Filled up the Yukon a couple of days ago at $4.15/gal here in Phoenix and I only get about 13.5 mpg in mostly city traffic (5.3 liter engine). Oh well such is life. :crazy:

My 02 Yukon has one. Shouldn't the Tahoe have one since they basically are the same?

This isn't normal because my 02 just started doing this. I've had it since new. Thanks for the info

My 02 Yukon 4x4 with about 36000 miles on it has just started to have an occasional slight clunk on upshift from first to second. I don't notice it on downshifting to a stop only when accelerating. It seems to go away as the vehicle is driven a few miles or it is intermittant. Any ideas...

I easily towed my 6500 lb trailer with my 02 Yukon 4x4 loaded with camping gear. It has the trailering package, 5.3L engine, and a 4.10 rear and per the info from GM it is rated at towing 8000 lbs.

I sure would not sign that waiver. I'm not a mechanic but it just seems kind of funny that they want you to do that. What if you have a problem in the future and it can be proven that it was due to running diesel? If they don't pay for the current issues without you having to sign the waver I...

My wife and I also were thinking of trading our beautiful 02 Yukon in on either a new Tahoe/Yukon or an Acadia. We nixed the Acadia idea after we realized that the reason we got the Yukon 4x4 was to go off roading on forest roads. We enjoy that alot! The Acadia obviously will not go where our...

Why not check some auto recycle yards. Maybe you can get a whole new seat or just the bottom. If you find your color it should match pretty good because it will not be new. You can even use the web to check a large area of the country. Good luck!

I changed the cabin air filter in my 02 Yukon. It is down near the floor where the black box on the passenger side is. And it was a pain in the butt to change. But it was dirty. Of course I had the original in there for four years!! :rolleyes2: And it was so hard to do that I'll probably leave...

Lets see, a nice gas Tahoe would cost about $40k. The new hybrid is about $50k. That's $10k difference and at the current gas price of $3/gallon, I could buy about 3333 gallons of gas for the difference. And if the gas Tahoe gets about 15mpg average you could drive 50000 miles for the cost...

And I thought my 02 Yukon was expensive at about 40k!! These vehicles now cost more than the price I paid for my house in 1978!! Well if I could get at least 15k for my perfectly good Yukon that will help. Hopefully the dealers won't sell them for more than the sticker price. I know they will be...

Thinking of trading my 02 Yukon in on the 08 Tahoe hybrid. Anybody know when we will see them at the dealers and their starting price? I see it is rated at about 21 mpg in town. I think my current Yukon gets about 12 to 13 in town. Gm is doing the right thing. It would be nice to get that milage...

I currently own an 02 Yukon and am thinking of getting the 08 Tahoe/Yukon hybrid. It appears from the GMC or Chevy website that you cannot get cloth seats with the hybrids. Does anyone know that is a fact or can you get cloth seats? I prefer cloth since we travel with two cocker spaniels and I...

I have an 02 Yukon with the 5.3L engine, 4.1 rear end, and all towing options. I have no problem towing a 6500 lb HiLo trailer around the west. I even have the power to pass on some inclines.

Well I've had mine towing a 6500 lb trailer up and down mountain roads in Arizona and have had no transmission problems. I did change my transmission fluid at about 30,000 because I have done alot of towing. Runs great. When you tow use the Tow/Haul mode especially when going uphill so your...
