IVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE WITH THEIR LATEST PUMP AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.. THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND ANY SPEED, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

TRAILER HITCHES
ON A RECENT TRIP TO CANADA IT WAS FOUND THAT FOUR(4) OF THE WELDS HOLDING THE SQUARE RECEIVER TO THE HORIZONTAL MEMBER WERE CRACKED, ONE WELD WAS OK. NOT BEING SATISIFED WITH THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION PERFORMANCE OF THE HITCH I HAD CONTACTED CAN-AM RV CENTER (TOWING SPECALISTS) IN ONTARIO CANADA TO CHECK THE HITCH WHILE I WAS UP THERE. WHEN RAISING THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT THEY FOUND FOUR CRACKED WELDS WHICH THEY REPAIRED AND ATTACHED SOME ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO THE FRAME IN ORDER TO TRANSFER MORE WEIGHT TO THE FRONT AXLE. PRIOR TO THIS MODIFICATION I WAS REDUCING THE FRONT AXLE LOAD BY 600#, WHICH MADE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE LIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS RECEIVER IS OVER RATED AND VERY DANGEROUS. THIS FACTORY RECEIVER IS RATED AT 12000# TRAILER WEIGHT AND 1500# TONGUE WEIGHT WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE OVER RATED. IT ALSO DOES NOT TRANSFER THE WEIGHT EVENLY OVER THE VEHICLE AS IT SHOULD. I AM TOWING A 9000# TRAILER WITH A HITCH WEIGHT OF 1200#. IT APPEARS THAT THE GM PRIORTY IS SELLING YUKON'S AND INCLUDING A RECEIVER FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER. AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT THEY NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE WELD FIX($70) BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DONE BY A GM DEALER. IF SOMEONE DROPS A $40,000 TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE IT WILL COST GM MORE THAN $70. GOOD LUCK AND THANKS, LLOYD BADMAN. *AK

TIRES
WAS SOLD NEW VEHICLE WITH P265 TIRES. GMC SAYS THE DEALER CAN PUT ANY TIRE HE WANTS ON THE VEHICLE,THE DEALER DIDN'T KNOW IT STATES IN OWNERS MANUAL DON'T USE TIRE CHAIS WITH P265 TIRES. SEE PAGE 6-52 YUKON 2001 OWNERS MANUAL. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GMC #C05410969. I FEEL IT IS A SERIOUS CONDITION FOR A DEALER TO BE ABLE TO SELL A VEHICLE WITH P265 TIRES WITHOUT HAVING TO AT LEAST WORN BUYER THAT THEY CAN NOT USE SNOW CHAINS ON P265. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEALER SELLING PRACTICE. NOTE: > THIS APPLIES TO ALL GMC PICKUP'S AND SUV'S.*AK
