GMC owners manual says "towing my vehicle on a fours will damage the drivetrain components."

I read that a Remco lube pump on my transmission is required to avoid the damage described above.

Besides the lube pump, tow package and brake buddy, is that all I need to ensure my Yukon does not get damaged?

Does the Remco modification in anyway void my GMC factory warranty?

Thanks,

Curt

Is it only the transmission, that's the problem , I thought the main issue , was the AWD transfer case.

Time for me to do some reading I guess.

Ok , Remco web site says a lube pump is what you need.
Remco offers a warranty for certain vehicles , whether your factory warranty is effected is up to GM.

Hopefully someone has some experience with a Remco transmission lube pump on an SUV like mine.

I have owned 2 Denali's. I love them. I know exactly why you want to use it as a toad. I bought an LTZ Tahoe to pull after I exhausted my efforts on trying to come up with a good way to pull my Denali. I now pull a Z71 silverado instead of the Tahoe. I wanted to be able to bring the golf cart along also. My suggestion would be to look into buying a fully loaded LTZ Tahoe. They are almost identical just a little less bling and 4wd in lieu of AWD. If REMCO will stand behind their product I would go that route maybe. I'm almost positive that 2 years ago there was not an option to tow a Denali.

Sounds like I need to put the Yukon up on a trailer...

If it is an 08 or newer I would buy a lube pump and tow it. If I still had mine that is exactly what I would do.

I had a 2004 Denali with a lube pump. My Denali caught on fire towing 4 wheels down with a Remco lube pump, never determined what started the fire which resulted in burning up our previous motorhome as well. I AM NOT saying the Remco lube pump had anything to do with it, insurance company hired fire investigator and they couldn't determine cause of fire either. I personally believe it had something to do with fuel, but I will never know for sure?

I have a 2008 Escalade and Remco told me they didn't have a lube pump for this AWD vehicle nor for a GMC Denali. Hence I purchased an enclosed trailer.
