Hello from CA

[Matt_D]

Just picked up a new-to-me 2004 Yukon XL 2500. It has the 8.1, 4.10 rear end, and for having 178k miles is in really good shape.

I had a 2000 Suburban 2500 with the 6.0 and 3.73 rear end that died in a freak and unfortunate engine fire.

I spent 6 months looking for this combo in a Yukon/‘burb that wasn’t thrashed. Had a few sold while I was literally on my way to look/buy, before finally having this one shipped from VA.

So glad to finally have another and am blown away at the difference between the two engine/rear end combos.

Welcome! Great looking Yukon! Looks like an absolute tank! I haven’t driven a 2500 but that the 8.1 and 4.10s on the rear sound alike it would be a lot of fun! Lol probably pulls like a tank!

Welcome from Iowa. Nice looking Yukon!

A few years ago, my wife wanted to test drive a 2006 2500 Suburban with the 8.1 in it. She said that dealer looked at her a little weird and said, "you know that's a 3/4 ton truck, right?" She said, "yes and I want to take it for a drive." She told me it had a whine to it when she was going down the highway. I told her it was probably because the gas screaming from the tank to the engine fast enough to feed the 8.1! It was actually the aggressive A/T tires it had on it. Would have loved to get that truck, because who wouldn't want an 8.1l but it was a little much for what we needed.

Welcome from VA Matt. Which part of VA. some areas get a good bit of snow thus may have rust to check for. Looks great.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

It was a southern VA truck and seems rust free. There is some on the rear bumper, but the body and underbody are clean.
