2015 Yukon XL 1500 SLT, 4WD, with the 5.3L V8 and 6 speed transmission

Hello!
First post in a long time as I have found most answers in previous posts, thank you for the info! I have a 2015 Yukon XL with 96,500 miles on it. I bought it in 2018 with about 35k on it and it has been one of my favorite vehicles. Judging by the forum, I may be lucky with how reliable this rig has been and I am a bit nervous with how long to keep it. The vehicle is all original and has been mostly maintenance only (rear axle seals replaced, AC line that had to be replaced and two recall several years ago). I have not done the lifter delete or anything else. What are the most common issues in the mileage range? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

IMO, your truck is getting broken in now, if you kept up with the routine maintenance. Get an AFM delete dongle as the minimum, so that you don't encounter that known issue about AFM.

Otherwise, lay aside a small amount of cash each month in a savings/collection account to build up a reserve to cover future repairs which will happen with any vehicle. The money that you save/spend for future repairs on this truck will be nothing, when compared to the cost of a newer truck.
