Snagged the cleanest 07-14 Yukon I've ever seen

[Bex914]

My 02 Yukon Xl had been on it's way out for a while. The transmission had been slowly developing issues with flairing on shifts. It also had existing issues I didn't care to fix so it came time to look for a new vehicle.

Initially I was looking for a newer impala or lacrosse due to 3 kids in car seats and wanting a car. However I couldn't pass up this yukon when it came in. 2010 yukon SLT 5.3L 4wd with 72k miles. It was a GM corporate vehicle for 3 years and 34k miles then owned by an older couple for 7 years and 38k miles. They took immaculate care of it and did every service recommended. Its loaded with black leather interior, Bose and sunroof. It also has 2nd row bench which I wanted so all three kids are in teaching distance. Its spotless inside and out, refused to let the detail department touch it when I got it . Also managed to snag a set of take-off wheels and tires from a 0 mile 2019 Silverado with Michelin primacy Ltx tires. Only issue is I gotta swap TPMS sensors due to frequency change.

Had AFM disabled within 24 hours of purchase.

Future plans for now are small lowering kit(maybe 1.5-2 inches), intake and exhaust for now then get it Dynotuned at Dynotune Motorsports here in Columbus. Most of all want to clean up these lazy shift and clean up the lazy throttle response.

Future plans as time goes on are a AFM delete via small cam and lifters. Don't want to go deal with anything needing a new torque converter, and headers,

Nice find on your well maintained 2010 Yukon! Looks brand new. You got the perfect color combo.

I wanted Black leather when I was looking for my Tahoe but could not make a deal on the two I found so ended up the Coca Dune which is okay.

Good find! Looks really nice from the outside. Post more pics when you get a chance.

Looks nice. Congrats. How's the dash? Cracked?

Not at all. I even pressed around on the dash. It's still got flex in it. Found that 1% that's not cracked

Good find!

My 2011's dash wasn't cracked at all, but the tab in the middle near the light sensor that the defroster vent strip pops into and helps support it was broke and the dash had a little bounce there.

Nice- very clean.

My dash WAS mint, until about 3 months ago... I even had foam support under the areas that had the bounce. I have the typical one by the airbag, and now a new one started on the left of the instrument cluster. Surprising that the area around the center speaker is still 100% good. I am thinking of wrapping the dash in leather in the future, of course I'll fix the cracks first or just buy a shell and wrap that one.

Outstanding find!

Good luck with your future mods.

Whoa! Landed well on that brother!! Grab some of the GM oem pvc backed molded carpet mats & a sunshade to preserve the virgin carpet and dash. Get a ceramic based sealer on the paint ASAP because left as is, it’s just a clear coat explosion ticking to go off.

Three car seats. I remember those days. Lotta fun and I guarantee you’ll want a folded towel under each car seat or you’ll have perma dents in the leather when they’re removed. The bench is so awesome because you can buy a cover made for doggo’s that’ll cover the entire bench to protect it from the food.

By taking the towel and seat cover route we knew we were winners. On the way to LAX w/ kids in truck, my youngest barfed an entire bottle on herself, in the car seat and down into the seat cover. We still made our flight because I could pull the seat, towel and cover, hose everything off w/ the nozzle and swap in the set up from our other car. Wife changed daughter outfit w/ hyper fast bath and on our way 15 min later.

ZERO offensive odor then, and more importantly, ZERO offensive odor when we came back to truck a week later from truck sitting in airport parking lot. Wifey still brags about how well the towels and seat covers worked out because 2 1/2 years later, the 06 Denali sold for $10 grand less than we paid for it.


My sister in law’s Yukon reeked so bad of spilled baby bottles and vomit from twins and their son, they had to practically pay the dealer to trade it in. Accidents are costly but prudence pays. Congrats on having all the kiddos and wife in THE SAFEST ride out there. Good job Dad!

sweet find

Clear uv tint on the windshield and window shade should help some. I have always lived in Florida, the sun eats everything! I have a 1990 240sx with no cracks at all in the dashboard and that is rare. Window shades do work if you are Religious about using them.

The leather dash on the NNBS Escalade are Tahoma leather simply glued onto a standard dash panel. Just that one layer of thin leather is enough to keep the UV off the OE material and preserve it. If we were going to keep our 08 Denali XL I'd simply have a wrecker pull a dash in best condition possible and have it dropped off at an upholstery shop with pictures of the stitching of an Escalade dash to copy.

That'd be enough to split the cost on the next step which is the swap / install. Then you can call it done once and for all. When I was looking into doing this one shop suggested scuffing the surface of the OE dash, filling any cracks and imperfections, then layering out an epoxy product to give the leather a good bond and adding additional reinforcement for the future.

One key thing to remember is that on the 2015+ Esky leather dashes, they're already failing. Small bubbles form and cancer the dash instead of cracking. Thumbs up GM (In the shape of an L on your forehead).

I was looking at Denalis and just missed a SUPER clean one in Imlay City....Even the headsets for the AV system looked new....LOL

 

[watuzi]

Nice find you got there. How much did you pay for the wheels? Did it come with the tires also? I just want to know a good deal when I look for rims on Craigslist. Thanks

 

[Antdogbmx]

rad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well with a 2010 you got the strong 6L80 transmission........some simple tuning the TCM and it will shift like a boss. Even with a cam the converter in there will be fine.
