Fix and Keep My 2015 GMC Yukon SLT or Get Rid of It?

[EducatorDan]

BringTheNoise - I was going to tease you about being so worried about a 200K Yukon when you work at a BMW dealership and the great reputation that BMW has for aging well... All kidding aside...

As others have said it looks like you're on the right path. The only thing that came to mind is whether the trucks computer might store things like that "hill start assist" light coming on and if a code reader could pull information about it. Although as others have said, start by checking the condition of the brake fluid.

Your buddy that is a BMW mechanic and does work on the side - let him do the "all mechanics" stuff. The "all mechanic stuff" is stuff every mechanic should be able to do. Changing oil. Antifreeze flush. etc.

Even flushing the brake fluid (even you can do that with a $30 pump from Amazon) for example. That should definitely make the pedal feel better

He should also be able to check and replace basic suspension components like sway bar bushings and sway bar links if they need it. Check bearings on wheels.

The AFM\DOD delete (4 cylinder deactivation) can be done with a $50 device off amazon.

Lots of good advice in this thread to get you started.

Keep the truck. You will be happy.
