We just bought a used '07 yukon xl. Under the second row bench seat is a raised floor that covers the seat mounting. This is not attached. if the bench is folded forward you can pick up the rear. Is this normal? We took it back to the dealer and they said this is how they are. Do not have access to another yukon to check. This weekend I will look for a used one on a lot somewhere and try it myself if I have to.

 

Thanks.

Are you talking about the "flaps" that are on the backside of the second row? If so, they are normal and should clip up into the back of the second row to stay out of the way when you don't need them. They are there to provide a flat load floor.

 

If it is something under the second row, I have no clue, my 2004 Suburban does not have that.

Is the 07 different?

 

There isn't traditionally anything else under the seat unless something has been added. The flat floor extensions are rather obvious though... at least on the 06 and older Suburban/Yukon twins.

 

Without them, the floor would not be flat when you fold the seat. You would just have a hole there... They are not secured to anything unless they are snapped into the seatback when it isn't folded. This seems rather self explanatory... so maybe this isn't what you are talking about? :fume:

 

Like I said... unless the 07 is totally different - seat wise.

A picture is worth a thousand misspelled words.....

AHA.. that is quite different from prior versions. I must plead ignorance on this issue. Please post your findings so we know in the future.

Looks to me like a skirt around the frame of the seats.

I'm assuming by the picture that you can't put anything under the seats ?

Have not sat back there yet. Wife's car. I only see it in the dark. i am sure you can slide small things under the seat, on top of this pan, from the front and back of the seats.

1. You sure about having a bench seat? Those sure look like captains chairs.

2. That raised floor panel does not lift up in our Suburban which definitely has the 60/40 split-bench in 2nd row.

 

Maybe there's a difference between Chevy & GMC (doubtful) or between captains chairs & bench (maybe) but I suspect the most likely thing is that your dealer is feeding you some BS.

The picture I found is of captain seats. we have a 60/40 bench but that piece does look the same. It feels like the clips are just broken or worn out cuz it holds under slight pressure but once you put a bit of force, about a bud tallboy (24oz), it just pops up.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
