I own a 2011 Yukon XL, it was my first car and my dad bought it for me when I was 19. 190 000 miles on it and surprisingly clean, I fell in love with it immediately LOL

3 years later, an unbelievable amount of gas money spent, and officially nicknamed 'Atlas,' I've done what little I know to do, keeping it clean, airing tires up, and getting oil changes but, at almost 222 000 miles now, and without my dad around anymore to do all the more complicated stuff for me, ive finally accepted that I actually need to learn stuff to maintain my big old man of a car so in hopes of learning more car... stufff I found this forum and thought might as well join so I can learn some tips and things
I'd love to keep old Atlas around for as long as possible and hopefully this forum helps me in doing that lol

Welcome from NYC!

Sorry to hear on your loss of your dad but he would be happy to know you are maintaining Atlas so well!

Ah, we wonder is this another AI/bot post, or are you for real? Lesson #1, pics or we don’t believe it’s real. Sorry, but we are REALLY old school.
Welcome if you are real!!!

Welcome from Orlando. You will see that keeping an older vehicle in great shape is done all the time. Pretty much everything can be done has been done. Some of the rigs you will see on his Forum (and other places) are better than when they wee rolled out of the factory.

Me, I am more of a "keep it stock" guy, plus I am much older now and not into doing much work. I just enjoy the using damn thing. Good luck with Atlas!
