Finally did it, Yukon Hybrid!

[lt1gmc]

After lusting for a Hybrid for several years, I finally found a like new one that I could afford, a 2009 Yukon. Highly recommend Jim King of King Motor Company, Marion Arkansas, just west of Memphis. He carries only super nice, higher mileage vehicles, often Hybrids, and has a Silverado hybrid currently in stock. He was honest in description by phone, and checked several items I asked about, fixing them before I arrived from out of state. He made every effort to ensure I was happy before delivery of the Yukon.
Love my Hybrid's mileage so far, averaging 19.8 in town. It auto stops at every light, I can slowly get to 28 mph on battery, and V4 mod at 70 shows 24-25 mpg. I could not be happier since with my old Tahoe I was averaging 12 in town.
Thanks to everyone on here for all the great information contributed.

Congrats! I sold my '08 Hybrid in April and miss it! Are you looking to modify it at all?

Not at this time, thought about the resonator delete, but I am kinda liking not being able to tell if its on electric power or not without looking at the dash. I think its pretty cool that it is that quiet.

You will not notice any sound difference in the vehicle without the resonator at low speeds or low RPM's, it is exactly the same sound. It is only slightly noticeable at mid to high RPM's and ever so slightly at highway speeds. If you stand behind the vehicle it is slightly noticeable at idle. It's actually not even overwhelmingly noticeable at any time, I wondered why they even put it on there in the first place.

I removed my resonator primarily to enhance the appearance from the back and to lose approx. 39 pounds(the weight of the resonator). It looks so much better from the back without the resonator hanging half way under the bumper cover and my muffler guy made the pipe look much better than stock, it follows the body lines now rather than just hanging down.

Thats what I needed to hear, I hate the look of the resonator hanging down, and its a bit crooked/unlevel anyway. Off it is coming. Has anyone else used the SLP tip for a conventional Tahoe? Looks to be a nice piece and at 100 bucks priced well.

Seen this in the wild the other day, Columbia, MO.
Was in the work truck and couldn't catch up to it in traffic. The best I could get.
