1, 3 and 5 ALL DAY. Holy sh*t. Lol. But nah, I love my Yukon XL. It's my Millennium Falcon. It's done Limo work, then retired it to a family vehicle. It's towed Cars, Hitched entire trailers FULL of furniture and stuff and has moved most of my newly bought furniture/washers/fridges back home from a store. I've taken my ENTIRE family with in-laws (8 people) comfortably on a trip from Dallas to Houston. So this thing has made moving things and family much easier and Safer, it's made me lots of money for about 5 years of Limo work and gotten me out of a jam SEVERAL times during Snow when I lived in NYC. It is an ABSOLUTE work horse and it STILL looks and rides CLEAN. Superb ride quality, awesome Stereo system and great family car. Best truck I ever owned imo. This thing is basically the Hulk with a Tuxedo on. Perfect combo of Muscle and Luxury.
Its a 10 year vehicle easily.
👍👍👍
My only MAJOR complaint is how COMPLICATED it is to change Headlight bulbs WTF. Dick move GMC.
I cut the bottom tabs with the bolts off of the headlights on my xl, just has the two top bolts holding them in. They're still solid and makes changing bulbs a thousand times easier.
Just bought a Denali 10 and had to drain water out my driver headlight. Its not a pop and go like most headlights, ( loosen bolts under wheel well and top of grill) but so much engine compartment room for other work. Atm headlamps were least of my issues to be honest, but all your details give me some comfort I made a good purchase.
Mine was blowing smoke like a mosquito truck!! Losing oil all the while! Changed the driver side valve cover with updated design! Problem solved!! So easy! 290,000 miles and runs smooth as silk!!
What year is yours? I'm looking at a 2009 with 157K miles (Hybrid)
You guys are definitely sharing the most realistic issues with our cars
I have literally had or have currently every single problem with my 2008 Yukon Denali. Just amazing lol
Facts. I just had my wheel bearing fixed last week, and door handle.
just got one.. had a 04.. love these trucks
I have a 2008 Yukon and you just described what I need to change to get rid of the grinding noise
Same bro
Video Accurate as hell...lmao...My Yukon still holding strong though
+A.Z. Hall Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Same!
Lol....I've had all those issues,except the door handles on my 09 slt....but I can't complain. It's been a great vehicle. Still going strong at 218K....
@@SahnieBaDd he left out engine knocks most Chevys do
You from AZ? lol I’m from AZ I’M looking up this vehicle cause my uncle from AZ has a BAD ASS denali
Wheel play up & down only = ball joint/control arm.
Wheel play side to side only = tie rod.
Wheel play both up & down & side to side = wheel bearing.
I haven't had any of these issues so far on my 09 Yukon. I did have the fuel pump rust out and spray fuel out of the top of the fuel tank. The drivers door hinge wore out, which you can hear the one in this video needs replaced too. And I replaced the cracked dash, which is a very common "problem" on these generation trucks/SUVs too.
How many miles on yours???
Definitely that cracked dash I have a 09 with 165k have the wheel bearing problem that's about it well I live in upstate NY so it's starting to rust a lil but very SOLID vehicle when I brought it it had 80k n I had the engine knocking issues especially when it got cold then I switched oil to amsoil super quiet now as long as u change ur fluids can easily go 200k+
This was a great video, I was thinking about grabbing one. This helped a lot. I know what to expect now
Thanks man for sharing. You forgot the underhood fuse/relay box which may have loose connections over time especially for cooling fan relays.
Been chasing a too rich problem for four years. Finally found someone to look at the Fuel Trim system with a scanner. My ethanol % was at 65%. When reset, it went down to 3% and has ran like a dream ever since. It would barely pull a hill and acted like a coil pack was going out. I use BG products religiously and no problems other than the five you mentioned and air ride compressors. Also the Stabilitrak would pop on and off weekly. Found out it was the "Brake Pedal Positioning Sensor." It fixed it, just an FYI.
Nice
Ur la no
TIP FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO BUY A YUKON.
1. the bumper has to be removed to service numerous things. You can always tell if it has been removed by looking at the left and right side of the bumper where it meets the fenders. Typically, there will be paint chipped away where the bumper chipped off the paint on the fender. These spots are usually only coin size.
