 miles. It was always well maintained with oil changes every 3,000 miles. It started using oil at about 50,000 miles using a quart of oil between oil changes. It has now progressed to using a quart of oil every 500 miles. No leaks are present. GM suggests that this may be "normal" for an engine with that amount of milage. I find it unbeliveable! I paid a world class price for the vehicle, I expect a lot better performance that this. I've owned many GM vehicles going back to the '60s. The Denali is the absolute worst. If this is the best GM can do, they deserve to go out of business. Certainly, my GM owning days will soon be behind me.
#4017 of 4070 Squeaking sound near rear tires/axel by jjobev Jan 06, 2007 (6:31 am)
I have a 2002 Yukon XL with appox 50K miles. When ever I go over bumps I hear a squeaking sound. I had a 2000 yukon xl that made a similar sound. The 2002 model did not always make the sound. The dealer said they could not locate the cause of the problem and I did not press them very hard on it. I sometimes also hear the sound as soon as I take my foot off the breaks (for instance at a stop sign). Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I also have BF Goodrich All Terrain tires. Since I have had the problem on two vehicles, I would imagine it has to be fairly common. Thanks
#4018 of 4070 Trying to lower my 2006 Denali Yukon XL with Air Ride by eside61 Jan 07, 2007 (11:24 am)
I recently bought a 2006 Yukon Denali XL with Air Ride Suspension. I took it to a Les Schwab shop that does tires and Lowering. They used an H & R Lowering kit which consisted of torsion keyes, dropped springs etc. Truck looks cool but they couldnt lower the rear anymore. Its supposed to be a 3 inch drop. Then I did some research on lowering kits. SOme sites recommended that I should replace the premium shocks with standards. Then I called another shop and the tech guy said that most likely the job wasnt done right and the sensors need to be repositioned. He said if I change the shocks and the truck drops, the sensors are going to tell the computer to lift, and the compressors are going to be on all the time. I need help to what I need to do. I called the shop where I got the work done and they said its normal which I think is a lie. Has anyone dealt with this before? What can I do??????
