I managed to cut a deal. On it for 2700 truck is sweet. High milage, but it is really good serviced.
What do you think?
Total fan of it! I bought my 01 with 280k on it and it didn’t have even 1/10th of the records you have and I beat on it for a year and 15k miles before it had issues. This is a nice… NICE truck with the 8.1 and 4.10. You got yourself a killer deal because of you drive it for a year or two and clean it up a bit it will be worth $2800. Great buy and you will love it.

Here we go picked it up yesterday. I need to figure out how to eliminate opening noise on back doors. Rear driver side wi doesn't go down. When button is pressed it makes some noise for a sec and then nothing. Window is not moving. Pump is making a bit of noise. I will fix it when it will be warmer. I want to change shocks for more comfortable ride (what shocks would you recommend?). Later on after threads will go down I will swap out wheels. I think 20 or 22 , but for now can't find anything that will fit.

I have the Rancho 9000 adjustable and I like them. Not expensive either. Highly recommend and can be bought on RockAuto.

Don’t do 20s. Will sacrifice ride comfort. Stick with 18s.

The window is likely the regulator. I think those are known to go out. I think there are several threads talking about it.

Thanks for informing. By the way I will need to swap out towing mirrors. They are automatic, but only with adjustment. I want to make them fold automatically. Do you happen to know how to do it? I saw some on Amazon for $100 with automatic folding, but how to make it work with my Yukon XL, I have no idea.

Ooo… adding folding… not 100% sure for your gen but I think it can be added with the correct mirror switch. I did not have power fold on my Sub like yours but I’m sure someone here will be able to help more!

Got and abs light. But it glows steadily not flashing. I hooked up a scant tool. Appears to be front wheel speed sensor. I ordered it from Rockauto already. Should be by the end of the week. Also I would need an oil change. Sometimes light is on sometimes it is not. I think I will do both of them at mechanic shop. It's not a complicated job. I will have to use to this truck. It's huge, but still not as huge as my Sprinter. I will add top view rear camera and parking sensors to it. And also will remove rear bumper. I will install Street Pan roll. And modify the towing hitch. Those few inches play a lot in NYC.
