New Member from Texas

[McDermut]

Hello All!

I'm a new member to this forum from the Texas Panhandle. I've been driving for almost three years now, and am currently attending college. My first and current vehicle is a 1999 GMC Yukon SLT 4-Door Utility (4X4), with a stock 5700 V8 "Vortec" engine. It's got 134300 miles on it and was inherited from my grandfather who bought it used in the early 2000s, where it was used as a farm truck until about 2012.

I'm very much looking forward to learning more about these trucks, as well as maintaining and improving them (when possible). I have no intentions of ever selling my truck and want to drive it as long as possible, I have a lot of memories in it with my grandfather when younger and helping him out with farm work.

I have a lot to learn but I'm hoping to help others as well in the future!

Thank you!

Welcome Alex! Every scratch and dent on that farm truck has a story to tell, don't be wary about showing them off. We like them all!

Hey Buddy, welcome from Cali. Just got back from Dallas area and drove a new truck back home. Great time of the year just as everything is starting to green up. There’s a huge amount of combined knowledge here. Bring it on Alex!

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome! I had some internet issues so I've been focused on surviving a now all-online semester.

I did finally have a chance to take some decent pics in good weather.

I can see how you "intercept" cows with that big cattle pusher on the front.

Indeed, however it's been a long time since it was used to push cattle, back when they were still living at the farm and grazing cows.

BTW I didn't name it, that was my grandfather not too long after he bought it I believe. He had a rather whimsical side that came out frequently. It never fails to draw attention every now and then driving it around, even had a couple students take pictures while at college.

Looks to be in excellent shape and very well maintained!

Could've used that truck a few counties over as a cow broke the quarantine and was trotting down a busy road with Sheriff's Deputies in pursuit!

The old girl looks great!

Thank y'all! She has been pretty well maintained, but I've had to replace and work on a couple things mechanically since I got it, just from being used as a farm truck and age.
