    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    He will literally walk in the door and say "I'm up to 14.7 miles per gallon" and be excited about it.

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    No worries. We fall in line with your thinking. Son's car, 302,000. Wife's car, 165,000. Daughter's car, 130,000. Cars are not a big thing to us. They are nice cars but we drive them until the wheels fall off.

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    Sorry. The dammit was more because we had finally fixed everything on the truck. Not because I was mad at him.

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    I think we decided over the weekend to keep it. He also found a company offering a gas card that for the first 90 days (about how long he will live at home) gives 40 cents back for every gallon you purchase.

    Damn, y'all just come up with all kinds of scenarios in your heads.

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    He doesn't want to sell it. He has a personal pride moment every time someone asks him how many miles it has on it (302,000 now).

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    It's not a responsibility issue or anything else. He is waiting to get an apartment in the other city because we need him taking care of the farm for a few weeks this summer while we move our daughter in to college. What you thought you read in this post was not it. He could also pay cash for...

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    Yeah. He just graduated and got his first job. Living at home for a few months (or longer). Weighing whether a new car payment or big gas bills are the poison he wants to pick. Hoping to wait until next summer when his new Bronco will be delivered.

    After all that work...probably getting rid of the Yukon

    My son is driving an hour each way for work every day and is getting tired of filling up every other day. The dilemma is to keep the Yukon and let him buy a new car or let him sell it to help him buy new. I just replaced all the shocks and springs, new brakes all around, new radiator, new...

    Need upgrade for off grid property

    We have Falken's on ours and I really like them. Will probably put them on my F-150 next time I need tires. We have bilsteins and z71 springs with the ford keys to help level the front. Ride is OK but that may be a bit jarring. Might want to look at something a little smoother like a previous...

    Help diagnosing two issues 1) misfiring/stumbling 2) coolant loss

    Biggest issue on ours with coolant loss has been the gaskets. Just replaced with Fel-Pro's and they seem to be holding fine.

    Brake Switch Possibly Going Bad

    I won't be. Other shop found the problem and said it was very suspect. Really disappointed.

    Brake Switch Possibly Going Bad

    So, I had a local shop do the switch for me since I was so worried about getting under there and not breaking that clip. They decided to take the lower half of the dash off, remove the BCM and all the other stuff under the dash and replace the switch that way. Now the truck is not drivable...

    Brake Switch Possibly Going Bad

    Took it to a mechanic. Worth a hundred for me not to have to contort under there. All good now.

    Brake Switch Possibly Going Bad

    Was following my son the other day and his brake lights stopped working. Got to the cabin and checked all the fuses and they were fine. Did some research and found that the brake switch could be bad. The brake lights are working again but I don't like the idea of something being wrong and not...

    Oil Pan Gasket

    Exactly how we did it.

    Oil pressure drops after 2000 miles +/- after oil change solved

    No fitment issues? Hanging down too low?

    Oil pressure drops after 2000 miles +/- after oil change solved

    Curious as to why you used a different filter than what is recommended for your truck? I'm intrigued if it would perform better.

    May buy 05 Yukon - what should I look for?

    300K on our 05. Has been a pretty good truck but they do have lots of things that need to be fixed. Not necessarily expensive but water pumps go, gaskets leak, evap cylinders need replacing, etc. You can easily get to 200 with that motor as long as it is in decent shape.

    Oil Pan Gasket

    Last night we replaced the oil pan gasket on my son's 05 Yukon 4x4. That. Absolutely. Sucked. My son just graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Told him if he ever designed something like that I would throttle him.

    The Dreadful P0446

    Had that on my son's yukon (twice) and changed the canister by the spare tire. Took 30 minutes (including getting it on and off the lift) and fixed it for a while. For grins and giggles I took the old canisters apart. Full of dust. Shitty design and shittier location.
