#10 of 779 noises after car shuts off by jdtv0316 Jul 22, 2003 (4:27 pm)
Just bought a 2003 Denali XL after trading in a 2002 Yukon. Since buying the car we have been hearing a cracking and popping noise from the car after shutting of the engine (and also while at idle). The service manager tells us this is "normal for these cars". Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?

I'd be skeptical they didn't damage the sensor when they rotated the tires... funny how it cropped up so shortly after. If you had another GM dealer in the area, I'd be tempted to see what they would say.

Here is what the service tech told me on the flush: It is recommended to flush the tranny every 30,000; and differentials / t-case every 30-40000. When it comes to maintance for vehicles', GM is our worst enemy, with respects to the owner's manual. GM prints the bare minimum for maint, with hopes your vehicle will wear out and you will need to replace it. As I truck owner who had to replace a front diff. to the tune of $2,000, I personally recommended every 30-40000 on those flushes. I waited until 65,000 by then the damage was done; mainly from the metal particulate that came from the break-in period when it was new. This is my first truck, so I haven't been down this road before. I guess it makes sense.
#13 of 779 Differential flushing, ctd. by avolvofan Jul 23, 2003 (9:57 am)
I flush everything involved with lubrication (engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, etc.) after the first 3,000 miles. (Do a complete fluid exchange, not just drain and refill. If a filter is involved, replace it as well.) You really do need to get rid of the metal particles that are thrown off during break-in - if not, they will come back to haunt you.
#14 of 779 00 Rear door system weatherstripping by scottinssmd Jul 27, 2003 (6:09 pm)
Our rear storage area is soaking wet after the rains here in DC. Nothing was left open, and the weatherstripping appears in tact. Would replacing the rubber and silicone to the frame be a wise idea? As a home builder, I am all for silicone for water troubled areas but am leary of doing the same to my vehicle.   Yes, I checked the rear AC. I have kept the back trim panels out for a month. IMO I think its the rubber gasket. Any suggestions or cautions?
#15 of 779 00 Denali, weatherstripping by scottinssmd Aug 12, 2003 (1:49 pm)
I siliconed the rear door weatherstripping, and it worked. I was careful not to allow water to get trapped in the bottom. Less expensive than purchasing a new seal. Only 2.95 for the 100% waterproof tube.
#16 of 779 Denali is the way to go by dietoself Aug 12, 2003 (7:06 pm)
This is a problem board and maybe you are here trying to decide about getting the Denali. My 2003 is a sweet ride. This is after driving the Lexua LX 470, Escalade, Seqouia, LandCruiser.
#17 of 779 odor removal by orwoody Aug 22, 2003 (8:10 pm)
Well, I have a small odor problem. I am hoping one of the readers has a great suggestion for removing the smell of gasoline from carpet. My wife borrowed my Denali to run a few errands while I was on a business trip. She had to get some gasoline for the generator. After the can was filled she just set it in the back of the D and drove home. Needless to say, it fell over and a small amount leaked out onto the carpeted area. She cleaned and scrubbed and used the Bissell upholstery cleaning machine on it. When I got back I soaked it with Frebreeze. There is still an odor, thank goodness not too strong, but it's there. Any good ideas on what might absorb or cancel the odor. (and no I won't hang the little pine trees all around the inside)
#18 of 779 AtmosKlear by swschrad Aug 22, 2003 (10:54 pm)
you are going to have to get the area cleaned up down to the backing, but the Bissell should have done that. spray AtmosKlear to a wet coat and brush it in. that will do it if anything will. findable at www.atmosklear.com, GM parts counters, or Ace Hardware.
#19 of 779 Thanks swschard by orwoody Aug 23, 2003 (4:04 pm)
I'll try the AtmosKlear. I would have removed the carpet, but it is tacked down around the 3rd seat hinges and under the side moldings - a major under taking.
