Weak brakes on 2008 Yukon XL Denali by skytop1

Anyone have any good advice for better brake pads for my 2008 Yukon XL Denali?
Braking can be best described as weak. I will be towing a 3000# boat in about 3 weeks on vacation and I want to upgrade to better pads with better grip so I can stop this sloppy driving SUV before plowing into the car in front of me. Thanks.

In that 4-5 months, how many miles have you driven before having to replace the pads and rotors?
 
In my opinion there are several possible reasons, assuming in the 4-5 months of time you have only driven a few thousand miles (say ~6K to 7K):
1. Have been using bargain pads and rotors... ???
2. Caliper Pins/Slides were not properly (or not at all) lubricated, which caused the pads to stick to the rotors.
3. Have been using old/rusted brake pad retainers, could potentially cause the pads to stick too...
4. Bad caliper or caliper piston, does not release/retract properly even when the brake paddle is off.
5. I assume it not the ABS or the Master Cylinder, as you mentioned the front brakes are just fine...
 
Hope you find the real cause of this problem soon.

Sorry, I only can speak for the 2007 model, hopefully its similar to your 2004 Yukon. Each heated seat has a Climate Control Seat Module, operates with seat back and seat cushion temperature sensors. In this case from reading your post "...the drivers side heated seat they come on and go off automatically...", I was not sure if the seat gets to heat-up at all, or it just turns itself off immediately after you turned it on?
 
If it turns off immediately after you turned it on, then there may be an over load to the Heated Seat Element, perhaps an electrical short of some kind...? Once in a long long while, it could be related to a faulty Heated Seat Switch... If the seat does get to heat up, but only stayed on for a short time, then there may be an issue with the temperature sensor, or may be the Climate Control Seat Module itself is faulty... A lot of guesses here, I hope your dealer knows better to check all these components at the least. Best Wish!

loud ticking by kdemello

I have a 2000 Denali and it has started making a terrible ticking noise. When I start the rig it is much louder and more intense but then it seems to settle down and find a steady grove of ticking. Does anyone know what this could be caused by and how much its going to cost me to fix it? Is this a common problem with Denali's?

My 2003 has a ticking sound like that of a clock pendulum that recently started as well. I have been searching high and low to find its origin. I know it sounds like it's in the dash somewhere but am having a very hard time finding it. HELP please.

I found that the issue of whistling came from the hands free phone/onstar mic above head. On mine, there was a ground loop that was found ultimately to be caused by a poorly grounded negative battery cable(to the engine) and loose/stripped negative battery pole bolts.

I have a 02 Denali. The only problem I have had in my 93xxx miles is that the seat heaters no longer work (any of them).

Hi! Love my truck but just ran into a problem today. I have electric running boards. I left the lights on this afternoon and drained the battery. When I got things going again, the running boards do not operate. (In fact the the passenger side runnig board is stuck in the extended position and the driver's side running board is in the retracted position). The fuse is okay yet the button on the center consloe doesn't do anything. Any ideas??
