If not actually the starter, may have been connections to starter, which were all secured correctly and tight with the new starter.  You can only hope.  Good luck and thanx for the the updates.

Still trying to figure out why my Rear Park Assist keeps going in and out.  In the process of checking three fuses and one relay to see what happens.  If it is on when I start up, it goes out after driving a short time.  Makes me think something heats up and causes a short to the system.  No rush to go to the Stealer/Dealer.

Yeah man, can only hope!! It does sound possible, though! Time will tell these next few days/weeks..

as far as your park assist, do you mean, the sensors? The ones that vibrate/beep when you’re backing up?

Rear Park Assist is the dashes behind the vehicle in the DIC when you get close to something, along with triangles in the rear camera that indicate something behind you that change color the closer you get, along with the seat vibrations.  Changed three fuses, no change.  Will change the relay next, then have the wiring harness to each sensor checked, still think there is a short somewhere when the wires heat up.  You can only hope.

Got ya!! Well, on my previous Yukon, the 15’ model, which obviously was the firs gen to include them, I lost them all after first, the right corner  sensor on the front bumper started intermittently getting loose, and freezing solid (while lose after getting out of the car wash, NJ resident) So, while this was going on, I got banged from behind Really softly.. Not even a dent. This was right on the right side of the rear bumper. A few days later, all my assists went off! 
I brought it to my buddy’s body shop for an opinion.. His suggestion was, that both are causing the problem, first Intermittently feom the right side front bumper sensor, and second, most likely  have shut it all down, was the bang in the back Bumper which dislodged/damaged the Park assist module! Which is right in the Right side corner from rear bumper. If you lay down, sneak in under the car slightly, and wrap your hand around it, you be able to feel it. See if it’s loose, or somehow a connection slipped off. (Unlikely) but try it. Mine was all damaged and half hanging, so I’m almost 100% certain that was the culprit. 
To be sure though, check all the bumper sensors front/back, in case any of them is slightly loose or damaged. That will definitely cause it to malfunction as well. 
My solution, at the time, my car had already almost 300k, so I just left it alone, since I got this current one 8 months later. But the problem was there till the day I sold it on Craig’s list. As a matter of fact I explained all this to the buyer. Lol. Keep us posted. ? 

FYI, so far almost a week, no Battery issues!! Truly bizarre, but will see.  Rick!

Good info, thanx.  Still happening.  Have body shop apt next week for new running board.  I’ll ask them to check, and I’ll check/feel the rear connections.

Sounds good. I’m pretty confident that that’s where the problem lies..

    • I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome. 
    • Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
