Are these seats leather? I have a Denali and my seats feel like they are some type of vinyl. If so, is a leather conditioner needed?

Just took mine in for an oil change, and had an issue with the radio where the screen would lock up for a minute or two. It only happened a few times; however, the tech said they had a software update that should fix this. Two days later my screen is now going blank but the music from the radio still plays. It only last a minute or two, but now the radio problem is worse. I have a 2021 GMC Denali. Oh well, I guess I will be taking it back.

I have the Denali and have never had this issue. The shocks on the Denali include a system known as adaptive ride control and I guess they keep this problem from happening. It’s a great truck that keeps on going.

Every time I wash my truck, I will use the towel that I dry the truck with to wipe down the engine bay. That seems to do the trick. I don’t feel comfortable spraying water into the engine compartment. Too many electrical components that could be compromised.

Looks good. What type of wax did you use. The shine and reflection is top notch.

I traded in my 2019 Ram Bighorn ( new body style) for a 2021 Denali. The Denali has a slightly better ride then the Ram. I don’t know how much of a difference the ride in the SLT would be.

Talked to the dealer on Friday , they told me that they have no idea when the latch will be shipped. I was told that there is no inventory for this part anywhere in the country. So right now I have a pick up truck that I am limited in using the bed. I have a farm and am always hauling something, wood, hey, fuel, horse feed, etc. Not really happy right now. It’s probably a $30 part that GM does not have in its parts bin to ship out. I asked the dealer if it would be better and quicker to get a whole new tailgate. I’m taking it in on Monday and they are going to see what they can do. What a joke!

Well it wasn’t the switch, it was the latch on the small door portion of the dual lift gate . The service manager said this was this first time he saw this. The part is on back order, they thought it would be here in a couple days , now they have no idea when it will arrive. Which means I have a pick up truck in which I can’t open my tailgate , which limits the use of the truck.

Just called the dealer and that’s what they think it is. They are checking to see if they have the parts in house before they want me to bring it in. I guess this is a somewhat common issue with these multi function tailgates.

My tailgate won’t open on my GMC . When I go to crank it up , I get the message that the inner tailgate is open, it is not. I tried opening and closing the inner tailgate, but no luck. Any suggestions , or has anyone else experienced this issue and if so what was the fix.

I don’t know, I did it about a month ago and haven’t seen the spots come back yet. It may be something you have to do every so often. I guess it will give me something to do on the weekends.

Same thing on my trim. Used turtle wax hybrid ceramic and Maguire’s back to black . Seemed to do the trick.

Where I live in Florida, none of the GMC dealers I talked to had a factory extended warranty that they were selling. I did buy one from a GMC dealer that was underwritten by CNA. It was a 10 year 150,000 mile warranty that covers just about everything except brakes, tires, and the usual exclusions with respect to a premium warranty . It has a $100 deductible and cost about $3,100. I guess the Florida Department of Insurance has rules that GM or their dealers have issues with when it comes to the selling or pricing of their factory extended warranty .

Just curious if anyone has had any lifter failures on either the 5.3 or 6.2 with build dates AFTER March 2021.

I would hope that they would get rid of the oil pump belt that has to be replaced at 150,000 miles by dropping the transmission . That is why I stayed away from this diesel and went with the 6.2.
