Married into a Yukon

[chilerancher]

The wife brought her 2002 GMC Yukon XL to our marriage back in 2006. I'm a Ford guy, but this Yukon has been a real workhorse for us. Just passed 330,000 miles and still feels road-trip worthy, although a little creaky. The interior trim is wearing out faster than the mechanicals. I do most of the work (brakes, ignition, bearing hub, etc.) but had to take it in for rear differential noise and rear main seal.

Looking forward, I think the transmission is starting to shift a little slow, need to replace front ball joints and steering linkage, and need to track down my P0171 and P0174 codes when the weather is below 50 degrees.

Almost all miles in Texas and travelling the Southwest.

Welcome from Iowa.

I can relate to things getting a little creaky over time, but I’m referring to me after 20yrs of marriage.

Welcome to the barn! 330k is pretty good! Plan on a new trans, frankly.
Your 171/4 is a vacuum leak or fuel delivery issue. Easy to tell which with a live data scanner.

How many Ford's have you been through since? LOL Welcome to the forum David, I'd say you're a GM guy too.

Welcome. Post up some pics.

In one of the pics you can see two of our Fords (2013 C-MAX, 1992 Bronco) in the driveway. The Bronco is black so a little hard to see.

Father had a 79 all black Bronco with the 351 when I was a kid. Loved that truck. Think it had 33's on it too.

Your Tahoe looks to be in excellent shape for a vehicle with over 300K miles!

Your Bronco looks similar to the one O.J. Simpson was in with that crazy slow speed chase with this buddy driving. Heard Bronco sales went up sharply after that but just for a short.
