2016 GMC Yukon XL Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 GMC Yukon XL is built around two overhead-valve V8s, each naturally aspirated and each listed for flex-fuel or gasoline: a 5.3L of 325 cubic inches and a 6.2L of 376. Three trims, Denali, SLE and SLT, carry them in the four-door sport utility body. The engine choice changes fastener specifications, clearances and calibration values, and those are called out separately, while the chassis and body coverage applies across the range.
