Immediately, I notice the compressor coming on a lot more and when I put on a trailer, it was every 3 or 4 minutes. The compressor was replaced, but problem was still there. Now I can't pull ...

  This is just my opinion... kinda long, but just want to share my experience... When buying an used car from an unknown source not only has to do with some luck, but also how well the vehicle has been maintained/driven by the previous owner(s) and your ability to detect any potential problems (i.e. engine/transmission/axles fluid leaks...) before deciding to buy. In this Yukon forum, I have seen several owners with 200K+ ... Read More

  Yes, Yes. I had a door handle replaced on my 2007 GMC Yukon Denali XL on Monday. Saturday the car was dead and the speakers too. It would continue to die if let set for several hours. My guess is there was a drain on the battery. So I took it to GM thinking the work on the door shorted something out. They didn't find the problem but suggested trying to ... Read More

  Your wheel speed sensors need to be cleaned. It is a pretty simple repair by the dealer but time consuming. The dealers don't seem to like making the repair though. I found out It was a recall on some of the vehicles but not the Yukon. It costs about $500. I paid for the repair and then wrote a complaint letter to my dealer. The service mgr at the dealer was ...

From racermd's post on the GMC Yukon XL / Yukon XL Denali forum: If you go this route on the turn signals, you'll need to make sure you get a "load balancer" - a resistor that tricks the signal switch into thinking you don't have a blown bulb (LEDs pull less current than an ...
