My truck ('99 K1500 5.7 obs) has a coolant leak somewhere. It's hard to pinpoint, but I'm starting to think it's at the back of the intake manifold. A similar leak occurred in my '95 Suburban with the same engine so I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, I'd like to hear about experiences with UV leak detection kits. Any suggestions, tips, tricks, etc.? I've never used one before.

  I'm not going to be a first year engine owner. I'll be buying a new 2027 but it'll be a Yukon 3.0l.

  There are plenty being sold. I had a 6.2l 2023 that I sold prior to the actual recall. I would have kept it had the recall come out before I bought the 3.0l 2025. I'm ordering a 2027 Yukon next month with another 3.0l diesel. I'm thrilled with the fuel economy of the diesel. Go to your local dealer service department and talk to the service manager and get his take. If I was sold on a gasser, I'd lean towards the 6 2l rather than being a first year owner of the 6.6l.

  I have 3 more mortgage payments on my house. I am planning on purchasing a new GMC 6.2L Denali. Is it safe to purchase a new truck? I have been reading alot about engine failures. Has this been corrected. What should one do?

  like your question, i have beenbuying used for the last 15 years just because i put almost 40k a year on. so a 5 year old truck at 200 or 230 k is the same price. you dont give up the first year big hit
