What's up everyone?
I just picked up my first Yukon today at an auction for (what I hope was) a decent deal. It's a 99 model Denali 4wd (are all Denali models 4wd?) with 129k miles. The body is in decent shape. The front doors need some work (I'm hoping it's just hinge bushings like an S10), the interior needs some love, and the motor has a dead miss on at least one cylinder. Also, the A/C blower doesn't work up front, so I don't know if the A/C works or not.

A bit about myself:
I'm 24, and a gearhead. Never been much for modern muscle, but I do love the classics. I've always steered more toward the imports when it comes to daily street beaters. I've always been partial to the old Datsun Z cars and my 240s. Nowadays I rock a '94 Prelude which is an awesome car. Unfortunately, it came from Nebraska, so it has rust issues... and 226k miles on the stock motor means I needed a second vehicle just in case.

Anyways, I couldn't pass up the Yukon when the bids stopped at $1600. Here are some pics. My other car tried to photobomb it, lol. Ignore the stupid aftermarket badges. They're terrible.






I do have some questions after doing a bit of reading... but one important one, my Yukon is considered OBS, right?

Thanks. I needed something bigger and more practical then my pavement dragging Prelude. It's not going anywhere, but I can give it some rest and tlc now that I have a second vehicle.



Are there any common issues for this body style, other than the obvious water pump issues?

it says "turbo" over the gmc logo in the back LOL,its probly been beat to all hell but you got it for a price that even my penny pinchin ass would consider buying!

The interior is a bit rough, certainly. All the interior door handles are broken, the dash needs to be replaced because of the sun making it crack at the defroster cents, and the center console won't latch because sometime broke the button to release it lol. Not huge issues for a Chevrolet from what I can tell. Handles are cheap enough. Console is going to be a pain. At least it's not as uncommon as my Honda. Out of the four years of my body style, there were only about 15,000 imported to North America in my trim level. Interior parts are nearly impossible to find.