2. if denali, the chrome in the inner spokes of the wheels tends to chip often
3. make sure the middle seats and rear seats move and fold correctly. Mechanisms often fail.
4. Check the headlight clarity. Maybe this is just in my case and may take and experienced eye to tell. The headlights are often very foggy. I have had a professional attempt a restore yet couldnt. resulting in me needing to buy new headlights.
5. confirm that the power mirrors work. also the lights for the heated front seats. Typically the heated seat still works but the light doesnt.
6. check stuff he showed in the video!
Overall its an amazing truck, recently installed 2 inch spacers all around, 2 12 inch subs, and i love it. You will not regret the purchace!
Same got a 2007 Yukon Denali XL 6.2L 190k on stock engine bought the afm/dod disabler for right after I bought it and I bought it with 110k and no engine problems so far.
Definitely want me one
the lil plastic gears in seats strip/break too apparently... gunna have to get some of the brass ones to fix mine.
What years are better for the 10th gen?
Luckily my 2009 Yukon hasn’t had any of these issues, having more of a TPMS issue. Replaced the tires and sensors just yesterday, still have an issue. But I’m glad I know what to look for!
Thank you for the tips. I’ve had several of these issues with my 2007, which currently has over 240,000 miles and not changing it any time soon.
Do u replace the timing chain already???
@@freddcast3465 when do u needa change that
@@JohnSmith-bc8ve You don't
Mine is a 07, just the outside door handle broke so far.
Airbags “RECALL” too
Looking at a o7 Denali with 175k miles for 10,500 think it's a good buy
So true! Thanks for a perfect factual video
I have had my 08 yukon denali XL for about 6 months now, i have had the last 3 since. Rear door handle isnt attached, front driver side wheel bearing, and the door latch is a little weird when cold! Great Video!!

Spot on!
2011 GMC Yukon 5.3, cluster all lights up, if the small Little line under the prndl does not light up the transmission will not engage. Does not do it all the time. When it happens a little wiggling on the shifter the light will turn on and everything works great.
All in all it seems like a pretty solid vehicle,really good video my man....
+MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Enjoyed the vehicle! Nice short video.
#6 no crank due to the 175 fuse nuts coming loose. ( unnecessary Starter & battery replacement UGH!!) #7 Tire pressure monitor service?? #8 oil pressure gauge not working. Clean screen? #9 electrical surge(lighting). #10 differential leaks. Where's the fill and drain hole?
Great video!! Love to see these others added to the collection.
Tire pressure thing is all newer vehicles. Batteries in the tire sensors last 7 or 8 years and are not replacable. You and me need all new sensors. sucks but it sucks for everyone.
@Melissa Cerna did you do the tire pressure relearn procedure after tpms replacement? If not the lights will not go away and it's really easy to do only takes 5 to 10 minutes and you can do it yourself if you have an air pump.
I’ve also got a 14 Yukon XL XLT. I bought it in November of 2014 at a large out of state GMC Dealership, brand new. I cant complain about it but I did have to replace the passenger side front wheel spindle at 51,000 miles. I don’t mind the gasoline because it’s the 329 / 5.3 with the 6 speed automatic transmission. I have oil and filter changed every 5500 miles. I still prefer to use 5w-30 Full Synthetic oil. I believe the mileage is under 70,000. All but one warranty has expired.
I have always had a Tahoe XL or Burb. I don’t mind the fact that I got the last of the Gen 7 Yukon Bodies because it saved me around 12 Grand over the highest popular Yukon XL bodies, the 2015. However, the exterior design is only part of the post 2014 Yukon and Burbs. The interior is highly technical and is a huge change from any prior year design changes. All electronic including built in Bluetooth and actual WiFi for the 7-8 passengers it can accommodate with leather high back seats. Far better ride on long trips than any sedan made today. I enjoyed this and all your videos.

Every 5500 miles you do a oil change? Why?
Right on point
Good job
I had the evap with a clogged vent tub from the tank from the charcoal pellets. ($1500 dealer), I have replaced 3 of my door lock actuators, not mentions is the power window switches from the back seat position, I replaced two of those. He left off that the stock headlights are scary bad.
Great video. I have a 2011 Yukon and when I get out of the vehicle and leave my keys in the ignition, I’ll walk a few feet and I’ll hear the beep as the doors lock. Service Department at GM says I must be hitting the lock on the way out but I know that’s not the case. Have you ever heard of this?
