Just bought a 2004 Yukon XL 2500

i just bought a 2004 Yukon XL 2500 with 8.1, 4.10 rear end and 178k miles. For the mileage it’s in really good shape. The seller had just replaced the front hubs, bearings, ball joints, pitman arm, a/c compressor, rear rotors and battery

Since buying it I’ve replaced the air filter, plugs/wires, both O2 sensors, flushed the trans fluid and replaced the filter, swapped the original Delphi Autoride shocks with Bilstein 4600s, and replaced a heavy duty fan clutch that was in it (that was as loud as a semi truck) with the proper OEM unit, and will be putting a fresh set of tires on this week.

I had a 2000 Suburban 2500 with the 6.0 and 3.73 rear end that died in a freak and unfortunate engine fire.

I spent 6 months looking for this combo in a Yukon/‘burb that wasn’t thrashed. Had a few sold while I was literally on my way to look/buy, before finally having this one shipped from VA.

So glad to finally have another and am blown away at the difference between the two engine/rear end combos.

i had 4.10 gears in a gmc pick up. that thing could rip a house down for sure. i only had the 6.0, that 8.1 must be a real horse.

Very nice rig. You bought the twin to my rig (aside from color) 2004 Yukon XL K2500 8.1 with 4.10’s. I bought mine with 178k miles also and nearly the same shape. They are a diamond in the rough. I spent over a year to find ours. Nice find! They are amazing rigs. Enjoy!

Agreed. Best I could get was 12 unloaded at 65mph. I fixed that problem by swapping in a duramax. Now it’s 20-21mpg at 70mph.
