I own a 08 Yukon Denali and it has had a few problems...I also (recently) own a 06 CS and the interior in the GMC is not even close to the Porsche.

Just sell your CS and get newer one. Better quality overall

What kind of issues?

These really are only known for a few things. Once those are taken care of it should be good again.

I know of a couple of 200,000+ miles Cayennes

It's entirely up to you - but I'd have the Cayenne repaired and keep it. What other issues have you had besides the cardan shaft?

My 2004 CS has had a few minor issues, but overall it has been very reliable. It's a great vehicle.

I've heard of the front diff problem. Seems fairly rare. Go on "car-part.com" and see if you can find a used one and have a local independent replace it.

A bit of a thread hijack here, but Cole - I was wondering if you were going to attend the Porsche Breakfast Club drive to Steamboat Springs last weekend. I was there, and it was great!

I tried very hard but ultimately got vetoed!

We just got back from riding our motorcycles to Vancouver, BC. The first stop on the way out was Steamboat. Jeska was just not very excited to run back up there so soon.

cole ill be honest with u im doubting that it has any thing to do with the front axe, cause the guy who tald me so is the one that fixed my drive shaft, and i think it wasnt fixed properly... i checked on ebay and i found a supporting bearier for the drive shaft , are they good?? and isnt the issue always with the bearier??

thanks

Any local 4x4 or drive shaft shop can build you a new shaft for a few hundred bucks. There is nothing special about it.

They can probably build you a better one. 4x4 guys have to build a lot of extreme duty shafts .