Mine will do something similar
Yup,bang on. Mine to
Awesome video. My rear access door on my 07 doesn’t go up or down and the mechanic shop can’t fix it.
Mine wouldn't go up or down also. I change all shocks on rear and it works again. Not saying it will fix yours though. They are not cheap. Good luck
Check fuses mine had a short circuit. Take it to a electric shop
When you were showing the inside and outside door handle issue you skipped over #6 but I heard it.. the front driver and passenger door hinge sag that turns into a metal on metal grinding/pop noise.
2 that you may also want to include are
1. the Plastic dash top cracks in various places cuz GM used cheap materials , in which case I reccomend a dash skin overlay
2. The Oil pressure sensor which is located on the top rear of the engine (Note Highly recommended you replace this part with an authentic GM part from GM ( NOT after market brand )
great , thank you
Picking up a black on black 2007 tmrw, hopefully everything goes as planned
I just got a black on black 2012 yesterday I love it
I got my 07 suburban ltz that I love still looks new
Like others have said, afm lifters was my biggest problem. Ended up getting new engine at 130k due to this on 2012 Denali. Afm disable or delete, is worth it.
The DoD/AFM delete kit (Non-DoD Cam, Non-DoD Lifters, Valve Springs, etc) is the ONLY way to go if you want to correctly fix & prevent valve train failure.
The whole "disabling AFM" is a misconceived solution that I hear suggested far too often for comfort; These engines are still equipped with the problematic DoD Lifters that are prone to collapsing. Disabling the AFM parameters doesn't fix poorly designed DoD lifters, nor does it prevent failure in any way. The lifters just suck.
5.3 or 6.0 engine ?
@@alkarim5890 5.3
The door lock issue on mine- whatever doors are baking in the sun won't unlock. I guess the plastic barriers heat up and attach to the actuator? They always start working again after it cools off. Also, the motor mounts, paint peeling on the exterior door handles, AC button paint wears off.. hmm what else? haha I love my Yukon tho. It's loaded and runs great (knock on wood)
1-3 is exactly what I had to fix
How much did the evap leak cost you?
@@terrallcaffie9022 I wish I could remember. It was almost 3 years ago. Wasn't much though. No more than 100.00. Plus I did it myself
@@bigamemphis10 Fam any problems since???
Good video 1A auto, but stabilitrak should have at least been #3 on this list 👌
+Guero Burban Thanks for the feedback!
I haven’t had those problems yet but man I tell you what I can’t keep the stickers for the ac and heater to stay on. Those things run off so quick.
My truck is the 2011 year model and so far the only issue I've experienced is the steering position sensor has failed and the chrome on the inner door release has started to stripe off . I've experienced none of the other problems explained in this video. Over all a very reliable truck
+Paul Salmon Thanks for the feedback!
Nice to know, I have a 2014 Yukon XL Denali and already have done the door handle. Oh, and a fuel pump. But I have 140K on her..
So no major problems so far huh???
@@mercedesbenzs600bash , nope, got over 30K on her since we got it. Fuel pump was the only "big" thing. But it went in my driveway, so repair was done right there by me for the cost of a pump, about 3 bills.
Great bro
Forgot the worst one...Snowflake ❄️ light blinking Usually a ambient temp sensor 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Worst to me atleast because I live in FL 🥵🥵. Other than that love my 4x4 Yukon 225,000 miles strong 💪🏼
This video should be most common easy problems to fix with this generation. More relevant issues would have been the on going quick disconnect heater core hoses. That always crack and leak and O2 sensors
I have had my truck for about 8 years without major issue.
I bought it used from a dealership in Florida. I think it had maybe 80K miles or so but the point is we're well into the 250s I've had the maintenance done on this truck thankfully other than a rear gasket and a handful of other little things done over the years. I've not had real "problems" with this truck. The truth is with the prices the way that they are especially for a brand new Tahoe I will keep what I have.
These problems are pretty minor. Happy with my new (used) Yukon purchase
Just drove home my sleek black beauty tonight. Hope we’re both happy down the road.
Same here, purchased a used 2014 about 3 days ago. Pretty happy so far.
