convince me to buy a 2door yukon!

[capeguy97]

hello everyone, im new to this forum. recently ive been looking into buying a 2 door tahoe/yukon and i want peoples experience based opinions on buying a fully loaded 1995 yukon. im currently driving a 1999 dodge ram 1500 and ive pretty much had it with this shitbox. the yukons odometer is reading 107k but the title says discrepancy?? its got new tires and the pics show no body rot and the owner claims it has no undercarriage rot or rust. he says the seats are not ripped but a little worn. its all heated and power leather but the power doesnt work? thinking a bad connection or motor? i was curious about the fuel economy also... not what the door sticker says, but peoples hand calculations. i will be running a set of 33'' mud tires on it if purchased, and i was wondering what kinda performance and mpgs people are getting out of the with headers/exhaust system, cold air intake, and whatever else. i think it has a 5.7 tbi 350... correct me if im wrong. Anways, the guy wants $2500 obo for it. Whats everybody think??? thanks

Lucky bastard.. Welcome to the forum. Now get to reading and go scoop up that truck. Wait, strike that; reverse it. :thinking....eureka: There we go!

Get it. Yes its a tbi 350 5.7 i have pretty much the same but mines a 94. You will love the seats they are really comfy. It gets about 13ish mpgs but they run great. Mines lifted 3 in on hummer h3 rims and im gonna get military 36s and maybe a couple more in of lift. I would get a air cleaner for it. I took the oem one out converted it to one stud very easy and put the cleaner on

I'll be honest here... I have replaced more stupid parts on my 2 door than I care to share. That being said, I wouldn't trade it for anything. They do have quite a bit of quirks but this forum has a plethora of help and information. There isn't any part on the truck that someone here hasn't touched. Expect to be fixing stuff.

Also there are some really good upgrades that can go on that motor and that's really why everyone keeps them going. Plus the fact that there are no other 2 door full size suv's that look as good as these keeps their value higher than expected. And they are fun to drive and hard to find.

Good Luck.

Omg everyone wants these damn things! I've been looking for months and they get snatched up quick around here, mostly black ones. I'm sorta half ass looking since I have alot of vehicles already. Trying to find one cheap and man its hard. People are either out of their mind on price or its priced good and they're gone. Grab it.

[capeguy97]
