Big Blue: 2005 GMC Yukon Denali

Good experience with Joyce Motors in Arlington - they are family-owned and next to the Clarendon metro stop, so I just dropped off the Denali and took the Metro a few stops to work yesterday.

My P/S leak was diagnosed as a bad steering box, naturally the most expensive repair to the steering system. And the front-end wobble was a bad right-side tie rod (both inner and outer were replaced). So, kind of a big shop bill, but it's worth knowing I'll be safe with the M3 in tow, and not doing a lick of work myself in 5* weather.

I thought old GM trucks just had sloppy steering - well, when they were new, they didn't. This new steering box has the wheel feeling far more direct. Money (very) well spent.
