    Yeah, gas will be a wash for the most part. And I've also decided to go with the 18 and up for the 10 speed, even if it's a little more up front.

    I've thought about that a lot. But I think I am just ready for something a little more modern. Plus probably double the MPG's that the 8.1 gets. If I had all the money in the world, I would have both.

    Agreed, but eventually some of my cars become "beaters" and they are no longer cared for like they were when they were newer. My 2006 Cadillac STS4 V8 is a good example. I've owned it 10 years now and the salt from Michigan roads started taking their toll 3 or 4 years back. I then decided to not...

    Yeah, I probably actually have most, spread throughout my email. The main vehicle I work on is my 2001 Porsche Boxster S, and I get all OEM parts that I order from Pelican Parts. So I don't really "throw them away", but it would take me hours to get them all together. The Suburban I don't really...

    Welp, that was exactly what I was fishing for. Thanks, lol. Did you get the trans flushed and reprogrammed and go with the AFM disabler (or delete), or did you just call it good and drive it? I've read nothing but bad about the lifters and 8 speed transmissions for the last week and a half. It...

    Oh, and also, is there a certain list of things to do right away if I do decide to purchase? Trans flush, AFM disabler, etc,?

    Hello everyone. I've been reading on the forums for a while now, and have read quite a bit on the 2015-2020 Yukon's. The answers to my questions are probably out there somewhere, but I am mostly "fishing" for some personalized encouragement. I currently own a 2002 Suburban LT 2500 4WD 8.1L. It...
