Cold... good times! I've found it cheaper to keep our garage heated to 40 degrees all winter (natural gas heat) than to run an engine block heater. We used to have an F-250 Diesel, and the Ford block heater would draw 1700 watts..... Not sure on the GM Units though....

Yep... Switch lit up, but no heat. Odd. We asked about it before we signed paperwork for the truck, and the dealer just said they replaced the switch. Didn't mention a price etc. as we didn't pay for it. The more I think about it, I wonder how the switch could light up, but the elements...

We had the same issue with our 03 Yukon, but caught it before we bought it. The switch lit up, but no heat either from the bottom element, or the one that heats your lower back. Dealer replaced the switch at no cost, works like a champ now.

JKMotorsports...help.? JKMotorsports...maybe you can help. When we bought our 03yukon, the previous owner had removed his auto start/keyless setup (aftermarket), which left the yukon with no keyfobs. The dealer included two fobs in our purchase and was able to program them, but for some...

I think retailers are gouging with E85. We can drive to Iowa and snag E85 for $1.00 or more per gallon less than regular gas. I just don't have any reason to drive to Iowa...:umn:

5.3 FLEX Fuel Owners...city MPG We've had the Yukon for about a month now and finally figured the MPG on a full tank of E85 @ $2.97/gallon We have the 5.3L flex fuel, 4WD Yukon with 3.73 gears, and with 90-95% city driving, (I work from home so we rarely drive on the HWY) we got 215 miles...

RPO CODE The RPO Code is L59

Check your RPO Codes (GloveBox) W/O the Z for the 8th Character in the VIN, I would doubt that it's flex fuel capable, but you can also look for the RPO Code L59 in your glovebox. That code indicates the 5.3L FLEX FUEL engine was installed in the truck.

Crawl under it and look along the inside edge of the running boards. Should be a pretty quick uninstall and obvious which bolts are holding them on. Let me know if you don't locate em, and I can send over a PIC or two...

Whereabout's are you located? If your 535i a 5 speed? Are you considering parting with it? Let me know!!

I agree big time. We live in Far southern MN along I-35. And there are three stations that sell E85 in town. One of them being KWIK-TRIP, another a Shell Station, and the third a Cenex Propane shop. Unleaded here runs right at $3.97/gallon. KT and Shell are ALWAYS exactly $0.60 cheaper per...

My understanding is the same. There is not as much energy per gallon when using the E85, resulting in the less MPG. The price spread here in MN is pretty descent (25% less than gasoline at some places), so the difference in mileage is just about a wash. I've been reading about being able...

I wish we'd have got an M5 when we bought the 540i, but there were still a tad out of our price range at the time. I've driven several of them, and they are a real blast. My other ideal BMW would have to be the E34 M5. Yes, tha Bangle designs just don't do it for me. It's like you said...

17 is descent for highway. On our first tank since buying our 03 Yukon SLT 4WD, we got 13 combined running E85, with about 98% city driving.

As said in the prev. post, you should be able to direct swap them. We have a 60/40 bench in our Yukon I'd part with for a set of captains chairs.....
