Hey guys! Newbie here! Had my ol reliable 99 Yukon for a few years now. And found this forum! New to tinkering on cars, usually able to do mechanics myself if it needs it! Any suggestions on a Yukon with 245K on the clock?

Yeah i suggest you drive it until something breaks then fix it

When/if you have to dig into the doors buy a pack of the clips from amazon or parts store. They’re fragile from the get-go and 20 years hasn’t helped! Expect 1/3 of them to break the first time you pull a door panel.
You’ve had the truck long enough now to find any major issues, my best .02 is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Oh yeah! Haha had to replace the blown stock speakers and replaced the interior door handles while I was at it!

Just did a door handle this weekend. The handle broke around the spring, looked like cheap pot metal fatigue.
I went the lazy route and just worked around the door panel with the controls connected as I spent over an hour trying to disconnect the wiring and failed, only to have one of the few remaining pins poke a hole in the stock door speaker.
I guess that’s the next project!
