Re: Looking at buying an '05 Yukon XL

The brakes are cheap and simple to do yourself. I have never dealt with a loose tilt column. Must be some sort of gear or stop is broken, maybe the old owners would pull themselves up in to cab and broke it. use it for negotiation leverage and have them fix it if you like the truck.

Yup.... not worried about brakes.. ( If.. "Big if " )..... I buy the beast, I would check & refresh the brakes anyway.

Tomorrow I will inquire at the GMC stealer about the column problem.

I'm surprised a member, here, doen't seem to share any column issues...
Maybe it is not a common problem?

Re: Looking at buying an '05 Yukon XL

loose steering wheel adjustment is due to a worn out "lever-lock - spring".

The spring holds the adjuster lever, back into place, to lock in, the release.

$10 spring

1 1/2 labor to replace. Not bad, all things considering.

If all things go well, the Yukon will be mine tomorrow... ( Monday).....

You guys will be seeing me hanging around here after that!

I'll be shopping for a full length liner... is Weathertech the best for the $$...for the rear, with the 3rd row seat removed.
( probably a new thread....)....
