Replying to: tourguide (Sep 01, 2005 4:01 pm) As I read of your diaappointment, I was compelled to reply.Even though your statemnts were made in Sept. 05, long before the actual release of the various GMT900 SUVs, I felt a few more comments to your statements were in order. As the previous owner of 2 V8 Tundra 4 x 4s and now the own of a 2007 GMC Yukon, I am totally impressed with the GM fuel economy vs the Tundra fuel economy. Over 6 years of Tundra ownership, I averaged +/- 14.5mpg in all conditions.Currently, I am averaging 16.1 MPG with the 5.3 Yukon after 3000 miles. I am averaging 23.4 with my GM 5.7L Corvette. I never averaged that high with my V6 Camry! Yes, reliability and resale may be other topics for debate, but time will tell. GM has improved, Toyota is flat. |

Replying to: dettltz (Jun 13, 2006 7:59 pm) The 4.8 is the "econo" engine, available in 2wd LS versions. The Denali will remain with the 6.2, and the Suburban 2500 will have the 6.0. |

Replying to: dettltz (May 27, 2006 9:22 am) Next time, you exit the vehicle, have your windows down and lock up your truck. Then listen to the noise from the outside after 5-10 minutes. GM vehicles used to have option that let you listen to radio even with ignition key is out as long as you still in the vehicle. Now if you are out of the vehicle, everything should shut down gradually after some minutes to save battery. If the DVD keeps on spinning all the time, the longevity of the battery will be affected. jt |

Replying to: tdoh (Jun 13, 2006 11:36 am) Back to the Tahoe 15/21mpg 320hp 340ft-lbs Other 4x4 with standard engines Toyota Sequoia 15/17mpg 273hp 314 ft-lbs Nissan Armada 13/18mpg 305hp 385 ft-lbs Ford Expedition 14/18mpg 300hp 365 ft-lbs The Sequoia's tow rating is 2000lbs lighter than all the others. I'd give up the 30ish ft-lbs of torque for the extra 3 or 4 mpg. If you need your exra HP and torque well the Denali should do it then...13/19mpg and 380hp 417 ft-lbs. Highway mpg still better than the competition. |

| Has anyone experienced a situation where their 2003 (or other similar year/mileage) Yukon had the front differential need to be replaced, along with the front wheel bearings at 85,000 mi? This just recently took us by surprise after buying it used with no known defects and a clean maintenance record (corporate fleet). The dealer tells us that we need to replace the diff. and at least one wheel bearing....$2100!.....This isn't an AWD Yukon, just 4 WD on demand. Any thoughts? Any cheaper solutions? Any warranty? Would love to hear some ideas and comments. | |

I noticed today that, I think just when the lights are on and the interior is illuminated, that the knob to switch between 2WD, Auto and 4WD was really hot. Anyone notice this? Loving my Tahoe. 550 miles and it's great. Getting just over 16 MPG in mixed driving. I know that'll improve a little more.
