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

Absolutely. However, for a 1000 dollar investment you can buy HP Tuners and for a little more the diagnostic suite. You can tune and diagnose any problem. With a little study you can learn to read the codes and build a page of gauges of the working systems. If the code doesn't point you to the problem right down to the part there is another way. You can build a page that uses gauges to show sensors and systems in real time. Once you have established a base line on the gauges, if one is lazy you can tell right there the sensor is either screwed up or one part that it controls is hinky.
My best friend had 99 Camaro. When he stomped the gas the car would fall on its face. He took it to I don't know how many dealers and they couldn't find the issue. Well he got sick and tired of the probem. He sold the car to my other friend for 3,600 bucks..The car was a coveted 99 SLP Camaro which were limited editions. Turned out it was the MAP sensor. He had been oiling the K&N filter too heavily and carbon built up on the MAF sensor wire. Well I fixed that and it was good. Well the boy that owned the Camaro crashed it and insurance gave him 12,500 bucks for the same car. I could see the MAF line just crash at 3000 RPM for no reason. I just replaced the MAP and that was that.
My Dad has one of these. Been a pretty good truck, 99 model. I had to convince him hard that he doesn't want a new truck. He puts a new trans in every 100k. That and a new wiring harness. I think that's about it. He has @ 200k on it now
Some of us actually work with our trucks......Takes a real truck to do real work
Just leave in downtown Atlanta some spook get report stolen
I have a beautiful Silverado 2012. Love the way the 5.3 runs and sounds. Ride is great! This is a big car for all practical purposes. 4 wheel drive with short bed doesn't lend itself to much truck stuff but it sure is pretty. My biggest gripe when comparing it to my 2010 F150 is the interior, door handles etc.... Are all thin plastic garbage. Cracked up dash, replaced 3 of the 4 door handles and the interior arm rests collapse..... All with less than 100k miles. F150 now approaching 200k miles has none of these problems. Just normal wear items and transmission pan gasket went at 140k, breaks hold up better but wears outside edge of tires worse than the Chevy. Overall I will take the dependability and functionality of the F150 (I can load 25 -12' sheets of drywall on the 150 no problem) over the Silverado. Selling both to get a F250 it's time
It’s been like this for decades, it ain’t just GM either. Vehicals are designed for the assembly plant with little concern for access to repair. Ford, GM , Dodge. All the same.
lol. It’s a 7.3. Old dinosaur. And it’s pulling whatever behind it. It doesn’t have near the power of today’s diesels but it doesn’t have a 1/4 of the problems. And being a 350 it rides pretty well and gets around 20mpg. So I’m riding til it dies.
I didn't know ford was still like that on the tires since they changed from the twin I beam. Just rotate tires every 5k miles. That's what I do
Just take good care of it. It might outlast you
