Just purchased 2003 Yukon XLSLT 4WD with 67K, my second... the first was a 2001 XL SLE 2WD purchased new. so this is a step up for me. Really wanted a Denali for the 6liter engine but it came down to the AWD which I did not like the ride feel for some reason. So new to the forum and wanted some opinions on a few issues. 1. Has anyone had an oil smell after driving the truck hard as in mod stop and go and highway traffic. Like when I am late picking up the kids. 2. Anyone willing to share experience with the cold air and/or exhaust kits would be helpful as I want to give this 5.3 some more low end and maybe help the gas milage. I know...I want my cake ! |

Replying to: rand01 (Dec 07, 2004 3:38 pm) My 03 YXL SLT plush package 4x4 has an occasional "humming" after going over mod speed bumps as I accelerate and I am wondering if rear end is indicating something. Bought used w/ 67k and although an extremely clean looking truck when I changed to the Gibson freeflow exhaust I was appalled at the condition of the underside of this truck. I did not suspect anything as it drove and stopped OK and the dealer assured me this was a truck they had sold and had just taken back in on trade..."has our pedigree" When the wheels wre off I checked the brakes and barely got some new pads on before the rotors would have been chewed up. Now it stops like new. The parking brake shoe just disintegrated in my hand.Is it the weight and size of these trucks that make them use more rear brakes atypically than other vehicles? So much for the vehicle having the dealer pedigree and passing their 127 point inspection. Why do they lie? The previous owner obviously lived on a farm in Georgia because its caked with mud. If intentional water ever was used I'd be surprised. I was just keeping my finger crossed and now the SIHTF. 1. Speedo now dead. Anybody had this happen 2. windows shuddder when you let them down on passenger side. 3. Factory CD player skips on everything you put in it(as I understand it these radios can't be replaced because they are coded to each vehicle[is this true? or can GM code another one]. 4. Homelink won't set to garage door opener. WHo says buying some type of warranty isn't good so hopefully Premier One will take care of these things. I am used to taking care of my vehicles not just for my piece of mind but because of resale and these are machines. I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round right. Any help appreciated |

I've had this car for 3 years with no problem. Today I go out to start the car and the ignition key will not turn. I also cannot move the gear shift. The internal lights work fine, the security system is working fine. If I turn on the headlight override I hear a beeping sound (?). I am at a loss as to what happened or what to do. The car worked perfect last night. Any help is much appreciated. I am NOT a car person just a woman in need of some 'simple' car advice. Thanks.

The Keyless Entry feature on my 2007 Yukon XL has quit working correctly. I've changed to the spare keyfob and made sure that the DIC was programmed to original factory settings. Neither tactic helped. The entrance door must be opened manually......but once inside, the keyfob will actuate the Keyless Entry system (it'll unlock or lock the doors). When I park the Yukon, the Keyfob will lock the doors as I leave......but will fail to unlock the doors if I'm gone for more than a minute or two. In other words, the system fails if I don't use the Keyfob for a minute or two. So long as I actuate the Keyfob every 15-seconds, it'll keep on working. Anybody got ideas?

Replying to: bigchuckwagon (Feb 08, 2008 3:30 pm) Does anyone know if I can get the factory radio to turn on an aftermarket amp. I want to add a subwoofer and have been told I can use a output control converter(line output converter) but what is going to turn on the amp. I have the Bose system so something must turn that amp om. |

Replying to: bigchuckwagon (Feb 08, 2008 3:30 pm) "Tech confirmed failure key fobs using recommendation doc 1861180 put system to sleep removed rcdlr reinstalled fuse retested all OK" I took this info to my dealer and they repaired it--working fine now. One oddity--the service desk person said that they fixed the problem by replacing the remote keyfob--said there were a bad batch of keyfobs and mine was one of those. I don't think this is the case as my other original keyfob is now working whereas it wasn't before the repair. I think the fix is a software configuration thing on the car itself and has nothing to do with the keyfobs--there may be other problems with certain batches of keyfobs, but it's not the cause of this particular issue. Good luck. |

2004 Yukon XL. There seems to be grinding in the rear of the vehicle. It is intermittent and often goes several weeks without surfacing. It usually happens at low speeds and etiher during the first few minutes after driving or after a long drive. This past week, the 4WD Check light has illuminated. Anyone out there with a similar scenario? thanks jt |