I just bought a 2012 Denali with 83k on it. Absolutely loving it so far.
You forgot the biggest problem with this model - the arm rest where you grab the door to open and close it -( not the silver unlock handle) has the support plastic parts inside break up causing the handle to feel like it's empty after the plastic pieces fall out and along with all the door trim pieces. This happens mostly on the drivers side - most used. GMC should have used strips of metal for support instead of strips of white plastic.
If those nothingburgers are the top five items, it seems like a pretty darned good vehicle to me. I love my 2011 Denali. Even with $5 gas.
DON'T forget about the oil PRESSUE switch! my 2014 went out my sisters 09 also! I also know of others who've had this issue, very common with this model yrs.
Ironic.. I went out and test drove an '11 the other day, and it ran as smooth as silk. Bought it, got 10 miles from the dealer, and the oil pressure dropped to 0. Turned around, and they're currently fixing it at the shop (they're footing the bill, thankfully, and delivering it when finished.)
@@DavePainkiller WHAT PART DID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE? BY ANY CHANCE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE BILL WAS?
Door handle is only problem from the list, I just scraped the chrome off for a temp fix.
+Matt Carrasquillo Thanks for the feedback!
What about the stabilitrak that is big on 2011 Chev , Cadi , and GMC 1500 series
Yea mine says this but idk how to fix it
Hey, we just replaced the master lock and window panel… but the drivers door still has NO power to it?
Based on those top 5, the vehicle seems to be very reliable if those are the top5 issues.
Do you know how to fix the wedge of the motor of the motor of the running board my car is Yukon 2014
I appreciate your help

Add the rear main seal and that’s a wrap
Looks like same old problems different year. Way to go Detroit! Keep pushing out gems. May not be bailout next time.
great video...my 2008 Yukon Denali SUV 100,000 miles... still looks and drives really well.....just started to stutter at start and all 4 tires have slow leaks..I was told tires are good but wheels aren't forming a good seal and typical for this year........? true
My 2008 does the same constantly putting air in tires
Hello Fellas!!
What's your thoughts on My 2008 yukon denali is making som explosions , I already changed ignition wire harness. Ignitior wire, ignition coils (all 8) and spark plugs, still in acceleration loose power and message pop up as stabilizertrack... and check engine star blinking... please any idea.
LOL... I just cut 2 fingers on the front pax door handle (chrome delamination) YESTERDAY! Yes, before I watched this video. Quick fix... Utility knife and cut down the delamination - will need to use 400 GRT sandpaper to smooth it all out WX permitting.
BTW, on my wife's Yukon (2011) when she moves her set, the R/H mirror goes up and out MAX each and every time! Could be a number 6 issue to look into.
just bought an 09 yukon and went to put gas in it for first time and pump keeps shutting off. not even getting evap codes but seems a sure thing vent valve is shot. gunna do the canister and purge solienoid too for good measure.
I have a couple of different issues with my 2007 and wondered if you have any solutions.
#1. I bought it without TPMS sensors on the wheels. Have driven it over a year with no problems just reads 0.0 on the computer tire pressure monitor. Recently I installed a second battery and a battery kill switch but after that the "Service TPMS" indicator showed up on the computer and my key fob completely stopped working. Mechanic tried to run a diagnostic but the system would not even communicate with his diagnostic computer.
I was told to try to just reprogram the key fob but the system won't even let me and it also won't let me attempt to reset the TPMS.
Any suggestions?
#2 I have a vibration at around 70mph. Was told that it may just be the tire balance. Had them rotated and balanced but still has a vibration.
#3 I too got the check engine code for the evape sensor but we replaced that and we still have that code. And another thing I should mention is, there is a symptom of the evap sensor. When pumping gas, it continually stops pumping and it's a fight to fill the tank.
Can you help with any of these things???
Thanks, I came out to start mine 6.2l Yukon and its knocking like crazy, all fluids are full no engine light BUT oil pressure is very low just below 40. What could it be. it only has 88,000 and the oil is just as clean as when I bought it and never had to add oil to it. Whats your thoughts?
Heater hose breaks off from the fire wall. Most common issue
my door handle plastic broke, so I glued it back into place and pull on the right (correct) area of the handle from now on.
