Yes by the litres. Takes $175.00 approx to fill. Not looking at mpg[emoji85]
I can get about 2 weeks to work(6 days a week) and 2 x drives to the beach for breakfast for $100.
I build bicycles for a hobby so being summertime I'm riding to work when I can.
Power to the pedal[emoji110]

Hey, I’m fairly new here too. We have the same year truck.

I see you’re in New Zealand. Hello from Canada. I have a very old and good friend near Christchurch.

Looks warmer there than here!

Cheers,

Hi Guy's
Just joined today.
I have a 97 yukon that I've owed for a bit over a year now. Has done 118k miles.
Am doing a tidy up with the Suspension as currently it handles like a pregnant ***** Whale [emoji228]. Done front sway/link bushes looking at a belltech 1-3" front 4" rear drop from Carid. Any suggestions for others Suspension suppliers welcome.
Thanks

I loved my ‘97 4wd that I bought new but it ATE brake pads and rotors, irregardless of the brand. Had to replace pads every 7,500 miles and rotors every 15k. Mostly stop and go traffic. Other than that mostly just suspension and minor engine repairs. Traded it in for a new 2005 which I still have along with a 2019.

Hey yes
Big machine for lots of stop & go.
Not having any serious issues so far(touch wood) Just replacing worn Suspension at the moment and will sport package with a 4" drop in the rear,3" front.
I just bought a GMC grill/front panel. Will get that painted and add soon. Can you tell me? Does the chrome Bow Tie grill on my Yukon belong with the year or is it from say a Tahoe or Suburban?
Cheers

Met some people from the states at a local farmers market that we were working on a Saturday morning recently. They thought the truck was pretty tidy for the year too!
Love the left hand drive as we drive on the left over here. Can pull up to the curb and step out onto the footpath

That's a great point....In America we should make all our cars with the driver side on the right so that we don't have to step out of the car into oncoming traffic. Who was the Einstein that decided to put the driver on the left ?! Was it Henry Ford?

Lol [emoji16]
The funny thing is,isnt?[emoji848][emoji12] that the wife now has to climb down out of it into traffic.

Going to put the rear sway bar back on today. See new bushes have grease nipples! Funny thing" I was reading a post about pricing difference between front and rear swaybar kits and it's TRUE. The front was like $50 cheaper!
