    Noob needs normals on batt light, DVD power, oil level, headlights off

    Not getting the vehicle level before checking the oil is definitely a common mistake, but Hubby was a mechanic in the armed forces. This truck was definitely level. As a redundancy, checks were performed in 2 different flat locations, with identical results. The oil life indicator thingy is a...

    Carfax

    Sorry, but that statement is incorrect. The Ford dealer and the mixed-bag used dealer both transferred this truck into their name. They appear right there, big as life, on the $20 Used Vehicle Information Package produced by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. Names, addresses...

    Noob needs normals on batt light, DVD power, oil level, headlights off

    As mentioned in other threads, I bought an 04 Yukon XL SLT a few days ago. Canadian truck. We love it, but it's got problems. 16 of 'em that I've found so far, despite being a "GM Optimum recertified" critter. We're talking big honking issues any idiot would notice, like missing lenses and...

    Newbie question - "1" & "2" fobs on 2004 XL

    Thanks very kindly for trying to help, bad63lac. I appreciate it. Took the truck to the more-local dealer branch yesterday, and had them program the 2nd junk-drawer fob. They said they'd have to do both of them at the same time...no problem, whatever works. While I was there, a nice...

    Newbie question - "1" & "2" fobs on 2004 XL

    Just picked up a 2004 Yukon XL SLT on Saturday. (Woohoo!) First Tahoe type vehicle in the family, so I'm a total noob. Hope I'm not asking a terribly stupid question. I have read the owner's manual, and skimmed through the forums for a few days. This is a Canadian truck, bought from an...
