    For the rear view mirror, take off that trim right above the mirror and there will be a t15 under there that’s loose, tighten it up and it’ll be good as new

    Thank for this, glad to hear its mostly reliable. My wife and I are looking at possibly buying a 2015 Suburban. We currently have a 2013 Grand Caravan, and the minivan while functionally is fine. It struggle in carrying heavy items plus people. My wife is handicapped and uses a scooter, when we load the van with people and luggage plus scooter. The van struggles.

    2016 Yukon XL SLT owner here (62k miles). I watched your video regarding the LED taillights. And I’m glad. Because the dealership (via GM) did replace it for free and it has a warranty too (I forgot the warranty mileage coverage).
    Nevertheless, thanks for these videos giving great info. Much needed and you definitely got a subscribe from em.

    I have a 2015 GMC Yukon I bought brand new. I was even the first person to test drive. My ac went out, my vacuum line on my breaks went out, my circuit went out for my break lights. All before 85k miles.

    • @jasonharris3873
      @jasonharris3873 3 роки тому +1

      The vacuum pump for brakes are under a recall. The brake lights in the back were a 30 minute fix if you are handy. Lots of videos on how to fix it. AC has condenser issues where side connections. crack. It was also a recall but only up to 65k miles I believe. There is also an AC line that comes out of the compressor that has a weird bend that cracks. Had to replace both. I have a 2015 Denali for reference.

    Thank you for posting this and all your videos! They have been very helpful in fixing my taillight and a couple other small issues.
    I was wondering if you have ran into any issue with your rear wiper? Mine makes this awful almost grinding sound when I turn it on. I don't think it's normal, but thought I'd ask before making an appointment with the dealership.

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage  2 роки тому

      It shouldn’t make a grinding noise but the wiper itself drags on the window and can make an unpleasant dry rubbing sound. It may have a bad motor for the wiper if it’s grinding

  • @Laura-wl4mi
    @Laura-wl4mi 2 роки тому

    I've had so many issues with my 2015 (pretty much everything you listed) in addition to some rattling sound that I can't for the life of me figure out. I'll end up at the shop but considering you pretty much touched on all these common issues I figured I'd ask if you've heard weather what I described is another known issue & hoping a somewhat simple fix?
    I found a service bulletin dated February 2020 mentioning a ticking, rattle and or buzzing heard from inside passenger compartment, possible fuel leak. On Yukon & Yukon XL 2015-2020 models

    How about whistling noise coming from the rear right D pillar at highway speeds 70+ especially if it’s windy. Do you know anything about it? I’ve tried just about everything and even had the dealer take the trim off and cut the excess urethane under the window so the trim would sit more flush. It’s still slightly higher than the window where the driver side is slightly lower than the window and no noise coming from it. Didn’t know if you had come across this or might have any insight. Thanks!

    We’ve had most of these issues on our 2015 Yukon. Ours uses 1+ courts of oil every 2k miles. We are lucky to make it to 5k miles before the “add engine oil” warning comes on. The solution from the dealership is to get the oil changed more often. We finally got them to replace rings under warranty and so far the oil consumption is worse... we will see. Their other solution was to trade it in... lol

      LS/LT engines consume oil you need to change the oil before 3500 miles. What rings did they replace exactly? piston? that won't stop oil consumption there may be a leak in rear main seal or even oil pan. They're notorious to wear after 100k miles

      There is likely a setting for automatic shutoff that you could have turned off in the vehicle’s tune, but it’s not a common feature to turn off. I would find a near by tuning shop that has a “dyno” and then with a hand held tuner like in the link below they can write a custom tune that turns that feature off. Maybe even call the company SCT in the link and ask them www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VS3Q9SF/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=2004047-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08VS3Q9SF&linkId=569019563d9596ac0dd87eb2912d290e
