Hello all new here. :-)

[tahopp]

Hello all. I've been lurking here for a little over a year now and figured I'd finally say hello I'm from Michigan, just outside of Detroit. I'm married with two kids anyhow I have a 2001 yukon sle 4x4. I found her 9 months ago and it was a long and sorted ordeal. Long story short I was suckered into and abused truck that has 200k on it when the previous owner had changed the cluster to say 125k. So after a long laundry list of major repairs and minor modifications my truck is finally shaping up to be what I wanted it to be. Here's some pics. And thanks for having me.

Looks like a clean Yukon sorry to hear about your troubles with it. Hopefully it'll be all good since hopefully all the bugs are out of it

Thanks man it's coming along. Got some rust issues here and there and normal dents to be dealt with. Idle is a little funky at times but it's come a long way.

It looks pretty clean I like the NNBS GMC wheels on there it looks sharp. When I bought my Tahoe from the used car lot it had 291,000 miles on it and I changed the oil it started knocking bad I think they ran a 50 weight oil in it to keep it quiet but I drove it till about 294,000 before I changed the engine out to a 5.3 out of a 05 avalanche that got rear ended engine only had 54,000 miles on it. I love my Tahoe its definitely been a good one after doing a engine swap. Nice thing about these is parts are pretty easy to find and cheap for the most part

So far....
Fuel pump
Water Pump
Lower ball joints
Intake gaskets
Oil pressure switch
Knock sensors
Rear main and cover gaskets
Oil pan gasket
U joints
Plugs and wires

Seems like I'm missing some things... I did some evap odds and ends too along with rear brakes a couple weeks back..... and this was all before mods. Lol

Yeah man, they're pretty special cars. He found that one bone stock in a garage about three blocks away in our neighborhood when he was 17. The owner let him make payments for what seemed like 10 years before he was done . lol at this point he's accumulated almost everything to put it into the 9 ' s or better just gotta get it all in the car. I'm more of an early 70's camaro guy myself but alas my wife and kids keep me too broke lol. least I got my yukon
