My '07 Yukon XL Denali has ~165k miles on it.
The rear seal on the motor has been leaking for awhile, I keep cardboard under where it leaks in the garage. The cost is ~$1200 to replace the seal.
Not sure what trans is in it, might be a 6L80? Works fine.
I know if I decided to have the rear seal leak fixed, no sooner will it be done then the trans will need to be rebuilt. So I want to wait to do the rear seal when the trans needs to be done. Why pay to have the trans taken out twice!
I drive the Yukon easy (not accelerating quick, no towing) like an old man (I am 68 years old, retired, and drive like it!).
What is the longevity for the trans?
I had a '95 Suburban before this Yukon and it was Karma that about every 75k miles the trans would go and needed to be rebuilt, so after 340k miles it had been rebuilt 3 times. That was a 4L60E trans and I towed a car trailer with it occasionally.
