Ok so I just bought a Yukon that has 165k on it and it runs great! Just curious how many miles you guys have on your trucks and how strong the motors still are....mostly concerned about the 5.3L motor cause that's what I have.
180k on mine, purchased with 150k

doesn't burn any oil, I run Mobil1 0W20, and a K&N drop in filter, and it runs like a brand new truck.

So after more thought I changed my mind and purchased an 04 Yukon XL 2500 6.0L. It has 172k on it right now. The motor doesnt have as much power as i thought it was gonna have, so I think it might have a small issue. Gonna get it on a scanner and see whats up. Either way i'm happy with my purchase.

Wait...in your first post you said you just bought a Yukon with 165 k on it - how did you return it and buy a different rig?

I put a down payment on that one while I was waiting to get my insurance situated. I have a lot of points on my license and I explained that to the guy I was buying from. He said that if I couldn't get insurance he'd refund my money. So I found this other one in the meantime and I jumped on it.

167,000 on my 04, 5.3. Only engine issue was the intake manifold gasket leaking. Common issue and not a hard or expensive fix.
It's the transmission on these that you have to worry about. I've had 2 on a well maintained vehicle. Granted I towed quite often but well within the stated vehicles specs.
