#645 of 779 2007 Yukon Denali by jdunkas Jul 09, 2008 (5:33 pm)
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??
#646 of 779 Steering Wheel Vibration by jallard Jul 09, 2008 (7:10 pm)
Have a new 2008 Denali w/the 20 inch wheels. As soon I got on the highway noticed a vibration in the steering wheel starting at 55 and getting worse as speed increased. Especially annoying after 65mph. Steering wheel shakes and passengers can feel it. Had 2 front wheels balanced but did not fix the issue. Then had all 4 tires balanced an again did not fix the issue. Now have 2000 miles and am ready to take to dealer but am not looking forward to it. Any idea what may be causing this? Bad rotors, bad shocks, suspension, etc. Is it a known problem that others are having? Any info would help me so when I do take it to dealer I can speak intelligently!

#647 of 779 Tire Pressure by jallard Jul 09, 2008 (7:16 pm)
Have a new 2008 Denali with 20 inch rims. On the door jam, it says to inflate tires to 32 psi for this size. On tires it says 40psi. Which is correct. I was told 40 psi so the tires wouldn't cup. Am confused. Wondering if over inflating by 8 psi per tire can cause tire vibration.

Replying to: jallard (Jul 09, 2008 7:16 pm) 40 is probably the maximum psi for the tire. That doesn't mean you should set it to 40, it just means that's the most it could handle. I typically go with the door jamb recommendation, plus 2-3 psi for slightly better mpg (lower rolling resistance at higher psi). It results in a slightly firmer ride, but still very acceptable. Perhaps slight cupping will result, but I haven't had any problems with that in any of my last four vehicles. I have 17"s, so you'll want to experiment for yourself with your 20"s. Set it to 32, and track your mileage for a month or so. Then go up to say 35 and see if you notice any deterioration in ride quality or significant increase in fuel economy.

Replying to: jallard (Jul 09, 2008 7:16 pm) Does the sticker on the door jam references the 32 psi with the 20" tire size? If it does, then the 32 psi is the minimum cold tire pressure you want to set at. I agree with ahightower to set the pressure a couple of psi higher than what's suggested on the sticker to gain a little on the mpg. Ultimately, you'll have to find your comfort zone by observing and adjusting the tire pressure you desire between 32 to less than 40 psi.

Replying to: kendog2 (May 14, 2008 10:57 am) Please forgive me if this was too obvious a reply but it took a while, at least for me to learn this: for assuring that the rear doors unlock the keyless button is pressed twice. One press opens the driver's door. The second consecutive press on the button opens the remaining doors..... ....

Replying to: 3babies (Oct 02, 2006 4:29 pm) What was the final resolution to your problem? I have an 02 Denali and just started to have the same problem with the lowbeams not working. They were fine until I switched to highbeams, then when I switched back the lowbeams didn't work. I ended up using the fog lamps to get home. I had changed the bulbs a couple of months ago and they were still good. Not sure what to do next and definitely don't want to go to the dealer for this. It's like an invitation to get raked over the coals! Replies to this message: rigatoni (Nov 03, 2008 4:29 pm)
#652 of 779 1999 Denali Service by ted5151 Aug 08, 2008 (5:41 pm)
My Denali is a 1999 with a 5.7 liter, and 120,000 miles.   The intake manifold gasket (LOWER) needs to be replaced , as I am leaking anti freeze, and have slight concern it will get into oil.   I check oil level 3 times a week, but it does not show level increasing.   The GM dealer has provide a quote to fix lower intake gasket, but also mentioned valve cover gaskets, in checking with GM parts department, they show bolts to intake manifold can be reached without taking off valve covers.   My questions are: Can intake manifold be taken of without removing valve covers?                               Should I have any concerns due to age 10 years, that other parts, will be broken or damaged, with this service job.   There sure is a lot of hoses and tubes, in the way of intake access.   Thanks in advance for all replys.   The Denali is due to go in for this service on Monday Aug 11/08, so a quick reply would ba appriecated

Replying to: jallard (Jul 09, 2008 7:16 pm) 40 psi is the max that the tire can handle 32 psi gets a good ride
#654 of 779 Yukon XL idle problem by bamandotis Aug 24, 2008 (5:26 pm)
I have a 2005 Yukon XL that is making a whining noise as you accelerate and the oil pressure gauge jumps up as well. Dealer has had twice and can't fix. Any suggestions
