GMC bitch. Engineers that designed this Yukon Denali with 6.2 never turned a wrench or know what one is.

Theyre a reason I keep it.

You are aware that sometime in the past, a mechanic ran off with an engineer's wife. The engineers have been getting even ever since.

Don’t forget about the ****ty weld on the top corner of ALL 2014 ac condensers.

I like 07 and prior gm 5.3’s only, anything after is pure trash.
Not much on the market that’s better, but I take my chances with ford. I’d rather pull the front cover and deal with phaser/tensioner problems on overhead cams rather than have to pull both heads and the front cover for cam/lifter problems on the gm and dodge v8’s.

My .02

Forgot that one!

I drove an 03 Avalanch until 2019. Bought a customers 2011 Avalanche and soon regretted letting my 03 go. Got a 2018 F150 in 2022 and have not looked back!

Bought my last GM product in 1997. Won't buy another

My Mom had an 06 Avalanche, ran it to 160k, sold it to one of my buddy's when she quit driving, it has well over 200k and minimal repair costs.

Still rides better than a Cadillac......

Oh Toyota what you do for me! My Tundra requires gas, tires and oil and that's about it.

You must not have a newer one then.

Oil pressure sensor unit located all the way to the rear of the engine up against the firewall behind a useless plastic shield. It sits about 6 inches down on top behind a bunch of hoses.

Cam shaft sensor is located behind the crank shaft pulley that you have to pull off to get to it.

Crank shaft sensor is located directly behind the starter that you must remove to get to the sensor.

No fuel pump relay or fuse. This truck has a Fuel System Control Module located under the back of the truck under the spare tire. You must remove the spare tire to get to it and that is where you jumper out the pump to empty your fuel tank.

No access panel located under the rear seat to make it easy to change the fuel pump. You must empty the tank and then drop the tank to change either the fuel pump or the sensor.

2007 to 2014 plastic dash all cracked. You have to replace the $1000 plastic dash with no guarantee it won't crack or place a cap over the top for about $200.

Oil filled ****ing motor mounts. WTF was wrong with solid rubber?

****ing useless EVAP system that does nothing but cause problems.

EVAP canister filled with charcoal smaller than a grain of rice. When the canister fails all the charcoal pieces are sucked up into your tank, purge solenoid and lines/hoses clogging them.

Feel free to add on!

If you think that's bad you ought to try and work on the 99-02 Camaro or Trans Am. Getting to any of those sensors takes a child's hand. Or you have to put the sensor in before you sit the intake manifold down on the heads. I feel your pain!

Get the engine tuned and rip all that EVAC crap the hell out of there. You have to go in and zero all the emissions codes. Leave them in the in position but reporting mode. Get a tuner to do that and rid yourself of all that EVAP headache. It will show it's operational when it goes through emissions but the system will be in you garage floor or the trash. You can also have him zero out he torque tables and adjust AFR and timing and pick up and quick 25 more HP. You can also turn off start / stop features change tire size and adjust speedo to compensate and a lot of other good stuff. You can max out the timing in the high octane timing tables and enjoy better throttle response, increase torque and HP and he will also make any adj. down the road for other bolt kns like Cold Air Intakes and header ect. ect. ect...
