The dealership may not have a paint sealant program - on the other hand you often won't be offered the product until you take delivery of the car and go through the finance process. If it is something you want then you should call ahead and have it done before you pick it up - to save time. (As well as any other accessories you would like to add - like the chrome assist steps, the rear fascia closeout is a GOOD one etc...)
 
I don't believe the paint is any worse - perhaps more environmentally friendly (chemically) from the information I read. Yet because of this there could be increased need to seal the paint from the environment by a replacement product.
 
If you didn't feel you had problems on the 2003 Yukon it was either because (a)the dealership seals all cars as they hit the lot and then offers the product in finance or aftermarket (least common situation except in certain dealerships that pre-load cars with double stickers on almost all the inventory) (b)you are very conscientious about removing bird poop, bugs, tree sap and water spots immediately or (c)you are not a person who particularly notices the imperfection of paint that is not meticulously cared for.
 
By the wasy - the color Yukon you chose will not tend to reveal as much problem as do some of the darker colors or white.
 
Still - I like to always seal my vehicles - partly because I prefer to be low maintenance on my vehicles, I am parked in the sun all day, and it just seems not to collect as much dirt when the paint pores are sealed. Plus I don't have to wax the car!

We sold our first -(only) Denali (black) Monday night. Customer just happened to be getting a trade appraised when the transport truck pulled in with it. It is a great looking truck! So far it's the only one we've received.

WHAT BUMPERS I SHOULD SAY!
 
I AM HOPING THAT THE NEW P/U LINE WILL NOT HAVE THESE FRONT AND REAR DO NOT TOUCH AT ANY TIME, [PLASTIC BUG SHIELDS] I MEAN BUMPERS ON THEM.
 
A REAL TRUCK OR SUV, NEEDS A BUMPER THAT CAN BE USED IN REAL LIFE SITUATIONS!

Are you sure it's the tranny. I'm willing to bet it is the air intake cover that you hear closing when the car's interior is cold.

I have no idea if the architecture of the 07 is differnent than the 06. Seems I've heard people complain the guts are little different and it's mostly new skin. Anyway, I have an 06 Z71 (2wd) with 4k+ miles. I've had all these phantom noises coming from under the car as well as a disturbing "clank" first thing in the morning when I put it into reverse and/or maybe after I get into the street and put it into "D". It's not a pretty noise and sounds like there's no lubricant in the transmission.
    It does it once and not again until the next morning. My dealer has been "stand-up" about it and has had it 4 times (over night) where the service advisor has been able to duplicate the noise (one time in the morning) but without luck finding the cause.
    Fortunately, my noise has moved into stage 2 with pops and clanks when braking, turning, and accelerating. Point is, they got it to do it all afternoon yesterday and located a support bracket in the rear-end that has a problem bushing.
    I'm due to get it back tommorow so I'll let you know. The service advisor found an unofficial TSB that fit the problem perfectly. He feels pretty confident about it.

Installing trailer hitch closeout by pocitelli

I ordered a rear trailer hitch closeout from GM and I am so very confused on how to install this thing. The instructions are a joke . I'm trying to figure out where exactly to mount the bracket. Anyone install one of these yet? Any recommendations would be great. Thanks.
 
My 2007 Tahoe: Black LT3 4x4, 20" rims, cashmere leather, DVD, power liftgate. This thing is so sweet. Exterior styling is a great evolution from an already great looking SUV. The interior, barring the hard plastic of the dash is now one of the nicest available, and it drives great.

Go back to post #657 & #658 .... That should help .. Note..the cutout on the bracket lines up with the cutout on the bumper .. the same as the template.

I don't think so because it is a loud clunk from under the car - toward the rear. In fact, the car even seems to move forward a small bit when it happens.

2007 Denali on EBAY by awf_axis

Here's some pretty good pics of the new Denali. Paste the link in.

I thought I saw a post saying that the headlights on the Denali would be HID. Looks like Halogen.
 
Funny that they would actually step backward. At least with the "lens" style of the previous Denalis, it kind of looked like an HID system.
