"I got the Denali XL figures from http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/previews/2000/November/200011_preview_gmc_yukon.xml"
This article states:
"They also seem to be more respectable in the 0-to-60 department -- 8.7 seconds for the Denali, 9.2 for its bigger brother, according to GMC."
So where is the data for the "regular" Yukon XL? Funny how the eyes can play tricks on us when we want to see something else. I f anyone else has data comparing the 53.L XL to the 6.0L DXL, I am interested.
Dave
Since this is also a daily driver for me (and others), comfort was of utmost concern. The 3/4 ton cannot be had with the autoride. If towing is not of concern and quick starts is a priority, the 5.3 YXL would be a more economical choice.
And, try to shift into 4-wheel once the two rear wheels have spun on a gravel boat ramp with a boat and trailer attached. Advantage AWD.
Everyone must evaluate their own needs before deciding if it is worth the extra for the Deanli. 0-60 unloaded is just one factor.
I want a brake controller that can be mounted "way" out of the way, and then mount a small remote trigger somewhere convenient.
I would appreciate any opinions from someone who has shopped around, or users of the above mentioned unit.
Thanks, Dave
Also, does anyone know of an aftermarket sunroof from this manufacturer, Webasco Hollandia? How does it compare to the ASC roof?
Thanks
Is is possible that only the standard 16" wheel will fit under the vehicle?
How big is the screen on the system you bought?
When you installed your Billet emblem, did you pop off the plastic radiator cover? Also, did you install any rubber bushings so as not to scratch the beautiful grill? I ordered the emblem and have not installed yet. Just wondering...
Any resolution from the dealer on this issue? I have a 2001 Yukon XL Denali and while the 4 corners have the 17" Michelin, the Spare is the 16" Firestone. Seems like a joke and will cost me money when I replace the tires as I usually take the Spare and only buy 3 tires. Not to mention if I have a flat, the inconvenienc of one tire at 16" and the others at 17".
Did I infer correctly that you have more than one skid plate on your Denali? If so, where did you get them and where do you have them installed? Are their mounting holes in place? I have always had skid plates on my SUV's but it was not offered on the Denali? Thanks.
2x(sidewall height) + rim diameter = tire diameter
Michelin P265/70R17
2(26.5cm x 0.70) + 17in x 2.54cm/in = 80.28cm
Firestone P265/75R16
2(26.5cm x 0.75) + 16in x 2.54cm/in = 80.39cm
Therefore the spare is 0.11cm (0.0433in)taller than your Denali Wheel and Michelin tire!
Ok, you are out the price of 1 tire to rotate into the others. Hey how did you afford the vehicle in the first place. Long story short, it will be hard to convince the dealer that the spare is the "wrong" size.
Dave
I'm still awaiting a build date for my Denali so I'll wait and see if the spare is indeed a Firestone. However, in a recently discussion with my dealer rep on this topic, he did indicate that "something" could be worked out if so equipped. Sounds promising but.... Will post when the truck is delivered.

But I agree with heatwave3 that this site must have bad information. It must have been for an older model. The current ratings are as heatwave3 states.
Also, sunroofs, ASC vs Webasto Hollandia, any of you know about these roofs and quality of each.
Thanks

U would think for what we spent on these vehicles, it should be WOOD, ah well, such is life
I also installed the ASC sunroof aftermarket through the dealer. The same sunrof as factory with much better controller. You get to have rear climate control and one touch close and auto-close on the sunroof once the engine is off, neither feature is available from factory. You won't be disappointed as the auto-close feature can't be beat.
Oh Well!

To ccpd400: We experienced the "howling" noise in our '99 Denali and assumed it to be driveline related. However,as time went on I found it to be wind noise from the body. It would start at ~40 mph and was constant at any speed. Early into my complaint, a GM engineer placed noise and vibration monitors inside the engine compartment and I was told there was nothing unusual mechanically causing the "howling". As annoying as it was,I just lived with it.
It would be a real nice touch if they made the second row seats adjustable.
