Here are some more information for Yukon Denali:

Alaska, wild and immense, is one of the planet's treasures - a vast landscape of cloud-swept peaks, deep blue lakes and mammoth glaciers. Between its mountain ranges stretch endless forests and tundra plains, where wolves howl from their lookouts and herds of migrating caribou flow like dark waves across countryside.

Inland from Anchorage is yet another great mountain wall, the Alaska Range, with Mount McKinley and Denali National Park as its centerpiece. Mount McKinley floats over the landscape like a cloud catching the sun. Called Denali ("the great one") by Athabaskan Indians, the mountain was renamed in 1986. Its south summit, the highest point in North America, was first reached by climbers in 1913.

Alaska's immense interior stretches off to the north, extending to the icebound Brooks Range.

The interior climate is marked by extraordinary extremes. In midwinter, when the sun appears for only few hours a day, temperatures seldom rise above rise above zero. In midsummer, the days last more than 20 hours, temperatures often reach the 70s and residents cool off by waterskiing on the lakes and rivers.

This is a land of clear skies and vast horizons, of rambling mountains, wide valleys and sinuous rivers. Mightiest of the rivers is the Yukon, which flows nearly 2,000 miles from northern Canada to the Bering Sea. The mountains here are clothed in a dense, temperate rain forest of hemlock, cedar and spruce. Many of the trees are destined for pulp mills in Ketchikan and Sitka, but those that left uncut in the deep valleys reach heights of 200 feet and live a thousand years or more. The forest provides a sheltered home for bears, mountain goats and black-tailed deer. Bald eagles nest in ancient snags overlooking bays prowled by seals and humpback whales. And each summer millions of salmon swarm into the streams to spawn.

Jack London described the Yukon in the "Call of the Wild", when it was peopled with hermit-like hunters, trappers and prospectors. Even today, you can find the same rugged types living in remote cabins and riverbank villages. But the days are gone when hordes of gold seekers followed the Yukon northward - an odyssey that left some men rich, some poor and some buried under snow.

Most of today's adventurers come looking for wilderness rather than gold. Even residents of Fairbanks, the interior's largest city, get a taste of frontier life - when the thermometer reads - 50º F and the brilliant curtains of aurora borealis dance across the night sky; when downtown streets are closed for dog sled races; and when moose drop in to browse the shrubbery in suburban backyards.

Beyond Fairbanks lie limitless tracts of forest, swampy peat bogs and a good number of Alaska's 3 million lakes. For millennia, Athabaskan Indians have inhabited this wild land, trapping game for subsistence. Nowadays they hunt with rifles, ride snowmobiles and travel in motorboats. Times may have changed, but not all of the older ways are forgotten. In isolated trapline cabins along the timberline, elders can be found telling children how to catch a fish by snaring its tail or how to transport a fresh-killed moose in a boat made from its own hide.

Gm Launches More Fuel-saving Six-speed Automatic Transmissions

GM’s plan to offer one million vehicles annually with six-speed automatics by 2008 accelerates in 2006 and 2007 with nearly 40 global vehicle applications of the fuel-saving transmissions. Models of the 2007 Cadillac STS and SRX, as well as the Saturn Aura, Outlook and Pontiac G6, highlight the vehicles offered with new six-speed automatics.

Other models already on sale include the GMC Yukon Denali family, the Cadillac XLR-V, STS-V and Escalade lineup, and the Chevrolet Corvette. GM’s full-size heavy duty pickups are also equipped with an Allison 1000 six-speed automatic when equipped with the Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel engine.

New 2007 model year six-speed automatic transmission variants include the Hydra-Matic 6T70 and 6T75 for front and all-wheel drive vehicles, as well as the Hydra-Matic 6L50 for rear and all-wheel drive vehicles. The 6L50 benefits from the expertise developed with the larger 6L80 rear-wheel drive six-speed transmission (initially in the 2006 model year), and is the second variant in the Hydra-Matic rear-wheel drive six-speed transmission family.

Advantages of a six-speed automatic include improved fuel economy, performance and a shift feel that is seamless to the customer. The six-speed automatic enables a reduced engine rpm at highway cruising speeds. A lower engine speed reduces engine wear and noise, and improves fuel economy.

“It’s a best-of-both-worlds scenario with the six-speed automatic, delivering great performance and enabling improved fuel economy,” said Jim Lanzon, executive director of transmission engineering for GM Powertrain. “It is almost like having two transmissions in one – the high numerical first gear provides tremendous off-the-line acceleration, but the transmission is able to use the six gears to evenly distribute the torque and settle at an overdrive gear that helps deliver great fuel economy.”

Vehicle performance is enhanced with a six-speed, because smaller “steps” are used between gears, compared to a conventional four-speed automatic. This allows the transmission to quickly find the best gear for the vehicle speed and road conditions – there’s less back-and-forth hunting on grades, for example. GM’s new Hydra-Matic six-speeds also use technically advanced clutch-to-clutch operation, which reduces mass, complexity and enables compact packaging. A wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio on most of GM’s six-speeds, compared to 4.0 of typical four-speed automatics, delivers both great performance and improved fuel economy.

“The mechanical simplicity of the clutch-to-clutch shift operation in our new six-speed automatic transmission families, along with a conscious effort to reduce part complexity, is providing us greater flexibility and the ability to launch with a broad application across the GM portfolio,” said Lanzon. “By 2010, GM will introduce 10 new variants of six-speed automatic transmissions, producing three million six-speeds annually.”

GM’s six-speed transmissions also provide tremendous flexibility to customize features for each vehicle brand, such as tapshift range selection, auto grade braking and a tow/haul mode.

How do you clear the code on 2000 GMC Yukon Denali when CMP sensor is replaced?

I own a shop, and "DO NOT" disconnect the battery cable. Leave it alone, or you will loose your presets, and may even have trouble with the anti-theft system. The correct way is to have a scan tool, and hook it to the ADL connector. You can go to Auto Zone, and have them pull any codes you may have, and reset it for you. This way you can't go wrong. On vehicles that were pre-1995 were OBD-1 systems, and unhooking the battery cable, or removing the ECM fuse, was how you reset them, but yours is an OBD-2 system, and the only way they can be reset is with a scan tool.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

2001 GMC Yukon XL from North America - Comments
I have got a Chevrolet 2002 Yukon. The ABS and the brake light is now on. I tried my best to turn off the light, but no use. I have also checked with my code reader, but there is no code present. Will any one help me? THANKS IN ADVANCE.
