I'm serious. I drive a YukonXL. Awesome truck. Auto 4wd, leather,sunroof,DVD player..etc. Loaded. It's been a great vehicle 112k miles on it with no issues just regular maintanance.
Last week I put a camaro keychain on my Yukon keys..well...went to leave yesterday and my truck is leaning sideways. Get out to look..yep. One completely flat mud tire. Go to get it plugged and nope.. Can't plug it. Need a brand new tire. Ok. I get that taken care of and I get in my truck to leave this am and it won't start!!! After a few tries she turns over but she's running like sh$t!! I turned her off and said a few sweet words to her and swear to god I turned her over again and she ran like normal...I shrugged my shoulders on that one and pulled out of my garage. About that time my " check engine oil level" light came on! For petes sake!! So I drive to Autozone and check my oil.. 2 quarts low!!! Anyway. Tires fixed. Her oil is topped off..
I'm just hoping she makes it till my camaro comes in...cause she KNOWS mama's about to replace her!!!

lol its funny because it honestly happens all the time. Or when your about to scrap, and alll of a sudden the car runs like a dream. Or when your selling a house, and during an Open House, the house suddenly has ants running around, only when people come to check it out, lmao its true, they always do know

Just be careful what you say around it.

CamaroChelline · 04-19-2009, 01:42 PM

You guys think it was the camaro keychain that gave me away? Lmao..
I am keeping the Yukon cause it's paid for...I just won't be driving it..much..oh hell who am I kidding? Probably never. Lol

Hi i have a 04 Yukon XL and last week had to get 4 new tires, it knows the day is coming that it will be driven 3 days a week or less, Put at almost 200,000 Mi it deserves it best car i have owned and a GM.

SSOOCH · 04-19-2009, 02:44 PM

Hey CamaroChelline what did you order? When? etc.

321LATER · 04-19-2009, 02:49 PM

Interesting. My Yukon started to have problems the day after I signed a purchase agreement for my 2010 Camaro. $1500 later I am very careful about speaking the name CAMARO around it or taking it to the Chevy Dealer....

Vehicles have feelings too.....

I ordered ABM 2SS/RS with black rally stripes and a sunroof..I ordered on march 3rd for the 2nd time ( I canceled my first order after I found out I was # 29 out of 30 at the 1st dealer) I am currently # 3 out of 25 at m new dealer. 2weeks ago my salesman called told me I was at 2500. No updates since then..
Hopefully she's moved since then!!

Yea on my vette I had a wheel air leak (cause some idiot at discount tire used a pry bar to get the bead broken) and when the 2 new rear rims came in delivery truck it stopped leaking.

Chevy's get a personality that's 4 sure.

Zabo · 04-19-2009, 03:23 PM

You aren't the only one.. I have a feeling that the Exploder decided to kill the front wheel bearings on me. Also take into account that in a turn the ABS suddenly dies..

96K.. shouldn't be doing this. It knows.

And I haven't even ordered my car, yet.

1_2Many · 04-19-2009, 03:24 PM

My Suzuki knows too, but it's been treating me better...it's trying to sway my decision. Sorry Suzuki...you served your purpose as a people mover now it's time to for something to move my emotions.

Well it's not abnormal at 96. Probably got some contaminate from submersion or an impact. Still it's almost 100k so you got a good amount out of them.

JerseyMonte · 04-19-2009, 03:58 PM

I have had my 01 Yukon since new it has 86k miles , and the only problem I had was a bad power steering pump. Gets 17 to 19 mpg with a 4.8 engine and 4 WD when it was due for tires I purchased 4 new wheels and tires off an 07 Escalade from Ebay I replaced the 16 inch wheels with the 18's.
It was ordered with the Z71 off road package handles great and rides nice,
no squeaks or rattles either

This is the reason I'm paranoid about having "For Sale" signs on my Trans Am.
