Hello all. I'm from the Denver area and although I'm new around here, I'm not new to GM vehicles. I was a GM master certified tech for approx 10 years before I moved on from there. I did fleet work on Ambulances for a couple years, started a mobile mechanic business and then one of my loyal fleet customers (a taxi company) made me an offer for full time employment that I couldnt refuse. So now I specialize in prius's. Never saw that one coming lol.
Anyways, I have had 2 Yukons. First was a 96 Yukon which I drove for about 1.5 years. Traded that in for my current yukon, a very clean 2003 Yukon xl 2500 8.1L which had 127000 miles at the time of purchase (4ish years ago). It has towed my 14ft utility trailer that weighs in at almost 8000 lbs nearly every day with zero issues (until recently, that is). Currently has 206000 miles and the radiator gave up the ghost. I'll post my question about that in the appropriate section though.
Here's a pic of my rig