What happened gas pressure in tank. Hard to fuel. I replaced some of everything still having problems ,just the holes I did not there a hard piece in fuel line tube between tank and neck
If this is the main problems of a Yukon....well then I guess I gotta get me a Yukon...lol!
+Tonysrotties Thanks for the feedback!
Rear differential for me. 2008 Denali. 💪🏿
You can also add to the list:
Dashboard cracks
Lifters failure due to DoD/AFM
Did away with the afm on my Yukon to the tune of 3 grand as soon as the warranty ran out, solved several drivability issues and only lost about 1/2 mile per gallon. Totally worth what I spent.
@@tmurph247 looking into buying. What’s the afm?
Seems only a issue if oil changes neglected.
Also can’t forget the brake light switch, and oil pressure sensor/filter screen!
Hi. I have a 2007 gmc yukon denali 6.2l awd. And I'm having a check engine light with code p0496. Which says (evaporative emissions system high purge flow) is that the part in the back or something else. I bought a new ac delco gas cap already. I know you're not in front of the car but just wondering from the code if you can point me in a direction. Thinking of doing a smoke test to check for leaks. TY
Do you have a video on how to change out the evap vent valve? Tried filling up this week, my 07 Yukon Denali, and it takes 15 minutes or better for a half a tank.
+The Truth We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Good luck with wheel bearings. The axle nut is a pain. Had to heat it with torch. The problem I’m having now is when I’m stopping it’s not idling right and cutting off.
Another Great Video... and at the end you said: if you enjoyed this Vehicle please subscribe... ??? so funny,,,
#1 Cracked Dash...LOL 😆 had three of these Denali s and all had cracks in the same spots!!!😡
+Cesar Vargas Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Or in my case with the wheel bearing/ hub assembly it didn’t make any sound and the wheel almost fell of only thing that kept it held on was the cv axle and axle nut
Misfire when going up a hill and sometimes while idling in gear but the check engine light never comes on. Any suggestions?
The squeaky doors! I have it on both the left and right lol
I'm about to buy a 2007 Yukon SLT that was owned by a grandma and has 98,000 miles on it. Came here looking for real expectations.
I got a 2012 Yukon my dash shows its in drive with shifter in park . wont start with key but will by jumping the starter.. neutral saftey switch?
My key fob doesn’t work sometimes. I replaced the battery and the fob. Seems that whatever receives the signal is going out.
Ya the door hinges too like in this video also the stabilitrak is crack wack bs. Rusty crusty if salts around also weak ads paint adhesion my 08 needs 5k in paint ez going to raptor liner it doe. Foos
One more thing you forgot the motor mounts buddy
Exactly I changed 1 the other is bad now
What about the 70-75 mph shake that no one seems to be able to diagnose?
Hi, how can I program new key fobs on a 2013 Yukon Denali 6.2L
Build them cheap but sale them for a lot. I miss the older cars
Door Handles, keep breaking replacement more then 3 times already. I hate it.
The peeling white paint, the auto start working only part of the time, the stereo face plastic deteriorating, the bad side to side when turning into a steep incline, the dash cracking
The dash is a huge one
No mention of the AFM/DoD issues here for some reason.
We are having big problems with our 2010 GMC Yukon, cracked 2 flywheels and the bolts keep backing out??
Didn’t mention, dash crack, door brace handle, and headlights which are prevalent
Which has a better gas mileage between this car and the Volvo XC90 V8?
Which gives less issues between this and the XC90 V8?
it depends, the volvo has a smaller displacement. I have the Yukon XL with the 6.2 liter and i average 13.9 mpg. Regardless, the yukon will run a lot longer and has more power. Highly reccomend the yukon.
2018 Dodge Ram pickup with the dashboard turning off.
Guess I'll stick with my 05
Honestly ' the super annoying STABILITRAK light on dash should be # 1 with no excuses. & to fix it = replace the steering position sensor- about 80dls but some pain in the neck to replace it
07 yukon denali randomly won't start. Battery alternator and starter all fairly new. What could be the issue?
Definitely cut my finger on the inside door handle 😂 07 Suburban 2500
I'll add #6 Knock Sensors
Door handles are the most kick in the ass. Maybe replace them more than 3 times now
Yhe arm rest on the front doors is fragile and easily breaks too. The dealer only sells the complete door panel.
