#16 of 26 Steering Wheel Wobble by DJAucutt Nov 28, 2008 (6:51 pm)
My 2004 Denali (36,000 mi., purely stock) has developed a wobble between 30 and 35 mph. I heard someone on the radio mention "death wobble" and did an internet search. I found the many Chevy Avelanches and certain Jeeps have a persistent wobble at highway speeds, with no clear cut solution. I found no postings for a low speed wobble. I notived my Goodyear Wranglers seem to have cracks forming in the tread grooves. Could the wobble be a tire defect? Replies to this message: oldorange (Oct 28, 2009 9:40 am)
#17 of 26 2002 Yukon XL Denali tire replacement by zigmon Mar 28, 2009 (10:56 pm)
Looking to replace the stock 265/70R17's on my 2002 DXL.   Would I be able to use a set of 285/70R17 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's without them rubbing? I'm still using the stock 17" rims.
#18 of 26 Rear wheel grinding? by nah20man Apr 25, 2009 (3:48 am)
I ahve a 2006 Yukon Xl purchased new. Since ownership, I have frequently had the "check tire pressure indicator" come on few a few minutes. After multiple times of checking tire pressures I have come to ignore it unless it stays on for over 10 miles or so, or if it repatedly comes on. Last week it was on everyday after the 2nd day checked tires and all were ok. It remained on, and again checked tires 2 days later to find one low. Filled to specks, now I have a "grinding sound" at that wheel when applying breaks. Suggestions??? Sorry for the long question. Many thanks. Replies to this message: rsht (Apr 28, 2009 5:15 am)

Replying to: nah20man (Apr 25, 2009 3:48 am) In regards to the check tire pressure indicator that comes and goes, a friend of mine had the same problem. We later found out, there were too much moisture in his tire and had to remove the tire to dry the inside... Problem solved.   Since you mentioned air leakage, (unless you picked-up a nail or something) make sure the valve core is tightened with the correct torque spec via a tool like the one shown in URL below: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?store=snapon-store&item_ID=78304&group_I- D=1668
#20 of 26 Need new tires by henriksen May 07, 2009 (7:38 am)
I have an '05 Yukon SLT and am ready to replace my tires and am wondering which tires you would recommend. I want a good all-terrain/weather tire. In the past I have always purchased Michelin. I drive mostly in town with kids, dogs, and all of their stuff. So I am looking for a good stop/start and quiet tire. What do you think.

Replying to: henriksen (May 07, 2009 7:38 am) GM had 2 tire sizes (265-70R-16 by Firestone Wilderness and 265-70R-17 Goodyear Wrangler) for that model year, I am not sure which one your's is equipped with... If you are happy with your OEM tires, you may consider staying with the same; however, if you really want to venture out for something different, there are websites available that can also help. Be sure the new tires you buy meet or exceed the ratings that are on your current OEM tire (Just as FYI, I had a very good experience with the Michelin LTX M/S in the past): http://www.tirerack.com http://www.discounttire.com
#22 of 26 Misc. Interior 2005 Yukon SLT Black/Black by henriksen May 12, 2009 (8:39 am)
Thanks for the advice on the tires. Now I have a question about a part that is starting to flake on the interior. The small panel that outlines the radio has started to flake and I have been told by the dealer that a replacement part would cost $100.00 (I have 40,000+ miles and an extended warranty which my husband cringes about everyday - hey I had a head injury when I got the car, I kick myself too, believe me) and I have noticed that several buttons on the radio itself have begun to wear off (white is showing through) - I haven't even ventured to ask what the cost would be to replace the radio. Do you have any suggestions on where I could buy the panel part cheaper, do junk yards exist any more? And can I paint those buttons? I know that these are minor items but they are driving me nuts, especially since the incentives and warranties that they are offering now would mean a replacement for me gratis. I wonder about them taking care of existing customers (I've had the Envoy, Envoy XL, and now the Yukon - and someday would love to own the Yukon XL). Anyway, I appreciate your words of wisdom Thanks Replies to this message: rsht (May 12, 2009 1:34 pm)

Replying to: henriksen (May 12, 2009 8:39 am) Have you thought about Dash kit? See attached URL below for example? http://www.wooddash.com/category/GMC_Dash_Kits   http://www.stylintrucks.com/sn.aspx?category|category_root|-1=Interior&category|- - - cat_-1|356=Dash+Kits+%26+Accessories&canned_results_trigger=   Junk year is definitely an option, but you may have to check what's available in your local area through the Yellow Page under Used Auto Parts or Auto Salvage...   Spray painting over them, hmmm, sounds like the most inexpensive way to go, but there may be quite a bit of surface prep work, and eventually the paint may wear off again... You may want to contact Dupli-Color, let them know your situation and see what product they can suggest for this purpose that will last... http://www.duplicolor.com/index.html   Lastly, instead of going through your dealership, have you checked those online GM parts stores, like the GMC Parts Direct... Before you do, you may want to call your dealer for those part numbers, so you can use those numbers for your search at the online stores for the exact part for your vehicle. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com http://gmaccessoriesstore.com/2005-yukon-c-268_294_311.html?page=4&sort=2a

Replying to: henriksen (May 07, 2009 7:38 am) Im also looking for replacement tires for my 07 Yukon Denali. I need 275/55/20 and I have been searching the internet for costs and calling local tire shops. Still I just want to get the best deal possible. Does anyone know if an Alignment is manditory when getting your tires replaced? I had NTB tell me it was, and I dont want to pay 79.95 if its not needed. And I still haven't found the best tires, there's so many to chose from, any advise. Replies to this message: rsht (Oct 25, 2009 5:55 am)

Replying to: mcoleman08 (Oct 22, 2009 9:57 am) Not sure if you have heard/tried the TireRack.com and the DiscountTire.com for your research? See links below...   As far as wheel alignment, assuming you are staying with the exact same sized tires as before then its not required; but a good idea to have the alignment checked or have it done if you have not had the wheels aligned before. With so many sub-par alignment shops/mechanics and/or the lack of routine alignment machine calibration, some times may be better off just to leave the alignment alone if your current tires are not showing any irregular wear... if that is the case, I would just keep a close eye on the new tires, if there is any sign of uneven wear, then I will take the car in for an alignment, My 2 cents. Good luck!   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=1&autoMake=GMC&aut- oYear=2007&autoModel=Yukon+Denali&autoModClar=&width=275/&ratio=55&diameter=20&s- ortCode=60062&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=S&minLoadRating=S&tab=All   http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/toggleShowingAllTireProducts.do?fcpr=&c=3&rcz=6- 0560&ar=55&fcsr=&rf=true&fcs=false&rd=20&ct=null&rc=ILCINT&cs=275&dVeh=dVeh&yr=2- 007&fclr=&cf=false&vid=010279&fcb=&sw=false
